Description

Have you ever wondered how fiction writers come up with such complete worlds in their minds eye? Do some of their dialogues sound more like conversations they had with someone than something that they came up with? Doesn’t having a muse sound a lot like someone being a medium?

Wonder no more. All of the details behind how to develop a writing style, what a muse is, how to find one, and two different methods for doing so are included in this SixtySkills course.

The two main techniques involved here are dream yoga and mental wandering. Sometimes referred to as an out of body experience (OBE), or astral travel, mental wandering is a skill that anyone can learn how to perform over time. Dream yoga is an excellent way to make use of what is otherwise downtime in your day as well. Both techniques work individually and can provide great synergy as well.

This course covers some common misunderstandings, technique errors and lifestyle choices that can greatly enhance your odds of success. Specifically, it also addresses why you would want to learn how to do this and points out some common pitfalls frequently seen along the way.

While learning how to separate your consciousness from your body is a classical technique in meditative practice, it is also of great practical value as well as you are about to find here. And this course gets into reasons why you would want to learn to do this and some that might make you want to reconsider.

So, join SixtySkills today and learn how to engage in the fine art of How to Be an (Esoteric) Fiction Writer.
