Like the title says has anyone tried nootropics and psychadelics for performance, primarily for training for athletics. And what were your results? please give me some feedback thanks.

So i've already awakened.. i was doing yoga and i think the energy channel connecting from my spine to my head caused some damage to my body. This pain is unbearable.. it's been consuming me and i've basically been submissive to it for the last 4 days. I don't know exactly the reasoning for the pain occurring or how long it will take for it to go away.. but does anyone have any methods as to how to get rid of it? The experience went like this.. i was doing yoga and i was doing a position that did alot of stress to my back.. when this happened it triggered me and alot of energy rushed to my head to the point that i lost my memory momentarily.. when this happened i panicked.. but i was bread with this pain that was so painful that i had to submit to it.. i went to the doctor.. and all he prescribed me was advil.. now this pain isn't as much as it was the first day it occurred.. it's still fucking with me and its still pretty hard to bare.. please help me.

bro i want to practice this type of yoga to release this energy in my spine, what would be the best method to do so?

@Arman i will use it as a learning experience for sure. Funny enough, my body feels tronger and im more entune with the energy within my body. I hoenstly don't know any energy healers in my area but ill most likely look into it, i also am planning on doing acupunture and message therapy i also might talk to a physician and ask if they know more about it. Either way i've learned my lesson and i'll probably never do that pose again.

So leo, why haven't you taught people about the danger of astral projection and how others can control and manipulate another beings life by doing concentrated meditation? also, why haven't you talked about supernatural abilities that are obviously prevalent in the world..that people are using to their advantage in dubious and threatening ways that can harm others..also..why haven't you said anything about supernatural beings? such as vampires, demons, voodoo, witchcraft, wizards, and other super natural entities who have used ceremonies and demonic rituals to gain supernatural powers..are you not aware of these beings?

cults are a man made idea so..

but i feel like thats part of the process. To seek enlightenment and than realize that the way to get it is to let everything be. It's kind of like acquiring a bunch of information and than shedding it all away to get back to who you once were, but at a different level of awareness and spirituality. I agree that making enlightenment seem like some conquest that one must overtake is stupid. For me, I just let everything be..the only reason i meditate is to zone my mind out and calm it, I never use it with the intent to become enlightened.

don't fall victim to your surrounding, really it is your mind playing these stories. These people are merely living in the facade, they do whatever they please. In the eyes of the moral they are seen as obscene, but really they are just participating in acts that don't amend with societies standard. That may be wrong, from the moral perspective. But when you see things as they are, nothing is surprising and nothing seems obscene because it simply is what it is.

i think actualization is always going to be more about experience, taking the theories, actually making a connection in your mind with them and trying to portray them in your daily life. Being neurotic or leaving your thoughts to dissuade won't really help you at all. Self actualization shouldn't even be seen as some tool to help you prosper. Its made for the man to dissect, understand and experience and accepting everything that comes after that, and not expecting anything before that. Meditation is useful if you use it properly, and it's also good for regaining vitality and energy and day to day life. So saying its useless is pretty ignorant, but thinking it will magically fix your problems is also ignorant and pretty stupid.

so do we try to suppress these thought patterns by recognizing them and trying to dissociate ourselves, or is even thinking of doing this(a thought) would be counter productive and instead its better to simply be aware and let thoughts run through you but run you.

this is just fear winning

This might be a wasteful thread, but If someone can give me more sources or information on how to acquire more awareness. I already meditate close to an hour a day, I have a pretty good control on my psyche and my emotions. I just want more information on awareness, to really show me how unaware i am and how aware i can become.

its funny cause when i watched the video i meditated through the whole thing, and when i was about to go to sleep I couldn't go to sleep.. and i realized its cause i had to much energy that insomnia is real.

i watched it, it was pretty informative but i was looking for more sources.

currently trying to become a hiphop artist

thanks alot for this

just be aware of it, notice the problem and don't get mad at yourself. Sit down and reflect on how this problem affects your life and why it's a bad habit. Is it really a bad habit? what is a bad habit? Sometimes "bad habits" are just a lifestyle choice. Maybe instead of seeing them as "bad habits" , you should see it from a different perspective. Realize bad habits are a part of your ego, and that the only reason you see them as "bad habits" is because it doesn't fit in with your idealistic reality. Realize that bad habits are all apart of your ego's unwillingness to listen to itself and control itself;the machine. When your doing the "bad habit" be aware of every action, thought, and gesture that conceives you... why is this a "bad habit" where does this take you, if not done at all.

everyone has their own unique ideas and talents. In this life, we're all brought up differently and our ego's manifest itself over years and years and becomes something we can never see coming. If I were you, I wouldn't focus to much on making money. Money isn't real, it's a man made ideal that is very outdated.If you want to make money, focus on being more creative, a more dynamic person that puts themselves in situations that are not comfortable. This way, you can experience more things, and really broaden your mind to the possibilities available. You need an idea if you want to make money, and ideas take years to manifest. An idea comes from know where just like thoughts. But you will find more ideas as you immerse yourself in more knowledge. Focus more on things you're interested in, don't feel obligated to do something just because it's there. Ideas take vision, some ideas are not meant to be the easiest to grasp, they take time and resources to really develop.

its funny because i lift weights at the gym, and whenever im done lifting and about to do my rest.. i put myself in that meditative Conscientiousness and zone in and feel my body and my heart pumping at the same time just gives me a huge rush. Forcing myself into that meditative state after doing a set is such a nice feeling, you feel so dialed in to everything around you.

my main goal in life is to bring my ambitions into fruition and leave a permanent mark on this reality that man has created. Really, im just fueling my ego. But im conscience of it, I always ask questions for fulfilling whatever purpose my ego has laid for itself, and I usually go along for the ride. Im also primarily interested in personal development in the mind, body, and soul. I recognize that alot of the things around me are out of my control, and that I don't have any willpower or real vision for myself. But I just take it day by day, improving on the things I want to improve, elevating my conscience and slowly finding an absolute purpose, rather than whatever purpose my ego has contracted for itself. I feel like alot of separation in the mind is necessary, and although that goes against the whole idea of reality and it being finite, I feel that as long as your conscience of what you are doing, than there is no harm done. Your not really lying to yourself either, your suiting yourself for the world that the ego has created, and the world that the ego has strayed from. A duality per -say, a balance of the mind.

maybe those experiences are a recollection of your true existential thoughts. Maybe you have a fear of dying and fear of going to hell that you don't want to confront.
