Ah okay, thanks! I just feel it's quite hard to obtain the SHEEE sound, the exhalation, because when I contract my glottis I can't get air through, so it just has to be a narrow opening in the exhalation right? And do I exhale calmly or with some force?

Regarding this Ujjayi Pranayama, I find it really difficult to get the SHAAW and SHEEE sounds. Also the picture in the book shows that oxygen is going through the mouth, not through the nose?

That's amazing how creative we get in these deep-focused states. When I did my first Vipassana 10-day retreat, two dudes left on the 5th day, because they felt so creative, they were going to start a business. I also remember myself being super creative and my thinking and dreams became so much more vivid.

Awesome thread Leo, thank you so much for sharing!

Any tips for not getting wet dreams? When I am on NoFap, I tend to get wet dreams atleast one time pr. week. Also when I'm on the toilet, semen leakage is not uncommon. And btw, nice journal OP. I'm on day 7, my highest streak is 228 days.

That'd be so awesome!

@Ether Cool is it just a one day session / few hours? I'm also used to only meditate 20-30 minutes. So it's going to be hardcore haha.

@Ether I was just curious

@Ether Ofc it's almost impossible to meditate for 10 hours straight. But I guess I have to try it, to find out. I've heard alot of good stuff about these retreats. What do you think about it?

@Ether 10 hours a day. You can see their program right here: https://www.dhamma.org/en/about/code Scroll down to the bottom.

I don't know if this counts, but last year on a shroom trip by myself, I had some very mild form of awakening, it was like everything I had ever worried about was gone, and everything was just perfect, in the most beautiful order. The same day before I was tripping I had heard a specific song, but didn't knew the name of it and spend an hour or so trying to find it on the internet, but just couldn't. I really liked the song! Then as I was having an amazing time on shrooms, I opened my door to my back garden and somewhere close to me some people were having a party and that exact song got turned on, exactly as I opened the door to my back garden. And everything just felt even more magical.. Can't describe it with words haha The song was: Coldplay - Hymn for the weekend Seeb remix. Now it's just a meh song haha Looking forward to my Vipassana 10 day retreat in India in April.

Just start
