Pure observation dissolves the mind. You dont fight the mind, you let it sink in your light of consciousness. Have you tried self-enquiry? It's also intense approach of dissolving the mind into it's source by seeking the source of the thoughts. I didn't watch the Leo's vid but I'd suggest to watch those videos I've shared for you, it's gold information regarding what true meditation is. For me personally art, self-enquiry, meditation and yoga during course of years allowed me to gain some mastery over the mind (not God level mastery) in an extend that I can achieve still of the mind in any time I want by just sheer will power. -

That's not the goal, that's not how you do meditation! This approach only brings frustration as its in the nature of the mind to wander. Watch these: Both part is important to help you understand the whole process. -

Yeah, And modern human just don't care... chasing after hedonism as it's all that life offers, not giving a damn about understanding one's self and consciousness. At this century the work that people are doing regarding spreading yoga as a means to spread consciousness is nothing IMO. -

Yoga is a systematic approach towards transforming you in physical, mental and energetic manner so you can be ready to experience and sustain cosmic consciousness. I do have a plan to study Patanjali's work to deepn my understanding regarding the whole system. -

More about purification as I think preparatory process is extremely important for further advancement in Kriya Yoga. 🧘♂️What is Purification in Yogic Tradition? In the yogic sciences, purification (shuddhi) refers to the systematic removal of physical, energetic, mental, and karmic impurities that block the natural flow of prana (life-force energy), distort perception, and prevent access to deeper states of consciousness. Without proper purification, the energy remains blocked, the mind restless, and the body unfit to handle the intense vibrations of spiritual awakening. Yogic texts emphasize that without purifying the system, true meditation or higher states like samadhi remain unstable or inaccessible. Purification is done across five levels: 1. Physical purification (cleaning the body and organs), 2. Energetic purification (cleansing the nadis and chakras), 3. Mental purification (removing emotional and thought clutter), 4. Intellectual purification (removing egoic distortions), 5. Karmic purification (removing deep-seated imprints and tendencies). 🔥 The Classical Methods of Yogic Purification 1. Shatkarma (The Six Yogic Cleansing Techniques) These are ancient yogic techniques meant to purify the physical body and subtle channels: Neti cleanses the nasal passages and sinuses using saline water or a thread. Dhauti involves swallowing and removing a cloth strip to cleanse the stomach and esophagus. Nauli churns the abdominal muscles to tone the organs and purify the intestines. Basti is a yogic enema to cleanse the colon. Trataka involves fixed gazing at a flame or object to purify the eyes and improve concentration. Kapalabhati uses forceful breath to clear the lungs and nadis and activate energy. These practices are described in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika as essential prerequisites before deeper pranayama or meditation. 2. Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing) This practice specifically aims to purify the energy channels in the body. By balancing the left and right energy currents (Ida and Pingala), Nadi Shodhana allows the central channel (Sushumna) to gradually open. Once Sushumna is open, spiritual energy — especially Kundalini — can rise without obstruction. 3. Mantra Chanting and AUM Chanting sacred mantras like AUM or So’ham purifies the system through vibration. The sound travels through the nadis, dislodging energetic blockages. AUM specifically is powerful because it vibrates through all the major chakras — from the base to the third eye — and aligns the whole system with cosmic resonance. Mantras also purify the mind, quieting thoughts and harmonizing emotional patterns. 4. Pranayama (Breath Control) Breath is the bridge between body and mind. Through practices like Bhastrika, Kapalabhati, Ujjayi, and Anulom Vilom, yogis purify both the physical breath and the pranic flows. Pranayama builds inner fire (agni), burns impurities, and clears subtle channels. It also brings deep stillness to the mind, which is essential for higher awareness. 5. Asana (Postures) for Purification Yogic postures are not merely for flexibility. They are geometries of energy. Holding specific asanas directs prana into the chakras, granthis (knots), and energy centers. Certain postures stimulate glands, nervous system pathways, and open up physical blocks that hold emotional or karmic tensions 6. Yama and Niyama (Ethical and Mental Purification) Yogis also practice purification of the mind and behavior through the ethical foundations of yoga. These include non-violence, truthfulness, discipline, cleanliness, contentment, and surrender. Without these mental purifications, inner stillness cannot be sustained — because the impurities of ego, anger, greed, and fear will continue to disrupt the energy body. 7. Tapas (Austerities) and Fasting Yogis often undergo disciplined practices like fasting, silence, long meditation sittings, and isolation. These acts of voluntary discomfort burn deep impurities, dissolve karma, and increase inner fire (tapas). Tapas literally means “heat” — the heat that transforms the soul. Final Thoughts Purification isn’t a one-time task. It’s an ongoing unfolding — like peeling layers of an onion. As the outer impurities are burned away, subtler distortions are revealed and worked through. The deeper the purification, the more refined the body, mind, and breath become — and the more capable we are of absorbing silence, stillness, and divine energy. As the Hatha Yoga Pradipika states: > “When the nadis are purified, the breath flows freely through the Sushumna, and the mind becomes steady. Thus, the yogi becomes fit for meditation and samadhi.”, Without purification, yogic practices remain shallow or unstable. With purification, even simple breath and silence becomes sacred.

