On using the Techniques
That depends entirely on the Meditator. If they are able to focus and concentrate then the practice is not necessary but with most people they need that extra help. With your son it is different because of his doing the squeezing of his eyes before – should never squeeze the eyes. He will, in time, contact the Light Energy when he least expects it, as long as he perseveres.

It is always advantageous to use the Sound technique when you are a First Initiate as much as it is comfortable. The reason being is that you are cocooned in the Space, rather like a sheet over the head and body – bathed in the Sound Current without any distractions. It is better than ear plugs as you are forming a circuit between the ears and the top of your head. The linking of the ‘Third Eye’ to the Crown Chakra is the Initiation. When you write the literature about not using the techniques beforehand we will help you. You do need to put pressure on the eyes during the Initiation but not ever to cause pain.

The techniques for the Sound are just what you were taught, with the hands on the head, but not on the Third Eye. No, the Light and Sound techniques are not used together. When someone is newly Initiated they need to keep it separate and when they are ready to move on to no techniques they shouldn’t use them altogether. There are reasons for this.
