Thank you. That's a cleaner way of putting it. Does the sound of each chakra being hit have its own frequency, sound and note while the other chakras are being hit having their own sound and ring. Is it like building itself into a full cord of activated energy by the time the breath completes it's journey?

If you ever played the video game Spartan total warrior, when you go to the shrine to heal the character, you have to hold the x button until the meter above the shrine fully completes in order for your health to flood back, I intuitively thought about that in terms of pausing the breath at each chakra, except I'm not pausing to heal, I'm pausing to fully saturate that chakra with prana. Is that what you meant and is that a good analogy?

What do you mean knock the chakras? I think I see you what mean, instead of just breathing through the chakras, the pause is like pressing each chakra, resonating it fully before moving through to the others

That is exactly what I was doing with each micro sip of air within each cycle except I wasn't focusing on chakras, I was feeling each sip as a swirling vibration of energy. Each OM chant was one sip of air I'm going to consciously focus on moving the breath through the chakras tonight

How long are the pauses? Doing this tonight.

@Leo Gura Last night I practiced 30 minutes of Kriya Yoga pranayama as described in Kriya Yoga Exposed by Satana Gamana. The technique involves mentally chanting "Om" while focusing awareness on the third eye, traditionally 6 repetitions on the inhale and 6 on the exhale. I modified the pacing so that each breath cycle lasted approximately 30 seconds, slowly drawing the breath into a continuous Om vibration. rather than one smooth pull, I found I could sip roughly 15 micro-breaths within a single inhale. At some point the experience dissolved entirely. I fell into a deep void, not sleep though because there was no transition. Just pure empty awareness, I snapped back awake at 1:22 am. Shit was wild.

I've been consistent with doing kriya yoga, the breaths are more deeper, slower, like taking very slow sips of air through the nose.

I sent you an email Leo.

No, all other expenses are covered by you. You are there solely for the work.

@Leo Gura , loving your Instagram videos, 3 minute chunks is generous for today's attention span. About your post of the degradation of social media, do you think that you're Instagram post will funnel people into your deeper work or do you think it just becomes another piece of content that people scroll through and don't see the value of? Because it is quite a paradox how you're using the zombie machine to try to awaken people from it because Instagram is engineered to keep people from using their minds. I'm curious as to how you're navigating this. Do you think that no matter how good the content is it inevitably gets diluted by Instagram or do you think there is value in it no matter what? Because you're not dumbing your vocabulary down especially on Instagram most people don't have a philosophical and existential framework for understanding reality that a lot of these terms fall on deaf ears or even worse ideological and dogmatic ears. People hear you use the word god, intelligence, love and consciousness and they don't even have a reference as to what you're talking about and can easily misinterpret every word you say

Happy birthday!!!! God's fireworks on display.

Give him a pair of boxing gloves, I'll handle it 😮‍💨😂

Good catch. Definitely not limited to women, that was an error on my part. I was wrong

Be careful with narcissistic women and women with borderline personality disorders. That's a whole can of worms.

Some insights from contemplating: There is a spectrum for all the possible sets of mental disorders and illness. Mental Disorders is a blanket terminology that generalizes any particular kind, combinations and rate of all the different kinds of mental stability. By definition, a mental disorder, characteristic traits, or a mental illness can be caused by basically two factors: genetics, and a very underdeveloped psychology/ ego development. It can be triggered by trauma as a way of coping with the parts of yourself that were fragmented as a defense mechanism. There are very different kinds of ways an ego can fracture especially during critical stages and phases of a person's development, like infancy -toddler-child-teen-adult. If you look into the development and state of consciousness of someone with borderline personality disorder, they experience a strong fear and reaction to any form of abandonment, they have a fragile sense of self, a. Lack of self reflection and they experience emotions as whole realities. There is no sense of object permanence. Study the psychology of various mental illness from experts in the field like Dr ramani durvasula PhD, lise labanc, especially in the context of relationships. Also someone with narcissism, BPD don't have a solid sense of self which if you get a hit on it, is quite sad. Because they don't experience a stable sense of self like you possibly do, it's not nothingness like the void of enlightenment, it's a nothing where there should have been a a stable healthy ego that gets solidified during the critical points throughout a babies life, but for some reason it got stuck before a healthy secure ego can form.
