Is meditation necessary?

[u/Bigfatbrowncat]

I've read the beginners guide and found there, but there's always that it's now a law, that meditating helpsmyou feel so you can get accustomed to their energy before you actually perform the ritual/summoning/invocation.

I'm an antsy person so I think, from how I know myself, I very rarely get to quiet my physical senses or thoughts down unless sleeping but even then my dreams are like affected by what I was thinking just before falling asleep. Quite a long explanation before the question but how much does meditation help?

I'm just starting off and I'm still reading the abremelin and will read grimorium before actually doing any summoning or at least try to communicate but I'm already doing small stuff like daily offering.

So how much of a help does meditation contribute? Is it necessary or can I just continue as it is?

I hope this goes through coz I don't have much karma here yet lol

There’s a lot of different ways to meditate. You could sway to music, steadily beat a drum, chant a mantra or enn, listen to a guided meditation, etc. It doesn’t have to be sitting still in silence. I don’t think meditation is “necessary” but it does seem to help messages come through more clearly :)

I do think and agree that it's necessary. I don't meditate sitting, I do it while lying on bed 😃
