In practice these may be used viewing a ray of orange energy coming into your heart center from the appropriate direction as each name is invoked. Then walk a circle of the ritual space, tracing a circle of orange light as you go invoking the name Mehendiz. Return to the center and visualizing all of the rays while invoking Merhuyez.
