練習：進入幻視狀態(Entering the Visionary State)
翻譯自The Witches' Book of the Dead p.65-68
翻譯者:光中百夜
第一步
找一張舒適的椅子，在那裏你可以放鬆，並與你周圍的精神力量聯繫在一起
第二步
當你舒服地坐着的時候，閉上眼睛，專注於你的呼吸
讓你的呼吸變得緩慢、深邃
在你的腦海中，把你的呼吸看作是一種生命的力量，吸入靈界的力量，並呼出你自己的思想和夢想，這樣靈體就能體驗到它們
意識到你呼出的空氣對死者來說是一種養分，因為他們通過你的呼吸吸收你的精華
每次吸氣時，死者都與你的生命力量保持一致
第三步
在幻視狀態(的過程中，你應該保持這樣的呼吸
注意發生的變化:你的呼吸可能變得很淺，四肢可能變得麻木或刺痛，心率可能會下降
相信這一過程，它就像掉進了一個深深的、夢幻般的睡眠中，但你仍能覺察到這一點
讓你的靈魂從肉體和骨骼的沉重中釋放出來
深呼吸，慢，重，深，進入地下世界的深處
爲了界定這個狀態，你可以從10數到1
當你數到1，在你的腦海中說
“我現在處於幻視狀態
我和靈體同在
當我流過它們時，它們流過我的全身”
暢遊在黑暗的死亡之水當中，感受那些水流正在你血液裡流淌
你現在能在身體與靈魂的深處與這些靈體溝通，能夠分享他們的紀憶和經歷
當你準備回來的時候，從一數到十，然後睜開你的眼睛
重要的是，無論什麼時候你都要數數，這樣你就不會有突然被喚醒的感覺
每天或盡可能地做這個練習，只要你願意，你就有了到達靈域(spirit realms)的鑰匙

Exercise: Entering the Visionary State
Step One
Find a comfortable chair where you can relax and connect to the spiritual forces around you.
Step Two
When you are comfortably seated, close your eyes and focus on your breathing. Allow your breath to become slow, deep, and deliberate. In your mind's eye, see your breath as a living force of energy, inhaling the powers of the spirit world and exhaling
your own thoughts and dreams so that the spirits may experience them. Realize that the air you exhale becomes sustenance to the dead as they absorb your essence through your breath. With each inhale, the dead align with your life force. Your breath should continue this way over the course of the visionary state.
Step Three
Feel the flesh of your body tingle as the Death Current begins to flow through you. Notice the changes that take place: your breathing may become shallow, your limbs may become numb or tingly, and your heart rate may drop. Trust the process—it is like falling into a deep, dreamlike sleep, yet one in which you are still aware. Let your spirit release itself from the heaviness of flesh and bone. Breath after breath, slower, heavier, and deeper, descend into the depths of the underworld. To define the state, you will now count to yourself from ten to one. When you reach one, say in your mind, “I am now in a visionary state. I am at one with the spirits. They flow through me as I flow through them.”
Swim in the dark waters of the Death Current, feeling those currents within your very blood. You are now able to communicate with the spirits at the core of your body and soul, able to share in their memories and experiences. When you are ready to come back, count from one to ten and open your eyes. It is important to count back up whenever you can so that you do not have the feeling of suddenly being jarred awake. Do this exercise daily or whenever possible and you will have the key to reaching the spirit realms whenever you desire.
