📝 Description: Candle Exercises: Macro-Dimension Laboratory Series Needham, Claude

Candles can be used in meditation, attention training, learning concentration, developing discernment, in refining our natural gifts, in our work on self, and they can even serve as direct portals into other dimensions. This book contains a series of candle exercises with diverse uses in all those categories. Many of these exercises have never before been discussed outside of workshops and/or private training sessions. And some of these exercises were previously available only to a handful of adepts and not offered in public.

It builds upon centuries of ritual magic and occult symbolism where candles are central, offering a unique blend of mindfulness and intentional magical practice for self-mastery and spiritual insight, bringing previously hidden wisdom to light.
