I haven't seen it, but I will do it soon. But yeah, many times we feel really bad about some worries we have, but it really doesn't help the situation. Of course sometimes the mind and thoughts are so strong that we feel helpless.

I totally understand you man, but let me tell you something. In September I'll turn 23. Last December I met my current girlfriend, and that was the first time I had sex after 2 years precisely. I was feeling like you are right now, and it's not nice for sure; my libido is pretty high, and not only I was not fulfilling this natural stimulus, I was also getting super insecure about myself. And then I met my girlfriend. My advice is: either you really work on it (pick up and these kinds of things), either you just go on with your life without this making you feel bad. Sooner or later you will find someone, and sex will happen. And also then you will understand that if not the biggest deal of your life (and of the relationship).

Yeah, I agree. Osho has great teachings imo!

Thank you! Will probably do it tonight.

I also really like weed, but let me tell you. Once you start making it a habit it's difficult to stop. Of course you can do it if you're strong, but why create this problem? I advice you to smoke it occasionally, make it special, like a ritual. When you do it with a specific rhythm (f.e. once a week/ twice a week/ once a day/ etc.) it's really easy to fall for it and start doing it too much. I guess that also depends on your personality, I believe some people can get addicted more easily than others. If you already feel that you are this kind of person then watch out 😇

@Leo Gura thank you❤️

In this video Leo says (1:14:51): "If there's somebody who you know that needs healing, whether physical, or psychological or spiritual [...], what they need is love, and truth. [...] The acceptance of reality as it is." My question to @Leo Gura and everyone that is reading this post is: how can apply that to my family situation, where my father has a brain injury after an accident?

I understand. The love that my dad gets from my mom, my brother and me is really big, and I trust that is helping a lot. He is getting better. But I see that on those bad days everything is pretty tough, and it's easy to have a toxic behavior towards him, and the whole situation. I believe I am the one who accepted more this situation, and my mom didn't, but still it's really tough. I am working on myself and trying to grow and radiate more love. So my question is, how can I do it? How can I make my love deeper? How can I radiate more love, even on tough days?

Why?

Sounds interesting; but I don't agree when you say that the desire for the other is consumed in the orgasm. It's simple a release of energy. Have you ever orgasmed with your partner simultaneously, at the same time? It's truly magic. Also, quoting Osho: "In orgasm, you come close to death because the ego disappears for a moment. That’s why orgasm and death have a very close association. In a deep orgasm, you forget yourself. There is no ‘I,’ no ego, just pure being, just an energy vibrating. This is why orgasm has a great appeal—it gives you a taste of death. The same happens in death itself. In death, the ego dissolves completely. The body is left behind, the mind is left behind, only pure consciousness remains." Osho viewed both as pathways to experiencing a state of egolessness, where the illusion of the self dissolves, revealing a deeper, more profound reality. So in my opinion what we should do is make love with someone meaningful, have deep and passionate sex, that leads both to an extremely deep orgasm. Then you can both become one and truly unite❤️

Hi everyone. In my spiritual journey I've encountered many different gurus, but I have to say that the first and most influential teacher I've had is Leo. But in the last months I got interested to some teachings by Osho, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Eckhart Tolle. The book that I am re-reading right now is "The power of now" by Tolle, and it greatly explains how to live in the present moment. I've noticed that @Leo Gura hasn't really talked about this topic: he went in such depth for spiritual topics, but I haven't heard about the fact that we can let go of our "talking" mind, our ego, and live in the moment, free of suffering caused by the mind. Did I miss any of your videos about it? If not, why haven't you covered these things? I feel like in general Leo talks more about discovering reality, while Tolle talks about inner peace through living in the moment and transcending the ego. Just for curiosity, how come don't you teach also about this? Not criticizing, just wondering about all these things.🥰

Eckhart Tolle

Would be interesting if you could talk to a priest. Not a really conservative though, one of those more open-minded.

