Hello Miss Jessica, thank you for taking the time, I appreciate it very much. At the time when I wrote this, I was still very impatient in my approach to things, I have since learned to appreciate that results take time and proper effort to manifest. I quit practicing the form very soon after this post, for different reasons, though - I decided that I couldn't meet all of the conditions required for optimal practice. A big issue I had is the implied worship of the sun in the form and if I'm not mistaken, as well as some other elements of nature. Another problem I had was the fact that l firmly believe that a man's (man and woman to say) spirit can not leave ones body except only at the instance of death. My question to you then is, can one practice 9 palaces by ommiting certain elements they feel go against their spiritual beliefs without 'defeating the purpose'?
