If you're passionate/see the value in mastering Enlgish, it wouldn't be a bad idea to become a translator. I remember talking to a Buddhist teacher who translated an English book to Hebrew, it have her a really solid understanding of the content.

I did Nofap for about half a year. Urine can get mixed in with semen, causing it do have yellow in colour. Wet dreams happened multiple times per week, which was kind of annoying as I was changing my sheets quite a bit. When I was with a girl, I would finish in lightning speed. I kind of understand porn though. I feel as though watching porn disconnected me from touch, and that I was becoming sexually attracted to a computer screen. I am not sure if this directly contributed to erectile function but mine is definitely been influenced in some way. Porn has been an issue for me as I would use it to distract myself from work, and my tastes were getting rather graphic. My approach at the moment is to void all internet porn (have been going a month strong) and this week I'm seeing how only masturbating once a week feels.

Make sure you do it during a break so you can focus.

I don't think it is technically Holotropic Breathwork if you do it alone. From my understanding Stanislav Grof's technique involves a facilitator, music, the breathing technique and also a sitting partner. You probably want to be clear about what technique you're doing and have an understanding of the process. Breathwork like Leo's shamanic breathing or the Wim Hof method are pretty simple and not risky, so long as your taking deep breaths and aren't prone to epilepsy.

Doesn't butt get sore from sitting so long?

(This popped into my head last night) If I was interviewing Leo, I would start with personal development questions, more inquiring into what is possible for people's own development, then as the interview progressed I would get into to metaphysics. It would start like: - What is personal development? Why does this study deserve people's attention? - Could you describe your vision for the development of people/humanity? .... And then build to: - what is reality? - why does humanity exist? - what is god? etc.

Has anyone attended a Holotropic Breathwork workshop? Thinking of attending one in April.

If you are in fact mercury/heavy metal toxic, chances are this will negatively effect the function of your adrenals. Therefore fasting will just cause unnecessary stress to the adrenal glands. Before you're actually chelating its probably okay, but whilst you're regularly taking a chelating agent (e.g. ALA), I've heard this can put unnecessary stress on the body. As for eating certain foods, stay away from Chlorella. A lot of naturopaths, homeopaths are convinced that it can detox heavy metals, however there are many horror stories of how it has worsened people's symptoms. The issue with it is hard to measure how long it lasts in the body as a chelating (detoxing) agent, so although pick up the mercury and carry it around the body, it is unclear if or when it will eject it from the body (via sneeze, urine etc. Which are ways the body detoxes heavy metals). So the issue is that it could pick up mercury that is stored in the thigh muscle, and then redistribute it in the brain making you bipolar or something. (I only mention this because it is used really commonly). There's an elimination diet in Andy Cutler's new book to determine if you are sensitive to thiols. If so, I would recommend Jillaine Kay's cookbook on low thiol cooking. As for saunas, probably stay away from infrared saunas, they supposedly don't heat the body evenly so are not ideal for detoxing. Stick to traditional steam saunas and Finnish Saunas (which are way more relaxing imo). I've heard people use these at the end of a chelation (detox) round, but these methods are like 2% of the process, it's most important to research Andy Cutler Chelation.

Go to the Andy Cutler Chelation website and forum, and follow every step of the process. If the research you have done does not mention the dangers of heavy metal redistribution when beginning to detox, then this is probably dangerous advice to follow. If you half ass a heavy metal detox you will for sure debilitate yourself, people have been driven to suicide caused by mistakes made whilst detoxing.

I tried to do the life purpose course during my final year of high school. I also tried to do enlightenment work during this time, and keep up a yoga practice. My biggest take-away from this time was that I simply wasn't mature enough nor good at taking care of myself, to be doing hours of spiritual practice. I had to revert back to working on my career, my emotions, hatha yoga, working on my health and also socialising and pickup. The deal I made with myself is that once I have ruled out mercury toxicity, and am self-employed, I will start doing more intense spiritual practice.

One of the first steps to self-actualizing is finding healthy ways to relax. Maybe try a couple of days of replacing video games with a nature walk, some meditation, a sauna, a mixture of these etc. I posted a thread a few weeks ago asking people their ways of relaxing and got some really good suggestions.

Buddhist Groups Satsangs Reiki classes Wholefoods/health food stores Yoga classes Wim Hof workshops

Pfizer, headache for like 10 minutes, fatigue for a day.

He said when launching Petreon that eventually he could open a retreat centre, he also made a thread like 2018 talking about being motivated to do in-person events. With covid, especially considering that the USA have been absolutely dreadful at handling the virus outbreak, probably not going to happen anytime soon imo.

Hmm. Smells like a victim mentality to me.

My apologies, I misread your post as "Leo is trying to pussyfoot around..." haha.

How are you going to trip with a broken neck?

Traditional steam saunas are best; I have heard dry saunas can not heat the body evenly.

I'd love to hear from people's experience: I'm thinking about becoming really good at copywriting and graphic design, so that I can get full-time freelance work, and be able to actualize my own entrepreneurial projects such as a public speaking event for young people I am organising at the moment. If I try to get good at Graphic Design and Copywriting at the same time, is there a risk to me being only mediocre at these skills due to not giving full attention to one of them? I'm pretty confident that if I put in the work I can get good at both. Thoughts?

Matcha has L-Theanine which has a calming effect, so it counter-acts the effects of caffeine giving you a relaxed alertness (in theory). Also loose leaf green tea has ECGC which helps the function of the immune system. Liquorice tea is stimulating as well, and helps with digestion. At the moment I am using green tea a lot due to not implementing a good sleep schedule as of yet. But when I get that sorted, I think I'll try cutting out caffeine all together and see how I feel.

awesome advice, thanks very much

I don't think it is pointless at all, I just think it is funny that both parties are given the same advice; don't be needy/play hard to get. In my experience neediness will drive people away like a horrible smell would, but no girl has ever asked me on a date. Someone's obviously got to push the relationship forwards. Perhaps this is one of those paradoxes of personal development Leo talks about.

There are so many exercises to do/principles to implement from the must-read list - go for it homie

A really simple first step would be asking the question 'where is my customer?'; Where are they physically, where are their social media profiles. Also what are their interests, likes dislikes etc. You want to create a profile to understand what problems they face and want to solve, and the things they want to achieve so that you can then adjust your pitch accordingly.

The coaches I've all spoken to have said: Step 1: Find a training program that resonates with you and complete it. iPEC are now offering remote training at the moment.
