It is always best to get initiated by a guru who has got the siddhi(perfection )of the mantra and is associated with a traditional Sri Vidya lineage . I was instructed by a guru who learnt under an adept Sri Vidya practitioner . When he initiated me into the mantra, It almost felt like a seed was implanted in my third eye which would germinate, sprout and mature with years of dedicated practice . I was initiated into panchadasi mantra first, followed by shodasi and finally the mahashodasi mantra . Usually the Bala mantra is given as the primary initiation . I am ever grateful to my guru for initiating me into this divine and ancient practice .The Sadhana of Sri Vidya can involve worship of the Sri chakra, detailed rituals, various Nyasas and poojas in addition to the saguna upasana(worship of the form of divine mother ) and most importantly the devotional and dedicated Japa(mental recital )of her powerful mantras . I have personally not done the poojas and elaborate rituals though they are taught in the lineage in which I was initiated . I mainly visualised the form of divine mother and chanted her divine mantra lakhs of times . I am not very good at sitting for long hours so I made it a practice to keep chanting Mahashodasi mantra throughout the day, although it is best to sit dedicatedly on your asana(spiritual seat) in your meditation room . Eventually the chanting continued in the dreams and was the first thought that popped up in my mind when I woke up .
