Skills and Exercises for Deep
Spiritual Exploration
The secret, thanks to which a shaman can fully control himself, being in the deepest trance, and is able to make an ecstatic flight of the soul to other levels of being, is the ability to concentration of consciousness. Concentration is the ability to fully focus your attention and thoughts on a chosen object. In most people this skill is poorly developed. When a mind undeveloped in this regard tries to concentrate on any object, it is soon distracted by a stream of random thoughts and loses its original purpose.
To develop a vivid imagination, it is necessary to perform special exercises to train the mind and awaken the subconscious mind. The basis here is the ability to concentrate consciousness deeply and uninterruptedly. Concentration, willpower and the ability to evoke visual images are closely related. When you acquire new skills in one of these areas, your abilities in the other two areas increase at the same time.
The task of training your spirit can be divided into several subtasks, which can be done in any order, not necessarily in the order given below. In fact, if you regularly perform exercises to develop one aspect of your spirit, you may notice that several other aspects develop at the same time. By acquiring one ability, you may acquire others in parallel.

In fact, if you regularly perform exercises to develop one aspect of your spirit, you may notice that several other aspects develop at the same time. By acquiring one ability, you may acquire others in parallel.
The subtasks to be accomplished in order to achieve the main goal are as follows:
1. To develop the ability to concentrate quickly and completely on a chosen subject or object for any desired length of time and then instantly transfer attention to another subject or object.
2. To develop observation and the ability to analyze in depth using the full mental capacity available to you.
3. learn to concentrate so deeply on the chosen object that the physical surroundings, distractions, and anything unrelated to that object disappear from the sphere of consciousness.
4. Develop the ability to concentrate on the object of mental representation so intensely that with your eyes closed you experience something like a hallucination. For example, concentrating on the image of a lemon, you should clearly see it with your inner gaze, smell and taste it.
5. Learn to cause the same effect as in the previous point, but with open eyes. For example, with your eyes closed, you visualize a mental image of a candle and see it with your inner gaze as if it were real, with all its details. Then, continuing to concentrate on the image of the candle, you open your eyes, and the degree of your concentration is such that you do not notice the world around you - only the candle is in front of your eyes.
6. Having created a vivid mental image, for example, of a flower, learn to project it on a plane, say, on a sheet of paper, so vividly that it looks like a drawing or a photograph that you can trace with a pencil.
7. Learn to project the picture into three-dimensional space so that you can see it just like a real object with your eyes open.
8. Develop the ability to change the perception of physical objects by an effort of will. For example, you look at a piece of white paper and visualize it turning blue until you actually see a piece of blue paper. When you learn to do this, at the same time you will have the ability to induce various bodily sensations of your own free will, and you will also learn not to feel real pain.
9. Learn to create various stable emotional states, such as happiness, anger, sadness, peace, contentment, etc., of your own free will. At the same time, you will have the ability to control your own involuntary emotional reactions as soon as they arise. For example, you will learn to transform anger, anxiety, fear, sadness, and depression into joy, confidence, happiness, contentment, etc.
10. Develop the ability to combine the sensations of the various senses into one vivid picture. For example, you create an image of a dog in front of you and hear its barking, feel its fur under your fingers, smell the odor of a dog, or mentally place a rose in front of you and enjoy its fragrance and feel the pain of a prick when you touch its thorns.
11. learn to quickly induce all of the effects described above. For example, at first it may take you a long time to conjure up a realistic image of a rose in front of you. After some practice, you will learn to create a three-dimensional image of a rose simply by deciding to do it and saying to yourself something like, “I want a rose to appear in front of me.” Another example: you say, “I am happy,” and instantly a feeling of happiness permeates your entire being.
12. learn to induce the effects described above not only in minimum time, but also in unfavorable conditions: when you are distracted by people, sounds or feel mental or psychological discomfort.
Concentration can be defined as directing thoughts and attention to a chosen object and keeping attention on it without fail. Thus, while doing concentration exercises, you should do the following:
1. Select an object to concentrate on.
2. Direct your thoughts and attention to it.
3. Hold your attention on that object and think intensely about it.
4. Prevent unrelated and distracting thoughts from entering the mind. If such thoughts arise, you should dismiss them and return your attention and mind to the object of concentration. As you practice, fewer and fewer such thoughts will arise in the mind, and the periods of uninterrupted concentration will lengthen.
