After that, you can move to the
spiritual warfare training programme, while maintaining basic practices that you'll learn in the programme you started. It develops many necessary skills that many people often unwisely neglect, not to mention it leaves you with all your elements balanced, which is necessary in advancement.
Hi Stormblood. After completing the 6th month program, would you still recommend something like you suggested in this thread
https://ancient-forums.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7943&hilit that would cover all bases? (Of course, needs will vary, but speaking in a general sense)
Thanks for bringing that old post up. The answer is "No, disregard that". The 40-day programme outlines what are the basics for a custom meditation programme:
* AC
* AoP
* VM
* Something to work on ALL your chakras. For those with very little time, chakra spinning is green.
* KY
* HY
Anything else is optional and can be chosen on a case by case basis, tuning into yourself, your needs, your goals and the Gods' guidance.
The balancing of elements may require time to be achieved, sometimes longer than a month and multiple rounds. The same goes for working on your weak points as instructed by HPS Maxine at the end of the programme. These count as needs.
When it comes to balancing needs, goals and guidance, it helps to ask yourself questions and set priorities. For example, for someone may be needed to get rid of self-loathing, self-doubt, lack of self-confidence, and similar issues through freeing the soul workings, like HPS Limlal suggested on that very same programme. That has very high chance of having top priority as it can prevent your workings from manifesting properly and can make your advancement extremely slow if not addressed.
Healing trauma is something that might be top priority in some cases, and for that Lydia's suggested working with Wunjo is a very strong option.
People just need to sit down, focus (void meditation), and do some introspection, assessing themselves thoroughly, critically and openly, but without beating themselves up. Take note of everything they realise, if their memory is weak. For each thing, one should rate the influence and importance of each.
If going deeper is done by asking why for everything until you find the origin of that branch; understanding influence and importance is done by asking yourself "how". Everything is linked. Nothing is separate. Meaning everything that there is nothing that affects only one thing or one person. And there is nothing that affects nothing, contrary to what those who are plagued with devil-may-care/carefree attitude may think.
While some people may be familiar to any degree with the introspective process, we also have extroverts here and other categories who have never (or almost never) bothered with it, and for them it's even more important to sit still and go with this. If not stillness, whatever helps them clear their heads and think deeper than they ever have.
After introspection, you can start to plan long-term. Those who fail to plan, plan to fail. This is something I repeat myself countless times when planning feels like a major hassle.
I hope this was helpful.
