(To fully engage with the Nakshatra portion of the course, I recommend setting aside 60 minutes each day for reading, note-taking, and reflection. Even just 20 minutes of focused note-taking will allow you to steadily progress through all 27 Nakshatras over the six months, building both knowledge and confidence in your practice.)
