Hatha yoga before kriya yoga? sadhguru says one should do hatha yoga before we practice kriya yoga to prepare our body for the intesne states of energy: "If we want to do Kriya Yoga, we always prepare people with Hatha yoga because without the body being prepared, it will not be able to take higher dimensions of energy. It will break. It is just like if your pipe is not ready and you pump in too much force, something is bound to burst. Hatha yoga, so to speak, could be understood as preparation of the pipe."

@lostmedstudent i am also on the mission to becoming multi orgasmic. read the book the multiorgasmic woman by mantak chia. i haven't read it yet or applied the techniques in there but i'm sure it'll help. i saw leo on another topic recommend the multiorgasmic man by the same author. hope this helps!

my friend is 20 and she recently started dating this guy she met on tinder. mind you before she started dating guys which was just recently she was the most innocent person ever she never even looked at guys. they've been seeing eachother for a few months, no dates just late night hookups and she leaves the next morning , they havent even hung out more than 15 times. he barely responds to her texts and always claims hes busy. she knows hes a pimp and he fucks his workers as well. he has been to jail for a few months idk why and also has a daughter who he lost custody over. this man really wants a baby and hes been pitching the idea to her ever since their first date. she really likes him because hes not rude to her and hes really passionate about entrepreneurship and success (hes trying to start a sneaker,clothing company and he says once that is started hes quitting the pimp lifestyle) . he told her he wants to have a baby within the next year and if she does not want to have kids then he wants to go their seperate ways and move on. i told her if he can't commit to you now he will not be able to have a baby and his reasoning is that he doesnt try to go on dates with her or text her and be an actual boyfriend because he doesn't wanna get "emotionally attached" BUT he will give her all the time, money, energy and effort IF he can get her pregnant with his kid. at first she was not open to it at all but now she is considering having a baby with him provided they get to know eachother more and he puts more effort towards her. i was talking to her for hours trying to covince her out of it. she obviously doesnt want the baby she just wants the baby so he can commit to her and shes willing to risk her future, her goals, her life adventures, the respect of her friends, her parents support and her future baby to be with him, a guy whose main job is managing prostitutes, takes 2 days to reply, a felon and only agrees to see her if its late night on a bed. what can i do as a friend to convince her out of this and if she does go through with it how should i help? is it bad if i distance myself from her? i never knew she was like this and i just dont wanna involve myself with those type of people but i would feel bad if she was suffering through it herself.

@Dlavjr she can spend time with him all she wants and get her heart broken, but i can't let her have a baby lmao. i mean its not like she's ever taken my advice with these things so it looks like i'm just gonna have to let it go but it's so heartbreaking to see a friend of 5 years ruin her life like that for a piece of shit.

okay so i dated this guy when i was super young like 15, we dated for 3 months and we barely got to see eachother. he broke up with me and i was super sad but i figured i would eventually get over him. this was back in 2014 now its 2020. this man has not left my mind since then i swear it's like a virus in my head. before he told me his feelings for me i was so happy and detached and carefree and now i obsess over him everday of my life. in between we've met and hungout a few times but i always end up repeating the same mistakes. he's actually great i was the toxic and abusive one in our relationship. i tried everything i tried moving onto other guys , i went months without stalking his social media, i tried therapy but absolutely nothing has worked. i dont know what to do its like ive been struck with a terminal disease and its really held me back in life. i just wanna get over him and move on i dont wanna get backtogether.

@Space i don't resist the thoughts i have about him when they happen, i actually enjoy them and don't mind them being there. i don't beat myself even more that would be terrible considering how much i think about him. what's more frustrating to me is that i can't seem to let him go. it's when i relfect back on my life and go "omg how is this guy still in my mind, move on already" . in some way i;ve accepted it and realized at one point this will vanish. it's just annoying how long it's been taking over a relationship that was so long ago and so insignificant. what's gonna happen when i do end up in a really loving committed relationship and that goes to shit? how insane will i end up becoming then

@Rilles i mean most people do to some degree. i have healthy self esteem when it comes to not comparing myself to others and taking responsibility for my actions and my feelings but i lack authenticity and being assertive.

@Leo Gura i don't understand, in your breakup video you said not to get back with your ex. wouldn't getting back with him be counterintuitive to self actualizing?

@The observer i was thinking of trying self hypnosis to get over him. i've been reading a few articles about women who have tried this technique to get over their exes and they've produced some significant results. i'm just scared of the possibility of getting over him because my whole life in these last 6 uears has been structured around him. literally everything i do is for him and if i don't have that anymore i wonder if i will still have that motivation to improve myself. the core reason why i've been meditating, eating clean and exploring my spirituality is for him and i'm glad i've done these things but what if all of that is gone once i get over him?

@Roy yeah you're right i haven't really done anything with my life , it's been pretty mediocre. most likely if i busy myself and work on self actualising i'll see some improvements

@legendary i've actually have met up with him a few times in the past we talked a lot and hung out and tbh he's improved so much over the last few years. he's really into consciousness work and he's really evolved since last time. he is so much sweeter and compassionate and alot wiser. he's really improved his mindset which makes me want him more. not to mention hotter he got all buffed up at the gym. smh i'm the one that hasn't improved, in the last 6 years i've only gotten fatter and i haven't accomplished any of my goals

sadhguru says that by bowing down to the sun at sunrise, daytime and sunset, "life will work in magical ways" . you will live a blessed life because you're gaining more access to the akashic intelligence and getting the 5th element to cooperate with you. sounds too good to be true but i can't find anyone who has tried this method. any thoughts on this?

during do nothing mediation do i have to keep my eyes fixated on a single point or can i move them around? i try not to move my eyes too much and keep them on a general area on the wall but they sometimes move around. do i need to be constantly staring at one point or is it okay if thye occasionally drift away from the point i'm staring at?

