Hey, sorry it has taken me so long .. but, you know, life gets busy. Actually, this will be better for you, since nighttime is best, dusk is an awesome time because moon is new in the night sky.
I've never taught this before, and there's so much to know. Massive amounts of information and it took me awhile to figure out the basics.
So, most of today is learning exactly what Scrying is and how it works. We'll do some, for practice, but only for a short while. Writing the steps out took a while, and so will reading it, but, once you get it down .. it's like a minute to get ready.
Now, like I said, there is much more and don't expect anything to happen today because there is physical preparations to do with your body as well (food, cleansing, exercise) and I haven't addressed any of this today.
I have pages and pages already typed up and I'll post them when your ready. It will take awhile to read. So, let me know when your ready for me to send all the info.

Ok, well, mostly it's just information about how it works, so you can get a feel for the process. There are a couple things you'll see when reading this, that you must be able to do before you ever really start. One, you have to be aware of your "Higher Genius", and two, you have to be able to open and close your third eye.
Here goes, it's long and after I post it, I'm going to run to the store. Will be back soon, though.

The word Scry literally translate to, "To See" .. and scrying is the act of percieving events that lie beyond the range of the physical senses by using the agents of the unconscious mind.
First, it's important to understand that what you pick up, whether it's a vision, a sound, smell, etc., is NOT done with your physical senses .. in other words, it is only within the mind that you will see these images, but, through your actual eyes the information will be conveyed to your conscious awareness. So, this has to be remembered because the brain will pick up on data and it knows it has to transfer the information so that you understand and it will do so by putting an impression within one of your 5 senses: sight, sound, taste, smell or touch .. but, sometimes it doesn't know how to translate the information since the astral plane has no phyiscal senses. Sometimes, it will send a feeling, like you might get nervous, or start laughing, or crying for no reason and this will be because the brain is struggling to communicate to you information because it doesn't know how to send to one of your senses.

Second, scrying is like a sleeping dream in the sense that the astral mind has no logical boundaries. It hasn't been programmed to only accept what our intellilect tells it is acceptable. So, to scry without direction will send random images that usually make no sense, like a dream. Therefore, it's completely different from meditiating where one just blanks the mind. If you blank your mind, and remove all thoughts .. you'll pick up whatever the deep mind wants to. So, it has to be told what you want to know. You have to fix in your conscious awareness BEFORE you start, the specific area of information you are interested in recieving, this instructs the deep mind to send data in a very narrow range. Still, even with doing this .. there is no absolute control .. the unconscious mind is not limited, so it will send an impression, whatever it picks up.
So, now, as we continue .. have something lingering in the back of your mind that will be the direction you want the deep mind to focus. You don't have to make a verbal request, just have in your mind, what you are looking for as we continue. For example: maybe you might think about a lost friend, or perhaps a historical event, maybe you want to stop yourself of something like smoking. Just keep this thought in the back of your mind, for once you submerge yourself into your psyche, your deep receptive mind will pull this thought forward.

There is much, much more .. but, that is the basic of what scrying actually is. Teaching is all new to me and I'm not really sure where to even begin. Since we will be opening the thrid eye, we will also be opening the doorway into our psyche, which leaves us vulnerable to entities. So, most people who scry will invoke their Spirit Guide as guardian. This guide is known as ?The Higher Genuis'. This guide has been with you since birth and will remain until you die, protecting, guiding and also delivers prophetic warnings to you. One of the most famous philosopher, ?Socrates', recieved directions from his Genius in the form of what he called ?signs'.
I call upon my Genius at all times, not just when I was learning to receive messages from the astral plane. I woud recommend that if you aren't aware of him/her, then you should first become aware of this presence .. it's there to protect you.
So, once we get started, we will call upon him (it has no gender) to make his presence felt. I firmly believe that most people are subconsiously aware of their Genius, they just haven't made the connection with thier conscious minds .. your Genius brings you intuitive messages. In the last cycle of incarnate life of the soul, the Genius's presence becomes more intune .. images and impressions are sent to every individual, however, most people aren't aware .. in the last generation, people are clearly aware that there is a presence that presides over them at all times. Intuition, deja-vu's, radar .. all comes from your Genius.
You will see as we progress, that scrying uses 4 elements in it's ritual. These four elements being, none other than earth, fire, air & water.

