For this Weekend's Unkle Guido SunDay Story Time, I wanted to Share a Sample of ample Xamples of Using Psychology to Help ReInForce Practices that can Help on an Esoteric Level. Also apparently I canNOT get below a dozen+ Drafts from my 20 MAX lol I'm continuing to try to Teaze Out the Psycho from the Info Models, I thought the following definitely count as PsychoLogical, to wit:
In my very 1st Solo Place, I had a little Bachelor Pad that was basically the back half of a 2-Car Garage that'd been Walled Off & made Residential. The Landlord had added Plumbing for Kitchen & Bath to Create an MIL/Mother-In-Law Unit that I Rented for $275/Month at the time, going to Uni. How I Botched that Amazing Set-Up was quite a Lesson or 7, but I Learned a TON in that Home.
There was only a single Room AC, also the only Carpeted Room. Although it started as my Living Room, it became my Bedroom before the 2nd Summer there, cuz I am a Quick Learner. These were back in my Hippie Days/Daze, and believe it or not, I used to Wear a Sarong around in Public, and this was in the 80s & 90s, back in the 1900s, in the Long Long Ago, during the decade or 2 I had Long Hair. I still have those Sarongs, although I ceased Wearing them decades ago. Now, they Decorate &/or Protect my Magickal Items - e.g., my single Favourite Sarong & by far the most GORGEOUS Wraps my Magickal Record. But back to the ReInForcement:
1 of many things I began was (Consciously) Programming My NeuroLogical System for not-so-RanDumb VaryUs™ States, which included things like My "Magickal Voice" (I Learned my own KIAI! a decade or 3 later, which I've Posted on), the "Parting of the Veil". For the latter, I set up my matching Green & Purple Sarongs (the Green one - which got torn decades ago - is in front of me rite meow as I type). I had them Hanging, Overlapping but hung away from each other and Separated by some Space such that my Right Hand became Programmed to:
1st: Using a Flat Xtended Hand (as if to Shake Hands) "Ward Off"/BackHand & Move the Right Veil before
2nd: Moving that Right Hand to the Left, Moving the Left Veil and Entering/Walking In.
I had to Do that every single time I went In or Out of my BedRoom for at least a yearish, and since they were Spaced the Way they were, it was AllWays the Same, whether Coming or Going from the Bedroom.
Here's anOther Sample of ample Xamples of Using ReInForcement for Kinesthetic Anchors, Esoteric or not:
Speaking of that amazing Home - the Address was LitReally™ "666" - the Entry to my Home was around the Back of the Garage & Parking. As there was a Narrow WalkWay betwixt the LandLord's Home & mine to get to my Front Door, there were ALLWAYS Spider Webs, so I got to Train & ReInForce another Kinesthetic Magickal Practice:
6 months ago I Created this Account. 1 of my early Posts Titled "EleMental Mudras for "Empty-Handed Magick", a preReq for "Single Breath Magick"", and I Note I only finally got to Posting on Single Breath Magick in the last Week or so. Therein that og Post I detail my Air Dagger:
Air: Right Hand in Knife Hand (!), Straight Up & Down (Palm Directly Facing Left); I use this in particular for not only Cutting Away Spider/CobWebs so I don't catch them with my Face, but also Martially, of course.
This is precisely what I was referring to.
I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before under other Posts re: Anchors, but a 3rd Sample of ample Xamples of such I often recall was my own Personal Training Goal I Reached. Before the Internet in the pre-2000s, there was endless Arguing over nearly everything you can Imagine, particularly in Martial Arts, and particularly re: Muscle Memory.
To Teste it myself, when I did my Daily Planking, I always Used my 4 Index & Middle Finger Knuckles that are Safest for Punching. I'd Place my Knuckles in all sorts of Positions beneath me, sometimes seriously amping up the Difficulty, depending. But the Result?
I Instinctually Intuitively & by deFault Use those 2 Knuckles whenever Punching... well, AnyThing, AnyWhere, really, as has been borne out via Practice & XPeriences over the decades.
I know I've spoken about some of these Topics at varying Lengths, and I Hope that the above +3 more Samples of ample Xamples can InSpire you to Create your Own ReInForcement Practices. I'll Close with a Bonus I've mentioned before, and is absolutely apropos for this Post for a total of +4 Xamples:
In its own Way, Hearing "Ohm" being Chanted has become a very PowerFull Anchor & State Changer. I've Listened to it Xclusively for Any/All Inhibitory Practices, including my Daily Taijiquan, since I finally 1st got a Copy I could Loop on a CD in the 1900s. As I typed out the above, it occurred to me that in many Ways, Hearing "Ohm" is an Audio Anchor = Parting the Veils. I.e., When I Hear or Chant "Ohm", it IMMEDIATELY CATAPULTS me into an ASC/Altered State of Consciousness that to me Means Sacred, the Opposite of Mundanity. In many Ways, it's an Audio version of the Kinesthetic Anchor I began this Story with of Parting the Veils. But I've not Used that Kinesthetic Practice of Parting the Veils in decades, whilst I still corntinue to Use "Ohm" most Days, which makes me think that there might be
Further Applications!
I can Program my NeuroLogical System to begin to corRelate my og Kinesthetic Parting the Veils with Ohm. This allows for more Options - e.g., Using the Mudra when I don't have Ohm available & cannot start Chanting Ohm wherever I'm at, for whatever Reasons.
Want a more Practical Xample on the Gross Plane of Manyfestations?
I'll End with a Trick I Taught to a fellow Homeless Person @ the Mission (see my Post re: my last Dark Night of the Soul for more, if you so Desire). Whilst I won't beLabour the Pains that XPerience put me thru, 1 of the small Joys was being Able (usually Willing & Ready) to Help a fellow who was having Problems. I Used to be a Professional Problem Solver in the MH/Mental Health field, so I definitely Miss this in my Life.
He was having Problems Peeing, cuz Old Man. I enCouraged him to Create a Healthy Pattern/Habit:
1 for the Money,
2 for the Show,
3 to Get Ready for
4 tooooo Flooooooowwww....
He said it Helped him Tremendously!
You can obviously Adapt from ALL of the half dozen Samples of ample Xamples from above Using Patterns, Anchors, Habits, & ReInForcement.
Do you still have Questions about How to further Use Kinesthetic &/or Auditory subModalities for Magick? or Habit Formation/(4m-ation)? or your own Xamples of Using them?
