At Bedtime, Brew a strong cup of senna and chamomile tea. Drink it down. It should work the next morning. Move on to the next step after you have emptied your bowls (go to the bathroom)
Bathe:
On an empty stomach, fill the bathroom with white candles. Run a hot bath and add rosemary to the water or rosemary water to the water. Pine Bath products may substitute. Add Salt to the water as well. Enough for buoyancy. Take a long luxurious bath in water that is hot enough to steam your pores open. Meditate on purification. Shave, wash your hair, rinse off in ice cold water. Dress in white clothes. You are purified.
How to Become Calm and Centered
Make your magick more effective by building emotional and psychic intensity and focusing clearly on your goal.
You will need a very smooth stone, smaller then your fist, and some soothing music.
Cast the circle fully and call the quarters. Take this spell seriously and it will open the door in the effectiveness of your future studies. Sit while holding the stone and listening to the music, in a quiet room at home, or in the outdoors if the weather is nice. Breath deeply and rhythmically. Begin inhaling through your mouth and exhaling through your nose with a low steady humming note. With each exhalation, male the note smooth and draw it out longer. Breath your tension and anxiety in the stone. When you feel calm and centered put the stone on the ground, open the circle, and walk away. The stone will dissipate the tension into the earth to be transmuted; If you wish to retrieve the stone in a day or 2 for later use.
