Occult Exercises and Practices

by Gareth Knight

The complete beginner's guide to practical occultism. It gives basic practical exercises in development of clairvoyance, clairaudience, astral projection, attracting opportunities, recovering memories of past incarnations, projecting etheric force, rhythmic breathing, relaxation, techniques of meditation, magical visualization, spiritual exercises and prayer. There is also a bibliography of works giving systems of practical occult development. The book is divided into sections, allowing the student to develop upon all levels at once - the physical, etheric, astral, mental intuitional and spiritual - for the author believes that all round development is essential if an occultist is to be worthy of the same.

Potser la pitjor merda que m'he llegit. Puc contar els paràgrafs on no volia llegir en diagonal amb els dits d'una mà

[Felipe · Rating 5 out of 5]

An excellent review of occult practices for the neophyte and the adept. Gareth Knight also presents a very important connection between occultism and religion, bringing light to both ways of approaching one's own development. By doing this, he fills the aim of explaining that faith and knowledge not only may walk along, but it's actually a necessary perspective. This is a really must-have, in spite of being a basic reading. Recommended.
