This is /x/ related, because focus is the backbone of magick and all paranormal and supernatural phenomena.It really feels stressful to try to keep the focus onto something, do you have some tips to train that "Skill"? or am i just fucked?
This is why I cut myself during ritual.

>>42389980So... pain? does pain helps? Wouldn't it just drift your focus onto the pain instead?
>>42390003I'm a broken person. It brings an elation and can ground me. You could also try nicotine.
>>42389972>because focus is the backbone of magickso my ADHD is what's keeping my dick shrinking spell from working? i got a huge dick bro. 2 much 4 the ladies 2 handle
>>42389972meditation obviously
>>42389972Your brain is being scrambled by wireless devices. Phenibut cures that shit fast, which actually pisses me off even more.
>>42389972Because your brain is fucked by social media and short form content. You can absolutely get better though, meditation helps a lot. If it seems hard to do at first that's because you're doing it right. It's like anything else, in order to be good at concentrating you need to build your concentration muscles.
>>42390003Don't listen to that retard, cutting yourself as an easy way out to focus better is mentally ill teenage girl with bpd behavior. And it's not even true, maybe you'd end up concentrating more through placebo?
>>42390003I agree with: >>42390215I had nerve pain (extreme) for like 10 years straight. It floods you with adrenaline and endorphins, narrows your focus, etc. But to be remotely useful it has to essentially shatter the mind. Transporting you to another world. Then you become a golem.
>>42390215This, desu. I only do it because broken and I sometimes find it helpful. A lot of other LHP practitioners tell me I have "unsafe practices", whatever that means. Sometimes I do it when the blood in my rituals from a diabetic lancet are not enough. It doesn't cause a lot of blood, the blade, it mostly stings. I use a very clean but dull knife, I sanitize it and myself before use, and run the tip down my arm akin to nail scratches. Very shallow.Sleep, lack of distractions, and a dedicated ritual space helps a lot too.>>42390244Hey, I am no golem! But extreme pain can absolutely kick you out of the moment.
Go hardcore with your practice.Find out what that means for you.
>>42390327The thing I'm using to communicate with you is a golem. I created it to continue through anything with almost nothing. And it did. It formed the fouhndation which allowed us to continue on.
>>42389972Focusing is not natural... When you focus, you direct your stream of consciousness toward a single object as narrowly as you can. This reduces the amount of literal consciousness you have of your body, the rest of your mind, and things around you in the world. Being a true spirit means NOT focusing and actually involves just taking it all in
