Wow that was impressive and especially so as you have not been doing it long. Yes that's what it's about, you need to relax your eyes...look at the ball with unfocused eyes and try to turn off your thoughts and the rest just comes.
I have a little meditation I do to help with that. I will give it to you hear in case it is helpful.
"So first I meditate for 5-10 minutes. Then I turn the light back in
and I take 3 long slow breaths. Then I take three more long slow breaths,
slowing down and really feeling them (to get me centered in the present moment
really feeling the air enter and leave my body. Then three more slow breaths
that I imagine I am breathing through my heart center. Then three more that I
imagine I am breating through the top of my head. That is the centering part of
it, to get you fully present in the present moment. Also it helps relax
you.
I personally tend to meditate and now ball gaze lying down. I find
the position most relaxing and that is important the relaxation. I personally
tend to do both lying in bed.
So the next step is to imagine chords coming downwards from my body and going down into the earth. That is the
grouding part, that connects you to the planet. They can be golden chords.
Then I rub my hands togeter quickly, until they feel warm. 40
times or so,. And then blow on them, which makes them feel sensitive. Then I put
my hands near my ball and feel its energy physically. And hold it in hands and
feel its energy physically.
Then I turn it over and over in my hands until I find the spot that feels like
the right spot to gaze into that day.
I look at that spot with a three point system. First I look at it with my eyes. Then I connect the energy of my
heart center to it. Send the energy of my heart center to it, it's as if I I am sending a ray of energy from there to the ball. And then I do the same with my third eye area. I connect that energy to the ball. They call that the triangle of
energy. And it does help things work better, in my experience.
So you have the three going at once. Your eyes are looking and your heart center and
third eye area are sending their energy, all at once. Its a 3 point focus. THEN
I unfocus my eyes and gaze.
Its a bit of a process, and it takes a bit
or practice. It took me time to remember it all. LOL But it does seem to work.
And I have it memorized now."
Thought you might want that. Other than that, CONGRATULATIONS on your gifts, the ball and your gift for Scrying. You were definitely meant to receive that ball. That was just amazing as you have been at it so short a time.
BTW, I also see that where the ball lights up green. I get that too! Not if I just scry for a few a very short time, but if I do for a bit longer, it shows up. Either bright green or a bright violet. Once I saw the whole ball illuminate like a light bulb. It lit up my hands as if I were holding a light bulb. So I know I have had that too. What it is? I am not sure either but would love to hear other's opinions. I think of it though as the energy you are calling up from inside you that allows you to read that fills up the ball. Green to me is the colour of the heart chakra=loving energy. And since the universe is love based, aligning with that energy is what makes it easiest to read.
I guess like learning to read with any divination tool. First we see the images and then we learn how to understand them. One step at a time.
I adore Scrying. It feels so much freer than Tarot. In Tarot you have a set image to work from, In Scrying ANYTHING at all can come up. There is no limits. You are free to see anything at all!
Have fun!!!!
