I didnt get the impression you have to chant with a specific sound. I think that was to help you locate the chakras. Once you locate them its more intuitive than that.

Bumping this. I know noone is special but it feels like that. After you've lived together for years isn't there hope for fixing things and being better than starting over with someone new. We really have unique circumstances where we recognize if we both learn to be okay on our own we can maybe get back together in a month or two.

Yea this is such a big dilemma for me i just really realy]ly hope it works out with this specific person after we take time to work on being more independent. and if you're right that there is no reason that makes sense I need to understand because thats my whole mindset right now is that im doing this for myself but also hopefully or us. If I actually need to fully let go of that possibility that's going to be a whole another thing mentally. We lived together for years and our problems aren't that bad they are things that we can totally overcome if we are more independent first.

@Roy Oh wow funny I just made a new post asking this. I just don't understand why you should never. That makes it sound like you're saying if the two people really love each other, and grow a lot separately, they can't ever overcome the problems that made it so they had to be apart. In my situation, we both hope we can get back together after we grow and work on our issues of codependency. Just happened a few days ago.

This can also be a big mistake and an unhealthy coping mechanism. Speaking from experience it just ruined the possibility to get back together. Don't do this until you feel okay on your own already, you should not use it to make you feel better or you will be codependent and needy. You need to be ok on your own. Don't do it until you know things are completely finished with the last person.

I did it for around a year and it was great, but i eventually lost motivation relative to other techniques because its so physically hard

I've been thinking about something and am wondering what you think. Here is what I'm thinking might be the case, whatever it is that your life purpose is, or whatever it is you want to bring to others specifically, you need to achieve for yourself first or at least you need to be working on it and have good progress and feel the benefits of this. My life purpose is to grow and cook healthy food in a way thats good for people and the planet. I find myself much more motivated to work on my health and enjoyment of the environment currently, the idea of having my own land in nature and living a healthy lifestyle growing my own food is currently much more motivating than the idea of selling food, which I still really want to do. So, do you think it is important for me to work on achieving healthy and living in nature for myself, then I will be more fulfilled and be better equipped to bring it to others? Obviously there are a lot of financial practical obstacles, but I am wondering about the general principle. THanks!

A few years ago I had been listening to actualized.org for a while and it had changed my life. I was doing around 10 different positive habits daily such as meditating for 2.5 hours. I took the life purpose course and started a permaculture farm and farmed for two seasons. I went on a couple meditation retreats, which I can't at all imagine doing now. Now I can't even get myself to meditate for 5 minutes a day repeatedly. I'm depressed. Just broke up with my girlfriend of 3 years which is absolutely terrible. I barely have enough energy just to keep up with my school work and haven't been taking life purpose action. I'm a junior in college studying environmental studies. I don't know how this happened and why I slowly just started exercising less willpower for personal development. I know to be happy I need to get back to how I used to be. How do I do this?

@integral It's easiest to eat lol Eyowey was talking about how its hard to eat when depressed. Fruit is better than nothing. Luckily I am eating normal now. @universe I'll try that again until I believe it haha

@Artsu My life purpose isn't showing much promise for financially sustaining me once I get out of college. Also though I've had issues with being depressed for a long time I can't get to the root of it. Although when I've had enlightenment experiences from psychedelics or retreats I've felt total relief from it.

@Average Investor Its been years since I've had those habits and I thought it was ego-backlash, I needed to take it slow. But I'm posting because I'm starting to get tired of that and doubt it. I had a bit of a moment doings lots of breathwork where I realized if my spiritual life was more in order I would mentally handle this breakup so much better. So I really wish I could do all those things right now it would help me not be so consumed by the grief. @Eyowey Yea the smoothies and fruit are keeping me alive. Recently I've been able to eat enough like half the days though, so not too bad.

Had a similar situation where she always wanted to put things under the rug and never come back to them. "I forced myself to stay with her trying to solve the problem and feel connected to each other again" this too You will build up resentment and ruin things over time if you don't do what you need and you end up giving and sacrificing more in unreciprocated efforts.

Like a new technique? But i've tried dozens. working on wim hoffing rn.

Even for young healthy people? and if after having heart issues from the vaccine, it's still less risky than being unvaccinated to get the booster? I had heart issues from the johnson and johnson and just got the pfizer booster because of mandates. But what if you already were and now need to get the booster?

@Thought Art Oh I didn't know that. Sometimes I take two pills. I've had such cool lucid dreams with it too.

beware huperzine nightmares and insomnia.

Anyone know if after having heart issues from the vaccine, it's still less risky than being unvaccinated? I had heart issues from the johnson and johnson and just got the pfizer booster because of mandates. So far no issues but it's been only a few hours. Dr Robert Malone: 1/2,700 people get myocarditis from vaccine (Joe rogan) CDC: 1/50,000 people get myocarditis from vaccine CDC: 1/684 people get myocarditis from covid (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7035e5.htm. ) (this is only with hospitalized people, so likely it is much less common) It's not very clear. Dr. Malone made an interesting case about the numbers of vaccine injuries being scewed,

I ate almonds this morning but from now on I will stand in solidarity with those that have tree nut allergies.

invest your money well & be contributive. Doesn't seem like an issue, Talk about it and be open you're trying to communicate in a relationship not pick up a girl with manipulation and false swagger.

I've had knee problems for as long as I can remember. For the past few months I've been trying to find a sitting position that doesn't hurt my knees. I have been completely unsuccessful, and am worried I might be damaging my knees long term. They continue to hurt even after I meditate. Also I stretch daily, and my hips are not tight (anymore) but my knees still hurt. Is sitting meditation necessarily better than standing or sitting in a chair? I know Leo said something about it in one video but it wasn't very conclusive. Please help. I would like to know how to sit without damaging my knees, or know if it is okay/just as effective to not sit.

I remember this guy from youtube. Maybe this is still good exposure.

That's crazy how serendipitous. Let me know if you come for a visit! I'll be in college here for 3 more years. Currently working on starting a university psychedelic club. SUA is a cool college in a class today we talked about science and religion and compared how they were structurally similar. Both beg the question/circular reasoning, similar structure of their creation stories. Seems like some good quality green maybe yellowish. Edit: @Leo Gura did you go to aliso niguel high school(right by me)? did you know about Soka university of america?

Just moved to Aliso Viejo. It's free and pretty spacious.

-Taking a public speaking class. -Need a 6 to 8 minute speech. Informational I want to do something I am passionate about, but at the same time, I need to be understood properly by a bunch of high-schoolers. They may not take kindly to spiral dynamics, but on the other hand I had loads of people tell me they loved my speech about my meditation retreat. Some topic I would like to do are -Jungian psychology -spiral dynamics (probably would be too controversial) -how to interact with emotions. -cult psychology. would try not to plagarize leo. None of these topic make me go like oh yea that's it. So I'm just hoping one of you will give me that idea lol. Sorry if this isn't an appropriate type post.

Got the johnson vaccine a week or two ago. M-rna scares me. Flu-like side effects for 2 days, fever fatigue headaches etc. Weird thing was that an hour after the vaccine (before any other side effects) I had a pinching tightness in my left chest (same side as shot) that lasted for a few hours. Then it came again more mildly for two days after in the evening. Now I feel totally find other than I never used to get headaches EVER and now I have gotten a few since the side effects ended.
