I'm not really advaced either but I can suggest keep focused even in your times of being down and out, you can meditate while laying down if needed, stay focused and you shall prevail, it's self empowerment remember!

Ill say this also, I was being attacked just a week ago, and I kicked into high gear and defended myself with the knowledge off the jos site, I was legit dieing but I did some quick thinking and I survived, also the dream that night was fucked up lol.
