I thought I'd jump in here. Great thread, OP! S & F !

If I remember, the OP opened this tread with a forwarning that "this ancient practice" could be....(what, dangerous, eye-opening...) for those who weren't ready to do this sort of thing. So, that said, this isn't for everyone.

There are many gateways and portals where one can slip through the grids of the dimensions. Unless you are equipped/prepared to handle this sort of thing, it can be a frightening experience and I wouldn't recommend scrying as a sort of exercise for beginners.

But this is another mirror exercise which can warm you up to the process. This one can actually solve the self-absorbtion vs. self-growth argument, as you won't be staring directly into your own eyes. (Sorry, I was trying to be funny. Is anybody laughing with me here? )

I don't know what this practice is called, it's just a meditation practice that I've been familiar with for a long time:

Similarly to the Scrying methodogy: you place a candle in front of mirror, but you also place a mirror behind you. You'll have to play with the placing of it a little to make sure you get it aligned so you can see the back of your head in the mirror in front of you. You can gaze at yourself if you want to for a bit, if/when you start to get uncomfortable with this kind of personal intimacy, then gaze away from your first self and follow the projectory of the mirror behind you until you see yourself into infinity in the reflected mirrors behind you. The idea is to concentrate on getting smaller and smaller and smaller until you are atom sized. Hold your concentration on becoming ever smaller and keep it there as long as you can. Maybe only seconds at first. You can reverse at any time and return to the single frame. The exercise herein is to offer the discipline required to focus your way to the atom size and beyond --and back. Once you have succeeded in this discipline you should feel more confident in moving to the next step. By then you'll be way beyond asking yourself if you are being a creature of self-absorption!

I read this topic with much interest; thank you for posting methods like these here.
I wish to try it too; I have some experience with meditation, and even if I never had some mind-blowing, paranormal experiences, meditating helped and changed me for the better, I believe.
Still, for some unknown reason, dark mirrors always freaked me out. If I happen to go to the bathroom at night without turning the light on, I won't look in the mirror for nothing in the world. Reading this thread I realized that I actually have a fear of dark mirrors, without even being aware of it. Strange, indeed, since I don't recall to ever have any frightful memories related to mirrors.

I think I'll try it anyway; if I'm brave enough, I'll let you know how it goes.
And those who tried, please post your experiences; I would love to know more about this.

Thanks again for sharing this with us.

I'm a meditator,I've practiced meditation for 7 months now,in 3 weeks I've opened up 3rd eye,had a few lucid dreams,I heard if you meditate and go scry in on ordinary mirror,that you would see rainbow light,so I went ahead and did it,and yes it worked,after about 10 minutes I saw purple energy on my body fluctuating.and directly outside my body was gold light,the energy would fluctuate as if the mirror was being scanned by my third eye,I'm not sure if the energy I'm seeing is actually energy from my body or if my third eye is showing me with eyes open what it normally shows me with eyes closed,i can normally see purple and yellow energy during meditation with eyes closed,just checking maybe someone has figured this out and could tell me if this energy from 3rd eye or actually from my body,thanks

I heard many times of this and similar meditation, as far as i know nostradamus used it as well.

I was always intreaged to try myself, but in younger years i experimented with some chemicals and natural stuff and had twice a terrifiying encounter with a mirror. So i made it my golden rule not to watch a mirror when under the influence EVER. take it as an advise.

I did leave the substances and went into yoga, meditation and experimentated with opening the third eye.
Now this thread, and i said, why not.

so i tried it with the instructions given here.
Experiences:

- i felt my eyes being calm, motionless but i could see them moving quite a lot, from left to right from right to left, sometimes even independently (left eye moving but not the right one)
- without concentrating on the third eye i could consantly see a dark spot where the third eye is
- the light seem to go brighter on inhaling, dimmer on exhale, which was cool it seemed like i was brmeathing light (hindsight i have to say it was probably my breath blowing on the candle...
- to be honest i could not go into a real meditation state, too many thoughts running around.
- when i finished i felt really light and sort of purified
- and i was glad i did, just for the fact to overcome my fear of old memories.

I ll definetly try it again, and will share my experience.

As to your methods, you may well be very surprised to learn that Michel Nostradamus indeed used the mirror extensively for the enjoyment of the, Queen of France, where he could show the Queen the future via the mirror, and he also used the bowl of water, but this is the ancient Cabal shamanistic wisdom, and practices, that Nostradamus new and understood

In this respect, not many of us, do understand
