Re: Mirror Meditation

Hello Turiya,

I too thought your post was excellent, but had my access priviledges denied so couldn't reply to it.

From what you wrote, I get a "yes", that garbage from the subconscious can create these negative effects while
meditating.

I haven't tried the mirror meditation yet...
Should the candle be in front of you,
slightly off to the side, visible in the mirror,
or not?
I suppose this is an option I could play with, yes?

As a child I heard of: go into a dark bathroom and
stand in front of the mirror and say,
"I believe in Mary Worth" three times.
Can't recall all the horror stories connected to this,
but do recall avoiding the mirrors in dark bathrooms with a dread.

You mirror meditation seems to explain why something like that might work.
Now if I can just get up the courage to try it. :)
