     Note: This is NOT a caging ritual because both participants must be 
voluntary. it is impossible for this to work unless both persons are willing.


     1. Sit in a comfortable position in front of a table with your elbows 
resting on the table top and your palms up

     2. Have the person to be bonded with you sit on the other side of the 
table. have him rest his arm on yours in a comfortable position.

    * You must BOTH be completely relaxed and at ease. If eithier of you is 
tense or nervous this will not work.

     3. Speak,"Now I want you to close your eyes and inhale deeply."(pause for 
a moment) "Now slowly  exhale and release all the tension in your body." 

   * Must be done by BOTH. 3 repitions total is recommended but go with  your 
feelings. a simple phrase such as "again" will suffice for the 2nd and 3rd 
runs.

     4. Speak,"Now open your eyes and look into mine." (Do a "reading" of the 
bondee  using whatever technique is familar with you.) 

   * This is the most difficult part of the entire ritual. All of us have 
natural shields trust is a 2 way street. you must CONSCIOUSLY lower your own 
shields BEFORE you can expet them to do the same for you.

     5. Speak,"We are 2 souls,2 minds, traveling down lifes road. It has come 
to us to be closer than most. Allow me to travel with you as I allow you to 
travel with me. mind,body,soul, all are as one. We are 2 souls destined to act 
as oone. travel with me be my guide as I shall be yours. Let us not be two but 
one refletion of another one mind,two souls, moving closer,ever closer never 
to part, We are 2 acting as one. allow your natural shields to lower as I 
allow mine to go down for you. etc...

   * The words here are not the important thing you will find as you get into 
the "spirit" of this ritual that it will NEVER be exactly the same twice. 

   * It is unfourtant but true that the only way a TRUE bonding will hold is 
if BOTH of the parties literally FORCE thier way through the others shields. 
This may seem unethical maybe even unmoral to some but remember this ritual 
CANNOT be used on any but the most willing.

     6. When you have gone as far as you feel is safe/productive there need to 
be a definite ending the age old words "SO MOTE IT BE" I have found effective 
however feel free to use your own once again it's not the words that matter 
but the technique.
