First and foremost, I'm currently 2 months going on 3 months into the new program I started.
This includes: 3x Final RTR daily
SA TA NA MA meditation daily
Both yoga sets daily
Void meditation for 5 minutes daily
As well as Foundation Meditation, meditating on Satan's Sigil, and chakra openings.
And from all of this I've progressed, but I don't quite feel like it. It's like I'm living 2 separate lives in a way, and I barely have time to myself.
So I'm making this post to ask for advice. I don't know whether I should add more, take some off, or work towards opening more of my astral senses (as I currently have a difficult time understanding what the gods say, even during ritual)
Any advice is welcome. Thank you for reading, and have a great day
Hey there!
I do not see the AoP/Returning Curses on your schedule. This one is an absolute necessity and should be done twice a day no matter what.
Also, make sure to always clean yourself after you're done with the RTRs. You can do the Returning Curses afterwards so you get two things done at once, as cleaning is already part of the Returning Curses anyway.
The rest of your routine looks quite solid, but it seems to me that you lack any general working or goal that you put your energies towards (aside from the RTRs). Right now, I would presume that a good deal of your energies are staying unused.
My recommendation would be to start some kind of working for something. Think about something small and simple that you'd like to have in your life right now. Maybe you want a little more money, or maybe you have some bad habits you'd like to get rid of, or even just general happiness. Anything goes, really. I'd advise that you keep your aims small for now, though. As you are still quite new, it can be a pleasant and reassuring experience to take a small goal at first and delight in seeing your energies manifesting the results into your life nicely and swiftly, as opposed to trying a giant working right away and getting discouraged because it doesnt work.
Regarding your lack of personal time, I'm presuming you have some kind of job or other daytime occupation right now which is causing this. The solution to this is quite simple - time management. It may sound dumb, but if you seriously make a schedule for yourself, and stick to it no matter what, you will find that you get your things done much more quickly and efficiently. Many of us here, and especially the HPs, are juggling so many things at once that any normal person would break from it in under a day. But they can do it anyway, because they manage their time well.
So make yourself a schedule, and set aside a little time for yourself to just relax and do whatever. Treat it just like any other task/meditation, and don't get caught up in the relaxation for longer than you scheduled.
Oh yeah, and I don't know how much energy you're having at your disposal right now, but usually 3 RTRs a day is quite the high amount for someone who's this new. Doing spiritual warfare is great, but don't overexert yourself. It will just hurt you in the long run, and make you less productive in warfare over-all. It might be wise to cut down to 1-2 RTRs a day instead for now and instead focus on doing a working, like mentioned above. This will make you better at magick too, and help you grow faster.
It's fun, too!
Remember, the more powerful you become, the more impact your RTRs will have. So slowing down on them right now, and focusing on getting stronger, will actually allow you to have more influence in this spiritual war than you would've had if you just kept spamming 3 RTRs a day until exhaustion.
If you have any further questions, I'd love to hear them
