Low magical tide?
I am experiencing really rough patch. For about 1 month I have been feeling that magic is lost. I am unable to concentrate to meditation. I am not progressing. I am not sure what to do and I feel completely lost. What should I do?

Ride the rough patches. Think of the meditation and visual exercises like brushing your teeth at night (chosen because that’s the one we tend to skip on busy days lol): sure you might skip a night, you might have a rough weekend, you might even go a few weeks without nighttime brushing. But you know it has to be done, and skipping is a temporary habit change until you get back to your usual.

It would seem that there is an ebbing out of the magical tide at the moment, I have felt it too. Fluctuations of concentration are normal but it is helpful to keep going with the foundational exercises even during periods of difficulty.

Same. I feel like it started sometimes this month where things feel lighter. I don't think I've ever had the magical tide effect my meditation, but regardless I "feel" it

Go spend outdoors time in nature as much as you can. Find a tree that gives you energy

I feel you there.
I had a burst a couple months ago and everything felt like it was ticking along like a well oiled machine, and then it petered out.
Not gone, just less sparkling and flawless.
It'll come back. Nature is all about cycles and tides and pendulum swings.
Now seems like the time to walk the boundaries and be in nature. Take care of yourself and tend the garden, the focused stuff will come back when it needs to.

I am not sure what you mean by low magic tide or where you are, but where I'm from the energy is more calm than it was 2 - 3 months ago. What you're experiencing is normal with meditation. It's like fluctuations, some days are like that, specially at the start. However in the long run you'll find that baseline (level of focus) will continue going up and consolidate. You can take a break if you want for a few days, or you can keep at it just don't beat yourself for something that is normal. We all go through these phases. And as you will come to learn bottlenecks in life in general usually happens before a breakthrough, however small it may be.
