Along the path to enlightenment, you are going to experience speed-bumps. It's just the Universe reminding you, stop and smell the roses once in a while. No matter how hard you push to achieve a career in metaphysics, remember, you are a spiritual being having a human experience. The body has to be cared for, just as the mind must be cleared. Day to day issues like paying the bills and shopping for food.
Life goes on.
In all dimensions. Case in point. The tortoise and the hare. You will burn out if you don't apply some sort of daily ritual. The ritual of taking care of the healing vessel.
