All of these are good for their own reasons, but other than prayer, none of them will come close to the level of superpowers.

Affirmations: Higher self-esteem, stress reduction, resilience. You have to believe them of course, and the further they are from your beliefs, the less likely they will work.
Subliminal Audios: Small possible mood/motivation effects (but the evidence is extremely weak on it working, mostly just YouTube nonsense for hits/likes).
Lucid Dreaming: A great way to reduce nightmares and stress, possibly improve creativity, and can lead to revelations in your own life that you could've figured out on your own with meditation.
Meditation: Great stress reduction, better focus and emotional health when done properly and consistently.
Qi Cultivation: Not real, everything about it falls into the other categories listed here.
Rituals/Pacts: Sense of belonging, some reduced anxiety (as long as it doesn't induce stress itself), increased confidence if you believe in it, and social bonding if you participate with others.

Prayer: The big one, really. Paired with meditation, the comfort, stress reduction, community support if you find a good community, and general feeling of "rightness" is unmatched.

Mostly irrelevant.

You need genes to even be capable of having certain thoughts / entering certain realms and after that - you need to hold on to them, but not in a negative sense, just as in APPRECIATE them. Which means action or at least deep contemplation/meditation. The thoughts will arise spontaneously just from living life at all. Pay attention, listen and keep an open mind. reduce noise, allow for the signal to be received. Once received, don't just get distracted the next moment - APPRECIATE!

Meditation and lucid dreaming are OP, but natural meditation, not from a cerebral reason or because you think it will help you achieve some goal.

The question is: what are you going to do when the heavens descends on you.....

Huh, what are you going to do then ...
