Mana training 02

Dream space

In the house 8 individuals sat on the couch excitedly. It was afternoon which means, it was time for their first Mana Training lesson. Suddenly, a foggy figure materialized in the corner of the room.

" Are you guys ready?" Terra asked as she looked around at everyone faces.

" YES!" everyone replied in unison.

Terra led everyone to far North-East of the island. It looked nothing different from other part of the island, the same green grass field surrounded by large trees. By the way, the whole island has four grass fields surrounded by large trees. One in the middle is for a house, one in the North-East for Mana Training, One in the East side for Physical Training, one in the North side for Combat practice. The island was surrounded by crystal clear water and this will be Rudra's training ground.

Soon, the group reached the plain grass field. Unlike other fields, there were particles of white colour floating in the air, dancing around, running or just floating lazily. The group of 8 was awestruck after seeing the sight in front of them. It looked really beautiful, just like a picture containing thousands of stars floating in the space.

" Is that..." Han lei thought out aloud.

" Yes, this is where you will be learning how to use mana. Those star like white shining particles are Raw mana particles. Although it is impossible to see a sight like this, but because of the abundent mana in the air, you can see those particles."

" Go in and sit in a meditative pose." Terra ordered.

Everyone came out of their fantasies and did as ordered.

" Now close your eyes and focus on your breathing, don't control your breathing and just let it flow." Terra instructed.

Everyone did as she told them and started focusing on their breathing. Silence permeated the whole area as 8 individuals focused on their training. Terra continues to guide them in the process.

" Don't think about anything just focus on your breathing. " Terra continued speaking in between time.

" Try muttering Inhale and exhale words if you can't focus on your breathing." Terra suggested.

This Meditative session continues for one complete hour.

" Now slowly open your eyes and adjust them to your surroundings." Terra instructed with a calm face.

" How does it feel?" Terra asked with an amusing tone.

" It feels different from before..." ( Anna)

" It feels like something is entering my body through my nose." ( Juliana)

" It feels quite relaxing" ( Rudra)

" I can feel something different in my body." ( Neon)

" I have done Meditation before, but this feels different. ( Andrew)

" I don't feel bored by doing meditation, I have tried to meditate before but I always left in halfway because it was really boring. But this is really different." ( Han lei)

" Now, attention everyone! You will be doing Meditation for next 6 days for 8 hours continuously. After that we will move to the next step. Do you understand?" Terra asked.

" Understood" Everyone answered.

" Good, now then I will be leaving. Don't slack off in your training. Most importantly, don't talk or open your eyes while meditating. It is the most important part."Terra Instructed with a calm voice and disappeared from the spot.

Day 08, Dream space.

" Now let's move on to the next part. Don't change your meditative positions, don't open your eyes. Just listen to me and do as I say." Terra stated and continued

"To master a sport, you train your body. To master a science, you train your mind. But to master a magic, you must train your mind. Magic is a feeling that you channel through your magic core. "

" After you have meditated in this environment, a little amount of mana must be present in your body. Try to feel that mana, try to feel the same sensation you felt when breathing."

" You can't stop blood from bleeding right? Unless you cover the cut with some cloth to stop the bleeding. When you lose a volume of blood, you'll feel getting dizzy, if too much, possibly will lose consciousness because you can't control blood from bleeding out"

" Apply the same thought to the mana present in your body. Feel the flow of your mana from your body, just like how blood flows. If you still can't, imagine it like water flows as if it's flowing through with your own will in your body."

" Now try to direct that energy to your abdomen, move slowly and carefully. Try to be as smooth as you can. Don't let the mana in your body leak, focus on the flow and gather your mana in spherical shape near your abdomen."

" Now repeat the same process again and again until the spherical shape near your abdomen become stable. this sphere shaped mana will be your Mana Container or Mana Core."

" It won't be easy at first but you will be able to get the hang of it. Repeat the same process again and again until you form your own Mana Core. I will set an alarm, to notify you when your training time is over."

" I will be off then."
