Days Ten through Twenty-Four - Visualization Exercises
If you have access to a printer, print these images out:
The above image of Satan's Sigil was used extensively in many 1920's - 30's European Satanic Lodges.
Days 10, 11 and 12
Sit comfortably and place the Image 1 in front of you. Relax and fix your gaze upon this image for 3-4 minutes. Concentrate on the image and do not let your mind wander. If your mind wanders, just bring it back to the image.
Close your eyes and visualize the image. The image may fade in and out or move around, just keep bringing it back. Do this for 3-4 minutes.
Days 13, 14 and 15
Repeat the above with Image 2
Days 16, 17 and 18
Repeat the above with Image 3
Days 19, 20 and 21
Repeat the above with Image 4
Days 22, 23 and 24
Repeat the above with Image 5
What these exercises do:
Visualization exercises build and empower our astral vision. Visualization is necessary in nearly all spellworking. With intense visualization, we direct energy into specific action in the material world. Nearly invention in the material world is preceeded by an idea. The idea is then focused upon and then put into concrete action. It is the same with energy. During a ritual or mind working, energy is raised. This energy must then be focused and applied or it just remains energy. Focused clear and intense visualization directs the energy. When one can focus uninterrupted and hold the vision of an object of choice in the mind for five minutes, one is adept at visualization.
Days Twenty-five and Twenty-six - Sense Meditation
1. Place Image 1 in front of you. Relax and calm your mind.
2. Gaze at the image for 2 minutes.
3. Now instead of visualizing the image with your eyes closed, visualize the image with your eyes open for 2 minutes. Your attention should be fixed upon the image to where you do not observe anything else in your environment.
4. Now close your eyes and visualize the image for 3-4 minutes.
What this exercise does:
This exercise further strengthens your astral vision while working on your concentration as your eyes are open. This further opens, trains and develops dormant areas of the mind and empowers them.

The back extension of the 6th chakra, work on this. Will the energy to go there, know that it is at the middle of the back of your skull. Use the vibrations listed on JoS, and target it to that area to open and empower it. Don't do too many reps though, even just 5 to 8 daily for a while.

Use your intention and imagination as a substitute for clear visuals. Also work on your third eye and 6th chakra. If you feel unable to do this, then do the lunar breath pranayama, which will 100% stimulate this part of your soul without visualization.
You should be directly practicing this, even in the most basic of ways. For example, pretend that there is a pencil floating in front of you. You can do this because you know what a pencil looks like. This trains the brain to develop your creativity and visualization, by extension.

In addition to the 6th and Third Eye, I found strengthening the Pineal itself helps strongly with visualization and especially feeling Chakras.

There's a simple trick to help you learn how to visualize.
Look outside on a sunny day, then quickly close and cover your eyes. You'll see an after-image for a few seconds, in purple hues. As the image fades try to focus on a part of it and "keep" it visible. As you get better, you'll be able to hold the image for longer and longer. Eventually, if you hold it for long enough, what you see won't be a physical after-image at all, but totally your visualization! Once you get this far, the next step is to close your eyes and make something appear out of nowhere (just a random object, like chair or something) using visualization. Finally, once you get good at this, just direct the "feeling" of the visualization to a specific place or intent as you work magick.
