Bump. Still looking for recommendations, not discussions. 🙏

I was considering of hopping into the life of a True Yogi. Well as much as I can living in the city. Has anyone read any good books on how to be a yogi? How to live a lifestyle etc. Would be great if you could share some good books. Thank you ♥♥♥

@ici you are still lost in mind and meaning of thoughts. This is why you are stuck and God "doesn't" Love you ❤️ Practice karma burning sadhana and eventually your mind, which is poisoned with meanings, will heal and you will feel Love. 🙏

@thurT semen retention is VERY powerful, but quite stupid if you don't practice any yoga asanas with deep breathing. You need to move that sexual energy through your body which you accumulate in order to feel anything. If you don't do it, this sexual energy will stagnante in one spot (svadhisthana chakra center) you could even feel pain in your lover back/spine and you will need to release this tention through ejaculation. Don't just mirror what these masters are doing, look more deeply into, just retention is one thing, but there are way more things involved in this practice which these masters PRACTICED! There are way more benefits to this retention than just seeing Truth or being more conscious. Your energy levels will be really high, you won't feel lethargic, you will have way more energy in the morning To just jump out of bed, you will have the power to move the world, as they say. And this energy improvement will also improve your mood! Confidence will Sky rocket. Eyesight will improve (as long as you have a good diet and don't smoke/vape) See these benefits don't come with only semen retention, it requires diet, spiritual practice, asanas and all other sorts of stuff. It's not just simple as holding in your nut. It's a spiritual lifestyle + semen retention which gives you these amazing benefits.

Bump 🙏

This resonates so much. Thank you! 🙏❤️ I'am Love. Thank you for these tips. 🙏❤️

@Davino So beautiful, so poetic. ♥♥♥

This. ♥♥♥

@Buck Edwards when I started to get some gains and understanding while doing my yoga practices I started to understand what sadhguru actually is trying to say. It's so simple yet the average person cannot grock it. Isha foundation is huge and probably has its own problems which every organization has. By the way you don't need to search if a guru is flawed or not, everyone is and will be flawed to a degree. Also notice how a couple of videos can destabilize your view on a person.

Your mind is in the way of absolute Love. You got the correct answer, but immediately the mind conflicts this Truth with it's bullshit reasoning. Trust what you experience more than what your mind tells you. Everything that the mind comes up is just hallucination. Experience is king. You need to clearly distinguish between the two. 🙏❤️

@James123 oh yes it is. It always brings tears to my eyes whenever I fall in love with reality. It comes and goes, but I feel that one day it will stay. 🙏❤️

Love is the last step towards God.

@Paul5480 is he in your pocket? 😉

@Javfly33 Thank you, this motivates me to take it more seriously.

@StarStruck indeed, the more conscious I become the more idiots I see on this forum the less I want to indulge myself in it. You can just immediately notice people who see clearly vs those who are still corrupted.

@Javfly33 I'm happy because if I don't end birth/life cycles in this lifetime I will be born in a better place with all of the karma that I accumulate in this lifetime 🙏❤️

@Majed you are so wrong. If you hold your sexual desires for some time you will eventually go and talk to women/men. That's the point of all of this. Using porn you fuck up your mind and reward centers that you just ignore actual sexual partners and scapegoat to porn. So few people understand this problem of porn and what it does. I could go on and on about this, but I think the internet if full of reasons why it's bad. I'm now so conscious and notice men who fucked up their reality by watching porn. It's just disgusting to see how a grown man can react sexualy after seeing a girl. Its not normal, you can just notice that its porn induced. You can just see how his reality is warped and backwards. He can't just look at a woman/girl for what she is without getting all sexual and aroused. That part of the person's reality is twisted to the point where he looks sick in the mind. But this is so common now that's it's being normalized. After I've done some serious yoga work I just can't look at a girl sexualy. Yes I can have sex with women, but that's not what interests me in the first place. You start to look for well developed women who have morals/high values. You no longer use women to your advantage if they are drunk or high on weed and just wanna fuck. You have to be smart enough to understand that it's a trap and you will feel bad after that. You foresee this instantly.

@Someone here everything is an illusion, that's the Truth. You are still kind of stuck in this thinking that if it's not real, then why do anything. I can sympathize with you on this as it is very cripling. Understand that you yourself are an illusion. Even the experience you have (which feels real) of the illusion is a part of the grand illusion. You have to ground yourself in this illusion and understand that it's very "real." If everything is an illusion, you have to learn how to navigate and thrive in it no matter the meaning behind it. These insights can be quite cripling to people. As it was for myself too. But later you understand that it's stupid to just look at it like an illusion and do nothing. I mean you can, if you choose to, but there are way better things to create out of this illusion.🙏❤️

For a reality to exist it needed only one thing - Love. 🙏❤️ sometimes I see so much Love in the world it makes me dysfunctional.

