I figure, since I am little bored at the moment, that I would start a thread for various gazing techniques.
The first one I'll post I find interesting and, for myself, works better than a mirror. I use this to view spirits within a room. It is pretty simple.
1- Have a TV facing into the room, preferably in the corner.
2- Haze your eyes slightly, or 'soft-focus', and look into the reflection of the room on the screen.
3- This can take a little practice.. The reflection within the TV is 3-dimensional, meaning the reflection appears to go into the TV, having depth. What you want to do (atleast what I do) is convert the 3D image into a 2D image, so there is no depth. This will appear like the reflection is on the surface of the glass only, removing any depth. The depth will draw forward to the surface.
4- Observe the spirits! Often upon being seen, they will 'dart' away quicky, before they completely materialize into a recognizable form... it can be spooky.
In my experience they can appear like 'static' or a warbleing form, and can move in quick 'jolts', like a series of fast movements, with very quick stops in between.
I will post more techniques in a bit. Let me know of any success!

You sound as though you are scrying as some do with a crystal ball and a bowl of water.. Anything with a shiny surface really... Well Done!!!! I am absolutely hopeless at scrying LOL!!! Some say with photographs are the best especially for seeing auras and spirit... I am yet to spirit unless it is blatent in a photo... Keep practicing Animal I belive you will be rather good at it   |

Why in the corner?? OK what exactly do you do with your eyes? I tried it, but I don't think it's working..There is still depth, or it just becomes blurry.

No worries Lena, 'practice' makes perfect! It is best to gaze into the screen, without trying, I mean to just relax without expectation.. It helps to do 'energy raising', or 'trancing out', or 'zoning out'. Look into the screen for awhile, and be patient. Eventually your mind will slow, or stop even, and you will recieve a 'vision'. Try just looking on the surface of the glass, and not into the depth of the picture you see.. The purpose of the TV being in the corner is so you can see into entire room, so as to view the spirit(s) present, but that is not all this technique can show, as DancingBear said, scrying can be used to look any'where', as long as you have set your intentions before hand, and if you have not set them, then you are open to see anything! Oh now now, you are not hopeless I am sure! That is not how I see you! no no no.. |

Yes, I have read alot about this, and the reason they show up is because spirits are in a different "frequency" then us. And tvs pick of frequencys for different channels, that is why they show up. Usually I look into the tv though, and I don't like it, because there are always a bunch of shadows in the tv that look like human forms. Thanks for posting this.  |

Shadow Gazing
Also a type of 'not-doing' as don Juan Matus so put it.
This type of gazing can open us up to new preceptions, and ways of seeing reality. It is very helpful in stopping our minds dialouge, enabling new worlds to be formed, and to create visions. We can set intent before hand or simply allow the process to carry us. Shadow gazing brings into focus the World of Shadows, that animals are already aware of. A totally seperate awareness of reality. Many interesting things lie in the shadows.
Normally we only view the world in colours, shapes and objects, and this gazing technique enables to 'reverse' our perceptions, and open new doors.
1-Simply focus on various shadows, the shadows of all objects, the shadows on the underside leaves, etc. Do not try to eliminate the light and objects, but instead simply allowing them to add depth to your perception, as the shodows normally would..reversing perception.
2-Close your eyes for a moment and re-open your eyes, that is if you are not 'lost' in vision, have your mind stopped, etc. This will help your eyes to see the shadows.
3- Whenever you have trouble sustaining the new perception close and re-open, begin to peer into the shadows. If you see a particular shadow that interests you examine it. Look at the shadows of animals, trees, people, etc, and don't be afraid to walk as you do this. Note the energy of the shadows and the beings that live there, leave behind rationality, and pre-formed ideas.

Stopping the mind
This type of gazing is done to 'stop the mind', so we can manifest new worlds into perception. It is done by gazing into the horizon, slightly softfocusing your eyes, often while walking, but instead of gazing at an object you want to gaze at the entire picture in front of you. Start by gazing infront of you, and slowly bring into perception what is in your entire peripheral vision, maybe start with just a few things at once. This will overload your minds ability to process the information being shown, and will eventually stop your mind. This type of gazing can show many other things as well, such as precieving the world as pure energy. You may see 'strings', laylines, auras etc, and many things beyond understanding.
Distance gazing
Distance gazing is done in very much the same way as other forms of gazing, only with different intent. The goal is to focus soley on one object, in the distance, clearing your mind of all thoughts. Two possible outcomes from this are; 1- attaining great detail from the object, noticing things you would have never noticed before, or 2- if successful you will travel to the object, or actually, both 1 and 2. It may apear as if the object is coming towards you, as opposed to you going toward it. This type of gazing can be practiced in dreams, and actually the more you practice this gazing technique, the more often you will find it occurring naturally in the spur of the moment, in dreams, or in the 'awake' dream. I recommend the practice of this gazing for a lengthy time period, and not to give up after a few moments, the insight recieved is quite worth it. At times of gazing, it can give our mind time to process lessons, and register knowledge we have gained, that simply has not been realised. You may find that as soon as you stop trying, your mind wanders, and when you refocus, that you have succeeded. This type of gazing may be seen as a type of OBE, where your energy body travels towards the object, or possibly just as one aspect of our energy bodies senses.
Rock/plant gazing.
This type of gazing is also similair to rock/plant gazing, with the intent of gaining the hidden knowledge found within different types of rocks/plants. This gazing often carries over into dreams aswell, and when answers are seemingly not found they will be carried into dreaming. Sometimes answers that are found are stored within the 'subconscious' mind, and can be later 'let loose' in dreams, in the same manner you can project 'thoughts' to someone to later have them manifest within their dreams. It has been suggested that one first starts with plant gazing, then moving on to rocks.

