Also Craig Holliday and his website have great resources.

Enlightened through the path of Kundalini by Tara Wells has a great outline of how to prepare to awaken Kundalini.

Probably something you want to be cautious with. I would say to wait until covid restrictions are eased, and to work with a holotropic breathing instructor.

Do your research. Read both books on Leo's book list before going near it. I was il-informed when doing kriya yoga, and I ended up actually breaking my Brumadhya (third eye). I was doing self inquiry, trying to focus really hard, and my third eye broke and I felt energy like liquid fall all throughout my body.

I realized that cleaning is probably something I'm always going to have to do. I've philosophized about cleaning, and have considered the main motivation for cleaning is to keep me alive e.g. If I left all my food scraps on the bench forever, I would eventually be breathing in mold; a similar problem if I didn't vacuum. Also if I didn't tidy food rats could come and contaminate my food source with various diseases. Finally, it would also be difficult to find my stuff if I didn't organize it. I've been listening to cleaning podcasts whilst I clean to show me some different strategies on how to clean quickly and thoroughly. But I feel like if I were to really apply myself to having my house ordered all the time, that I'd be spending full days on it. Especially because I live with my parents and I'm often tidying their thing aswell as mine... But maybe not; What is your experiences and strategies for cleaning? On topics like: - minimalism - waste free cleaning - studies you've read on exposure to bacteria - organization - scheduling around cleaning - taking time off from other practices to clean, how do you choose which practices?

I feel heaps of people will relate to this. I find that it is better to hang out with people who shares interests to me e.g. healthy eating, exercise, meditation. Because when you go home form hanging with them, you feel better. When you hang out with lame people, you feel exhausted or guilty after hanging out with them. It doesn't mean some people are better than others, some people just feel better to be around; find those people.

Thank you for your reply I feel like his series "advice for young people" gives a really distinct and nuanced action plan, whereas the other more metaphysical topics, I could probably view with a more right-brained attitude e.g. "reality is infinite consciousness" vs "start taking learning and understanding extremely seriously" warrant two different responses; one warrants the implication of a new habit or schedule, the other understanding for its own sake and to be matched to my experience.

What my naturopath advised me: - 1 tsp Apple cider vinegar each morning and night with warm water. - Plant based Probiotic - Slippery elm Foods: - Cooked apples with oatmeal - Roasted pumpkin - Fermented foods such as coconut yogurt I would say slippery elm has been the most effective.

Have you tried the Wim Hof Method? It is said that this can help with both focus and energy. I started a 30 day introductory course the other day, seeing glimpses of improved energy and calm.

Lol spot on. 20 pages into a book on nutrition totally transformed my behavior in terms of what I put into my body.

Can you create a successful business, but have minimal knowledge of marketing? Purely hypothetical question to help me clarify a decision, I do not plan on deflecting any topic or potentially necessary skills.

@Tuan thankyou for your awesome reply. What is a sales copy?

@Tuan thanks dude, I feel like I've had an intuitive feeling this could be the case.

I remember from Leo's business Psychology video, he said that business is fundamentally about eyeballs and making money. I was thinking, i don't really know my life purpose, nor do I have any money or income stream. So i thought, in the process of clarifying my life purpose, I could develop my skill set as a freelance digital marketer and graphic designer. Because when I am more clear on my passion, I have the ability to design UI, logos, and get eyeballs to my projects. I feel like this could be a dabble, but I also have no money. I am at a place in my life where I could afford not to work and just reflect and research, but I would also like to start building wealth to fund the life I want to live.

