U mean shambhavi mahamudra? I used to practice it but only for six months or so. Honestly If i had to recommend people the simplest, fastest way out of depression into a happy exhuberent life, I'd say to do shambhavi but nobody ever believes it's true lol.

Lol

Ayayai.. I don't know what to say. I'm really moved by your determination and passion for self-improvement tho. Some of those questions are beyond my capacity to answer i believe. I could try to give u an amateur opinion of mine if it helps. I also maintain constant awareness whereever i go during the day and night. Staying as the watcher is my number 1 practice lol. I've been doing that for a few years now. It's my favorite practice really. Ironicly im not able to think of something to say that would be of significant help to you. The only things that come into my mind are very cliche, like, "keep putting your awareness back when u notice it's gone" and a.... yea, that's it ? see not much advice. You probably knew that already anyways. I do resonate and know how it feels to get lost in mind during meditation and then getting upset about it, haha. Somehow it is possible to go beyond that into a space of natural effortless state of pure witness with practice. Perhaps "keep putting the attention back when you notice it drift" is the only advice lol. Or maybe im just a bad advice giver, idk. ?

I guess there are many ways of doing it. Each system of spirituality has its own way. Not all spiritual systems aim at purifying the mind tho. Some paths adress it more and some less. The buddhism is probably the most fixated system on purification of the mind. A classic vippasana retreat is a good example of that. Vippasana itself is a practice to become 100% free from cravings at the root level of the mind. Few traditions ever focus that much on purification of the mind as vippasana does imo.

Buddha gave the answer already i think. ? Purify your mind ? It's funny how such a simple answer and solution never sinks in for many people.

What was your previous username?

Consider a possibility that leo might be wrong about meditation and many things about spirituality in general.

There is an answer but i don't think u gonna like it. ? Spirituality ? But not drugs. Drugs will make your addiction even worse.

U just acknowledged levels of consciouness here i think ?

@Someone here im just saying be careful with suppressing your sexual desires too much. Supressed desires may find expression in very unusual ways.

Maybe u just need to ejaculate a bit. I belive forcefully suppressing sexual energy may cause perversions in the mind. That's what happens to priests i think. If u want to come out of aping and porn etc. The only way is by purification of the mind, aka, spiritual sadhana. Suppressing buisness may lead to many problems.

Hopefully not. That would be a real pain in the arse if they did.

I think we gonna find out soon in a few days.

It hurts that you say that. I was telling the truth.

I used to do 12min kriya once a day and not even every day. And benefits were amazing. Today i meditate only 1min per day. And benefits are even more amazing.

Ayayai... I felt that... "the pain and sorrow" kind of thing. Masterpeace...

Haha ? i just listened to it. I seems like a shortcut version. I like the full song more

48min. "Now we are free." Legendary.

@Raptorsin7 haha, no. My goal is to simply grow. How far I don't know. I don't care. Simply growing every day is what life is about for me. If one day i achieve something like that that would be cool. But im just interested in growing nonstop. Every day of growth makes the day fullfiling for me. Making sure every day is a fulfilling day will make a fullfilling life. (My phylosophy:D)

@Raptorsin7 yes. That's the whole point. That's why people worship them as enlightened beings. That's what full enlightenment looks like. Not eating potato chips releasing tension. Talking nondual phylosophy.

I know this doesn't prove anything. I just find this fascinating for me personally. I thought i might share Seeker: Sadhguru, how come even some Enlightened beings have physical afflictions? Why don’t they cure themselves? For example, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa had cancer. Sadhguru: Ramakrishna Paramahamsa was not interested in all this physical business. He was in the bliss body; simply blissful. The physical body, he was not bothered, mental body, he was not bothered, pranic body, he was not bothered. When a person is like that, the body may rot. He does not care. When Ramana sat for meditation, he just sat for fourteen years and his whole body was full of sores and insect bites. Animals came and bit him and he just sat because he had nothing to do with the body. If it heals, it heals. If it doesn’t heal, it doesn’t heal. He treats the mind and mental body the same way. If cancer comes, he doesn’t care. He doesn’t even feel he has cancer because he feels it is not in him. Only people on the path of kriya yoga are capable of attending to the body in a scientific way. Others do not pay attention to it. Usually, they are incapable of too much activity. A Ramana or a Ramakrishna would not be able to trek with me to the Himalayas, let alone at my pace. Physically they are very incapable, because they were not bothered about taking care of their bodies. Their growth did not involve building a certain body. So they never attended to those things. They attained through their own intelligence and their own intensity, not following any system. Only people on the path of kriya, the Realized yogis, are physically very fit and their bodies will be properly kept. For them there is no problem. They cross the border and they come back. They smuggle things across (laughs). For them, it’s a daily affair. That’s the difference between a saint and a Guru. Saints somehow cross the border. They are wonderful people. They will bless you and their blessings are good to receive.

... Very thorough.

Lol. Ramana is imagining u actually.

I heard ramana maharshi would sit in complete samadhi for 14years unmoving with worms infesting his legs. Now that's exciting stuff. Not the feat itself. But the level of consciouness needed to do that.

Tbh, i don't see much wisdom in burning yourself on fire myself and why would anyone do that lol. I only find the theoretical idea of transending pain to such limits very entertaining. For example that story of marathon monks running marathons everyday and then sitting 10days straight in samadhi. Idk why but it turns me on and excites me haha.
