The industry is very orange right now. What would green, yellow, and turquoise film-making look like? Examples?

Which one should I start with?

I'm in school and have winter break coming up, so I am going to do my first meditation retreat. My ideal would be to do 4 (1 hour) strong determination sits a day, and spend the rest in meditation in a comfortable position meditating. I will also journal & continue to do do kriya yoga daily. I'm just gonna do it in my parents basement since that's where I live since I'm a kid. Background: I've been meditating daily for 4 months. I'm at 30 min per day minimum and it grinds my gears to do one hour sds. My highest is 1:15. I've been doing kriya for about 3 weeks. I have blocked out a 5 day period in which I could do this. Doing all 5 sounds daunting. My question is, how many days should I do? I could go with 2 at a minimum and all 5 if I really want to go wild, or maybe I could just go as long as I can? but then without commitment I feel like I would always be debating whether or not to quit. How long was your first retreat? What were your conditions? What should I do? @Leo Gura would appreciate your input. Thanks y'all

This technique is going great! Is it normal for it to take 20 minutes to be able to move my hands after?

addiction to stimulation and unhealthy food. bad sleep patterns

Yes. I am on the first kriya lesson(KP1). I have this problem with ujjayi pranayama and KP1. I think it's caused by the fact that you need oxygen, and going over 25 seconds would cause you to gasp for air. I reccomend balancing it out e.g. 12.5 second for each. Over time i've heard you will be able to go the full length. I also experience only being able to do a few ujjayi's before gasping for air, but this morning I notice some improvement. especially from when I re-started Kriya 2 weeks ago

I did it 6 months ago and got next to nothing. I did it for the second time yesterday and I'm going to do it once a weekend. I did 28 minutes(couldn't make 30). I felt waves of energy pulsing through my body and especially my hands. I felt a deep sense of love and breathing was the most pleasurable thing, it felt like I could breath very deep and fully. It felt similar to tripping. After 20 minutes I felt normal again. I am currently having an ego backlash. I realized that if I keep meditating I will feel super good in the long term.

I think this practice is right for you.

@Joseph Maynor What is coral?

This would be nice as we approach the final stretches of No Nut November.

I think this would have a lot to do with the spiral dynamics application video leo was talking about. Maybe he will make a mega thread? this is a great idea

@Leo Gura Could you make these type of videos for your blog?

Thank you

Just like someone who gets a crazy experience from reiki and would therefore benefit from Kriya, Would you benefit from bioenergetics due to this experience of body spontaneity? Probably.

Someone should right a book of lists of metaphors like this

me too.

@Leo Gura Would you mind sharing your formula for knocking out a cold you mentioned in your nootropics video? I'm being hit with a nasty cold right now

Thank you! thats good

I think I'm green and yellow. As I find myself in more yellow territory it gets terribly lonely. I use that loneliness to try and move into turquoise, such as by contemplating it, watching the emotion, and trying to get to the core of it. Spiritual purification

I haven't gotten to that part yet. What people embody your values?

I'm in high school and I bought the course last weekend. I've spent about 20 hours working on it. I highly recommend you buy it. High school is definitely the ideal time.(If not earlier, maybe with guidance) You can always keep it for later and the ideas are critical to know even if you don't want to take action yet, but just to plan out your life. I think that with the few years in high school, if you really work at it, you can put yourself in such a good position by the time you graduate while everyone else is robotically getting a bad job or going to college for something they don't like.

I lucid dreamed a few times a year and since I started meditating and journaling my dreams I have them about once a week. I try to do self inquiry but that never seems to lead to anything.

That's definitely a sign that what you're doing is working

I'm in a similar situation and working on finding my life purpose on the weekends, while spending the week on academics. I recommend balance, don't give up your safety net unless you have a plan or know your life purpose

When I do SDS I get lots of pain and suffering and if I'm able to go long enough it turns into bliss and then cycles of pain and bliss. If you do a really long SDS you are pretty much guaranteed to feel bliss at some point
