| This ritual is best performed on a Monday (day of the Moon and the� subconscious) or Saturday (day of Saturn and understanding karma). Be� sure that you plan your ritual so that you will have quiet and privacy,� unplugging the phone and taking care of any other possible� interruptions. Do not eat much this day - fruits and raw vegetables,� light on the coffee or other stimulants. Have a journal and pen ready� to record information and impressions. Your tools for tonight's work� are 2 purple candles, a mirror and Past Life incense and oil. Set up an� altar that is large enough that you can sit at it in a chair and large� enough to set your candles, the mirror on a stand, an incense burner� and your journal. Cast your circle in your usual manner. Anoint the� purple candles with Past Life oil from the bottom of the candle to the� wick*. Light the candles and then your incense charcoal* from one of� the candle flames. Place a little Past Life incense on the charcoal and� settle back in your chair quietly. Begin breathing slowly and deeply.� With each exhalation, feel all stress and nervousness flow out of your� body. With each inhalation, feel your body become heavier and more� relaxed. Breathe in this manner until your legs feel very heavy, almost� physically connected to the earth and to your chair and you feel� mentally relaxed and focused. Begin by gazing at your face in the� mirror. Let your eyes unfocus slightly, placing their gaze in the� center of your face in the mirror but not concentrating on any one� facial feature. After a very short while (so long as you stay mentally� and physically relaxed) you will find that the face in the mirror� begins to morph, to change sometimes just slightly, sometimes� dramatically. You may notice the hair around the face is different as� well or has a hat, garland or crown on it. You may also notice that the� new face in the mirror is a different gender, culture or age than you� are currently. As you see your face changing do not allow yourself to� shock your consciousness back to a normal state by being surprised.� Just go with the changes and ask yourself, either silently or out loud,� "what is the name?" Continue asking questions regarding place, time,� relatives, the karmic lesson to be learned from this life, etc. You may� find that during one session your face may change several times or it� may stay with just the first change. If you have several changes, ask� the questions to get information about the identity, place and time of� each face. When the face in the mirror changes back to the one you have� in this life or you become tired, begin writing down all of your� impressions and the answers to your questions. When you are finished,� put out your candles and use them later only for this same ritual. You� will need to either go immediately to bed or ground yourself thoroughly� by eating a meal. You may find that in the dreams you have in the next� few nights that you get more information or that as you are occupied in� your day-to-day life, you suddenly get another piece of information.� Add this to your journal and note where you were and what you were� doing when the information came. |
