Be careful judging your results so directly.
The opposite might easily be the case. As kundalini activates you can get crazy monkey mind as the body/mind purifies itself. You must endure such things if you want serious results.
Peace of mind is a byproduct of deep purification. The purification process itself can be uncomfortable and agitated. That's actually a sign that it's working, not a sign of failure.

@herghly Yes, the more pranayamas the faster the results should come.
It's said by some yogis that you need like 10,000 pranayamas to enter a deep samadhi effortlessly.
I don't recall the exact number. It's mentioned in one of the books.
Of course this number should not be taken too literally. It will differ for each person. But it gives you a rough idea of how many pranayamas you're aiming for. So do a shitload of them.

No, just do it as long as humanly possible.
It's very important that when you do your whole routine, that it be natural and organic. Don't waste too much mental energy criticizing yourself, timing things, analyzing yourself, etc. You must enter a flow state. The whole thing must become silky smooth and effortless. Let go of any self-conscious thoughts and just follow your heart.
Turn off your targeting computer and use The Force

I usually take one slow breath in and out between leg changes.
Just do the best you can, even if it's less than 90. The idea being that you will improve over time so it's not a big deal.
Holding your breath to 90 is quite hard when you're holding all the 3 locks. Your body will get very tense and burn through more oxygen than usual.

Yes, I've tried it.
To me Kriya pranayama seems more potent so I do that instead.
I get the sense that Sadhguru doesn't share his most potent techniques because his program is designed to be extremely mainstream and he doesn't want to freak out poor grannies with epic existential mindfuckery.
To me, the most important aspect of yoga is the pranayama spinal breathing. Without that, it feels like weak sauce to me and I don't want to waste my time with weak sauce. I want something that will rival 5-MeO-DMT.
When I do pranayama to me it feels powerful. So that's what I focus on most.
But I'm no expert at yoga. I just follow my intuition.

@GreenWoods I once asked Sadhguru's teachers if it is necessary to stop masturbation for his yoga technique. They said no.
Just an interesting factoid.
Of course I agree that not masturbating should be more powerful. But also, don't torture yourself too much.

@ahmad ibdah No dividing. Sit down and do the whole routine. This is not kindergraten. This is a serious spiritual discipline. So stop dicking around. You have to treat this seriously, like it's the most important thing in your life.

I don't even know what you count as rejection.
I don't even think about it. Just approach and talk.
Just stop caring if a girl brushes you off.

In Vegas it's very possible.
Other towns probably harder. Usually guys who do threesome consistently do it by first landing a bi girlfriend. Then she serves as the winggirl and learns to seduce girls.
It's gonna be very rare to pull two rando girls for a threesome. Much easier if one is already your gf.

Dude, I get rejected by 10 girls a night.

The education around the games women play when it comes to sex is also horrific.
How is a guy supposed to know how to escalate? It's not like you ladies can be trusted to be truthful about that.
You play games and then act surprised when guys play games to counter your games. Then you deny you play games.
So here we are.
I would love nothing more than to not have to play games about sex. Yet my hand is forced into it.
I would love nothing more than to walk up to a woman and say, "Let's have sex" and her simply saying, "Cool. Let's go." But no, it has to involve a bunch of bullshit.

If a girl gives a hard NO, you stop.

I always had high standards for women. Which is why I didn't date much.
Pickup taught me to lower my standards. I deliberately had sex with girls I wasn't into just to lower my standards.

My style is always to underplay the sex. I never bring it up blatantly. I just subtly seduce her and give hints but in the end I make her wait.
Often girls will feel so comfortable around me they just want to sleep in my bed with me. At that point even then im non-chalant, and shes already in her underwear. I love building up the sexual tension like this. Then as the tension rises, I start making moves, caressing her body, moving her closer etc etc. Subtle things like that. Then kiss her on the neck when u want to make her wet.  Feel like im giving away trade secrets.
But I wouldn't keep doing this if she doesnt let up. If a girl is turned on it'll happen in the first 20 mins, if you wait too long to escelate or you stay in one phase for too long it'll become dry.

Both. You should feel subtle weekly gradual effects and eventually some bigger breakthroughs. The gradual effects can really add up. Which is the whole point. I am more interested in Kriya for the gradual effects than the breakthroughs. I can easily create breakthroughs via psychedelics, but they don't stick so well. Which is why Kriya is important.
To me those are optional. Talabya is probably quite good, but takes a lot of training to achieve. I recommend you don't bother with it until your core routine is solid.
Gamana
I combine everything into one routine. Ideally you'd do this routine twice per day but right now I'm only managing once per day.
Not now. Build your core routine and do it for a few years. Then you can revisit that question. You're not supposed to do those routines until you have 3-5 years of solid practice.

No, I don't chant Om.
Meh, I spend time meditating anyways, so it's not such a big deal to me. The most important part is the pranayamas for rewiring the brain. That's my opinion.
Don't get caught up debating minutia. Get your basic practice down and the rest will be window-dressing.

