When a person decides to move along the path of mindfulness, the question often arises: where to begin? How not to get lost in the multitude of techniques, courses, teachings, and not scatter energy into emptiness?
The answer lies in structure. A practice plan helps build a system where each element has its place and leads to a result.
In the first part of the article on this topic, we examined practices suitable for everyone, both beginners in transformation and those advanced in the spiritual sphere.
This article will explore concepts such as transformational and spiritual practices. Read about what distinguishes them from each other, why you should start working on yourself with basic aspects, and only then move to the spiritual level.
Transformational Practices: Basic Level
Where to Begin — Dealing with Pain
First and foremost, work should begin step by step, by finally dealing with your pain.
There are many different methods here: working with a psychologist, psychotherapist (individual work), or transformational courses that help you go through transformation in a safe environment.
It is important to eat the elephant piece by piece, specifically distinguishing what you are ready to handle now, rather than trying to grab everything at once.
The principle of step-by-step action applies here, one step at a time. It is important to focus on something significant and primary.
Those who have recently come to “Keys to Mastery” make a major strategic mistake by trying to grasp absolutely everything. They often write: “I’m a beginner, where to start, advise me, recommend something.” And no explanations. As if it were a request to a psychic or a crystal ball — look and tell me.
Which of you knows what exactly you need right now, what you want to change in your life? What are you truly ready to face?
These key points are usually overlooked.
The meaning lies in a step-by-step path. You should not jump to the spiritual level if you are a beginner, if, for example, the topic of basic needs has not been worked through.
Here it is, the specific problem; you look for tools to deal with it and work in that direction.
The same goes for transformation. It is important to understand, not just to see, but to feel readiness.

Basic courses of the Keys of Mastery Training Center
We have three basic courses that help deal with pain:
- “Dance with the Shadow 4.0” — working with shadow aspects. Spiritual development is about returning to your whole self. And you cannot become whole while your shadow aspects from the subconscious control you.
- “Acceptance Workshop” — a course on how to learn to accept. And oddly enough, we start there not with some beautiful practices, but with working on your thoughts and beliefs.
- “Self-Worth” — a course that helps shift focus from external evaluations inward.
It was there that this interesting effect of jumping over levels was revealed, when people, having heard a lot about Light, unconditional love, acceptance, gratitude, forgiveness, letting go, try to immediately work on the spiritual level, bypassing the basics.
An unprepared person tries to do all of this at once, and as a result, ends up on an endless swing. One moment they are soaring, everything is super, great, but as soon as they get sick, or run out of resources, or hear bad news, it’s all over — they crash. And all because the basement hasn’t been cleaned out. And what is in that basement?
Other people’s opinions, evaluations, and claims.
No matter what you listen to, no matter what practices you do, if your focus of attention is maximally turned outward: if you are still affected by what people say about you, think about you, how you are evaluated, approved or disapproved — you will still slide back down.
This is a powerful anchor that holds you back.
When you are ready to deal with this — this is a topic of transformation. It is not necessary to come to us or to go into group formats at all; they are not for everyone; it could also be individual work.
Spiritual Practices: Advanced Level
Systems We Work With
When the basement is cleaned out, there are no major pain points left, you are in acceptance of your parents, your past, your children, your family, you are in a certain state of acceptance, balance, harmony, the next stage begins.
This is the moment when you switch from the personal, individual to something greater, to helping the world, what is called service.
Here you can already follow a purely spiritual path.
For this, we have so-called advanced courses:
- “Energy Upgrade”
- “Tools of Evolution 2.0” (will be re-recorded in 2026)
- “Workshop on Ascension Sites” (will be re-recorded in 2026)
At one time, I came across Joshua David Stone’s “The Ascension Manual.” The spiritual theme was my thing, and I grabbed it with enthusiasm. It contained a huge amount of things to do on the path of Ascension — when you transition into the 5th dimension while in the body — but it didn’t explain HOW to do them.
When we were designing our advanced courses, I extracted several systems from it.
One of the systems is Places of Ascension.
