Np (:

What part of Canada are you from? I'm a fellow Canadian haha

@Surfingthewave Thanks woman (haha i didn't realize you were a female). Yea I don't plan on practicing so much in the future, i'm just kind of on a high right now since i started using the dream board and I'm just sucking in all the good vibes from meditation I can. I appreciate you taking time to engage, I realize when i start feeling better I really don't like when people challenge what I do. But I definitely need to drop that like a bad habit haha

@studentofthegame Look at Nahm's thread on the dream board. I have been using it for about a week, and I feel completely different since I started using it. It works. IMO. Also, @Nahm you should think about adding that board to your little box thing at the bottom. Great post too, you've been on fire recently.

@Surfingthewave For example, when I did yoga last night for the first time i actually went into the pain instead of avoiding it and hoping for an easier posture. It was my best session to date. I was only able to do that because of my meditation, I kept turning attention on itself during meditation and looking for the thoughtless quality of mind i'm trying to develop. That is the link between meditation and life that i'm hoping I get more of as i do more meditation and awaken the truth of no self

@88888will88888 I am in the process of creating my self as we speak. I'm not necessarily searching for my true self, I'm more searching for a the selfless quality of mind that meditation that allows us to access, so i can apply it to my life to be the best me I can be. I do feel like i'm getting closer to connecting with THIS, but i don't how long it will take me. My third eye has been going crazy during these meditations so hopefully that does something too.

Momentum is still building. I feel much better now than when I first began using the board. I have had a few manifestations from the board so far. I spent more than 5 hours meditating today, and I'm about to do my second yoga session. I feel like there is a diminishing returns on the yoga and meditation, I feel good today but I don't know if i'm going to do a huge binge on them for a while, especially with exams coming up. I feel like i'm getting closer to source with each meditation session. More good things to come. I think I will get more ambitious with the board very soon.

@Surfingthewave You seriously don't think meditation will help accomplish those "other things" to make me happy? I view meditation as complementary to all the other things in my life. Like a piece to the puzzle that makes it easier to find and work with other pieces. That i do not believe. I'm pretty sure there is something there that will bleed into the rest of my life.

What did you do? How long did it take you to reach this state? Congratulations (:

Good luck (:

That is the problem with too much information. It's too easy to just sit around and absorb information and act like it's making us better people. I'm part of this younger generation, and people my age know a lot but their embodiment of their knowledge is nothing.

@pluto What does CBD oil do for you?

Nahm's thread on using a dream board. Total game changer for me so far. Only been using it a few days, already had manifested things from the board into reality. Crazy stuff.

@Surfingthewave I'm hoping meditation will bring me a mental state of peace and equanimity that i can access throughout my day. Then when I go to yoga or play basketball, I can use this acquired mental state to push myself to my absolute limits and try my absolute best, which will allow me to access the bliss and happiness available when we push through suffering. I don't believe it will take "years and years" that is a limiting belief imo. I have been practicing meditation for 2 hours in the morning, and an hour at night over the past few days and I feel like a different person already. I'm not "there" yet, but I am getting glimpses of what it will take to be happy. For example, last night in yoga for the first time I went as deep into the suffering and pain as I could go, rather than my usual aversion and mental chatter waiting for it to end. It was my best practice to date. It's not about living my life in this state. It's about increasing the amount of time in this state slowly but surely. I don't need to be in flow 1000% of the time, I just need a bit then it will grow. I am seeking advice right now from all of you guys lol (: @Nahm and @Synchronicity have been a huge help me to so far, and I will continue to post asking questions. But I also need to be mindful that some of my questions are just resistance to me doing the actual work, but I will continue asking questions until people tell me to fuck off. I have been depressed before. But my general unhappiness/ dissatisfaction with life is distinct from my episode of depression. I was raised very spoiled, and my parents just kinda let me do whatever I wanted. But not in a push my limits, be whatever I want to be kinda way. If i wanted junk food I got it. If i wanted a video game, I would throw tantrums until I got it. I never pushed myself out of my comfort zone, or pushed into the pain to find out who I am, because I had everything handed to me. I always felt like I wasn't living up to what I could be. I wasn't as happy as I felt I could be. I wasn't as good at sports as i felt i should be. My chemical balance has come from the way I live my life. And there a million ways I could have improved my life, but I always afraid of the pain and suffering (or resistance). I'm hoping meditation will give me a mental state to overcome pain and resistance in my life.

Read Nahm's thread on using a dream board. It will help you.

@Proactive I highly recommend yoga or long distance running. Something where this pain and suffering that you can go INTO to. Last night in my yoga class I went into the pain rather than my usual habit of avoiding and waiting for an easier position. It was my best class to date. Pain and suffering will lead to happiness. And when we learn we are immune to pain and suffering then flow will come easier because we know we are untouchable (I think, not sure about this but it sounds right). I am also looking for flow in my life.

@Proactive GREAT IDEA! Have you read Nahm's thread on using the dream board?

Have you seen Nahm's thread on using a dream board/holon?

This needs to be featured!

@d0ornokey I'm on a crazy trajectory with my spiritual growth since i started using the dream board. I'm definitely going to push the limits on how happy a person can be with a sub-par diet, but i'm already trending in the right direction for the past few days I just gotta keep it up.

There's not a problem per se. But there is a difference between relaxing in a bath and "meditating", and a more formal practice. Meditation is the most important thing you can do to improve your self. If that's why you're here, then take time, you can start with 5 minutes or whatever, and sit on your couch or sit in a chair and do it. Don't do it once in a while when it feels right etc etc. This is a practice that needs to be developed. If you knew how to meditate effectively then it wouldn't matter, and you can meditate any where really. The practice is limitless in it's application to your life. But you will get no where unless you establish a real practice where you are sitting consistently every day. Note, you don't actually have to sit EVERDAY. I remeber in one of Leo's videos he made such a big deal about how you have to do it EVERYDAY, and you can't miss a day etc etc. It doesn't matter if you miss a day here or there. Or even if you stop for a few months like I did. Just try your best to develop a real habit of doing it. It will have major impacts on your life, I promise.

Recently, my third eye has been at the fore front of my consciousness. When i meditate it feels like it's getting a deep tissue massage, and sometime it moves along my face and down toward my nose. What does this mean? How will this affect me moving forward? Should i do something to facilitate it's opening? Wtf does it even mean for the 3rd to open? Is my third eye already open? Thoughts?

I smoke pot when I meditate. I feel like it helps me with meditation.
