I've returned to Joy of Satan with renewed vigor lately, and have began to meditate more. However, I do often find it difficult. Whether it's my anxiety, neurodivergence or if my chakras are well asleep, it can be difficult to feel as the guides say I should and it's frustrating, but I will keep trying
In the meantime, I'm interested in ideas on how I can compensate to improve my spiritual evolution and standing with the powers of Hell. Rituals? Studying? Action? I'm all for suggestions.
Are you a hyperactive person? Being yang dominant can impede one's ease at which they can meditate, as meditation requires both elements of calm (yin) and willpower (yang). Take steps to improve your yin energies, such as through pranayama or hatha yoga. There are acupoints and a variety of other solutions here.
In regards to runes, Berkano can be used for instilling calm necessary for both meditation, as well as sensitivity and intuition. Eihwaz can also be used for improving one's magical will. Try balancing yourself with ether energy, which may give you the missing earth and water to stabilize you.
Although the meditative side of things is essential, you can compensate by spending more time on the physical side, like doing lots of yoga and pranayama. Try alternate nostril breathing to balance yourself. Maybe the lunar breath pranayama could help you through enhancing the 6th chakra, but I wonder if this would be too stimulating; you will have to test this.
Yes, you should definitely do the Gods' rituals, even if it feels hard for you. It is good practice and they are very beneficial for both you and the associated God.
In terms of studying, try to familiarize yourself with at least with the basics of this path, such as the information in the meditation and witchcraft beginner sections. Furthermore, start learning astrology and getting an understanding of your chart, as this will show you what you need to work on throughout your life.
