Serotonin Report
For me, Serotonin is a 6 eyed red snake. When I experience Serotonin in my body, it feels like a fuzzy, warm light has encased my body. Serotonin is balance, the balance of the light with the dark, as well as the balance of the neurochemistry of the brain and the balance of the moods [...]
What is practical magic?
I’ve been thinking about what practical magic since I’ve started reading a book about strategic sorcery. When I think about practical magic and what it is, I don’t just think of magic used to solve a problem or crisis in the mundane world, but also as the magician taking a step further and examining what [...]
A definition of embodiment magic
Understanding the relationship of the body with the communication with the subconscious is important to realizing how the body can be worked with successfully. Learning how to embody an emotion or concept can be a useful way to understand the effect the emotion or concept has on your life. Share
Embodiment magic
A while back I’d written about some of my experiences with Laban, a form of physical movement.

I’ve been doing some internal work lately and one of the issues that has arisen has been about control, specifically the control a person has in his/her imagination vs the control s/he has in reality. If a person feels that s/he has no control over circumstances in his/her life, there can be, sometimes, a tendency [...]

I’ve been starting to do some internal work on an issue that was brought to my attention by my significant other. I also decided to book an appointment with my therapist. Back when I was doing the Emptiness working, my ex told me near the beginning of it that she needed me to go see [...]
Working with the monkey mind

For people who are trying to achieve a state of no mind, the monkey mind is particularly troublesome because its a reminder that your mind [...]
