Can I cleanse my soul immediately after freeing the soul?

[Thersthara]

After the spells, it is necessary to leave a gap of at least 1 hour for the energy to work properly. My daily schedule is really full and I don't have time to spare an hour.

If I take a break for 10 minutes right after the freeing the soul work and then continue with the soul cleansing ( with Lydia's deep cleansing work), will it disrupt the energies? Will the effect of the spell be reduced or blocked?

By the way, can we also cast spells right after the Gods' power rituals? Or the power rituals of the gods right after the spells. Would the energies block each other if there is only a 10 minute gap between them, if not immediately afterwards?

It's actually better to do the cleaning before, and you do not need to wait in between, but you can do pranayama in between, which is what I would do and recommend.

But doesn't cleansing the soul after breaking karma prevent what they call "karma purging"? I believed that if we don't clean the Karma thoroughly after breaking it, the karma that we broke can back fire. I read that in order to prevent this, it is necessary to cleanse after.

Can you also recommend a pranayama that I can use between spells and meditation? Which one do you usually use? What's your favorite?

The baseline for cleaning is one or two times per day. The cleaning that you have in mind could indeed be done after the said procedure as it is supplemental to routine cleaning, and not being the sort of cleaning I was referring to. The reason I suggested cleaning before is that by cleaning you have better potential for meditation and magick. If you decide to do your deep cleaning other time than after the freeing of the soul working it matters little as long as it is done daily along with routine cleaning.

As for pranayama, the breath of fire for an energizing effect, and anuloma viloma for a balancing effect. Both empower in their own ways. There are others I like as well, but I would use those two between sets of mantras and such.

I have done workings close together and they still work, but it is possible that this is not optimal. I would aim for at least 15 minutes if possible. 1 hour is pretty long, in my opinion. HPHC had mentioned once that he does, or had done, the spiritual warfare rituals back to back, although he didn't state if he meant literally a 1 minute gap, or perhaps 10 or something.

I don't really think about the energies clashing, but instead I make sure to strongly visualize them doing their own objectives. In my head, it is therefore impossible to clash, but we shouldn't necessarily substitute over-confidence for reality.

Beyond ideas of energy mixture, you will also quickly tire yourself if you do back to back rituals, so keep this in mind. Therefore, I would recommend to do some other task while waiting for things to settle. For example, you can take a 5 minute break after the working, then do 10 minutes of void or other mental training, then you should be in an ok spot to start another working or exercise.

Or one could do pranayama in between sets for a reinvigorating effect.

I have noticed the chakras associated with the karma are dirtier than normal over the course of the day, not just necessarily right after. In regards to "back-firing", this should be thought as like stabilization or creation of new patterns. Sometimes this is stressful and there is resistance, but back fire can be a pretty harsh word, also giving the mental idea that it is something which can be entirely avoided.

In reality, you should think about the back fire as like a learning process, but the cleaning and more protected we are, the easier it will go. Maybe you do a Saturn Square, for example, and instead of losing your job, you only get yelled at. In both of these situations, you learn from your mistakes, but the first is much harder to recover from. An even better example would be like where you learn what you did wrong without anything obviously bad happening.

So yes, please clean more than normal to make everything go smoothly, but I would not assume that the cleaning has to specifically be done right after, otherwise bad things happen. This could be an overly restrictive conception about a process that is a gradual transformation of the patterns of the soul.

Regarding your words about "cleaning the karma": The karma is the process or pattern itself. The dirt is the outcome of that pattern, and/or energy which can negatively impact our existing patterns. There is a big overlap here, though. It is possible to break karma without cleaning, but this can be unstable and painful. Simultaneously, it is possible to clean the soul without breaking specific patterns of karma, but the negative karma will naturally release more easily from a higher purity of the soul.

I think it might be more about controlling your focus/attention/intention and not using your own will to inadvertently cross contaminate.

HPS Maxine Dietrich mentioned the importance about letting go of your spells and trusting them to do the job, and not stressing about them throughout the day:

The Three Steps of Witchcraft

Now, forget about the working and try to think of other things. This can be difficult in desperate situations, but do the best you can, because worry and obsessing over a working can undo the energy you put into it. Just let it go and know it is working. The only exception to this is, I already went over in the above: You can also visualize energy as with step three, throughout the day and state your affirmations a few times to reinforce the working. Just don't obsess over it, as this is a lack of faith in your own power and can dilute the energy or ruin the working. This sort of thing takes practice like anything else.

After directing the energy I don't think it should matter. But she had a much stronger focus and will than the rest of us, so maybe those of us who are not adept at willing and directing energy should have a short period of downtime between different magical activities, to ensure the energy properly resonates.
