I am unfortunately in a hard period of my life right now. I am in a difficult stem degree and I work full time. I have very limited time.
I am looking to fully open my chakras while I finish my degree. This way when I have more time I can contribute more to the JOS in a more advanced state. Exactly how much time would you recommend that I meditate on each chakra every day to fully open them up? I know this must be consistent for several years to open them fully. I don't want to do let's say 2 muninites of each chakra every day and make no progress in 3 years for example.
Having limited time, especially under these heavy circumstances, is definitely a burden, but not an impossible one.
Opening the chakras is a continuous process, and what the beginner definition of open refers to is just getting an energy flow through them. A more advanced definition involves pruning the larger karmic obstacles and dirt, and this is something you don't have to immediately concern yourself with.
Do the opening meditations as described, and simultaneous and after to this, continue to clean them well. Within a limited time span, continuous cleaning will go a long way at development and attainment of power.
Once the chakra opening is complete, then you can switch to basic forms of empowerment, such as spinning or vibrating mantras on the chakras. This will give another aspect of basic advancement and empowerment.
Although it can be difficult, concentration on this can somewhat substitute for void meditation, visualization, and astral sight, as you are engaging these whilst focusing on the meditation itself. However, as a beginner, you will want to find some separate time for this, such as 5 minutes.
Protection is also important. As you are time limited, you can chant a protective mantra while doing some basic computer work. This splits your attention and is not ideal, but is time efficient. You can chant Algiz while reading, and this will raise a decent amount of energy. Then you can stop and focus on directing this towards its defensive objectives. This is a basic element of protection from your soul from any negativity.
Similarly, you can use this method to raise a large amount of cleaning energy, like with the Surya mantra, which you then turn onto that area of your soul. Make no mistake: You won't generate as much power as if you were fully focusing, but at least you will generate more power than nothing.
Lastly, and not to overwhelm you, but balance of the soul needs to be considered. With time constraints, I would recommend alternate nose breathing. This goes a long way when done over time, and it can be done within the span of 5 or 10 minutes.
So, overall you are looking at perhaps 30-40 minutes, which you can space throughout the day. Although simple, it also hits all the basics, and in this way it can bring a degree of advancement that is stable and meaningful.
