@Shiva yes and for the record, the world famous vipassana teacher S.N Goenka was also a business man before vipassana made him woke

Have you heard of the Isha Foundation? Their Inner Engineering program has had phenomenal results in treating Insomnia with about 90% success rate. It is a 21 minute daily practice which you can learn. The programme is a 4 day retreat available in almost every major country Check it out here. Feel free to ask any questions https://www.innerengineering.com/ieo-new/total/

Many yogis and enlightened masters talk about reincarnation. If it is true, then suicide is definitely not the end to any suffering because you will be right back here to 'suffer' more. Having said that anything will not seem true for you until you have a direct experience of it, so you wouldn't know for sure if reincarnation is real. But is it worth taking that chance? Killing the body doesn't mean the end to the real you. Killing body will limit you from experiencing the physicality of existence but that doesn't mean you cease to exist. There is nowhere to go. If anyone is in a state of suicide, it is most probably because the mental structure has become a mess. There are ways to undo it. Real Yoga and meditation are few of the tools you can use

There are literally thousands of Inner Engineering programmes happening around the world in a year. So Sadhguru cannot physically attend them all. They will be conducted under trained teachers who are able to initiate you into the technique just as well as Sadhguru would. Sadhguru conducts only a handful of Inner Engineering programmes by himself every year. The next one is in July in Melbourne

Glad to hear that. I think what Sadhguru has accomplished in the last two decades could take some people lifetimes to achieve. I think anyone here can definitely benefit spiritually from what Isha Foundation has to offer. Specially from their Yoga programmes. They have an establishment in almost every major Western and Eastern country one way or another.

With close to a 100 million fan base, I can't imagine the changes one could make to raise human consciousness. Especially in young people in this case. There will definitely be a lot of resistance though if anyone in his position tries to share more stage green/yellow values through their media platforms.

I've seen this video, have you and or anyone actually tried it?

Happy to hear that! Let us know how it was once you are back, maybe a review for the others

So Leo hasn't answered a question on this thread in more than a year? Why is everyone still asking questions? ?

@Rinne Hope you find the right one

I feel much sympathy towards him and much intrigued by your psychedelic experience as well. I have heard of psychic phenomena under psychedelics but I have to do much research to learn more about it. Thanks for sharing your experience

@noselfnofun Damn, that's intense. I am so curious how seeing the future even worked? Was it exactly what happened to him later on?

Shambhavi is a combination of a few kriyas. One of these kriyas includes an AUM chanting, which only lasts a couple of minutes. It doesn't necessarily have to be loud. The whole practice takes 21 minutes. Are you planning on attending the retreat?

That is completely fine. Just for the first 40-48 days you should just let you system adjust to Shambhavi and then you can add any other practices to your daily routine

Thanks for the reply

What do you have to say about different degrees of Enlightenment? How enlightened would you say you are compared to Ramana Maharshi himself or the Buddha?

If you have the option, I might consider LSD since it goes really well with music than shrooms in my experience. But eitherway sounds a like a good time ?

Nope, it doesn't I have not heard of that condition before, just learned about it. Seems quite rare

Yeah that's a fair enough reason but I very much wish that you can make it there next year

@Salvijus I'm in middle of my university degree right now but there is a good chance that I will still go. Postponing something so valuable doesn't sound right for some reason. What about you?

Glad to clarify any doubts Shambhavi would be a really good path to take if depression is part of your life. According to their statistics, Shambhavi has helped decrease anxiety and depression by 93% of the participants after regular practice. They know information that becauce you can fill in a survey comparing your daily life before and after the course. You can indeed practice Kriya Yoga by Lahiri and also practice Shambhavi simultaneously. But.. They recommend that you only practice Shambhavi for the first 40-48 days so that any cross pollination wouldn't occur as you said. But after that, you can continue with your Kriya practice. 40-48 days is a certain cycle that everyone's system goes under. Wish you all the best! Feel free to ask any other questions.

Yes! a small alarm clock, in my case, since you have to hand in your smartphones on Day 1

He explains it in this video

Cheers ?
