here are my questions!! I had to take a little bit because i had lost my inital list of questions, but they may seem a tad silly, forgive me if so (^.^)
☆ What is your process and purpose of finding a witch?
☆ What is a grief seed like to you? I see them mentioned in puella magi post, but no description of them.
☆ What is it like to clense your soulgem? Would it be in somewhat similar practice to one clensing their tarot deck/magical weapon of bad energy?
☆ What is the difference between fighting in the astral and fighting physically? I havent seemed to find any post that actually explains what fighting physically looks like for magic users
☆ (This question might sound a little more insensitive, it is not intended at all!! just trying to understand!!!) how can battles in labyrinths & with witches be differentiated from having intense daydreams? What makes them feel more real vs the daydream scenario?
☆ What is the feeling difference of going to the astral realm vs going to your innerworld as a system/collective?
we cant seem to reach a consistent difference of feeling when accessing the innerworld, when trying to access the astral realm. When purposely attempting, we find ourself visualizing the innerworld in more hyper detail and feeling than we did prior. Muddled feelings of headmates could now be seen, heard, or even felt if they interacted with "you" in their perspective.
☆ Do you listen to subliminals to induce states to go to the astral realm? If so, do you have reccomended ones?
☆ What other things do beings do in the astral? Like, what are some common intentions and goals people seek when heading there?
sorry if thats confusing... its confusing for us too, and we were curious on your insight since you have mentioned going to the astral was as easy as mid-dissociation, and for others seem completely different. So i was curious about your thoughts and experiences!
We feel like we have experiences in the astral, but we also struggle in how to actually Confirm the experience.
Thanks for indulging in my rambling! 天使たちの恵みが今夜あなたを平和に導いてくださいますように コタくん!
BEFORE I START !! magi community dont fight me
i know how u bitchez are sometimez this is MY experience!!! i am also new!!! do not take this as gospel truth!!! these are just MY EXPERIENCEZ AND OPINIONZ
oh ya i also have aphantasia so that makez me experiencez with projecting weird. ok anywayz :3
i find witchez by either scouting the physical or astral realm, and i do it to keep them from causing real harm! the first one i fought was apparently the result of an oddly extreme string of pet deathz in an animal hospital near my home, and after i defeated the witch, i didnt hear about any more deathz there when i went back and talked with the staff again!
a grief seed is a specific energy, sometimez manifesting as a physical object, sometimez simply as a pure energy
yes, very similar! for me, i focused the energy of the grief seed, conducted it through me, and it felt as if it was almost vacuuming out my soul gem through me
hm, i personally dont know much about fighting in the physical realm, i assume that would be through reality shifting (not something i am as knowledgeable on) or thingz like charmz and physical ritualz
for me, i see real world consequencez of the fightz afterwardz! like i was saying about the animal hospital, i was lucky enough to have a stepmom with a connection to them, so i could find out detailz, but the odd deathz stopped happening after i defeated the witch!
i personally do not have an innerworld. i typically have very vague visual imagination (aphantasia), i have to focus incredibly hard to even visualize anything, let alone astral project (it takez me multiple hourz to get it to work) our innerworld is more of just a bunch of constant internal monologuez rather than any visual stimuli
i do not, but i do listen to binaural beatz! looking up pure theta wavez is normally what i do. anything thatz just the humming with no music. i turn it up wayy too loud but itz the only way i can drown out the previously mentioned internal monologuez
u can do just about ANYTHING in the astral realm, thatz the beauty of it! i like to project before bed sometimez just to get out of my body.
the biggest difference ive noticed between projecting and daydreaming is that when projecting, our sensez almost feel enhanced. this may be due to our mild aphantasia tho
another difference ive seen is more of an out of body feeling, one exercise i like to do to get me to project faster is try and see how i look in the moment as i lay there, the way i breathe, then move to the room around me. the detailz dont need to be perfect, they often wont be, but ur brain will get the important stuff down!
hope this helped! bear in mind i am not a super experienced magi yet,, ive only fought the one witch,, and i was very lucky to know about the fact that it made a real world change this early on. for most, the changez are a lot more subtle or unknown, but they are real!
