It's super simple. Watch this and do it yourself. I tried it once. It's pretty nice, in a short while I realized that even though the body and the world are wirrling, I am still. It made me pretty sick though, so I never did it again. -
Your body wants to flow "Just follow the flow. Learn to get into no-mind and just let yourself be guided by the wisdom of nature all around you." Master Paul Chek shows everyone how to connect with the world around us by using the body. Breathe deeply. Keep your spine up. Smile. Don't have a plan. Let the energy move through you.

A tribute to Leo Leo, you keep blowing me away. This series was seriously highly, highly valuable. This is an amazing map to growth that you presented us with. Stage Turquoise video showed very well, that enlightenment is not all there is. That can be a trap. As Ken Wilber says, besides Waking Up there is still Growing Up to do! And finally, Leo, I would like to thank you for you! You are doing an amazing job showing us all what an actualized person can do and how much value he can be bringing to others. I am pretty sure you have no idea what kind of an influence you are

I am considering to do a water fast next week. However I have to go to work also. My work is not too demanding, but it is physical and I have to be standing all day. Do you think it should be ok?
-
@Solace Thanks! Great answer! I did fasting in the past for 1, 2 and 3 days. However I stopped doing it in the last few months and some junk food creeped into my diet. I thought I could do a longer fast right now and clean the temple thoroughly. But I see you have experience and I will defenietly take your advice about doing it gradually into consideration I will start the fast and will continue according to how I feel I guess. No need to push myself too much.

@Solace Your contribution about eating to this forum is most inspirational, Solace! I agree that we should all strive to get energy in its most raw and pure form. Although not all of us can go breatharian with our current lifestyles and physiology, all of us can decide not to support the sick meat industry.

Fight the Meatrix Get organic meat, guy!

Caring for your temple 4 These lectures stress listening to your own body over following a strict diet. They also give useful guidance, of course. Quotes: "We need to work with what we have in order to get what we are seeking." "The more you practice good nutrition, the more your body is gonna tell you what it needs." Notes: Discusses the research of Weston A. Price into how modern diet is destroying our lives and how it is threatening our existence as species alltogether. https://www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/abcs-of-nutrition/principles-of-healthy-diets-2/#guidelines This webpage is an amazing resource into treating the body in a healthy way.

Yeah. Just sharing a cool story. -
You know how sometimes you have dreams, that seem like much more than regular dreams? Well this one was one of them, and man, was it powerful. Some notes from my dream journal: We came for a meeting. There was about 15 of us. A guy tells us, that when we go upstairs, there will be someone there. We will know who it is. We will not be able to turn our eyes from him. He tells us, that he has always been at these meetings and that it is all about him. I don't really believe it. We go upstairs. There is a lot of people sitting everywhere. I know, that it is the old man. Imeddiately. Everyone's attention is on him. He is like a magnet. I pretend like He isn't effecting me. I look at everyone but Him. Still my attention is totally on him. It's impossible to be otherwise. Everyone is trying to get a seat, so that they could see Him well. Everyone is quiet. Then He speaks. He speaks about time, how quickly it flies. We know it is not true for him. We, the listeners constatly change, but he is always at these meetings. He is sitting in a relaxed manner, comfortabely, one leg over the other. I look at him discretely. I am intimidated by his presence and infinitely attracted. Hia gaze is daring, but good, loving. The end. I am in darkness. I hear these words: "Hypnosis implemented. Seed has been planted. There is a new way of seeing in you now." I am frightened. To prove it to me, the voice says: "What did you learn? What are you supposed to do?" There is a non-verbal, involuntary response, impulse to that question coming from me. I am so frightened that I am loosing control. I wake up. My heart is beating like crazy. I am frightened. How could this have happened? My defences were penetrated! Something ia taking control of me from inside! There was absolutely no doubt that it was true. Something has been implanted in me. During the rest of the night I woke up several times to a changed perception. I percieved the whole existence insde of me. By morning the shock was over, but the memory remained very vivid. Accidentaly, 2 days ago I attended a darshan with a realized master. At night, when I was panicking, I blamed the master for the implant. Well? Crazy stuff, right?

@Kevin5Prower Hi! I regulary have all kinds of strange "spiritual" experiences while on the verge of sleep. It's gteat! Looks like something is happening there for us! Don't dwell on it too much though. Just stuff happening. It's not back there, in that experience. It's always here and now

Anything we want is what we are What do we want? Happy thoughts = thoughts infused with what we are A helathy body = a body infused with what we are Pleasant emotions = emotions infused with what we are Good relationships = relationships infused with what we are It is just so easy. We do not have to understand how we get what we want. We do not need a plan. We do not need self imposed rules being repeated in our minds. Before - I studied how to be healthy and vibrant. Planned. Contemplated. Made commitments. Failed. Introspected again. Journaled. Failed. Struggled. Failed. Was determined. Failed. Was surrendering. Failed. Now - I am healthy and vibrant. The mind doesn't get it. How come I got what I wanted if I didn't do anything? Because what I wanted is what I am.

@Dan Arnautu That is some solid work you did there. Good job and thanks for sharing

Today I met with a realized master. She could tell I practice Kriya just by looking and me, and I have been practicing for only a month. Keep going, guys. It's working even if you don't know it. -
Dealing with a guru This is a video a watched some time ago. Explains the immense benefit a genuine guru can bring to a person's spiritual journey, as well as the traps that the seeker can fall into in the presence of such a being.

The eyes of a guru Today I met a special person. She is being called a satguru. The time with her was so relaxed and friendly. Above all relaxed. Everyone was sooo chill. In the end of the meeting she gave what she called a darshan. People would aproach her individualy, give her their hand, look into her eyes for a while and recieve a hug in the end. When it was my turn, I was a bit nervous. But as I sat in front of her, all stress was gone. What did it feel like? Like melting. Afterwards I went to have a talk with her. She was so natural. So natural. It seems like I only met fake, terrified people until now. Miracously, the words she said made every bit of my doubt about my life disappear. It's like she new exactly what my heart longed to hear for a long, long time. I left the place grinning and laughing on and of like a mad man.

Healthy self-improvment A healthy way of self actualization cannot start with an egoic desire. It starts (at least in my case) with a big dose of fruatration. I am so frustrated of seeing that more action brings no desired results, just the opposite. There comes a certain giving up on neurotic action and an internal, spontaneous commitment to being and feeling comes. In the past I have tried to keep mindfullnes going throughout the day, because I figured it would be beneficial. More self-judgment and self-critisism followed, because I could not do it. After giving up on ego driven action more and more, mindfulnes is all that remains more and more.
-
Neurotic self-improvment Only after doing self actualization for over 2 years, I am starting to understand what Leo is saying in this video. I am starting to see what the real work is about. It is not about discipline. Not about force. Not about strict rules. None of that works in the end. That is why meditation is so basic in order to get anywhere. It is the yin side of life. The allowing. And as far as I know, all of us could use a lot more of it.

I did a 7 day retreat and would recommend at least that much time if not more. With every day it went deeper and deeper. -