Just look at the picture and find those spots on your body with your fingers at first, and then visualize them in your mind's eye and feel them through your body. There will be nothing there to feel per se. You're just going to imagine it for now. Ballpark it. Don't be a perfectionist.
This is weak-sauce. Get to the fucking pranayamas and do at least 24 of them per day.
Steven's routines are far too spaced out. Do them faster. It doesn't takes 4 months to learn how to do pranayama. You can learn it in a few days.
Do not over-complicate this.
My routine is the same as I last posted.
I do 3 sets of Mahamudra, 3 sets of pranayama (36 total pranayama), and 3 breaths of fire. This takes me about 1h 20m
Keep it this simple. Don't over-complicate things. Over time just increase the potency with which you feel and visualize the pranayamas. They are the key to this whole thing. So do them with real intent and feeling. Each breath upwards should feel like it's filling your skull with enlightenment. Suck that prana up your spine and into your skull like it's an actual fluid in your body.

@korbes It's actually really easy. Pretend like you are trying to fog up a mirror with your breath. But then close your mouth, letting the air go out through the nose.
Experiment with various degrees of constriction of the throat until you get a nice sound going and it feels solid.
Your throat needs to constrict almost as much as possible in order to slow down the air as much as possible, so you can do long slow breaths.
It's almost like sucking in air through a straw. But you are using your throat as the straw.

I stopped conventional meditation. I just do Kriya instead + I randomly just sit and look around the room whenever I feel like it.
After a few months of Kriya your mind should naturally start to calm down and you should start to feel like you're naturally meditating whenever you take a moment to just sit and be quiet. Meditation also becomes much more enjoyable.
After Kriya, my meditation has become much more organic, less forced and artificial. I meditate when I'm taking a piss, etc.
Because the yoga rewires the brain stem. It's more of a hardware fix than a software fix. It's more like a psychedelic in this regard.

Do your pranayamas slow and deep. When you get good, one inhale should last like 30 seconds, then 30 seconds for the exhale.
You want to slow your breath down as much as possible.
In certain meditative traditions they try to slow down the breath down to 1 breath per minute. That's sorta the goal here. Make each breath count. Really visualize & feel that prana flowing up the spine, through each chakra and up the brain stem. That's the key IMO. You are rewiring the brain stem, the reptilian part of your brain which keeps egoic consciousness locked in.
As your practice improves your breathing should slow down and deepen, your visualization should become more clear and precise and filled with feeling.
Practice slowing down your intake of air as much as possible, and practice perfecting your visualization.
That should give you 80% of your results.

I would just start it where you're at, and you will work up to 90 seconds pretty easily within a month of practice.
Don't let perfectionism get in the way of learning the practices. Tis better to do yoga poorly than not at all. Within a few months all of these complicated-seeming techniques will become second-nature.

It's weak sauce. A drop in the bucket compared to the power of Kriya. His online course is mostly just meant to recruit new people. It's not going to transform your life.
That's not so say it is bad. You just have to understand that the reason I chose Kriya was because it is the most potent thing I could find. It's yoga on steroids.
With the size of Sadhguru's organization, he cannot teach the most powerful techniques to noobs. He has to teach weak mainstream techniques as introduction. I'm sure he also has powerful techniques, but you won't get those without jumping through all the hoops.
The popular a spiritual teacher or teaching is, the weaker it must be. The best teachings are very niche and they are not advertised on YT to mouthbreathing noobs.

It's not dogma, it serves an important physiological function, but you can add it to your routine later on.
The most important thing is to get your basic routine into place, so you're seeing results from it and you're happy with it. Then you can add on the extravagant bells and whistles. I would spend a few months building up your basic routine (Mahamudra + Pranayama + Breath Of Fire) before investing a lot of effort into the tongue exercises. You can always add those later. Don't let anything hinder you from building your core routine. The core routine alone is very powerful and you should start to feel it working on your mind within a month or two, which should give you motivation to keep building on top of it.

@ppfeiff I am saying it's possible to cure even things like cancer using the mind. Not always, but possible. Because your mind controls your immune system.
But this is something you're not going to understand at your current level of consciousness. Because you still believe in a physical reality.
The healing arts are a deep topic which takes years of study and practice to really fathom. And it takes a very open mind. There is a deep mystical component to healing, above and beyond the psychological and "physical" aspects.
Stuff like ADHD is definitely a good candidate for yogic healing. No guarantees, but worth a shot. Obviously the psychological and physical aspects should also be looked after. If you're eating bad food, that could be an important factor. But then again, yoga will purify your mind and chakras so much that you should automatically want to start eating healthier.

Don't be so materialist.
You've no idea yet what yoga can cure.
Ain't so such thing as a "physical body" or "cause and effect".
Most diseases are self-created by improper use of the mind.
