@Keryo Koffa by letting go, I mean being willing to feel it, not suppress it… I’m trying to encourage him to let it out so it can be let go. And of course here for him as he does that. I guess I wasn’t clear enough with what I meant by that. I’ve always known he tends to hold onto things but I brought it up after he mentioned that he wants to cry a lot but pushes it away and gets down on himself about it, things like that. Can’t remember exactly what it was he said. But I don’t think advice always has to be a negative or intrusive thing anyway..There is a way you can bring things up to people to help inspire them, influence, etc….But yes, my main concern is being a loving, emotionally supportive friend. ❤️

I have a friend that suffers immensely.. and I’ve come to realize he very much tends to hold on to his past. So i’ve been bringing up lately that him working on letting go of those things would help him feel so much better.. while I was trying to understand what’s been making him hold on for so long he made a comment, “what if I don’t want to let go”. I asked, why would you want to hold onto something that makes you sad? And it’s sounding like him letting go in his mind means he doesn’t care. So basically, certain things from his past that make him very sad, he also holds dear to him. I didn’t really know what to say to that because it does kind of makes sense. But also, it doesn’t, because you can still care and hold certain things dear to you while letting go of the attachment? What would you say to someone you very much care for that is has this mindset? He’s such a good person and deserves to be happy so I very much appreciate any advice! 🙏

@Davino this is the most encouraging thing ever ❤️

@Davino so I just did it, and meditated for a little after, and I still feel the contraction but it’s already so much less intense!!! ❤️ I’m so happy

@Davino OMG this is so helpful and makes so much sense now. I am definitely going to start doing the kundalini in addition to the meditation.. and I’m so excited that I know what to expect and that it will help so much with releasing. I can’t wait to feel lighter and happier within myself. Thank you!

Has anyone else experienced this? it’s very intense every time I am present in myself….

When I meditate, the emotional pain I had been distracting myself from arises… I just try to stay present with it n allow and breathe. But if there’s something else I could be doing to help release whatever energy this is within me… I would love to hear suggestions and thoughts. Thank you

@Carl-Richard ahh, I see where you’re coming from. Completely agreed!

@Ulax I am super curious about this!

@Carl-Richard how would you reframe that thought then? Of course being aware without any thought would be ideal And yesss, love musical instruments. I need to start playing my guitar again

@Yimpa great idea on the cooking videos. I do enjoy cooking. Any favorite yt channels? That’s crazy about the AI knowing what that 😶 I have never used AI!

@Yimpa habits outside of phone use are fine for now, already working on that stuff. Just curious on something entertaining/ higher consciousness as far as phone stuff

@Davino thank you!! what is immersive reading? i do listen to a lot of audio books already

Sooo I went a tad off track these past couple of years in my personal development journey. And I am motivated to make some changes now! For one, I deactivated my social media. So that’s why I’m posting here.. on my spare time I consume a lot of educational content as far as YT videos and audio books, but looking for suggestions on a good place to just scroll (other than this forum or other forums really) lol that is more high consciousness and less of just a mindless distraction like social media can be. OR, any other suggestions on what I can do to replace social media time on my phone that is a higher consciousness activity? i have been building healthy habits outside of phone stuff already, so specifically I’m looking to see suggestions on that. TY!!!

@Davino @Thought Art I was watching this video of Bernardo Kastrup (my favorite philosopher). At one point in the video he was using a metaphor comparing physical death of the body, and ego death through high dose psychedelics. He mentioned there about the decrease in brain activity. (I just assume he was correct). I realized it kinda makes sense. Because during meditation wouldn’t your mind activity be decreased because of the stillness, and being present, etc… you would be more open to insight maybe insight Doesn’t require brain activity.
