Returning to practice, interested in the advice of the community.

[Evaris]

The past decade or so, barring a few more lucid moments, I have found myself detached from spiritual / magickal / metaphysical practices. This past month I have been able to return to more regular practice - reading back on books and methodologies of chaos magick, new age energy work, and East Asian religious and esoteric practices most heavily. In general though, I suppose I'm lacking a true... direction. I know I need to reconnect to parts of myself, and the world, especially the spiritual parts therein - but I am uncertain as to the best path of new knowledge, or, on which I should review most heavily of my own limited collection so as to take the second step in returning to the path, as it were.

At the moment, I have mostly just focused on returning to daily prayers, meditation, and reviewing of aforementioned Chaos Magick, Shinto, Buddhist, and Taoist books. I'm on my third re-read of Phil Hine's Condensed Chaos and second re-read of Jan Fries' Visual Magick, because I find them the most readable of the base-level Chaos Magick books, and of more traditional studies I recently started a book on Shingon Buddhism.

I'm not certain if I'm taking the right steps, or there is something else that would be recommended for mindset/discipline within practice that might be recommended - or perhaps just a step in a different direction that might be recommended by those more established in their own practice. Regardless, I just hoped I might be able to get some degree of advice beyond what I'm already doing - if what I was doing was a good idea, I missed something... etc.
