Surya Kriya specifically balances the energies of your body. So I don't see how it could amplify anything if the root cause of your problem is due to messed up energetic flows. But yeah, if meditation techniques are done wrong, it definitely could mess with your energies but that's why you need a proper teacher and the Isha Foundation offers that Btw they will also be offering an Inner Engineering programme in Lebanon end of September. It's also extremely potent to cure chronic ailments at an energy level, like your case. You can find that programme with this link https://www.innerengineering.com/total

Awesome! It's just a one time thing but the benefits are for a life time

https://www.innerengineering.com/total This 4-day Kriya Yoga programme is for beginners and is extremely potent. More than 10 million people have learnt it and you can read many reviews online about it and it is available in many countries It will also take place in New York on the 12th September.

Yeah I would also not contact any modern doctors as they don't understand energetic work and will just pump you with chemicals. If I were you I would seriously enroll myself for a Classical Hatha Yoga practice or maybe a Kriya Yoga practice like Inner Engineering from Sadhguru. I also recommended it earlier but since it has been three weeks, maybe you can reconsider about it. They may not have any opportunities in Bahrain as of now, so you can fly to a country which allows you to learn these things. These techniques basically balances the energies in your body and your issue seems to be in that domain. You can use this link to find a classical hatha yoga teacher nearest to your country. There are many teachers from Qatar, Dubai, Lebonan etc in that list. Just ask them if you can learn the practice called Surya Kriya which is one of the classical hatha yoga practices. Please let me know if you have any doubts of any sort https://www.ishayoga.org/hata/teachertraining/teacher-finder/

He even apparently walked right through metal bars of a prison in his previous lifetime

Here you go. Give this video a watch. This is both a spiritual and in the same time an intense practice to attain physical mastery. You have to learn it from an Isha Hatha Yoga teacher and they are pretty much in every country. I think this is exactly what you need. Edit :- I just did a quick search and found an angamardhana course being offered in Munich on the 31st August. Scroll down to "Current Courses". You simply attend their workshop and they teach it to you in a way that you are able to practice it by yourself at home after that. You can go for practice corrections to them anytime if needed. https://www.soulofyoga.de/#kurse

Yes, highly recommend his channel as well. It's a journey of a modern being striving for enlightenment along with an artistic twist to it. I did my first vipassana retreat becauce of his videos

Thank you for that, it is quite easy sometimes to get stuck in the mental aspect of this work as long as there is still an identification to our ego and mind.

@Dwarniel Yeah I tried pointing at my screen and it instantly humbled me LOL

I know you directly asked Leo, hope it's okay if I give my input I think it's similar to how Hitler believed that killing and massacring Jews was the right thing to do. Even though he strongly believed in it, it was only true from his own perspective. From the point of view of a jew, it's the last thing he wants. All perspectives are relative and seem very 'right' and 'correct' from its own stand point

I remember hearing this as a kid, I understand it at a deeper level now than then

Yeah, I actually do resonate with that answer at a deeper level. Even though during the backslide stages I might think I am back to square 1, after that stage passes I do feel like I am better than before. Thank you!

@Leo Gura What is your personal opinion on his yoga technique? Have you tried it? I assume you are referring to Shambhavi Mahamudra from his Inner Engineering Programme?

I too have a question regarding this. Would be grateful if someone could help me out here. If the backsliding part is where the ego tries to achieve homeostasis, then if we give in to it, how does growth happen? Because for growth to happen, shouldn't the ego find a higher level to be at rest? I am sure using terms like 'higher level' along with 'ego' could be misunderstood in this case, but I hope you understand what I mean.

Awesome! Thank you

Incredible I think a lot of people underestimate the value of the programme. It's designed to help even someone who is already in the spiritual path and it's not to be seen as just helpful for beginners. I've seen tremendous shifts in my baseline level of awareness after this programme and maintaining my practices eventhough I was already practicing Kriya Yoga and Vipassana beforehand.

Since these are all master degrees, do you think the entry requirements for all of them would be a bachelor degree in Psychology?

Yes, it can be very helpful as porn addictions form most of the time due to emotional trauma from the past, particularly from childhood. So you can use this to release those trapped emotions in your body

@Mason Riggle How in the world....

I have personally felt a difference in my psychological state after changing my sleeping direction and so did a friend of mine after seeing this video. This is only if you live in the Northern Hemisphere. Otherwise you should not put your head towards South

@Fishy

@Moreira does it go against this?

It is recited by Sadhguru himself. Ofcourse if you want to support the foundation, purchase the book as well Don't underestimate the level of the book, anyone can learn something from it. Even if you consider yourself an advanced spiritual seeker. Plus he makes it quite entertaining to listen to it. P.S :- You can download this as a mp3 and listen on your mobile device

Wow this is quite inspiring <3

@Hsinav And it won't look unethical after you smoke the 5meo becauce you are in a non-dual state ?
