INTEGRATE Lower Stages of the Spiral: 50+ PRACTICAL STEPS (Long rant)

Here is my last insight:
  Being developed in the spiral is NOT about how high (you think) you are. Is about where your LOWER BOTTLE-NECK is.   You are going to be limited by the lowest stage that you don’t have integrated. You can be fully enlightened, God realized, billionaire, deep understandings of complex systems bla bla bla… but if you have back pain, a gut problems, migraines, sleep deficiency, or you don’t control your sexual/sugar/online cravings, or don’t have a tribe/family or deep meaningful rituals, you are going to be miserable.
  Is not about reaching turquoise as fast as you can. Is about integrating the lower stages as deep as possible.  Not trying to scape them. Understand it. Enjoy it, fully embrace it. Live it. Savour it. If not, everything else will be an overcompensation.
  *The lower the stage, the more important it is to develop and integrate it.* And you will realize that the spiral maybe is not that linear, and purple and turquoise may be closer than we initially believe)     Im building from this ‘classic’ thread by Reeves:   -Im aware that this could be a bastardization of SD, but is practical knowledge) Is a simple way to structure stuff, so it’s easier to implement). -When I talk about this, it doesn’t mean I integrated it all. I still work to do. If I write this is because Im working on it. Im not above anyone).   So. Lets take a look a these lower stages:     BEIGE.
- Healthy eating. No sugar cravings. Basically not being fat. - Try keto for at least 2 weeks. - Try a 24h fast.
  This is not even stage blue discipline.  Is prior to that. -How are you going to go for a (purple) hike or a camping if you are 20kg overweight? Or if you have sugar cravings? Or if you have some bodily pain? Or if you are zero energy or zero cardio? -How are you are going to be intimidating when you need (red) if you are too fat or to skinny?   - Proper sleep. Be well rested. Have energy to get through the day.   - Correct your posture.    HUGE 
  -Learn how to sit properly (Avoiding back & neck pain). This shit can ruin your life.
  -Sit less on chairs, and more on the ground even if its uncomfortable at first.
-Learn about ankle, hip, shoulder mobility; psoas stretching if needed and check for imbalances.
  - Body movement. . HUGE Here you have some great examples (notice the guy on the left is 60 years old):   People will say the first one is green, but that is not even yoga. Is just basically becoming a baby or a mammal again.  Just moving. No goal. You can’t start a serious green-yoga practice if you are stiff like a rock. Get in touch with being a baby again. Move. Crawl. Be stupid. Think less. Be less civilized. You will enjoy purple more Spend more time on the ground.    - Breathe properly. Again, like a baby (through the nose. Diaphragmatic breathing)