Today, we will dabble a little with the actual scrying itself. It takes time to perfect and a lot of practice is necessary. So, don't be disappointed if you don't receive anything at first. But, we will do some divination, so you can get the feel of it.
For now, we are doing this during the day. But, this is something you will want to do at night. You don't want any sound, smells, lights, or movement .. also, your second sight is a fluid, and since water is controlled by the moon .. nighttime will produce better results.
1. Place your bowl on your cushion. In the future, try to work on making a platform out of twigs. You actually don't want the bowl to be firmly placed, you want it to be unstable without actually falling.
2. Before we open the third eye .. we must make a channel, a path for flow of information and this is done with fire. Therefore, every scryer has a candle. You must burn a candle .. ONLY ONE CANDLE. For now, any candle will do .. however, a specific candle will eventually have to be assigned.

3. Call upon your Genius. To do this, watch your candle burning .. we are going to do everything through the channel of fire. Envision the air behind you, behind your seat. Spread the flame within your mind to encompass enough room for your Genius. With the flame of the candle, we make our sacred space. Air is very important in this ritual .. we have to have a pocket of air, called, "Sacred Space". So, when scrying, your candle will remain close to you at all times. You will create the sacred space, but, keep it small. You will use this sacred space to ward off all spirits who will try to enter. Make it known within your mind that the only spirit allowed within the space of the flame that you envision is your Genius. This guide is in spirit of the human form, though, not visible and don't try to turn around to see ?it'. Just watch the flame of the candle and feel it's presence. It may be that you are already aware of your Genius, since you are in your last cycle of life. If so, this task will be easy.
While you are scrying, your Genius will manifest, SP, but, don't try to look at it. Don't have mirrors placed or any kind of reflection. If you attempt to look at it, it will vanish from sight.
Just keep looking at the flame of the candle and feel within you, his presence. It's kind of like when you feel someone is staring at the back of your head .. that is exactly what it is. Sometimes, when my Genius is trying to manifest, I can feel a buzzing being sent to my ears. Most people will have a sensual impression, like me .. the sound of rustling robes, heavy breathing, a flowery scent. Don't be afraid of whatever it is you sense ..this is your guardian manifesting behind you, and this exact same impression will be made everytime he comes.

4. Opening the third eye. Visualize an actual third eye in the middle of your forehead, between your brows, only smaller. This eye is known in Kundalini yoga as the "Ajna Chakra" and it is linked to with spiritual vision. This eye that you are envisioning is about the size and shape of a large almond. This eye you are thinking about is closed .. picture it in your mind.
Now, as you slowly open it's right and left lid (your physical eyes), imagine a lighted orb illuminnating .. this is it's astral light. If you have a hard time doing this, then take it in steps. First just open it's right and left lids to slits and try to envision a light flickering inbetween in the third eye. The third eye is light, not vision.
As you do this, if you can't begin to see the lighted orb, you can speak a verbal declaration:
?By my act of will, with the holy fire of my guardian angel I open and illuminate my third eye of second sight.'
You might have to practice, eventually, you will be able to see an lighted orb inbetween your physical eyes. You can't scry without this eye open.

5. Your eye is open, your Genius is standing behind you .. dip your wand into the water and drench it. You want to also drench the outside rim of the bowl. Move the wand in clockwise circular motion. Some water may dribble onto your clothes, or run down the outside of the bowl and that is ok .. second sight is powered by the moon, which controls water flow. Water is the conductor, so water may actually fall anywhere and it will only enhance the experience. Make sure the entire rim of the bowl stays wet .. always make the circular motion around the rim clock-wise.
Ok, the stick is drenched, the rim is thoroughly wet .. what we want to create is a resonating vibration .. so angle the stick downwards (you will have to practice to find the exact angle) and start to rapidly circle the wet rim of the bowl, faster and faster until you can feel the vibration and hearing a sound resonating. We want a bell tone, but, others like zinging, may be present at first until you get the hang of it. Remember your bowl is unstable, so you will have to be careful not to let it drop. It's ok to hold the bowl with your other hand.
Sometimes, it's hard to make a sound, so you can use your finger index finger on your dominate hand . . this must be the dominate hand. If you do this, you MUST be holding earth (the stick) firmly in this dominate hand, however it must be in contact with air, so allow most of it to be exposed. We are trying to meld the elements here.