I really don't understand the value of "iq". People I know who are certain they are intelligent, are really good at navigating systems e.g. Know what a school assessor is looking for, and then conforming exactly to this. My view is that IQ doesn't mean shit, "creativity and intelligence" to the majority of people just means talking confidently for a long time and delivering common sense in a romantic tone. The people who praise others for this are probably not introspective, because this isn't really taught in our culture. The majority of people won't call you out for a shallow idea, because they often times haven't really thought for themselves. - One of my friends is convinced I am a "genius". Which is hilarious to me because I've probably read like three books over two years, and done quite minimal contemplation. I've hung around with lots of really informed people, had too many "political" discussions so when I get carried away I probably sound like a college professor. It's all rubbish, I'm full of shit, they're all just nice ideas, not at all a reflection of what I embody. And the same goes for all my "intelligent" friends, mind you have gotten some of the best academic results you can possibly get. My advice would be to take action on vision and understanding. Like after I write this I'm going to do some work on my dream board and do a visualization, maybe you could do the same and pm me about what you visualized later on. Good luck g.

My cousins friend accidentally ingested an entire sheet of lsd trying to sneak it into a festival (it was taped to his bare back and he absorbed it by his pours whilst sweating). He is now in a psych ward and is convinced he is a glass of orange juice, and screams when anyone comes near him because he thinks they will knock him over.

Sure. Sober: - walking through nature, I've felt like the barriers between my individual self and reality collapse (feeling the oneness) - walking accross a bridge, and I felt that my eyesockets were a lense of reality observing itself. Psychedelic experiences: - looking at my hands, it being almost obvious that reality is not physical - It being crystal clear that there is no separation between my individual experience and reality. Having trouble grasping who I am

Contemplation

I can totally relate to this. From ages 16-18 I was trying really hard at spirituality. I had a few mystical experiences, and probably dipped into once or twice (nothing serious). I think this was a total waste of time. The way I practised, I thought I had to immediately cut myself off from everyone, I assumed studying at school was existentially less significant than consciousness work so I didn't focus on it. I don't think spiritual work is a waste of time at all, but in my experience if you are not grounded the work is valueless. If I were to go back, I would tell myself to take my health in nutrition super seriously, to master learning, time management, purpose, healthy relaxation etc. Sadghuru is said to have stayed in the woods overnight, and drink the honey out of beehives survive, literally as a child, spent years in the gym before he found his Guru, he was and is a tough cookie. Are you a tough cookie? Not in a macho way, but if you spiral into a deeply suicidal rut, do you have the adequate understanding of your psychology to work through it? You don't necessarily have to choose one or the other. But I would recommend choosing the aspects of "normal life" that aren't stupid; Excess drinking alcohol will reduce grey brain matter and put stress on the body, why spend money on cars when you could buy a sensible car and spend the rest of your money on seminars?

I have decided to do an experiment where I only eat fish as my main protein for a few months. I am getting a blood test tomorrow, and then another blood test at the end of the three months, and plan to compare the results. My reasons for doing this are: Fish feels easier to digest than meat, so I want to see if it is sustainable. I am only buying fresh, low mercury fish such as Mackerel, Wild caught salmon, Shrimp/Prawns, Scallops, Sardines. I was wondering if this is dangerous and will increase my toxic load. I am being sure to only using low mercury fish, but wonder if this is still dangerous as the fish are considered "low mercury" not "no mercury".

@John Iverson Marketing: Getting eyeballs to see your project Plan: Procedure, strategy to do so.

@mandyjw Thanks for your reply. I've been a lot about my career recently. I could commit to finding my passion, whilst during this process become a freelance marketer. This way when I find my passion, I would have developed a skill that I can directly apply to it e.g. Say i decide I want to be a life coach, I would have the knowledge and skills to market myself as a coach. But perhaps I'm just being lazy and need to forget about money until I find my deepest passion.

@LastThursday Fantastic reply. Aerating, dehumidifying are perhaps new considerations for me. Do you mean just keeping some windows open, or do you use a dehumidifier?

Self education. - books - Udemy courses - YouTube videos - apprenticeship I have a friend who is an artist. He is in his twenties and started his own not-for-profit gallery, a monthly poetry initiative, and didn't go to university.

Brazil nuts are an excellent source of selenium, which is needed for your immune system to function well. Just 2 a day is the daily requirement for selenium, I have three each morning whilst I'm drinking my smoothie.
