1)Is it still effective if i do the spell with my eyes open looking at his picture? i have difficulty visualising his face with my eyes closed, believe it or not!

2)what purpose does the candle serve? are we suppose to focus on the candle while doing the spell?

3)must we start with a new candle when the 2 weeks are up?

4)the actual meditation is rather short. as i take a long time to visualise, the meditation ends when i am just about to stabalise my visualisation. is it ok if i lengthen it?

Thanks.

Hey Kelly.

In regards to question # 3, you should be all done at that time and not cast another spell. I'm sure others will be along soon with more insight.

Thanks, please clarify - do you mean we cannot continue working on the spell after the 2-week (ie 7 sessions) period is up?

It is recommended that you don't cast another spell after you've completed the first schedule. It could scare the POI.

Thanks again. I actually thought it's an ongoing practice and stocked up on red candles! Never knew it's suppose to cease by week 2.

But in Lanie's book she says if there's nothing after two weeks, we can begin the spell again. I actually just started Round 2. I'll stop after this even if nothing happens, I'll just continue the PW and BWD.

My apologies. You're right. I was looking at the aftercare part.

If you have a hard time getting into a relaxed state just start relaxing BEFORE you begin the meditation. You will get used to getting relaxed faster as you practice. You can continue using the same candle. The purpose of anything during a spell or even my technique is to entrain your brain and create a ritual. Remember, I state in my book that when I go to my place of meditation I immediately begin to go into the alpha state? Ritual and programming. :-)

When you do the spell and you are side by side and the light, it always ends up in front of of me not beside me. I just continue with it as if I focus on changing it I will lose the vision and that would be it, I'd have to start again. Am I right in thinking that it is ok to go with where my mind put the light? Hope this makes sense.

are we suppose to close our eyes or focus on the candle in front?

i place the candle and the picture in front of me, is this the correct way?