I would like to do some inner work with MDMA, but where I live I can't find good one. The ones I have tried did almost zero effect, even with high doses. So I found that 6-APB is a legal research chemical that supposedly has similar effects to MDMA. Has anyone ever tried it? Let me know what you think about it, experiences, recommendations, etc. Also if you have tips on how to do inner work with these kinds of compounds, pls let me know. In general with psychedelics I just close my eyes, lay down, and see what happens, but idk about these kinds of compounds. Should I do the same, or maybe write down things, do some kind of exercises? Thank you for reading ❤️

@Ingit I am really sorry this happened to you. I am also having a difficult situation with my family after an accident, and it's completely changed our lives. If you ever want to talk about it you can DM me without any problem. I send you lots of love and strength ❤️

@DianaFr thank you for the nice message. To be honest I don't know precisely, but I think it's a mix of both. I do things to take these emotions out. I did a couple of times the Conscious Connected Breathwork, that helped me to cry a lot and release a lot. I should also definitely take care of myself a bit more, eating healthier for instance, or going on more walks in nature, etc. What I don't like perhaps, is that when I go back to the Netherlands it's really easy for me to smoke weed, and it's not a good influence, especially when it becomes a daily thing. But when I try to quit, I start thinking that it's not that bad, and that I like it (which sometimes I do, but most of the times I regret smoking). Probably also the weed numbed the feelings that I have inside, so it's more difficult to feel my positive emotions. Right now I'm in Italy with my family, and I haven't smoked since the end of June, and I hope that when I go back in October I will be strong enough to not do it.

Can you find a guided laughing yoga somewhere? Never heard of it and I'm curious to try.

@LSD-Rumi i am prone to be agitated when I'm with my family, here they are really chaotic and filled with stress; but still I try my best to be mindful and relaxed. I meditate every day and I believe I am a calm person in general. I am not agitated but I also don't feel safe specifically. After this accident I live in uncertainty, learning to accept what impermanence in life is. @Basman yeah I shouldn't be in a rush. And in general I am not, but I know that if I would be able to feel love, I would be better with my family and in my relationship.

@LordFall @Basman yeah I definitely feel like I need to get over this trauma... The fact that my dad is seriously brain injured makes me and my family still hurt a lot, it's really difficult. Our lives are basically tied to taking care of him; actually for me it's easier cause I live in another country due to studies. But every time I come back (f.e. now that's summer) it's like a slap in the face. The problem is that even if the majority of the year I stay abroad, I can't get over it somehow.

@Raze do you have any guided meditations to recommend? Both for the metta and adyashanti i mean. I don't know much about these types of meditation, but I want to give it a try. For the MDMA I would try, but also for that idk how I would lead the trip, how I can use the substance to help me instead of just tripping. Thank you for the help by the way!

@Schizophonia yes it's still really tough and stressful.

Yes you can! But don't think of meditation as a practice you do in a specific position (although you should keep these practices present in your everyday life). Make your whole life a meditation. That means live fully in the present moment, in the NOW. Be always aware of your thoughts, your movements, your breath, everything. You are the watcher, realize it. In only a couple of days you can already get great peace of mind, but you need constant focus, whatever you are doing, wherever you are. Feel the moment, the now.

From what I know, when you cook with wine, alcohol evaporates. But you should double-check.

@flowboy You are totally right. Thank you so much!

Lately I've been having some "mid-life" crisis about what to do in my life. Currently I study in the Netherlands (I'm Italian, studying last year Bachelor), and I know that if after my Bachelor and Master I would go back to my city in Italy (where my family lives) I would easily find a job as a guitar teacher (I know that for a fact; there are not many guitar teachers, and my previous teacher would also recommend me), and I would be close to my family (which is an important thing since I my dad is not doing well and my whole family situation is quite tough - you can read about it here:) What I am scared the most is to settle as a guitar teacher, and never do something more and greater. I don't want to be a guitar teacher forever, what I want is to help people, and also personally grow spiritually. I thought then my life purpose could be something regarding meditation and music. I feel I had a pretty tough life, and I know that in one way or another we are all struggling, and I want to help people. I believe both meditation and music are powerful, but I am scared to never be able to leave my "comfort zone" as a guitar teacher. Or maybe the problem will be not having enough time to invest in a new business, since I will be teaching and helping my mom and dad. I have also the dream of living in multiple places: I moved to the Netherlands, and I understood that living abroad opens up my mind somehow, and studying here is a life-changing opportunity. But how can I do so many things if home there is a difficult situation? How can I help my family, but still grow personally, spiritually and having more life experiences? Probably I am overplanning my future, while I should just focus on finishing my Bachelor and then Master, and only after that see what happens. But I also want to start building something now, even if I am still a student. Long story short, I am pretty scared. Life gave me many positive opportunities, but at the same time with my dad's accident my whole life changed, I am a completely different person, and many times I feel lost. I am scared of all this impermanence I am experiencing, and the people around me don't have a deep or high-consciousness way of thinking, so I don't feel like talking about this stuff. This is also why I am writing here, and if you have any advice, thought, or anything to share, please feel free to do so, it would really help. I really appreciate you took the time to read me!
