Paimon led me into incorporating this as part of my daily regimine of spiritual practices. I just performed it fluently for the first time today and WOW i feel so light and even more comfortable in my own skin. Anyone here utilize this exercise? What are your experiences with it?

Killer! When I first started practicing it was one of my go-to rituals, but has since been replaced by the celestial lotis/shem operation.
Are you drawing the elemental or the planetary hexagrams?

Elemental to start with. For now im just using it as part of my general self development, so im not sure if i will utilize the GRH or not. So can you tell me what is the celestial lotus/shem operation?

Here’s my version of the celestial lotus. Its based on a Damien Echols ritual that he based off an even older ritual called the shem operation.
I base my elemental correspondences off the original ritual the LBRP was derived from, so the ritual is performed facing North, with Michael of Fire to the east and Raphael of Air to the South.
My only original contribution is placing the four royal stars around the final ring, with inspiration coming again from Echols.
I do the ritual exactly as diagramed, but if you wanted to truly call it the “Shem” operation, you would need to also invoke the 72 Shem angels, 6 corresponding to each Zodiacal sphere. Just remember that most lists start in Aries, while in this version you will start with Capricorn and end with Cancer.
Other than that evoke everything in the order that feels natural to you.
