Superfluo

@creator20 It could be a superior feeling that derives from an inferiority complex, psychologically speaking. Most of the time the biggest baggages we carry come from family, and people have the subconscious need to reenact past traumas to rielaborate them and feel better about them, hence most of all human behaviour is explained.

@Mada_ @Matt23 @JosephKnecht @SpaceLaika01 @Rigel @Husseinisdoingfine @Osaid @Espaim @neovox @Michal__ There's a site called Downsub that let's you download the transcript of a video if that video has subtitles. So you can watch the video, take as notes the most important things you hear, then download the transcript and have all the things said if you want to analyze again the video (underline, organize stuff, keep all neat and clear) without spending too much time. Plus you can speed the video with chrome extensions. There are extensions that let you speed up to 16x.

The problem could be physical, environmental or psychological. If physical: optimize sleep, nutrition and exercise. Check your health with medical exams (blood tests, urine tests, ecc.) If environmental: other users have given useful advice. If psychological: maybe it's a coping mechanism

Rent them. And invest wisely that money.

@OmShanti69 I experimented a bit. How much aware are you of your body? I noticed that I'm more disconnected from my lower body than I used to think. I feel like my awareness throughout the day is focused on the upper half of the body (from chest to head) as a form of blockage that prevents me from being overwhelmed. It's like my mind prevents me from perceiving the lower half of body keeping all my energies in the upper chakras. I feel like my lower is foggy, and I can clearly sense a feeling of energy being held up, at the level of the chest/throat. Like my mind rejects my lower half. It's like I have a white blanket of "life"/energy only in my upper chakras, leaving my body numb, nebulous, detatched, inferior. So I decided to bring total surrender to the lower, and I learned that my mind prevents me from doing it all time because if I do I'd be flooded with feelings/repressed emotions/traumas. In fact if I do it, I can perceive my body in a more clean, lucid way, and I feel more alive, more down to earth, more in touch with who I am. And memories are linked more to emotions than to thoughts.

@Happy Jay Take a look at Teal Swan youtube channel. She has a lot of helpful, deep, on-point videos on psychology. Doing self-inquiry/epistemological work is usually not appropriate if you are not psychologically healthy. And the best way to do it is cleansing your mind and your emotions/body. So the challenge is two-fold: do some journaling to explore your issues and analyze your psyche + do some therapeutic work on your emotions (Inner Child Work, Trauma Release Exercises, Parts Work or Gestalt Therapy, Chakra visualization, Shamanic Breathing, Emotional Vipassana, ecc.).

@seeking_brilliance Cute . However this derives from the fact that our personalities have various sides (see Internal Family Systems Model and Ego-state therapy), more than being a full circle IMO.

I think the video is The Theme of Things Going Full-Circle, but your example is not very on point if you look at the emotional/energetical side of it (joy and sadness are very different in terms of focus of thoughts, feelings, intention, level of consciousness). If you look at the physiological side maybe it is, because both are strong emotions that lead to crying.

@neutralempty Great concise video. Refreshing.

I accidentally found this site: https://thepowermoves.com/ https://thepowermoves.com/start-here/ It seems a mixture of stage yellow and stage orange blog on social dynamics and seduction. I think this could be massively helpful. I'm still checking it out though.

I found these YouTube channels, they seem to have free long high quality courses on various topics regarding software development, marketing, coding, etc. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL3Erb7wUblXkzmwFuyjdVQ/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/SimplilearnOfficial/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/Freecodecamp/videos Have fun!

Nice!

@Zak It depends on how deep are your traumas, what's your environment, what techniques you decide to use, how often you'll use them, how committed you are and other factors. The depth of your traumas depends on what happened to you, on how you interpreted the events and on the sensitivity of your nervous system. The environment means family or school or whatever social circle or situation wounded you and which you are still in. I had CPTSD and I've been working on my traumas for two years doing psychotherapy and psychological/spiritual exercises. There were weeks when I went berserk and did a therapy session one day + two hours of inner child work/emotional expression on the other days, giving myself only 3-4 days off. There were days when I got fever because of the strain I put on my body (with care and love). Saying I was determined would be an understatement. However I had to do all of this in the same environment that traumatized me (home), so if I'd left home in some way I think I could have recovered faster. If your traumas are deep: the earlier you start, the better it is for you. Going on this journey will be a fucking huge one-of-a-kind experience, a glorious epic adventure. You'll feel like a real life hero. You'll grow so so much, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, and your experience will spill in all areas of life. If you decide to embrace pain and purify yourself from all the hurt and suffering and rage and hate, taking full responsibility for yourself and your wounds, I'll tell you, you will tap into the highest inner peaks a human can reach. It will be tough, you'll want to quit, but when you'll be on the edge of quitting, you'll remember why you started, life will smack in your face all the work you'll still have to do, and you will gather all your energies to keep going, because what else are you gonna do? Quit? Go back to the hell where you started? You won't regret all the work once you recover by 40%-50%. If your traumas are not so deep: you'll still have work to do, the best thing to do I think is therapy and digging your psyche to find the motives and causes for your behaviour. However nothing forbids you from using methods and techniques created for serious traumas. It will be like killing a fly with a cannon. These are the best and most powerful techniques and methods I tried on myself: Inner Child Work Emotional Vipassana Parts Work (Teal Swan video on how to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxMD4tSHwfc&t=1130s) Shamanic Breathing (Leo's video) (however this technique requires a lot of free time if you want fast results) Contemplation/Journaling (writing why you do what you do, why you do it that way, where your behaviours come from) Teal Swan frequency paintings Powerful books I read: The Completion Process - Teal Swan (Inner Child Work + Emotional Vipassana) The Anatomy of Loneliness - Teal Swan (Parts Work and Family Dynamics) Complex PTSD: From Surviving To Thriving - Pete Walker Trauma and Memory: Brain and Body in a Search for the Living Past - Peter A. Levine & Bessel A. Van Der Kolk Healing The Shame That Binds You - John Bradshaw