While you produce the tone, watch the circular ripples of the water and allow this tone to lull your awareness into a recpetive state (don't worry, your Genius is right behind you). It's important that the air be perfectly quiet around you .. the only movement is the circular motion of your wand (or finger) around the bowl's rim. Again, the air needs to be very still because your extra-sensory has to be able to pick up on faint harmonic tones that are vibrating within the bell-tone of your wand.
Peridocially, stop the movement and listen to the harmonics as they fade into silence. We are doing this because we want to practice hearing the secondary tones, not the dominate ones the stick is making. Listen to it fade .. your hand has stopped, but sound still lingers for a split second. We have to train our mind to hear those tones .. these tones are the ones that resonate into the second sight. As you listen to the softer, secondary tones, draw your awareness to the depth of the water .. look beyond the water, through the water and envision a flame. At the bottom of the bowl a fire is ignited.

Eventually, once you become accomplished, this flame will burn inside the entire bowl. The water and air, inside the bowl will ignite, the stick held above the flickering flame .. the impression to one of your senses will then come. But, for now, that won't happen. Just try to see the tiny flicker of flame.
"The Burning Mirror"
Stop, for now .. don't do too much. Once you think you can see the flame, only look for a couple seconds and stop. If you cant' see the flame, don't worry because it takes time to do this. A lot of practice is necessary for most people.

6. Close the third eye. While you have been scrying, you weren't aware that your Genius was touching you. The visions, or sensory impressions are brought to you through him and his hands have been on your shoulders, though, you can't feel when this actually happened because your awareness to sensations outside your mind was muffled.
Envision closing your third eye, very, very slowly .. slowly close the right and left lids with it. If necessary, verbally say: By my act of will, I withdraw the illuniating fire of holy guardian and close my third eye of second sight.
Stay still with all three eyes closed for a bit, until the process is completely done. You will feel a flowing sensation running through your body, up from your limbs, out of your anja chakra .. all this will running towards your shoulders. It is at this time, you'll feel the hands upon you as all the energy run out of you and into his palms. You'll know when it's done, you can actually feel it with your mind. If you want you can verbally make the declaration that you release him from your sacred sphere. Then you'll feel his hands lift off your shoulders and sense his withdrawal away from your chair. These declarations can be made in your head, they don't have to be verbal, but, if your more comfortable saying them out loud, just so you know for sure that your Genius can hear you .. that's fine, but, he can hear in your head.

7. Draw your attention now to your sacred sphere. Extend your mind so that you can surround the sphere and focus on drawing it closed. Pinpoint where your heart is in your chest and pull all the energy of the sphere as it collapses into your chest, into your heart. Once you become practiced at this, you will actually see this sacred energy in the form of a brilliant white light. For now, it won't be visible with your physical eye, but, in time, you can actually see it.
8. Extinguish the candle. You can keep your water for later use. In fact, it's better to use the same water over and over, for it gets energized and enchanted while scrying (fyi: this is one way in which candles, water and other objects get Rieki charged). Be sure to keep it in something natural, like pottery, marble, brass, or glass .. plastic is a chemical, that will damage the holy water.

I think you hit it when you said you just didn't understand what it meant. I have a friend of mine (Taurus) who's Genius tries to contact her, without even trying and unexpectedly. It used to frighten the hell out of her, simply because she didn't understand. Now that she comprehends that it's her Spirit Guide/Guradian Angel/Genius, she doesn't fear it any longer and allows this entity to remain present.
Now she was able to pin-point exactly what circumstances take place for her to create her sacred space and open the door. Where before she couldn't because she wasnt' aware. When she's sitting in a chair, or laying .. always in full sunlight .. a shroud circles around her and she hears the sea. The waves crashing agaisnt the shore is her Genius approaching .. once it's with her, she can start to see visions.
Scrying can be done anywhere, at any time, with any tool, or not. Equipment isn't necessary .. it's all in the mind.
There are many forms .. what we're doing is Water, simply because it's the closest to our psyche .. our second sight is fluid, and is controlled by the moon, the moon controls the fluid (ocean tides, menstruation).

