Happy Monday JMG and everybody, I finally had some success with my meditation work. I'm sharing it in the hopes that my experience might be helpful to someone. For the longest time I was doing everything by the book yet the sentence "I entered into a meditative state" rang hollow to me... until the last Tuesday. What moved the needle for me was frankincense. In the presence of its scent, I finally did it... taking the position, relaxing the muscles, fourfold breath, go! And I did! The smell of frankincense helped a lot. It was not easy to learn to burn it properly though. I have a question about SOP. I am invoking Druid Deities, but that's the extent of my relationships with them. Is it OK to do so? My parents were atheists and I am slowly working my way toward faith and religion, but slowly is the keyword here. Kirsten
