@Leo Gura Where did you learn it from?

This is an animation I made couple months ago, and it has AI voice. It's also a pleasant and unique one, but still, AI. https://elevenlabs.io/ You can generate quite human like voices with elevenlabs voice AI

I think he also uses AI voice-over.

What should I, as a basic programmer making a living with coding, do? And there are so many just like me

@Leo Gura Did you restart your Kriya routine? Do you still find it useful after all your awakenings?

@TheSelf Can you tell us what you did in more details?

@Leo Gura Do you still use psychedelics? Or you're also taking a break from that

@Leo Gura How can you handle that emotionally? And in general, what are your ways to accept the fact that you've been stressing, that looks matter more than you thought, but you don't like aspects of yourself.

@Leo Gura Why? In what way

@Ayham Oh thanks, this is helpful

Hey guys, I have one question for those who practice the Supreme Fire technique from Santata Gamana's book. He says first to inhale, and then do the abdominal lock (Uddiyana bandha). But as I looked up online, doing proper Uddiyana bandha requires first exhaling all the air (lungs should be empty), and then doing the lock. But here he asks us to inhale and move the energy up first, and then lock the belly. How do you guys do it?

@Leo Gura Do you think that's doable when you have full time job, also trying to build a business on a side, plus have spiritual practices that you spend good chunk of your day on and some other things? Going out 3-4 times a week needs a certain lifestyle already, don't you think?

@MAHAVATAR_-_BABAJI Thanks for your answer. At the moment, I don't feel my spine much, and I don't feel that energy at all. It's been only a month since I started the practice. Is that normal? I just try as best as I can to visualize some current pumping up and down with my breath, and piercing through the places where chakras are supposed to be.

Hey guys, I have one question, during Kriya Pranayama breaths, when I move the energy through the chakras, should I concentrate in the spine, on the chakra point itself, or it's posterior ksetram (on the skin on my back, where the chakra is supposed to be). The author didn't explicitly say that, but I intuit that I have to concentrate inside the spine, on the chakra itself, not its posterior ksetram. Thanks

Those ase so addicting, its like perfect escape when mind wants distractions. I wasnt able to disable those on my phone, Vanced didnt work either. But the same problem also exists on Instagtam, I cant disable reels either. But I visit YouTube much more then Instagram so Shorts are bigger issue.

@Leo Gura Do you talk about that kind of dangers in your new upcoming Awakening course?

@Leo Gura So if I do lucid dreaming with seriousness, and maybe do some spiritual practices or even psychedelics inside a dream, will I experience Awakening?

@Leo Gura What about some healthy oils as well, eggs and maybe some raw nuts and seeds

@Leo Gura Isn't the stuff I listed good for adressing psychological baggage and trauma, or you mean more direct techniques specifically designed for that, like Teal Swan? As for the contemplation, you mean contemplating metaphysics of reality sober? Do you find sober contemplation of the deepest stuff useful?

@Leo Gura What if you do for example Hatha Yoga, Kriya Yoga, Holotropic Breathing, Mindfulness Meditation, and some other things for a couple of years, and then try 5-MeO, will that increase your chances of seeing God?

I have a question to intermediate and advanced practitioners. I'm a noobie at yoga and can't still my mind. I'm following the process explained in a book (also I'm doing Sadhguru's yoga), but my mind is all over the place, I struggle to stay aware. Is this a matter of discipline and should I discipline my mind more to be aware like by force? Or is this something that gets improved over time?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BHGBDT2D?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title This is a new book that I've found and ordered, haven't received yet but maybe you guys will find it useful. The author also has a youtube chanel and a discord group, so he is pretty accessible I think, unlike JC Stevens.

@Leo Gura Exactly. I'm doing the technique like a monkey, having no idea even in theory why I do the things in the 1h technique. But if it produces some results, that's okay. It's the part of the trial and error process. I think one should have many additional sources, like for example when I do Sadhguru's yoga, I'm also familiar with other yogic techniques, and in their books, for example in JC's Kriya book, some things are much better explained about bandhas, mudras, etc. Then I cross-reference that to what Sadghuru teaches me.

@Leo Gura I think you have to approach Sadhguru's work just like any other teacher's work, just like your work. Picking up what is suggested, testing, and going through the trial and error process while making sure that you're thinking everything through. But some of the things that anyone teaches, have to be taken as kinda faith, to stick with it, while realizing that you are doing so. So I just learned the Sadhgurus Shambavi Mahamudra yoga technique that I am supposed to do for the next 6 months at least. In my mind, that's not sheep behavior because it's a clear set of instructions that I can test and verify if it has any benefits for me. Maybe for a year. I think the danger with Sadhguru is if one believes everything he says without actually verifying what's being said. But that's the danger with all the teachers, you included. But with you, what I like is that you stress the point of independence thinking like 100x than Sadhguru or any other teacher that I've listened to does.

@Leo Gura What do you think is the reason that Sadhguru doesn't appreciate psychedelics as much as you do? Only because he doesn't have sufficient (or maybe any) experience with them?
