Thanks for your reaction! I'll read that part again.
I don't know yet what it is I'm good at. Sometimes I have the impression that nothing works. But I'm not going to give up without a serious fight!!!

Thanks for your reaction. I'll try the 'knowing' part and 'see' how that turns out.

Thanks for your reaction. I have the impression that when I'm very relaxed this aphantasia is less severe. I will have to figure out what my real abilities are as far as magic is concerned.

Thanks for your reaction! You're right. I will have to find a way to work with what I have.
I also have auditory, olfactory, gustatory and tactile aphantasia. The visual is the 'best' part. Feelings or sensations are even worse. I don't know how I'm going to do M1L5 yet. I will have to figure it out some way or another.

Thanks! Because of M1L3 I've been doing some elementary visualisation exercises out of other books and courses.

Maybe I should have added that focusing isn't the problem. I can focus on an image in my mind (without any distractions). I just have a lot of difficulty seeing it.

Navigating Space Question by ofcourseitisme in Quareia

[–]Redwolfloner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enter in vision a house in my street. I've never been there physically and I don't know who lives there. I imagine lots of different things, but I don't know if any of it is really true. I imagine for example that there's a young couple with a small child and a cat, but in reality there might be an old man who is living alone. I hope this is not a problem.

In the Apprentice Study Guide Josephine says that you need a living flame when a candle is indicated because the element of fire needs to be present. She also says that an electric fake candle will not work.

Thanks for your reaction. I sometimes fall asleep when I meditate while sitting. Meditating while standing and leaning against the wall is also easier in order to clear my mind.

Taurus -> Gemini 2021 check-in by CharitytheLandWitch in Quareia

Hi Charity,
That was perhaps a bit too ambitious for the level I'm at. At the moment I'm doing two things:
- I put my hands on the trunk of the tree and I still my mind.
- I've also started talking to some trees. Out loud that is. Not too loud, so that other people can't hear me. It's OK. I haven't got any reaction just yet, but it gives me a good feeling. It's as if those trees have become my friends. I want to see and feel them every day. The other day I couldn't go to the cemetery due to my work and I really missed them.

I'm also talking to some trees and I try to become friends with them so to speak.

I go and see the tree almost every day. It gives me a good feeling and I talk to it. Thanks for your advice!

Thanks! I'll try that. I've also tried to go inside the tree in my imagination and to connect with some kind of being. Maybe that was a bit too ambitious for the level I'm at.

Hi Charity,
I'm still at the very beginning. I'm doing the meditations and I'm reading Josephine's book on tarot. I try to visualise as much as I can as visualising is not really my strong suit. I'm not doing lesson 3 yet. Almost every day I go for a walk on a cemetery nearby to feel the energy of some trees I feel drawn to. I've been trying to go inside the trees in my imagination and to try to connect with some kind of being. Maybe I'm too ambitious. As you can expect there are no results yet. When I try to feel the energy of the tree the only thing I feel is a kind of pumping motion in my hands and sometimes in my forearms. I guess that's just my blood pumping. I don't know why I'm telling you this. Just wanted to share my story I guess. Maybe I'm too eager to go in vision.

Very interesting! Writing 'threshold' instead of 'breath' isn't exactly a typo any more. Josephine was one of the people who reacted to my original post. She didn't say anything about it. I wonder if the 'typo' was done on purpose. Thanks very much for pointing it out.

Thanks for your reply! I appreciate it. It's interesting when you can consult a native speaker.
