Since you're going down this road, I highly recommend
The Crimson Curtain, especially the
Rooting Meditation and the
Foci Exercise. That'll give you a good feel for what this path is like. And I know you said a week but I'd say go a full 30 days. That's about how long it'll take to see results. You'll learn things about yourself you couldn't fathom (or just didn't wanna look at) and you're not gonna get a good feel for what's really going on inside you unless you give it time to play out. The energy is wonderful but it's also revealing-it's not for the faint of heart. It takes a lot of work.
You wanna chat about this feel free to hit me up. I'm pretty new myself but I've got enough experience under my belt to give you a rundown of the basics.