@JessiChell Understanding male psychology is very useful and powerful if you're interested in relationships or simply understanding behaviour. Also, our world is ruled mostly by men (stage orange societies), so it can be a wise choice. However, desiring to eliminate desire for romantic relationship is not healthy if you're not very seriously committed to a spiritual path, if you're reacting to it instead of eliminating it for a higher purpose and higher state of being. You want to isolate yourself from men because you're in pain. IMO you'll find that healing/inner work is the solution you're looking for because it will purify you from your hurt and your negative emotions related to romantic relationships, so that you will be able to experience them with love and happiness. But healing will be hard. Spiritual bypassing (trying to be spiritual because you're in too much pain) is not healthy, it's dangerous. But you choose. I'm biased towards Teal Swan, I think she's a very powerful resource for healing, spirituality and relationships.

From further experimentations, I think it's a defense mechanism amplified by exhaustion. In these days I feel more lost, more down to earth but in a meaningless way. I feel more present in the moment, but without my ability to be in my head. If before I was able to pierce through patterns, behaviours and be at ease with ideas, concepts, logical structures, knowledge, wisdom, in these days I feel more normal, more a sheep in the herd. It's like switching from an intuition-based way of living to a sensation-based way of living.

Hi, I've been healing myself in the last year using various techniques, especially focusing on lower chakras. But in the last week I've started to focus more on the sixth chakra. When I try to be present with the third eye in order to let arise whatever needs to integrate and heal (I think it's the emotional vipassana technique), at first my forehead starts to lightly buzz (I think it's normal), like when you point a sharp object to your forehead. But after a minute or so my consciousness slowly drops as if I'm falling asleep and I find myself very tired, wanting to lay on the bed to sleep. I don't know why it happens, because before focusing on it I'm not so tired and sleepy. It may be a defense mechanism for traumas, and in this case I don't know how to proceed because falling asleep doesn't allow me to explore what's beneath. It may simply be an indication that I need to sleep, but the quality of my sleep is pretty good, so I don't know why it does this. I tried researching this issue on internet but I didn't find anything.

@Clarky000 I think I have a similar situation. I've been practicing healing exercises for some time and recently I felt compelled to reflect on who I am, what is my direction in life, what are my passions, what I should do in my life. In the midst of this, there were moments when I felt strange sensations in my throat chakra, like it wanted to tense, with a movement similar to the one you do when you yawn. It seemed like it wanted to purge itself. So I focused my attention on it, doing an emotional vipassana on my upper body, and I felt the urge to throw up. There was a time when I started to throw up and I could not stop, it was like my throat had taken over my body functions (fortunately I hadn't eat before). I think it's a "good" sign, because people who take ayahuasca experience a need to vomit before the trip kicks in, and the shamans say it is cleansing for the soul. Certainly it's not enjoyable. The throat chakra is the chakra associated with our inner truth, our purity, so if it needs to purge itself means it is purging the obstacles that prevent you from being who you truly are. At least I hope so. If it's not like this, I don't know why all of this happens. Hope that helps. Oh, one last thing. The throat chakra is often very blocked when you're raised in dysfunctional homes.

@Esoteric thank you!

@zeroISinfinity @ajasatya @Leo Gura Thank you

@ajasatya Exactly, that's what I'm working heavily on. Any advice? @Leo Gura So an antidote to the rigidity and blockages of the body due to anxiety and fear is simply choosing to get excited? Is that simple?

@Leo Gura What do you think are the most efficient ways to gain that level of mental/emotional freedom other than psychedelics, enlightenment, spiritual practices like yoga or meditation? What does it take to reach that freedom? Why is it so difficult? I mean, is there a silver lining behind anxiety and fear for average people? Or is enlightenment/spiritual practices the only way to transcend those blockages?

@hyruga Thank you!

@wesyasz "They" are paintings done by Teal Swan (check her out on YouTube). From her shop site: "Frequency Paintings by Teal Swan are energetic patterns that are a part of pre-manifested reality that then translate into your physical experience when you spend time near them!" https://shop.tealswan.com/pages/shop-by-frequency She is a clairvoyant spiritual teacher. She sees the energetic vibrations of common emotions/ideas/living beings and translates them into paintings that affect your mood, your psyche, your emotions simply by being near them. For example, there is a painting called "Sense of Security" (@Pallero ) that allegedly makes you feel secure. It may sound too outlandish to some people, but hey, radical openmindedness is required. IMO, it's not a placebo effect, it's just obvious when you carefully observe how these paintings work and your internal reactions. You could try also Transforming Fear or Arcturian Calming Grid. Also, Calling could be useful for helping you find your life purpose.

I don't know if anyone has ever tried them, but they work! I used some of them for some time and in some days I started to cleanse myself emotionally so badly that I thought I was going through a nervous breakdown (I was a bit careless). My dysfunctional relationship patterns diminished, and I found myself behaving in new empowering ways. However some work is required from you, it's not all passive gains. Also, being aware of what you really feel and being honest with yourself is important.
