Physical exercise while reciting spells/rituals from memory is a powerful combination. That noted, performing the Headless Rite on a treadmill may lead to imbalance that manifests as unexpected health problems. As with anything finding balance and middle way is the key to long term success. My approach has a Saturnian focus and part of that includes re-discovering that – in addition to hard work - restriction and limitations have important roles to play.
Thank you for providing your thoughts and experiences on this.
Its interesting that you should mention disturbances to the patterns of life that have occurred while finding balance, however. I've noticed a similar effect in my personal life. Using these prayers while engaging in relationships or other things affected by the prayers themselves can drastically affect the process and how that evolves.
Just recently, in relation to using the Headless Rite and other ritual practices which do similar things, I found that I needed to make changes to my friendships around me in response to my success. Its been pretty interesting to see friends say things like "wow, you've become a new person" in response to my efforts, as the effect is clearly palpable. That destabilizes things a bit while being a means of finding self and creating changes to that structure.
That's where Saturn energy is coming up most for me, right now. I'm realigning my relationships with others around my relationship with self. Its productive while sustaining my ability to keep bringing my A game to my meaningful personal relationships.
