Ultimately chakras are distractions. There's no self, no chakras and we can't do anything. Chakras is in body consciousness which is illusory. I'm sorry but I can't see how chakras can be more real than anything else. They come and go and they are not who you are. Remember that everything has to go in the end!

This completely depends on what perspective you are using. Confusion is needed to become clear!

What's the difference? But if I had to choose I would pick self realization.

How are you going to do that without practice?

You should definitely start practicing self inquiry and do it 24/7. Question everything but the work is most effective when you ask yourself "Who am I?" Do you practicing vipassana? Meditate minimum 1 hour everyday, more the better. And also do concentrated self inquiry 1 hour everyday. You could do that or you could realize right now that what you point to when you say "I" is a complete illusion. You don't have a life and what you are looking for is your own death. But you don't know it yet. There's nothing but awareness being aware and whatever comes after is illusory. Either way. Meditation is best done without expectations.

Thank you for sharing! This is what life seems to be and talking about it just makes it complicated

Why do I have the need to feel I'm right in the first place?

I'm happy for you, egoless for your insights. Compassion will always be the way to go

Less is more

There will always be a sense of self even though they do not mean the same after realization. The end of questions is what's left

Yes! It's a dream! The most beautiful dream there is! But... That doesn't change that ultimately it's just a dream. Enjoy it

Hell Yeah!!! Good work man! Remember how miserable you were back then! Look at you now! ??????

Meditation every single day. Yes! I fully agree ❤️

Deep meditation is just like the deep sleep. Do you have a body in deep sleep?

Hi, Thank you for sharing and I feel you are very concerned about this matter. I don't think a name is necessary and I don't think that trying to find a solution is what you need. When the body goes through something like this it can at first be very unreal and scary. You are going through some big change in how you see yourself. The more open you are that your body is going through this the easier it gets for you. After all... you are not the body and mind. The thoughts in the head are not your thoughts. No doctor will find a solution to your problem and neither will a psychologist do. I think it's time to fully trust your experience and stay with it. Whatever you feel, just feel it. If you are worried then let it be like that. The more we try to find solutions the more lost we get and that's when we get wrinkles in the forehead. I have no idea who you are and what will work for you. The only thing I know is that it is alright, it will be alright and it has always been alright. Everything you experience is exactly that. Experiences. Remind yourself that you are not experience nor will you ever find who you are. You can only be who you are. Doing and trying to figure out things are bound to lead to more confusion. Maybe try to meditate more but with ZERO expectation. Maybe pranayama. Maybe yoga. Maybe something. But do not stay where you are and try to think your way out of this. In a while, this will just be a vague memory. But now it is very real. Let go. Relax. Everything is alright. Don't give it too much attention if you don't have to. Much love

8 hours seems long for a monk. The monks I have met sleeps maybe 5-6 hours and they wake up 3.30. But the monks I have met are does not follow Buddhism

I don't know about you guys but these kinds of discussions makes me really tired! It's very far from being <3

@Nahm That was amazing!!!

Who says you are right in the first place? That's the only question I have for you so you can question more deeply. The problem is never other people and it is never because of you. What's left is only compassion for others and yourself. Practice makes it more understandable. Much love

If you want to self realize, yoga exercise alone will never take you there. Yoga is good because i enables one to sit more in meditation I highly recommend starting a daily meditation practice. Vipassana will suggest 2 hours daily but that's to much for most. If you can do 30-60 minutes every day you will be amazed. And I'm not kidding. Much love

Please tell me you meditate

Not scared for having a bad trip is all you need. You are well prepared! I don't know so much about dosage but 150 seems to little! Correct if I'm wrong

I think you have done all the things you need to be done. Your mind is full of questions and doubts. You don't have to prepare more. See where the trip goes and you will remember all your questions during the trip and some questions will be completely irrelevant. I suggest you question your beliefs and yourself in general. What you do months and years before is more important than setting a goal just days before. Remember: Everything is alright now. Everything is alright during the trip and everything is alright after the trip.

Don't do anything. Just observe. It's just another experience and it's not more important than other experiences. Soon it will pass
