@gavimobile As far as I know the best carbs are sweet patatoes, rice has a lot of arsenic in it sometimes but if you thrive for organic brown or even better red/black rice it can be a nice addition.

@Random-Hero95 What app are you using exactly ? Choose one the girl prefer + study it's algorithm (if you swipe too much on tinder you are seen as low value and shown yes) + have amazing pictures + have an amazing instagram linked to it (very important for social proof) and you should be set + On some app such as tinder you need to buy the plus profile to actually get your profile shown to a lot of girls. If you're a free user you may never or rarely appear to some girl and you have a very low visibility so don't blame your looks too fast Gold is only 7 dollars per month I believe ! Also, keep the convo short and meetup for the date asap. Hope this helps

Good question. I assumed it was 3 cycles of each only since your routine evolves and lower end practices become slowly obsolete and are remplaced by more advanced one, thus it would make more sense that you do slowly less of them. But I might be very wrong.

Maybe try to land some psy job in Italy and then slowly move towards a stable private practice ?

@Soulbass Be careful with going too fast. You need to practice the frist kriya pranayama for at least 2 months before going on to deeper lessons. Do not rush.

If you have big calves like I do you can sit not on a yoga block so that your foot reaches mulhadara. This can be very great with mahamudra because I wouldn't be able to press into my chakra properly without the block.

Thank you Leo. Unfortunately I can't find healers on yelp in my area - Belgium is just a small ass country. I'll be sure to be very careful. You don't happen to have any ressource on those healing processes do you ?

I've read about siddhis a bit and I agree with Yogananda that spirituality is not to become a circus. But I'm very interested in the healing aspect and developping some sort of healing powers. I've read there are no siddhis that are related to healing so I'm very curious about it. Of course I'm getting a shit storm of visuals when meditating - it almost feels like meditation is the water test in HunterxHunter a way to know which "powers" you can potentially develop.

How would you cleanse yourself from bad energies ?

I often feel that they are being created not by me but by some internal process which is independent. But the biggest issue I had with this model, and while I agree with it and with Peter Ralstons understanding of it, you can only release what you are feeling right now. Then what about the damage and the trauma and the whole negative emotions felt in the past which are stuck in your body ? You can't just let go of them, you have to do specific technique to wake them up, feel them once more and them let go of them in the present ?

@Shin Oh yeah Been there done that => exactly the same reaction as you. And it's pretty fucking annoying. Look into limerence. I'll make a separate post about it because it's very important but look at that concept and also watch Matt Kahn if you're into the twin flames type of thing.

Medulla is for a slower pace and visagra is used when you want faster progress. I have no idea about bregma but brumadhya is used for temporary energies as far as I understand.

@Gligorije I second this. Grind dating. Then with it do some meditation ofc and grind yoga seriously. But get dating out of the way first it's gonna help you immensely later. Of course do the life purpose course and find what skills you have to master. So in short work at : your mastery + meditation/yoga + dating.

@Azrael What do you mean by that ? What would be a complete system ? @Shanmugam Yeah I understand even if to me just being sound like doing anyway. I mean it feels like you must do a lot just to BE For instance, would the concentration after kriya be a doing or being thing ? See ? You're being there but there is still doing even if it's not "you" doing it. I actually liked James Swartz teaching's. I got a glimpse by just meditating and saying I'm real non dual limitless awareness over and over and over after reading his two books.

Don't lift them all the way up at first => don't damage your eye ffs ! Be careful and apply pressure gently it will build over time. You do NOT determine progress. You just do. It is part of kriya = you have no goal and it's important to JUST do the practice correctly. The explanations for when to move on to the next chapter are usually extensie though ;p

Could you explain that further please ? Also, as long as I feel like this it the right path for me, I should be fine, right ? I mean since we have duality no system can be perfect anyways and every system has to be misleading to some extent let's say 10% and maybe more based on who you are because with your subjectivity this can get confusing. Aren't we just bickering back and forth like over this pointlessly ? No here you have 10% that are wrong join my school etc. I remember the old anecdote of the US criticizing the USSR for it's regime and they answered something along the lines of : and you you are beating niggers ! ( There is no perfect society nor perfect anything). In short, there will always be something wrong !

Sure - do whatever you want - I'm just mentionning it for newbies that it's not a good strategy/guideline overall. PS: guys don't feed psychedelics to your company animals either

Still it's quite un profesionnal of a use of psychedelics and it gives the substances bad reputation. In short for the neewbies reading : don't watch porn and do it alone or with a special sitter. Don't waste the experience.

WTF !? x 2

I'm not gonna start a non-duality war here but usually saying x w z is wrong and there will be this magic technique is usually done for marketing purposes. Of course every kriya school is gonna be like " no we are the right one, all those are wrong !" - Does that remind you of Europe during the middle ages in any way ? I don't believe there is a absolute perfect kriya yoga method. It's like driving the car of a certain model, let's say mercedes and arguing about the fact that this model is better than the other, and you must use the MB94 model with shaded windows always and all the other models are garbage. It's pretty common that even in quite serious books, such as Vedanta by James Swartz, a lot of shitting will be done on other traditions (sometimes for valid reasons but those are easy to discern) - that's just part of the marketing because you want all the disciples to flow to you. Every school has his own "ego" if you wish and as with every existing entity - it wants to survive !

I used to think that way but I can assure you it can fuck you up long term if you don't heal correctly. It can really fuck you up. It's not as glamorous as you think

@Leo Gura Thank you a lot Leo. So I got most of it right I'll focus on sharpening the practice. Really appreciate your help. How would you pull up energy faster ? I mean I can only imagine energy - I cannot feel it yet or really percieve it even if I really want to. Yeah I came to the same conclusion. I've been swimming weekly so this lack of breath capacity came as a suprise. I thought about going and doing some mountain retreat to get oxygen efficiency way up. (Or start a clarinet practice ? xD)

@Paul EMD Honestly the Ennio Nimis felt very random and presented the whole material in such a way that it felt like freaking rocket science. I mean I had some basic yoga/sanscrit knowledge but it way too shitty to even undertand the basics. Stevens is way more approachable.

Okay is the alpro unsweetened almond milk really that bad ? I've been using it for almost a year and reading this thread I feel quite uncomfortable about this revelation. Yeah there are some chemicals but that's almost unavoidable in a almond milk processed thingy.

How do you unwind, relax, and just chill out at the end of the day to relieve stress and to relieve your mind ? I'm looking for things that are not digitaly related/nothing addictive => so no youtube/TV/games . Do not suggest weed. I'm already doing herbal teas. Activities such as journaling actually don't count since you're gonna think about your whole life and do it too professionally. I already know about : reading a nice book socializing with friends taking a bath etc. What would be some very counter intuitive nice relaxion method ? Which wouldn't be costly (like getting a spa) and reliable ?
