Manifesting your dreams through Ancient Wisdom and Ceremony is really about consistency. It is important to pay attention to the questions of why, where, when and how while you are chanting, lighting incense or doing any of the rituals you normally do when trying to achieve a specific end result. It is the consistent manner in which you do the ceremony that allows the goal or objective to become manifested into your everyday life.
Without consistency you cannot build upon the Chi (energy or life force) that is necessary to manifest your desires. So with this in mind, if you chant you should do so by following a predetermined schedule which is convenient to your daily commitments. If you light incense and meditate follow a regimine in order to create consistancy in your life. Over time, your personal ceremony will gather momentum and you will experience pronounced energy in regards to attaining your specific life goals.
I light my incense the same time everyday. This time is usually 1 hour before I am going to retire, as I like to purify the room to ensure a restful sleep and subtle dream state. If you are in the ceremony of taking a salt bath then take it the same day each week or on the same days each week and you will notice more positive results.

Think of this in a way like the Music of the Spheres, this is what I refer to as the beautiful synchronistic manner in which the planets of our Solar System revolve around the Sun. When the planets do so, you are actually witnessing the constancy in their ceremonial dance. There is a consistency in all the apsects of Nature, as if Nature were a symphony being led by the baton of an unforseen Maestro!
Namaste,