Also kind of interesting is that sorcerors such as don Juan Matus, Carlos Castaneda, etc etc etc, have used these gazing techniques to gaze at objects, and recieve information about the owners, places they've been etc. They could go to a museum and gaze at the object's energetic configuration, and recieve information regarding the true history of the items.
Would be kind of cool to walk along some naive tourguide giving the 'history' of this and that, and to really see the true story.
Also I have heard it possible to leave information in the energetic configurations of items, for other sorcerors to 'read'.

Sounds very much like the gnostic training of living in the now. Very close indeed. Live in the present and i tell you what when i first started paying attention i had no idee how much day dreaming and bs actually took place until i paid attention to it. And sooo much is missed. Glad VERY glad because it helps with dreams alot also.

Some additional gazing info.
Cloud gazing, tree gazing, etc etc etc, all contain unknown entities and powers, along with many signs, or omens, that can be seen. There are stories hidden within all that is, stories that contain knowledge in many forms, and other complete worlds to enter into.
I find a good place to start is by picking scenery out of whatever you are gazing at. Much like forming pictures out of clouds. Then take the picture and add depth to it. Take the different shades, within whatever you are gazing at, and allign your eyes to only that shade within the picture, untill the whole picture is highlighted in this fashion. Then you can add depth to it, pull it out, or add in other shades. As you do this you may find yourself entering into the picture, leaving yourself behind, you may start to see behind the images, or see symbols. Also you can start to shape what you see.. When your eyes are seeing in this way, you will begin to see the entities that live among the clouds, trees, grasses, or the space around you. You can take this chance to get to know them.. if you like.
After practicing gazing, you will start to see the pictures, entities, etc, much more naturally.

Not hopeless after all I can do this, gaze at an object and give you its history especially if i touch it (does that count ) I have heard the Ancient Egyptian used Clear Quartz Crystals to store messages. An old tale is when you find a piece of quartz do not race out and cleanse it!! Keep it for at least a couple of months and scry with it!! You may be surprised what you may find. DB xxxx |

That is so cool Dancing Bear! This is kind of what I mean, or exactly what I mean, when we can store information into items, and pictures, for others to see, and we can know that they are seeing it, even if it is on a subconsious level. Though I see the subconscious level of awareness as a part of the nagual, and that we can in a way 'force' others to see this, even if it shifts back to subconscious afterwards, appearing that it was always subconscious. Kind of like subliminal messaging that our 'body' sees, and is aware of, yet our tonal mind, is not, unless we can see the bridge that connects them, and claim the knowledge, making, and keeping the newly found knowledge part of the newly constructed dream, or newly constructed tonal.
I see it what you are referring to is the knowledge that people leave energetic imprints on every item they touch, yet, I also see that as a choice we make, and with awareness of this, we can then choose not to leave our imprints on items as well.

I see that when gazing we can open doorways into other words, to allow allies, or foriegn entities to pass through into our world. I find the best time is during the early morning, or at twilight.
I like to sit under a tree and observe the patterns, symbols, stories, being formed in the shadows, on the underside of leaves, or in the clouds. Making the scene 'come to life' and move, starting with the wind. After haveing an image take form, you can then gaze further allowing the image to take on colours. I find it is handy to allow the images you have created to blur away, exept the one section you are viewing, in other words, place all of your attention on one aspect of your sight. Your image will take on whatever form that manifests, and will not be created by your mind, but simply will be formed into whatever forms. Ofcourse your mind plays a role on the shape of what is being formed, but is merely an interpretation of what you are seeing, and may change as you are viewing it. It could be an animal, person, etc. Once the image is formed you are enabling an ally to enter into the shape, and enabling it a vessal in which to travel into this world. In a way you have 'drawn' an empty body for an this ally, in which it can now fill with its essence. An ally, once established, can be summoned at any time, and can help you in... whatever you wish to be aided in.

I always feel that most of what i find is an actual fit into myth. Like the tree spirits are wood nymphs, fairys or whatnot. The hills and mountains are giants of some sort. And the water is a mer person. I know all these fit into a myth category but how did they ever get made up in the first place? I know myth has some truth but i never pictured the creatures being a real posibility just the lore behind the myth? Is there any non-fiction behind the creatures? I have fealt that dwarves existed and that giants did exist. In fact they are even in the bible. But for the rest i thought it was just some wishful day dream.

I have been doing some sun gazing lately and one does get images to form from doing that. Like just this week after gazing at the sun for a few minutes and looking away or closing your eyes I saw a shape that appeared as an angel and another time just and outline drawing in the shape of the typical Christ. I always see all the colors of the rainbow. These shapes mostly appear in one of these colors. I don't really see what the purpose is though. It kind of reminds me of those people who go around and see the Virgin Mary of Christ in their pancakes or something of like such.  Osiris, going by that Cayce book I have all those mythical creature where create in Atlantis and do have some truth behind them. They were 4D creatures, not physical. I take it that they were some of their earlier experiments in trying to create the physical vehicles/bodies in which to dwell in the physical. Anyway, that was my understanding of what was being said in that book. Maybe that is why we see such things in our astral life, for that is were they dwell. |