For now, getting comfortable with your Guide is best. S/he is always there with you and has been since you've had a soul. You already know you can feel it .. I feel the buzzing too. Only it's not a sound necessarily, rather a sensation .. a vibration. When you feel this, SP .. that is your Genius. He's there to protect you, watch over you and he is the one that sends messages to you. When you have visions .. they are in your head and your deep mind has no sensory instruments, meaning, it doesn't have eyes, a nose, taste buds .. so, that why we use the water to meld the elements, so these impressions can be sent from our psyche to our physcial senses. However, when these images are being sent to you without any conductors, without a channel, or path .. it's coming directly from the Genius.
Try and pay attention next time that you have a vision, an image in your minds eye, that when this happens .. there's a presence very close to you, even touching you, though it will take awhile before you become aware that you are being touched.

What you might want to do, at first .. wait until you're not alone to try and summon your Genius. Like at your mum's house, go into a quiet room and relax and summon him. That way, if it frightens you, you can get up and get with other people.

You know what? After we got off last night (morning for you), I plugged in a tape of ocean sounds and imagined being at the shore with you. I didn't see swings or DK. But, we were just standing there, the wind flipping our hair, seagulls singing above, warm sand between our toes .. smiling and being glad to be alive .. next thing I knew I was waking up. The wierd part is how soundly I slept. I'm an early riser and I was completely dead to the world until around 9 o'clock this morning .. that never happens. I'm up with the sun, always .. but, I guess we linked up somehow and I was in a deep, deep sleep.
The power of the mind is amazing, isn't it?

It's all the same thing Capgirl, just different names
Guardian Angel, Spirit Guide, Genius .. same entity
"I had a strange headache and dizziness, almost like I was finding it harder to breathe."
That's quite normal when in contact with the supernatural, furthermore, it strikes suddenly .. one minute your fine, the next second you have a heaviness in your head and you feel like your lungs are consticted. A lot of people also experience thier bowels churning and nausea.
To have the experience of sensing a spirit doesn't necessarily represent that a person is psychic .. it's called being a "Sensitive". You can tell the difference between a dark spirit and a light one .. it feels different.
Normally, spirits take on the opposite effect than we are led to believe. A light spirit is the one that will come to you, go through you, cause your headache, or other discomfort. What they are doing is attempting to drain your life force .. hence: dizziness.
Whereas the darker spirits normally don't bother people, just hover around and watch. They already know they are tied to this earthly plane and won't attempt to use you as a channel to obtain a life-force. The good spirits were suppose to ascend upon death, but, haven't been called into the Heavens yet and they know they don't belong here tied to the earth (Hell), so they will attempt to absorb your energy in hopes of once again igniting their internal flame so the Higher Power will sense them and call them home.
Ghosts are pretty predictable .. if one comes near you or passes through you, it's a kind and gentle soul .. don't fear it. The ones standing just off in the shadows are the ones that should cause you concern .. though, they rarely approach the lighted flame of ones soul.

You can't really help it escape from their plane, but, by using you, it could "feel" alive again, in a sense. It could feel the heat of your soul.
Haunted houses are awesome. That's so cool that you like to dabble in the paranormal, I do too, obviously, lol.
Also, you didn't say if you experienced this or not, but, usually when I've been in contact with an entity and have physical reactions .. afterwards, not only does it leave immediately upon leaving the location .. also, when it drains you of energy, it takes all our nutriants .. and I'm starving .. literally feel like passing out and have to eat straight away. Ghosts can't leave thier environment, unless they attach themselves to you, so the moment you leave the haunted building, you immediately return to normal, except your stomach cramps from lack of food. It effects most people like that.
A ghost will leave you if you tell it to, Capgirl. If you're in a haunted place and it's bothering you .. yell at it, tell it to leave and it will. They can hear you, see you, smell you .. they still have sensual impressions.
