[kbone]

De-program the conditioned mind by questioning its every motive, even the one's that says it needs a practice or a method or a routine.

Disclaimer: It may get a little maddening, likely very much so. It's OK.

[strika]

1. Try to catch myself, basically being conscious throughout the day, trying to see the ego and it's potential traps while doing anything, but it happens naturally at this point, no more trying really, it's like meditation but in mundane life and it comes naturally mostly because of these next 3 habits, especially No-sleep

2. Semen retention/brahmacharya

3. Breatharianism

4. No-sleep

5. Learning from others, videos, this forum, books etc.

 

Bonus: being in nature, it always raises the vibration so it's nice

[Ishanga]

1) Realizing NOW is all there is, past is memory, future is imagination, making this a realization rather than an Intellectual concept..

2) Accept this Moment is Inevitable, that what is going on now situationally is the way it is, this stop stress Response in its tracks...

3) Respond to Life, don't React to Life situations, Responding is Awareness becoming Active and Dynamic, Reacting is Awareness Stagnant...

4) Shambhavi Mahamudra

5) Observing Mind Patterns and Ego rising and falling throughout the Day!

1. Mantra meditation

2. Dropping concepts that are overlaying reality as you stare at your hand

3. Contemplate the nature of happiness and satisfaction

4.  Mindful driving, be aware of what flickers of possible future scenarios' show up in your mind's eye as you are driving. 

5. Pay attention to people's body language and facial expressions and how they are feeling as you talk with them.

These two are really good. I'll include these in my practice as well. Thank you.

I just gave this list but the main thing I do to grow spiritually lately is to do quality work and participate with good effort in my normal human affairs. This could be called “Karma yoga” essentially. 
 

1. Read spiritual texts. I prefer reading older texts lately. Newer books can give great results, but it’s easy to become misguided on what a spiritual tradition or practice actually teaches and consists of if only using modern sources. I’m currently reading the Majjhima Nikāya (The Middle Length Discourses of the Buddha)

2. Contemplate what I read. 
3. Meditation aimed at experiencing mainly the first Jhana or Jhanas 1-4. 
4. Listen to audiobooks of spiritual texts or established teachers as well as watching videos occasionally. 
5. Working on recognizing problematic mind states and thought patterns and ideally cutting them off before they become toxic or ego-filled

 A couple more...

Mantra or the Science of Using Sounds, with this (why the importance of a Guru) certain sounds and how You perform them are Consecrated meaning they are like Keys to the Universe and such, if done right they can open You up in many Empowering ways, AUM is the basic sound of the Existence, repeat saying it and it vibrations coming about correctly and things start to happen, but concentration on the vibration is important!

Less Discernment and Judgement, the Ego luvs to Judge, listen to it Judging all day, then create a space btwn it, as well concerning Discernment, just sense observe with Eye's Ears without Discriminating or Labelling, just See and Hear, and that will open  You up in ways as well...
