One thing I have found in the past few decades is that very few places address the ghost in the room:
It's not just reading about magic that makes you an effective practitioner.
It's what you eat, how you exercise, how you meditate, what your daily practice looks like
So the question is this: What do you do to make yourself more effective?
For me?
I recently started moving more. My full time job is very big brain heavy, so I need to move my body regularly to get some balance. Squats, dumbells, etc.
Some books and grimoires recommend that you workout and hone you body as much as you hone your mind, and I am taking that to heart
I saw a nutritionist to ensure I am getting the proper nutrients for what I eat.
As a part of my daily practice, I cook food with whole ingredients and fewer processed things (but also recognize that sometimes you just want a twinkie, darnit)
I do not usually get to meditate for very long, so in the shower i do my offerings of energy and cleanse my aura. 5 minutes is better than nothing and then I can do meditation during yoga or my knitting/weaving/gardening. It's all quieting the mind, afterall.
Do you have any recommendations for how you balance the magic practice with the magically mundane so that it is all a path of growth?
