Hey guys, Today I went to the Isha foundation in London and the session was focused on AUM chanting. It was a great experience and I really reccomend it. The foundation really humbles you to the scientific proccess of Yoga. I also got a copper snake ring.

I have noticed that there could be major benefits of awakening on a bodybuilder. For example, they will have a greater disipline, pain tolerance, body awareness etc etc.

Parasitic thoughts can't win against deep breathwork and self-inquiry.

@Pouya It's frightening but you have to overcome it by denying the possibility of plan B, giving up.

@Ysabelle A dog is tired when it runs in the park, humans aren't any different.

Try this meditation technique it's really fun. Close your left eye and focus on the actuality of your nose. Close your right eye and again look at your nose. Now open your eyes and try to see from inside your nose.

@ColdFacts The battle is between breath into the lower lungs/upper stomach and breath only to the upper lungs. As you breathe deeper thoughts clear the mind, that's how you win the war.

@ColdFacts Spinal Awareness, Breath work and Self-Inquiry are my three favourite spiritual methods. Personally, I would say just get started on any practice, and don't think too much about it just do the work. The theory is supplement to the work once you have enough foundation of what you need to do.

@ColdFacts Your lower self is your lower three chakra ( Triangle 1) and you Higher self is the upper three chakras (Triangle 2) and they meet together at the heart chakra to form the star of David, where you don't have to battle with either identity. That's what I have experienced but from what I understand everyone can have different experiences.

@Sahil Pandit I am really into bodybuilding, I still am, but I am coming back into it with a fitness mindset along with avoiding materialistic paridgm and narcissism.

@Inliytened1 I see bodybuilders wear hoodies and they only focus on training instead of mirror gazing. I like Phil Heath's advice to take physique pics and focus on what you want to sculpt so that your body in a sense is an art project.

@Inliytened1 Yeah, I have been more focused on the fitness aspects now also, I liked old school body builders because they had a lot of stomach awareness (vaccumm poses)

Breathwork has been so effective for me and I wanted to share this inisght that everything from earth is essentially poisoning you. Why would you extremely poison yourself (constantly) to chase enlightenment via drugs when you can do safer practices such as yoga, breathwork, meditation etc.

@Shadowraix If you want to use these substances to have breakthroughs you can, but to have a maintained bliss without external requirement, you will need to now how the body works. Try Guided Breathwork after a breakthrough and you'll realise the implications of your body being a DMT machine.

@Nahm

@Nahm The self is the best teacher of Self. Just because there exists objects inside of Self, it doesn't mean they are pure teachers.

@Nahm The medicine is always from within.

Warning: Make sure you are in a safe place when performing this as fear may arrise which must be faced right there. Also, you are totally responsible for anything that happens to you. Also note: you could pass out and fall so have some pillows to fall on or sit in a lotus position (can be difficult to get lumbar arch of spine however) Your lumbar spine needs a slight lumbar curve. Breathe deep into you lungs and push from the upper lungs deep into the lower lungs and upper belly. Stretch your belly also by raising your chest up. You have to push air into your upper stomach at the same time imagine you are trying to pull imwards (two counter forces - implosion) Imagine this force as trying to stop peeing. Notice that to apply this pressure air escapes out your mouth/nose Lock the mouth by placing the roof on the top of the mouth and tucking the chin (double chin) so that you can keep the air inside your body's air canister. Hold for 30 seconds. Exhale and Hold for 7 seconds.

@Moreira It's a lifelong investment, there's no shortcuts.

@Shadowraix It's not a supplement it's a steroid. It's also seduction at it's finest.

@Shadowraix I agree drugs should be viewed from a neutral standpoint. Yes they can produce Enligtenment experiences, but to make your body the drug is much more reassuring and blissful imo.

@Jed Vassallo It's like falling of the monkey bars as a kid scared and then laughing when you hit the ground realizing there was nothing to fear.

@Shakazulu Key Compound Lifts + Progression = Most of your Size and Strength gains. Isolation is icing on the cake. Compounds are the cake! Single Progression Increase the weight each workout e.g. 5x5 40kg 5x5 42.5kg 5x5 45kg Double Progression When single progression ceases, move onto double progression where you increase reps before increasing weight E.g. 5x (5,5,5,5,5) 45kg 5x (6,6,6,6,6) 45kg 5x (4,4,4,4,4) 47.5kg 5x (6,6,6,5,4) 47.5kg
