If you believe that you can successfully and effectively navigate metaphysically without daily meditation -- you're lying to yourself.
Meditation is foundational in the mix of mastering and having deep impact in the occult arena . . . . For folks sincerely committed . . . daily meditation isn't an option -- it's a necessity. When we meditate -- solutions, creative ideas, empowering messages, etc are downloaded into us.
I do daylight and night time meditation because we are composed of light and dark energy. Darkness was here before light appeared. Darkness meditation can be done WHENEVER it's dark outside -- 9:30 p.m., 10 p.m., 3 a.m., 5 a.m. -- ANY TIME WHEN it's dark outside.
Due to street lights, etc., I do my darkness -- with my EYES OPEN -- meditation in the bathroom where I gain COMPLETE darkness. My darkness meditation with my EYES CLOSED is done typically in my bedroom.
You can have a boatload of crystals and other magickal accessories, but the foundation of meditation is ESSENTIAL . . .
Meditation transforms, among other deeply beneficial things that it does . . .
###
Folks are deceived who believe that meditation is demonic. It certainly isn't evil.
###
There is no right or wrong way to meditate. Folks need to find what works for you uniquely. Some people meditate sitting lotus style, some use music, some chant, some folks meditate lying down, etc.
Me, I typically meditate lying down with crystals laying on me holding a crystal in each hand. I use music sometimes; other times I prefer silence.
For those who are concerned about dozing off when you meditate -- I set a timer when I engage in meditation . . .
