Any practice that helps you, is by its nature a good practice.

It doesn't matter if it originates from a different school of the Dharma or if it is something you have come up with yourself, because the Dharma does not have a boundary.

If it is done in the spirit of seeking truth, and alleviation of suffering then it is a good practice.

— DEFEATING MĀRA — (pt.4) . The Maha Parinirvāṇa Sutra - chapter 4 . There are also people who are not naturally bold but pretend to be so by grabbing a bow, a sword, or some kind of weapon. Having thus equipped themselves, they march up to the troops [facing battle] and shout in a loud voice: “Do not fear those people! If they look at you and see you have no fear of them, you can be assured that before long they will break ranks and run like thieving dogs.” . Good man, the Tathāgata speaks to the śrāvakas in the same way: DO NOT FEAR MĀRA PĀPĪYAS! IF MĀRA PĀPĪYAS TRANSFORMS HIMSELF INTO THE BODY OF A BUDDHA AND COMES TO WHERE YOU ARE, YOU MUST RESOLVE WITH FIRMNESS OF MIND TO DEFEAT THAT DEMON. At that point Māra will then lose heart, no longer enjoying [his pursuit of you], and go away. . Good man, just as a person of strength does not follow the ways of others, so it is with the student of the Mahāyāna who, upon hearing the discourses in various abstruse texts, enjoys them and does not recoil in fear. Why is this so? Because people who study the Mahāyāna in this way have in the past made offerings to, showed respect for, and paid obeisance to innumerable, trillions of buddhas. So even if there were innumerable hundreds of billions of Māra-led hordes desperate to seize them by intimidation or flattery, [students of the Mahāyāna] would ultimately face those situations without fear. .
