    Focus Meditation 14: Breath #DoMagick

    February 14, 2019 / No Comments

    Meditation Title: Bellows Breath Technique: Yes – MORE Pranayama! I know. I’m on a roll this week with the breathing meditations. Just one more though… This one is called Bellows Breath. It’s very similar to breath of fire, except you exhale through your nose! You also don’t do it as quickly. This is an energizing pranayama exercise. Sit tall, breathe…

    Focus Meditation 13: Breath #DoMagick

    February 13, 2019 / No Comments

    Meditation Title: Breath of Fire Technique: This is a cleansing pranyama practice. Before we start, just know that if you’re pregnant or have high blood pressure, you might want to skip this one and try a more gentle breathing exercise. This one will make you feel light headed if you don’t practice it regularly, and we don’t want anyone passing…

    Focus Meditation 12: Breath #DoMagick

    February 12, 2019 / No Comments

    Meditation Title: Lion’s Breath Technique: Pranayama is a practice of how one breathes. It’s part of a formal yoga practice for a lot of yogis. Different breathing techniques can actually do everything from promote relaxation to energy. Usually, this is done sitting on your heels. If this is too difficult for you, try it sitting cross-legged, or on all fours.…

    Focus Meditation 11: Tarot #DoMagick

    February 11, 2019 / No Comments

    Meditation Title: Tarot Meditation (or any oracle deck) Technique: You can use a tarot, Lenormand, or any oracle deck for this. There are two methods for doing this meditation. One is for learning tarot or a new oracle, the other is for divination. I’ll describe both. TO LEARN A NEW DECK: Sit in silence for about two minutes, focusing on…

    Focus Meditation 6: Chakra #DoMagick

    February 6, 2019 / No Comments

    Meditation Title: Chakra Balancing Technique: A lot of these meditations (and you can find a huge variety of chakra balancing/activation/cleansing recordings all over the web for free) tend to use auditory tones/vibrations to stir each of the body’s energy points, clear any blockages, and balance them out. The idea is that chakras can be activated, cleared, and balanced by various…

    Focus Meditation 5: Reflect #DoMagick

    February 5, 2019 / No Comments

    Meditation Title: Quiet Reflection Technique: Think of the quiet reflection time as a meditation where you silence all the “noise” around you, sit in the silence, enjoy the peace and quiet, and listen to your inner self. Notice how very rarely is ANY meditation about “nothing”. Meditation is more about being in the moment. Being very aware of being in…

    Focus Meditation 4: Walking #DoMagick

    February 4, 2019 / No Comments

    Meditation Title: Walking Meditation Technique: Today’s meditation is another moving meditation technique. Unlike just going out for a walk, walking meditation is more mindful, more focused. Have you ever heard anyone use the word “meander”? That better describes the pace of a walking meditation. So when you do it, choose a short distance (like once around the block for you…

    Focus Meditation 3: Yoga #DoMagick

    February 3, 2019 / No Comments

    Meditation Title: Yoga – Mindfulness Technique: Yoga – Meditation – they’re different things, right? Yes and no. Think of yoga as one of many forms of MOVING meditation (like walking or tai chi) whereas when most people think of meditation they think of stationary meditation. During moving meditation, you can still have the same acute focus as you do when…

    Focus Meditation 2: Color #DoMagick

    February 2, 2019 / No Comments

    Meditation Title: Coloring. Technique: This is a very simple meditation. Pull out the colored pencils, print out a mandala, and color. Focus on the color, the lines, the flow, the repeated patterns. Focus on NOTHING else except the act of coloring for 10-30 minutes. If you are a beginner, start small and work your way to doing focus meditations like…

    Focus Meditation 1: Listen #DoMagick

    February 1, 2019 / 1 Comment

    Meditation Title: Chanting/Drumming/Hymns Technique: Put on a CD or Streaming Chanting/Drumming/Hymn track and just sit quietly (be still), listening. Do this 10-30 minutes. For those of you who are new to meditation, start at 10 minutes and work your way up. This is an exercise in LISTENING and sitting quietly doing nothing BUT listening. My Meditation : I enjoy tribal…