@Recursoinominado there are videos on patreon, but only in my native language. @James123 God just is. Everywhere and in everything. In your thoughts, in your breath, in your hearing and even in your pocket. The infinite dream, infinite imagination, infinite creation so complex but yet so easy and smooth you can only miss seeing.

I've been practicing yoga for quite some time now with aditional meditation techniques and kriyas. And I can say, from my personal experience, it's like im on LSD 24/7, not the high doses ofcourse. The mind is quieter, my field of view sort of expanded, eye sight is much improved, the vividnes of colors are turned to FULL HD. Reality is like looking at a samsung phone which had way more vibrant colors. The insights, the ability to be aware constantly is just the same as I remember taking LSD/Mushrooms. The ability to ACTUALY LOVE everyone is present. Everyone is beautiful and complete in their way. I love little the kids (no p3do haha), the teens, the mature and the old people. The joy of helping others without any return is out of this world. It's like a purpose on it's own. Seeing the shit I have to go through and actualy not being afraid to go there. Seeing/being aware that the mind is very illusory if I start to think (this shit fking is scary and I still need some time to research this and actually be aware of how it's happening and what to do with it, tips would be greatly appreciated). Understanding how much programing/limiting beliefs/thinking I have and how much I still got to burn off. Actually being aware of the negative things that I indulged myself in, smoking/porn/stupid short content videos etc. That shit flew out the window. Being aware of how my diet affects my own consciousness/awareness. Also my charisma improved +1000%, maybe its because now im so Loving. My personal happiness is out of this world - Im just happy without any reason. So im kinda on the point/level where slowly everything started to get fixed. Ofcourse it will take a long ass time, and it's realy hard, but im finally getting somewhere. It feels like my ego became a spreader of Joy, Love and compasion and it does comply with it. Sort of like the ego kinda started cooperating. I don't even know how deep this psychedelic state is going to be if I will keep a daily practice. Some days Im not quite ready for it LOL.

*An update on my status* So in the past few weeks I've still been in this permanent psychedelic state and now I'm somewhat convinced that yoga helps to stimulate something in the brain which creates psychedelics. Im saying this because I've never experienced such deep understanding even while on psychedelics. But it comes and goes, you sort of get sucked in these samadhi moments at random times throughout the day. I had this moment where I understood that everything is an illusion created by God. Even the understanding itself was an illusion, sort of a strange loop moment. This hit so deep to the point where I wasn't even functioning in life properly. To see such Truth while being sober hits different. And now what? I've seen Truth for what it is, this was sort of my Ego's goal this whole time, to see/experience/know Truth. What should I do now, I asked God. And today I had this insight where I was working and it just hit me - CHOP WOOD, CARRY WATER. Yes everything is an illusion, but in the mean time EVERYTHING it's REAL as it could be. This illusion is interacting with itself in infinite ways and Im in the middle of everything. It's amazing what yoga can do to you. No wonder these yogi's know their stuff.

@Ayham Mai Ram Yoga. It's exclusive to my guru. We perform "Vinyasa asanas" which means linking movement with breath. You breathe in and breathe out in certain times and also hold bandhas. And I'am still on the BASIC level of the practice. There is an Advanced. Advanced II and Masters. The advanced ones change in asanas and it's more breathing and deepening the relaxation in the asana. Which is nuts, I've tried one class and it's too powerful for me now. My guru said that the first two years are Transformational. And my God does it transform quick. Feels and looks like it too. Just yesterday I looked at a cat sitting in the shade and it was so psychedelic, the aliveness, the mysteriousness was there. No wonder these yogis know their shit LOL. It's also quite scary when you start to experience it, because your life just changes immediately. It's not like your life changes for 12 hours during a LSD trip and then you come back, no no, it's real and this Truth doesn't go away so it requires quite a surrender.

@OBEler No, I've never experienced anything what you described. But occasionally I feel contractions in my muladhara chakra, they are sort of like knocks on the door or micro vibrations, sometimes I tear up after I feel it, sometimes it's just a sensation and nothing happens.

@Ishanga If something mystical comes it's only because of God's grace, not me. Thank you for the encouragement! 🙏🙏🙏
