@now is forever ill look into it, thank you

Check out Forest. Its a timer that you set from 5 minutes to 2 hours and it grows a tree as you complete the time. The catch its that your not supposed to leave the app for distractions (like answering messages or watching youtube/instagram), if you do, the tree dies and the timer stops so you have to start over. Every session you complete you earn coins and with the coins you can buy limited edition trees. Good for studying or being productive for a period of time

What about adaptogens? I saw leo has a few books about it on his bookshelf. I was thinking about taking ashwaganda.

If your on the internet a lot, you probably are aware of the huge warnings in the past few days about climate change disaster. This forum is about improving consciousness, isnt being eco/saving the earth part of consciousness? I realize so much people, including myself, shit on this earth without thinking of consequences.. (using up gas and polluting and stuff, not literally taking a dump). I think we really need to start making changes, since most of us on here are teenagers or in our 20's.....the warning calculates that in 20 years the Earth will start to have uncontrollable forest fires, food shortages, etc. We going to be only 40. I think we would all like to live comfortably, and our children. Tips like using Buses, trains, and bikes instead of planes and cars. Or replacing your car with an electric one buying food locally installing solar panels, etc

@omTom the backlash that occurs the next few days, how do you best deal with that? anyone answer pls :D, ive been on a shamanic breathing streak recently, and i notice i become easily pissed/triggered/and scared the next few days, but im unsure of how to meet/deal with these emotions, i kinda just go about my day as i usually do, tolerating the emotions.

Thats living the dream! @Charlotte 100% agree. Raising our own consciousness will in turn make us more aware of this planet. Probably the best way to go about this issue

Can you explain?

@Erlend K that is terrifying oO.Oo

@Solace so true

Heres a good video on a place where meditation is required in school, people focus on happiness, and there is no starbucks or mcdonalds to be seen. Makes me so happy to see such places exist in the world.

i know shes doing too much, but just adopting a fifth of what she does can help

@Outer or nothing is determined @outlandish this is true and the only way we can make big progress @abundance i hope we can catch on fast enough this is a good video on the zero waste movement and how this one girl is battling climate change, even if she lives in a huge city like new york city

i have a huuge feelin' that to be stage coral one mustn't say im stage coral

this guy has very good tips on how to make your experience better stick to the once a week sessions, more than that can be too much. i wouldnt do more than 45 minutes at a time. make sure your breathing into your stomach, not your chest, and that your jaw is very relaxed, not tense up, so your mouth should be wide open. after youve completed a session, write down your experiences in a journal, all feelings and emotions. Usually the first try doesnt bring up anything significant. Try it for 2 months straight at least before quitting, but im pretty sure next week youll have even more emotions released than now.

i would suggest to eat pescatarian. The only way to get DHA is directly through fish, and DHA is needed to synthesize vitamin D and hormone secretion. Fish oil pills suck and usually are rancid.

i am near the end of the actuality video, specifically at the part where he says to forget about prayer and yoga and stuff, that its all horseshit. And earlier in the episode he mentioned similar statements. But a few months ago, he praised yoga to be above almost any method and something along the lines of 'this will change your life like nothing else' and on this forum always mentions to do yoga. Now in this video he says forget about all that. How can we trust someone who contradicts himself a lot. Hes done this in the past too with other concepts. Thoughts?

@Leo-Tzu i know but he said that for many, many topics

its uncovering your "shadow" aka bringing light to all of your supressed/repressed emotions that build up inside of you during your life. Many spiritual teachers (and doctors are starting to) think that all diseases are a result of the accumulation of these suppresed emotions, so its important to uncover them. Its also vital for your mental well being.

ahaha ':D read my journal on here about that jk, but yeah i have social anxiety that started from childhood due to being hyper. Im restarting shadow work because it helped me so much 6 months ago, but i had to stop because of exams for uni. The Vata cold hands and feet is also annoying, which i have yet to find a way to cure that. DO you follow the Kapha diet? Does it help?

yea i got some books on it Im Vata

nice to have ya back

@Shiva very good story

i watched it just now, and yes i can see it now, i'm taking everything word for word literally. It must be my over-intellectual type of thinking thats getting in the way.. its realyl simple, we just overcomplicate everything A lot.

i was thinking maybe the yoga and meditation techniques videos are aimed at "lower" spiral dynamic stages, like green or orange-green mix (because their mind currently works by understanding concepts) whereas "higher" levels will transcend these techniques, so understanding actuality versus concept is more aimed at stage yellow-ers?
