Meditation Spells
Meditation is an ancient spiritual practice through which a person attempts to achieve a more contemplative yet aware state of consciousness. In this state, thoughts and energy flow freely, unimpeded by mundane issues and conscious mental blocks. This is the ideal state for casting any kind of spells, and once a certain level of precision is achieved, it is the only thing needed for spell casting.

Misconceptions
-
Many people believe that what they need to cast a spell are instructions with the right words, or the right combination of tools and ingredients. They believe that if they follow these instructions like a recipe that magic will be the result. This couldn't be farther from the truth. Tools and words are just things that help promote focus. Disciplining the mind through meditation is what makes magic possible. Once a person grows adept at meditation, the tools and words become unnecessary.
Function
-
Meditation spells, for one who is skilled in the art of meditation, serves to replace all of the tools and chants that are frequently associated with witches and folk magicians. There is no longer a need for elaborate rituals or the tools and chants that serve to trigger the mind and keep it focused. Meditation spells are a pure, spiritual method of spell casting in which the caster is able to alter his state of consciousness, go into a trance, visualize the desire, raise and direct energy with the powers of the mind alone.

Features
-
In a properly conducted meditation spell, the spell caster relaxes her body and alters her mind to go into a deep alpha state of consciousness, at which brain waves cycle at 8 to 13 per second. In the beta (fully awake) state of consciousness, there are mental blocks and distractions that might impede the flow of energy. The alpha is a state of relaxed awareness that puts the mind in a receptive state, breaking down those mental blocks, so that it can channel energy properly.
Types
-
One style of meditation spell is creative visualization. In this type, the spell caster in essence fantasizes about the thing he wants to come to pass. Energy raised during the visualization is directed towards the desire. Another type is chakra meditation. Chakras are the seven spiritual centers of the body, each ruling over different physical, mental and spiritual aspects. The appropriate chakras are opened as channels for the energy. Other types include astral project, where the soul leaves the body to accomplish the mission, or communication with spirits or deities.
Considerations
-
Meditation spells require considerable skill in the art of meditation. While all spell-casting methods should include some element of meditation, the pure meditation spell is for those who have progressed beyond the need for mind triggers and external focus items in order to concentrate on the desired outcome. This is not an ability for only a select few born with a special power, but a learned skill that requires consistent practice of meditative arts for many years.
