So should I begin with meditation and is there any special equipment I need like candles, incense, etc etc?
Most of those things are just props. Something to count mantras is useful, but a phone app can suffice for that.
Generally, you want to divide your time with thought training, empowerment/cleaning, astral senses, yoga, warfare, protection, then extra workings to shape your life. Also, studying and communicating JOS knowledge.
-Thought training includes void meditation, visualization practice, and recall/analysis training. These activities are foundational and should be taken very seriously, as an untrained mind, but forceful soul, can be chaotic.
-Empowerment and cleaning include working directly on the chakras, such as through spinning or vibrating mantras into them. Raw empowerment powers everything on your soul, both good and bad. Therefore, deep cleaning such as with visuddhi or sun mantras, is necessary to go back and start separating the bad from the good.
Daily cleaning of the soul and aura is a maintenance activity that keeps you feeling good and also prevents negative events from manifesting (if something bad is left sitting on the aura).
-Astral sense training includes both empowering the associated chakras, such as the third eye, 6th chakra, 7th chakra, minor sight/hearing chakras. It also includes applying them, similar to thought training, where you try to use the associated sense, such as looking through the 3rd eye. Eventually, the energy pathways will be established and grow stronger.
Note: all chakras are necessary for proper astral work, but the higher ones are more related to sensing, and the bottom for acting.The base chakra, with its influence on grounding, allows you to give proper "weight" to the world around you, instead of being "trapped" in the dreaminess of the higher chakras.
-Yoga includes mainly hatha yoga and kundalini yoga, as shown in the associated pdf (found on Satan's library). Other exercises or routines can also be used where appropriate. Yoga helps both the physical body and soul become empowered and balanced. Due to its multifaceted nature, it is critical in your growth, so don't undervalue it.
-Warfare includes the RTR's, internet warfare, helping on the forums, and additional rituals on special dates. Do note that certain rituals will also help you as well. The RTR cleans your soul of Hebrew curses, which are the primary limiters to your growth, not just any "natural" degeneration of past lives.
-Protection includes using mantras or energy breathing to create a strong shield around yourself or anything else you want to protect. Keep in mind, if you have been attacked, it is too late to prevent that damage. Therefore, keep a strong AOP as a preventative measure, not just a novelty. A general AOP protects against both enemy influence, but also any other negativity that comes from daily life.
-Additional workings are anything that can include personality changes, removing bad habits/thought patterns, gaining material wealth, specific chakra work, removing negative karma, etc. Mainly you would want to know your astrology chart so you can understand and solve your problems.
-Studying includes reading the forums, but also the JOS pages. Remember, the JOS articles represent the distilled knowledge of advanced members who have spent decades on this path. It is therefore worth it to memorize such information. Communication includes the discussion of everything so that you can help others, or vice versa, as is happening now.
------------------
As far as the timing of everything, this varies based on the person. A beginner may spend 10 minutes on void, 2 mins visualizing, 3 mins recall, 5-15 minutes empowering chakras, 20-25 warfare, 20-25 yoga, 5 on astral senses, 10-20 on extra workings.
It is hard to be exactly specific about this, however, because everyone is different. Just try not to totally neglect something.
Good luck!
