Accessing the subconscious
Someone once told me that to do any kind of magick and for it to work, one needs to have access to their subconscious, the universal mind. They must share an openness or a connection with it before any magick will work for them. I understand we all have a connection to the subconscious however my connection seems to still be locked away, regardless of all the practices I attempt to get me closer to my goals like meditation.
I know many people on the forum have probably developed their skills since childhood, embracing the strange events that came naturally to them. I unfortunately am among the others who have to knock themselves in the head a few times to wake up and do things right to get there. I don't know how to get there though.
If anyone who never had such a natural affinity to magick, having to work at it and be successful has any info as to what kind of practices one should implement to snap out of it, I would be very appreciative. As well as any ideas on unlocking the subconscious and what something like that could offer one's mind.
