Your basic demeanor in these practices, is this: the adult persona presented by the ego/intellect is out to the side, and the child, the magical child, the Wondering child, is allowed to be present.
The Skill-Set
Please gain some proficiency in your Practice before you put together your first Regimen. The Practice is a skill-set that you develop through proving to yourself, in the physical world, that you have the power and knowledge to create. I suggest you do not set yourself up for failure here. Particularly if this is one of your favorite dysfunctions, to create failure. Please take it slow. Methodical and slow is the best way to go to get your positive results. Then remember, even though the positive feedback from your Ritual is small, perhaps insignificant in comparison to what you see as your Best Case Scenario, do acknowledge this signal with true gratitude and humility. For it is an indicator that you ARE moving toward your goal. The Universe is responding to your overtures. You are on your way.
