Like, I get doing stretches and some pre sleep meditation. But I’m talking about the stuff after you start projecting. My instructor introduced me to a little known trick in which you surround your mat with personal objects that hold strong memories. On my second most recent mission I found that I was able to close more portals when my childhood Raggedy Ann had been placed at my feet. And what do you guys do about the faces in the slip gates that speak in latin? Does everyone else just ignore them?
Dude. Are you sure you have your mat aligned properly? What kind of compass have you used? You need to align your mat perfectly due North. Remember: the magnetic north. Not the “true north”, which would misalign you on the magnetic lye-lines causing all kinds of halucinations. Don’t use your phone but a real compass and make sure there is no interference from metal objects.
