want to try to re do opening the soul meditations but kind of worried.

[knightofmoon]

If I was to re do the opening the soul meditations all over again due to thinking I haven't actually opened my soul when going through them, am I going to be okay? I heard re doing them can have consequences but I heard that years back and I wanted to verify if it is safe and just a really good idea to have another go at it instead of leaving it having been attempted through but not actually done. I am just worried if it will be dangerous, hoping completely fine.

If you are worried about over stimulation just start slow. I'm not sure where you heard it being dangerous most people have positive experiences. It doesn't work like "I do this meditation once and my chakras are now open". It isn't as simple as that. Opening the chakras fully is an ongoing process that should be worked on everyday. The most important thing is to clean them before doing any chakra work. Aura/Chakra Cleaning.



Starting and stopping probably did absolutely nothing besides just keep you stuck at the same level energetically.

No, Brother, don't worry, it's not dangerous at all.

On the contrary, it's very good to get back to the basics once in a while, especially as we progress and we begin to understand and feel energies better and the whole process of meditation.

By all means, go for it.

Start by assuming that if this is something you feel you need to do, it’s because deep down you know that something was missing from your previous meditation. I don’t know how long it’s been since you last meditated, but don’t let any of this scare you. If your soul feels the need to meditate, do it, but I wholeheartedly recommend taking small steps so you can progress calmly and without fear. Many people have to repeat the same meditation twice or extend the duration because it’s not as easy as you might think. Also, ask your GD for help and guidance, even if you don’t know his or her name. Everything will be fine if you listen to your body.

Hello knightofmoon. Opening the Soul is a gradual process. Soul will open as time goes with consistent and constant empowerment by performing meditations on the chakras, aura, soul as a whole, via yoga as well (please look up High Priestess Lydia's posts on Yoga for this). However there are some "prerequisite" steps that need to be done first. Energy exists all around us but without the correct training we are not able to feel it, and this precedes any empowerment meditations.

The Breath: The Basis of Magick, Energy Manipulation, and Mind Power

In parallel with the foundation meditation you need to practice void meditation in order to be able to control the mind better, enabling you to focus much more effectively on the area of the soul you are meditating on.

You definitely don't need to be afraid of empowering the soul but what you need to do is start slowly, after you practice the foundational meditation and void meditation for a number of days or 1-2 weeks, start with few and gentle vibrations in each chakra and in the aura etc. Increase the number after a few weeks or as you feel comfortable. The easiest way to start the entire meditation journey in a calculated manner is by either doing the 40 days meditation program:

Or the 4 months meditation program:

I've returned to opening the soul meditations in the past and have had no ill effects that I know of. I actually feel as if I should do them again.