Like any woman, I am a fan of passive practices, where you don’t have to work hard but can do something in a more relaxed mode.
The essence is this — during sleep or throughout the day, you travel to a specific vibrational place located at the level of the 5th dimension, and there you eat, cook, work, and so on. Meanwhile, all your bodies are bathed and irradiated with certain high-vibrational streams.
I call this enlightenment for the lazy. There is no theory, only the basics — what these places are, where they are located, how to use them, and then practice.
Another system is the energy upgrade.
For interacting with the 3D world, we have an energy system consisting of 7 chakras (in some systems — 12), including the chakra under the feet. This is sufficient for functioning within the third dimension.
With this system, a person can move from the level of survival to the level of conscious contact with Higher Powers. By opening the upper chakras, we activate the “antenna” — a communication channel with angels, guides, and curators. This is the transition to the next stage of development.
If you are oriented toward life in 4D — you need the appropriate tools. And if you strive not just to adapt, but to manifest the principles of the fifth dimension in this world — Love, Light, unity — then your energy system must be activated at the 5D level. It is then that the so-called “heaven on Earth” can manifest through you.
What is actually happening in practice? The energy passing through the third-dimensional chakras begins to change its frequency — first to the 4D level, and then to 5D. These changes affect everyone because we are in a period of mass transition. It is no longer possible to ignore this.
But it is important not just to activate new centers — it is important to start applying these energies, it is necessary to “actualize” — not just to feel that something is built above you, but to truly use it in everyday life.
When you embark on the path of spiritual growth, you ultimately return to people — to carry the Light, to share knowledge, to change the space around you. This is no longer about personal ambitions and the desire for “more for yourself.” It is about forming a field of harmony, love, and balance around you. You do not re-educate others, but you yourself become a source of Light, goodness, and inner balance — and through this, you influence the world.
We also have a course, “The Tool of Evolution” — working with vibrations and vibrational centers. This is one of the advanced courses, which, like all the others, was conceived as part of a unified system.
Each course reveals its own facet: somewhere the emphasis is on energy, somewhere on vibrations, somewhere on Light and the expansion of consciousness. But all of this is a single process of evolutionary growth.
In 2026, we plan to re-record two advanced courses: “Tools of Evolution” and “Workshop on Places of Ascension.”
The Mistake of Jumping Straight to the Spiritual Level
I recently noticed an interesting feature. We have clients who have completed all the advanced courses, but the foundation has not been worked through.
Although it is assumed that they are already experienced practitioners, as I call them, and their foundation is fully worked through, work on the flows shows that this is not the case.
Therefore, if someone considers themselves advanced and experienced but has not worked, for example, with integrating their shadow aspects or struggles with acceptance, your task is to return to the basics.
Because otherwise it is like tying a rubber band: you rise higher and higher, but something still holds you from below, and at a moment of weakness, it pulls you back.
To avoid being pulled back time and again, you need to remove what that rubber band is attached to.
First, you help balance your own ego-personality to spend more time in a harmonious, calm state, so that you are not constantly dragged down. This is an important step.
Next, you begin working on anchoring yourself in these good states, expanding them, and bringing light and goodness into the world.
Different stages require different tools. You should not jump straight to the next level. It is important to clearly understand that if you have any pain points or unprocessed traumas, you will have to return to them. This is exactly what pulls you down in moments of failure.
I am not dictating the sequence to follow. You can start wherever you like, but some points will need to be revisited time and again.
I believe you can move on to advanced courses only when the mind is calmed, when you have no remaining questions, and when you trust what you feel. Because there is no informative part there to convince or explain things to you.
In my view, the most valuable thing is not information or certain practices, but a specific system you can work with.
In its time, I was impressed by David Stone, because from his developments, one could create a system for working in the field of spirituality.

There are many tools, but to apply them and build your own work plans, you need to understand what, why, and how they combine. But most importantly, you need to understand your own request, because if you don’t have one, you won’t use anything.
At what level did you start your journey — with transformational practices or did you immediately go into spiritual ones?
