Thank you! What kind of meditation?

Also resonates!!

Every time I try to post it starts quoting another reply that I don’t want to reply to then I can’t delete it. Anyone know how to correct this? @Leo Gura I’ve heard you ask so just saying I think this limits a lot of possible posts/communication. Also having to wait 90 seconds between posts! @Razard86 @Razard86: ” Anger is an expression of lack of control, and also a judgment against your self. You probably do not like yourself very much, you probably do not like your environment, and probably do not like your life. Here are things you probably have issues with. Your looks, your family relationships, your relationships with non-family members, your relationship with the culture you are raised in and what it values and how you judge yourself in relation to those values. So basically you do not feel accepted by your family, your culture, and ultimately yourself. You feel trapped inside a box and want to get out but have no idea how. You know you have worth, but you don't see it being reflected back to you by others and as a result it pisses you off.” You feel like others do not truly see you, and you feel alone. Does any of what I said resonate with you? Or am I full of B.S.? Let me know.... —— @Razard86 definitely resonates! ^

Wow wow wow some great replies here. Thanks so much @Leo Gura for creating and maintaining this space. @Devin it’s hard to say since like you mentioned doubt isn’t really emotional. But they pass though, not exactly sure if it’s bc I’m observing them or they just pass on there on. Thanks @SOUL So are you saying to basically just ignore it? Makes sense I’m just thinking if there really is a reason to be feeling the anger if ignoring it would be basically the same as repressing/ignoring it.

I definitely feel those especially doubt but don’t think I repress it. I think I try to feel it as much as possible (speaking of doubt specifically since it seems like a tricky one)? I feel like doubt comes with awakening? Your starting to doubt what once the ego backed up with confidence, etc.

Like what emotion?

Good question, thanks for asking. So many things. I had a bad concussion a while back and that’s when the anger turned to fury/rage. I mean ever since I was small I had pretty bad anger outbursts but it got really bad after the concussion. My mom said I had a concussion as a toddler (a different one than mentioned above), concussions are known to cause anger just fyi, also on both sides of my family a lot of anger especially in the men (the hypo macho aggressive masculine type) so genetics could play a role. I was teased a lot as a kid but was shy so never stood up for myself. But at home with my mom and brother and a couple of close friends it would show a lot. Once I was a teenager fights with my mom started to get really bad. Now I’ve opened my heart again and it seems I’m getting easily offended by things like I did before my “bad concussion”, which is bringing up a lot of anger. Also I’ve recently discovered although she’s been a great mom to me and getting better she is a legit narcissist, so I know a lot of anger surrounding that. But to pinpoint exactly where the anger comes from I’m not sure.

I’m not trying to open my 3rd eye just activate it. Osho says that’s where determination and willpower come from. I’m trying to strengthen my willpower and determination but not trying to open my 3rd eye. If it eventually happens naturally ok but I don’t want to force it. He says when meditating to focus on 3rd eye. Also to strengthen will and determination to basically push yourself to do something even when you don’t feel like it. What do you think?

Just went to see one to help improve the relationship between me and my mom. She seems like she asks good questions and can get to the bottom of things; and help me with some stuff in my life. However she wasn’t high conscious, she wasn’t present, seems like the someone who drinks beers at a bar, and gets angry easily, like take no crap type. Just trying to paint a picture for you. What do you think? A therapist needs to be high consciousness? I’ve been on the path some years now and it would definitely be nice if I had a present high conscious person. However like I said seems she can get to the bottom of things. I want to make a decision soon. I guess I can keep seeing other therapist till I find one I like. Thanks!

Exactly

Thanks

Yup yup yup, thanks!

So I’ve tried everything! From the most important one (having a purpose), to all the ones in between (set your phone far away from you, splash water in your first right after waking up, the 5 second rule (be out of bed within 5 seconds of waking up, go straight for a run outside, having a good bedtime routine (sleep hygiene, no blue light or food a few hours before bed, etc) intentions, prayers, affirmations, you name it I’ve done it)). I don’t have a strong purpose to wake up yet. The job im doing atm is one to help pay the bills but it’s not a passion. Im still figuring that out as I continue to grow and get to know myself better. I’ve chosen purposes such as to help make a better future for myself to exercising to get in better shape to lead a healthier and happier life but nothing motivates me. I feel with all this deep consciousness work I’ve done it’s challenging to move me from my center! So let’s say in the daytime im super motivated to go to bed and get up at a certain time, but then night time comes around and I lose all motivation and can’t see anything more important than getting a good nights sleep as I prioritize sleep so highly ? Im at the point where im considering outsourcing someone in Asia to FaceTime me same time every morning and if i’m not out running for example when he/she calls then I have to deposit $5 into a fund that I won’t get back. I don’t think I’ll do this but looking for some smart, out of the box tips for waking up! I’m at a point of my life where I really need to start making some changes and I know waking up early will be one of the best or the best thing I can do for myself right now! Please help!

Done this, for it to work best need to be in tune with the subconscious, know it’s going to happen. Thanks!

Bump..

Thank you.

Yess thank you! I had noticed that night before last. I for the first time in a really long time slept w my curtains open and already woke up feeling energized because of the sunlight that was coming in.I also sleep with a sleep mask on.

Yeah this definitely has occurred to me recently. Why is my body wanting to stay in bed, it’s asking for it

Thank you!

Thanks

I know getting there but in the meantime would love to align with waking up early finding another way

Will give it a try. Thanks!

Thanks! My mom mentioned this but I got kind of triggered when she did, you know how that goes sometimes we don’t listen to our parents lol. But I will give this a try. Thanks!
