Lbrp, Middle Pillar, And Kundalini Options

I recently on the advice of this site purchased a copy of MODERN MAGICK: Eleven Lessons on the High Magickal Arts.

I have begun practicing the LBRP and found it quite useful, leaving me with powerful shielding, a banished and clean atmposphere, and also a highly charged magickal / spiritual energy.

I then moved on to the Middle Pillar Ritual which as it stated in the text is quite similair to Eastern practices having to do with the chakra and kundalini, which i have been practicing for years now.

I was wondering, is there any particular reason / difference in experience that i should know about when practicing these rituals or would it perhaps better to continue with my chakra / kundalini work as a "MIddle Pillar" sort of ritual since i already know the technique.

Overall, the style of Ceremonial Magick is more complicated then i'm used to, but i think that having set up my altar, gotten some rudimentary tools, and begun practicing that aspects of it will be quite useful to add to my repitoire of other magickal styles.

Any comments, thoughts, advice, as i continue my practice?
(See my entry in the profile piece if you wish more background on the type of magick i am used to performing.)

I just wanted to add, that i have added the Middle Pillar Ritual, and the Circle of Light to my practice of the LBRP and have had great success. The amount of energy swiriling around my person was amazing to behold, and my pentagram visualizations have begun to flare and pulsate.

I have begun using the energy as Modern Magick describes to IOB Identify, Objectify, and Banish qualities within myself ... like worry that have been bothering me as of late. I am feeling very strong, and the element of earth has given me great stregth and resolve to face lifes current issues.

I am very impressed with the effects the Ceremonial Magick has had in such a short amount of time.

Thoughts?

On a similar line of thought (the QC is usually part of the LBRP, yes?) I'm beginning to suspect that the Qabbalistic Cross has helped me with dream recall somewhat, although that is a tentative theory. I've also had some central forehead acne which I think someone else here mentioned and associated with astral parasites; after I started doing the QC I noticed that went.

I'm not entirely sure what the QC does, but from its' effects on me I'm assuming it's primarily for energetic regulation. It seems to be an organisational thing more than anything else; putting different energies in their proper place. Can bym or any of the more experienced magicians here offer some more insight on this...am I on the right track in terms of what I think it's doing?
