Owl from the Master to Susan Foreman

[theregothedrums.livejournal.com]

Susan,

I'm sure you're doing your own studies on the workings of magic, and I wouldn't dream of interfering with your techniques; it seems that magic is especially responsive to an individualized approach.

Or, to be more blunt, it can be far easier to achieve things if you don't know it should be impossible.

It occurs to me, however, that there are certain meditative exercises that you might find useful, especially if you're experimenting with any form of Divination. It's a basic technique taught at the Academy, just a way to clear the mind... more my field than your grandfather's, so he might not have thought to teach you.


(Enclosed are several pages of, yes, simple Gallifreyan meditation exercises.)
