    Very good question.

    My two cents:

    - Be in a good emotional state in your life

    - Have a good support network 

    - Find ways to release tension in your body (through yoga, massage etc)

    - Fulfill medium-level needs on the Maslow hierarchy 

    - Psychotherapy 

    - Use psychedelics responsibly (not recommended for everyone)

    - Don’t get neurotic on having “profound” insights. The more you seek them, the harder it is to have them.

    :)

    1g should be good enough for your firsr trip.

     You should do it when you are in a good emotional states, otherwise it can be a pretty bad trip.

     If you decide to use it with a friend, you both should remain silent during the trip.

     And if you have a history of psychosis, psychedelics are not recommended.

    good luck!

    Well, in some cases extreme boredom is caused by depression. Nothing in life seems interesting. 

    Another reason is that our culture has become overstimulated. We're always seeking a quick fix. (There's no need to become a monk, though. Find the middle path instead.) 

    Ponder this: the obsessive desire for more stimulation is just a symptom. There are underlying causes for that.

    Psychosis is nothing more than the fear to let go of the EGO and seeing reality directly through 6th sense only. 

    I know this because i had once 2 weeks of sleep deprivation. 

     

    So, Awakening in plain words is psychosis, schizofrenia, you name it... but, the one who awakens and follows breath in a short time will come to realize that all that are just facets, small bits of an entire picture. 

    Maybe the fastest way to awaken is to not sleep. The majority freak out because they did not suffered in their lives. 

    So what is happening to you is simply how EGO DEATH feels like :) 

     

    ?‍♂️ 

     

    Sleep deprivation produces a “high” that mascarades as awakening, but truth is, it  leads sooner or later to dangerous consequences.

    Advertising your method as a miracle cure for any ailment that will "turn your life into a paradise" is rediculous bs. Any rational person can see that. Has there been any studies on the effectiveness of this method, or is it arguments for it purely anecdotal? The way you advertise it makes me wonder if you are its originator or otherwise have something personaly to gain.

    Our time is limited and valuable. There are several powerful methods that have been advocated by sages for millenia and have scientifically documented effects (through rigorous double blind placebo studies). These include mindfulness, loving kindness, prayer and yoga. What reason do we have to chose your particular method? 

    Agreed!

    In your next conversation, if there comes a break in the conversation, try to let the silence in there as long as possible. Actually, thats what I do in most conversations. It feels very good to me and does so much for deeper connection. For me it feels authentic and genuine.

    For example, when you talk to someone on the phone or what ever and you feel like you are out of things to say, instead of saying "good bye" and ending the conversation just stay in there - wait. Let the other person end the conversation if they want.

    It is so powerful.

    In our culture, that does not work very well. Yes, there are moments where we can share silence with another person. But in most cases, it just becomes an awkward silence. In my opinion, it's better to practice small talk. The Wikipedia entry is pretty interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_talk 

     

    Well, to me, the key to interacting well with others is all about how much you can relax into the moment. Not always easy to do so. And forcing yourself too much to say something, be relaxed, etc. is counterproductive.