Joe rogan and Michael Pollan talk about their 5-meo-dmt experiences

just a cool and insightful interview i thought i'd share with you all. and some cooler and even more insightful videos on cults by leo that i'd recommend:

dr.bruce lipton explains that reprogramming your subconcious mind is so ridiculously easy that all you have to do is put on headphones at night and play a program of desired affirmations while you sleep and soon enough your mind will be reprogrammed. It seems way too good to be true but his explanation kind of makes sense to me. He says that 95% of our lives are played out by subconscious beliefs that were embedded in us when we were 0-7 years old because during this time our brains are operating on theta waves which are more susceptible to influence. Those same theta waves are happening in a brief window of time just as you are about to fall asleep and when you hear those affirmations your subconscious will pick up on them. it's basically autohypnosis except you don't need to pay for these services ,there are free programs everywhere or you could just record affirmations on a loop. i was wondering what are your thoughts on this and if any of you have actually done this?? i've heard of this concept before with neville goddard about visualizing your goals as you fall asleep that makes the strongest indent on your subconscious but that still requires some mental effort this just seems like way too good of a life hack but he's a doctor so i'm biased lol

i just wanna reprogram some beliefs regarding my confidence, self esteem etc. just a few personal development goals, obviously i will take action on these things but i just wanna know if there is any merit to what he's saying. i dont wanna waste my time listening to affirmations every night for weeks if it's just bs

i am a 20 year old female about to turn 21 next year. growing up i was a pretty good kid, i was always seen as a generally smart kid who always got good grades and made my parents proud. I didn't party too hard expect get high on weed about once a week on friday/saturday nights after a weeks worth of studying. everyone had high hopes for me i had all A's in highschool and was entering a prestigious university for a competitive program. my weakness with school and generally everything in life was that i procrastinated a lot. it seems every year my procrastination got worse. by my first semester in university i got mostly D's and 1 A, i barely studied or went to class and just showed up to exams filling in random bubbles. The jump to university from highschool was huge in terms of workload and difficulty as well as the fact that i moved to a completely new town and knew no one. I also gained so much from overeating by the end of my first semester i was 20 pounds overweight. I felt extremely sad and lonely. I lied to my parents about my grades and figured second semester i would do better. I obviously didnt, my grades were too low and i got kicked out. i basically gave up on studying i wouldnt even bother and on my chemistry exam i didnt even bother shwoing up cause i already received my withdrawal letter. the school said that if i took a year off and did some online school and get B's i can get back in with a written letter about my issues and how i have improved. online school was ridiculously easy and barely any work compared to uni. but i still procrastinated soooo much that once again i was falling behind on everything and decided not to even write my exams because it was too late i wasnt gonna get B's to get back in uni. i am applying to enter back into uni next year and these failures have scared me enough to take online school seriously so i can get A's and get back to school but i just feeel like such a massive piece of useless shit. its not like im dumb or anything, i am so aware of the amazing potential i have. even when i barely tried in school and was getting 60's my peers were studying their asses off and getting the same marks as me. i have turned into such a lazy slob for the last 10 months i have done nothing but stay in bed glued to my laptop and eating junk and getting fat. not to mention i have wasted thousands of dollars of my student loan money and blew off everything. my dad is a taxi driver he cannot afford to have me impulsively spending everything. thats not even the worst part when i signed up for summer school in uni i applied for a student loan and got around 5 grand. i didnt tell my parents i got loan money so they paid for it while i blew all of that on clothes, skincare, food etc. even worse for the past 6 months i have been secretly stealing money from my parents bank account to pay off my credit card bill and my parents have no idea. i am drowing in guilt and the best way to clean my slate is to pay them back through getting a job but i cant even do that! im too scared and lazy to even start, eventually i will because my dad gave me a deadline to apply but i feel so bad. absolutely no one knows about this and i have just been pathologically lying to everyone about my life. I am not depressed and i have a huge vision for my future self but my self sabotage has escalated so much. can someone please give me some practical life advice or just their general thoughts about my situation and what i should do leo's videos have given me lots of inspiration but ive only made minor improvements, the only healthy habit ive been able to stick to is a daily 20 minute meditation i dont even brush my hair or shower everyday thank you for reading all of this , this is the only time i've admitted to all of this

ever since the 6th grade i was always uncomfortable with being physically intimate with a boy. i kept on delaying having my first kiss with my first boyfriend for months and then he broke up with me and then i kept delaying sex with my highschool boyfriend and he dumped me as well. the highschool ex keeps coming back and i am still not ready to have sex. there's lots of different reasons why i keep stalling. i am very uncomfortable with my body and im really scared to make noises and just let loose. im so worried about my performance that i get so tense i end up being so bad. this has really affected my relationships with men. other than excerise to gain body confidence, what else can i do to be completely uninhibited and open to enjoying sexual pleasure?

i was wondering if reciting daily affirmaitions about sex could actually improve sexual gratification. if i were to repeat to myself things like "i am capable of multiple orgasms" or " i am about to have a powerful orgasm", would i see any noticeable differences? i am a women so i know sexual pleasure for a female is a combination of her mindset, experience, body but i just want to know if repeating these affirmations can actually alter my satisfaction in bed?

i do not understand then. In leo's affirmations videos he says you can use affirmations for virtually any problem area in your life. if these affirmations will not work then what type will?
