The internal methodology is a powerful technique for fostering identity change through a personalized blend of internal practices and energetic work. Recognized in my 'Space/Time Magic,' this approach empowers practitioners to craft tailored systems for transformation and self-realization.
What is Internal Methodology?
Internal methodology refers to a customized system that integrates internal practices, such as meditation, breathing exercises, and energetic work, to facilitate changes in identity. Unlike standardized techniques, it emphasizes personal adaptation, allowing practitioners to develop a unique system aligned with their energetic and psychological makeup. #
How It Works
Internal methodology involves working with internal states and energetic patterns to influence subconscious programming. In 'Space/Time Magic,' practitioners combine methods like breathwork, visualization, and attunement to specific elements or entities. One example from my work involves working with elemental energies during a year-long process, using breathing meditations to anchor change in identity. This system often incorporates energetic alignments with personal symbols, archetypes, or entities, fostering a deep internal shift. You might focus on specific aspects of identity, employing internal practices to reframe or transform those facets. #
Role in my Framework
Within my body of work, particularly in 'Space/Time Magic,' internal methodology is seen as a core technique for intentional change. It complements other practices like creating power spots or working with entities, serving as a flexible, personalized core method for transformation. I emphasize that such systems are adaptable, allowing practitioners to customize their approach based on their goals and energetic makeup. #
Cross-Tradition Context
This connects to many traditions that value internal work, such as Hermeticism, shamanic practices, and modern energy work. Its emphasis on internal states aligns with practices like altered states of consciousness, automatic writing, and awareness exercises. Practitioners from various backgrounds can adopt internal methodology as a foundational or supplementary practice. It encourages self-awareness, energetic attunement, and intentional change, making it a versatile tool across magical paradigms. #
Practical Notes
To implement internal methodology effectively, start with grounding and centering exercises. Develop a personal practice that combines breathing meditations with visualization or intent setting. Over time, incorporate working with specific elements, entities, or symbols to deepen your internal work. Document your process, noting shifts in perception, emotional states, and identity aspects. Adjust techniques as needed, making the system uniquely yours. Regular practice enhances the effectiveness of this personalized system, leading to sustained internal change. In summary, internal methodology is a flexible, personalized approach to self-transformation that integrates internal practices and energetic work. It is a cornerstone technique in my framework and can be adapted across other traditions for results. Reference: Space/Time Magic by Taylor I.
I ultimately ended up combining my internal methodology with my year long elemental workings, during which I worked with a specific element and representative entities, and used the breathing meditations to make changes to my identity.
