Daily enlightenment work

[bejapuskas]

Hey guys, I am kind of new to Actualized.org and I am wondering, what should my daily enlightenment work habit look like? What did you guys do in the beginning?

i'd start by listing every aspect of my life that doesn't feel "right" and try to connect the dots, checking if i could see common root causes and patterns in them. and then i'd make a plan to overcome all of them by working on the causes of my suffering.

in fact, that's what i did ~4 years ago.

Pick one Habit and commit to it 100%. Take Enlightenment at a steady pace. If you are new I would start by implementing a simple 20min meditation practice and a daily reading practice. After about 90 days of meditation, you can start contemplation, Self Inquiry or  Yoga (kriya, kundalini, deity, etc)

Wish you well and please ask any questions

@ajasatya @YogiLogan  Thank you for replying! Well, maybe i am not that kind of newbie... I have experienced PTSD before, so I was trying to improve my life, looking at all those „youtube gurus“, going in and out of the serious work, couldnt really feel the benefits.

After that I got my eyes opened a bit more and disposed of most of the negative motivations, trying to judge and gossip, even meditated and took cold showers for a few weeks, but then our house started to get reconstructed and theres so much noise I cant really focus on anything...

I probably put the question wrong, I am watching Leo SERIOUSLY (taking notes, contemplating, re-reading) for about 2-3 months, but am trying to get back, as I lost the track...

@ajasatya @YogiLogan Actually, which habits did you mean?

[ajasatya]

@bejapuskas mindfulness is very powerful. observe what triggers the patterns that you want to purge from your life.

@ajasatya  I will probably do more contemplation and enlightenment work every day. I also want to add exercise. Do you have any idea on how to utilize school breaks? Did you try Wim Hof method by the way? It really does things for me.

@ajasatya  I am planning to go to a retreat with a friend of mine. I am very excited, what does it actually do?

it's a training process. you train yourself to be present.
