Hey guys, I have been doing shamanic breathing 3 days in a row now and realized that 20 mins is already very intense for me. I was thinking of doing it everyday till I ramp it up to a longer time and then take it slow after that but then Leo talks about only doing this once in a while and he gives a few options of how often to do it. It seems like it will take me ages to ramp it up to 90 mins. Should I stop doing it daily and stick to one of the options that Leo suggested? (once a week, once every 2 weeks and so on...)

@AlterEgo Thank you, it has been in my case as well but I remember a certain difference in the two but it was most probably due to the lack of sleep I was in going into my LSD trip @Rinne Yeah I just did some quick research and it seems like people are assuming that but do report similar experiences with both @ValiantSalvatore Yeah since LSD is illegal its harder to get your hands on them safely indeed. But thank you, I will look Into ETH-LAD and AL-LAD. For testing I usually use the Erhlich regant but when it has been hard to test it for 1P LSD becauce it doesn't seem to be effective. However I've had positive experiences similar to LSD each time I tried 1P-LSD, so I trust my research chemical company now.. Don't know if that's alright to do

Gotcha

@Leo Gura so Osho also was probably not aware of the whole biological weapon thing?

@mindcentral Thank you for your reply! I was curious because Leo in his Psychedelics episode not to play around with research chemicals too much and to stick to the original stuff. I will stick to 1P for now probably

I just stared at my hand and it is amazing how much intelligence is right there in my hand. 5 sticks appearing out of a square-shaped thing in order to grab stuff and how the nails are there perfectly to do things like scraping and whatnot haha. How can such intelligence be created? Thanks for this post!

Well maybe one way to look at it is that without getting the foundation right, striving for higher levels of being might be difficult. So in that way it does help I think by getting all your emotional problems out of the way

I am not an expert but troubles with anal stuff could be related to any trauma during ages of 18 - 36 months. This is known as the 'anal stage' in Sigmund Freud's Psychosexual stages. You can research more about it but if this is the case then you might want to visit a Psychoanalyst in your area. They should be able to help you regardless if this is the case. It's great that you came out with it on the forum

I am sorry to hear about this. Wish you all the strength to go through this phase and come out with a better understanding of everything. I am personally not in a position to answer this question but the next best thing I could do is to link you with advise from someone who might know what to do

@Garuda All I know as of now is only from the video I sent. I asked the channel how they got their sources. Will update if I get a good answer

@Preetom Wow, that is Bhakti Yoga taken into another level...

Apparently, Swami Vivekananda's guru turned himself into a female. He even menstruated. It has been recorded. I just came across this video

@Cocolove Thank you! For how long have you been practicing? And do you see results in the department of working with supressed emotions/trauma?

Just did my second 20 min session followed by 15 mins of lying down. It was one of the most powerful experiences I've had. I can't even remember most of it eventhough I just got done with it. My arms started moving by themselves and my whole body was vibrating with a certain energy. It was so intense but also quite uncomfortable. I really felt like I was facing death. Fear came up. But I faced it full on to the best of my abilities and see what more was there. Towards the end I felt quite peaceful. All of this basically start right after I stop the breathing and continue laying down for 15 mins. It hits me soo fast and so deep. Thank you Leo for sharing this with us I will be making this a regular practice now

@Shadowraix Yes, I do that but not with some of the Spiral Dynamics videos unfortunately I mainly want to share it with some people

Yup

@kieranperez Yup, never believes anything from anyone but also dont dismiss everything. Float in the river in betwee. Anyway I am just realizing how much I mentally masturbate sometimes haha Half of all the threads is just that

@Leo Gura Will you be releasing the video anytime soon on a different platform?

@kieranperez Just want to add something onto what you said. According to Sadhguru, Shiva both refers to 'that which is not' and also the first yogi from whom yoga apparently stems from. He was so deeply enlightened that they refer to both as just Shiva, as you can't separate the two.

@Psychonaut Yes, I think it looks more sorted out. Thank you. I also prefer Latex formatting. Cheers! @CepzeuLike Bill W said, I would gladly like to make a donation as well

Thank you very much for this! Well done ?

I was initially practicing Kriya Yoga(from Leo's booklist) for a few months daily. In my experience, it was more powerful than the vipassana meditation that I was practicing before. Then I tried Shambhavi and had an instant effect on my general well-being ("calmness" as you refer). I combined it along with a hatha yoga practice (Surya Kriya) and I can feel how it is instantly effective in many aspects which is honestly hard to put into words. Basically I would say it increased my baseline level of consciousness and I became more meditative through out the day. However please keep in mind these experiences can be subjective.

@Leo Gura Either way, juicy insights Leo, thanks! The deeper I go into this work, the more I realize how much I do not know

@Garuda Scratch that.... Future enlightened beings linage will go straight to a toad in a desert in Mexico