I don't think Mahasamdhi is anything specific for advanced yogis as they can materialize and dematerialize their bodies at will. -

Yes! I'm glad I've dropped the Kriya Yoga practices to do Hatha yoga for almost a year and half and still doing it cause it feels amazing! Now that I'm into the Kriya again, my experience of working with my energy is just amazing! Before it was full of pressure and painfull most of the time! And at that time I didn't care about prepation practices at all. Silly of me. -

A note about purification practices. So the more prana flows to your body freely the more consciousness you energetic system will support to sustain for you. But one cannot forcefully do it without being prepared, here comes the important role of purification practices like nadi shodhana, AUM chanting etc, that allows the nadis and energetic channels to get rid of knots and impurities to allow the expansion of ones spiritual energy. Often here people disregard these practices to be not so important. But as I'm progressing in my practices, I'm understanding more and more how these simple practices are very important to prepare the body to handle extreme levels of spiritual energy. Will do more research about it and will share the results here. -

Mostly proteins like chicken and eggs and some carbs like a bit of rice as I'm into bodybuilding too, I don't consume red meat. No. I did a lot of self-enquiry in the past, brought all the unconscious egoic patterns and subtle mental layers of the mind into consciousness, working to fully stabilize the pure presence of consciousness I-Am ness dissolving all appearing, disappearing ripples of unconsciousness. This is real super power. -

I did some interesting energy experiment today which I wanna share with you guys. As usuall in the morning I did kriya pranayama, nadi shodhana And AUM chanting (don't underestimate this, this is extremely useful practice for purification of the system) But in the afternoon I laid down in ny couch, I put myself into a meditative state (energy responds best when you are deep in the zone) And I did suck the prana from space around me in through my hands, the more I kept receiving the energy the more I could intensity the amount I could receive, visualization plays important rule. It reaches a point in which my Ajna chakra pulsates like crazy, the light of consciousness goes crazy swirling (this is the light you see as result of activities of ajna chakra). The energy kept flowing in the whole body and I felt amazing! Then I directed the flowing energy to each chakra imagining each gets energized and then I directed all the energy to ajna chakra, I felt so so good, like you feel so amazing and conscious and powerful, the mind is absolutely still and you feel you are in total conscious control of your energy which was amazing. Then I did some Cat-Cow asana and discharged the energy to the earth in child pose and felt super charged after. I did similiar energy work before but I didn't try to direct the energy at will to the chakras after receiving, this was hands one of the most intense and potent energy experience I've had. -

Yes Personally I dont have insane levels of sex drive. I'm 30 year old now, yes when I was 20, it was a different story. You transcend so many of such desires in your spiritual journey, it's inevitable part of it. -

"Milion dollar point" in what they call it, yes One of the most important thing in gaining control over your ejaculation is remaining calm during your sexual activity, you need to control your excitement during the whole process, using any breathing techniques can get you calm will help, I know it's hard to achieve and requires a lot of practice, but with consistency and will power, you'll get there. Basically contracting the pelvic floor muscles alone might not be enough, you need to combine it with putting pressure on the surface area between your anous and scrotum, just before reaching that peak point that you know you'll orgasm and ejaculate. Once you are there you quickly contract the pelvic floor muscles combined with putting pressure on milion dollar point with two of your fingers, If do gain control and awareness over the whole process you experience orgasm but wont ejaculate!

I don't care about Sadhguru, all I care about is what works on me and what doesn't. My spiritual progress. He is an advanced Yogi btw, I respect his knowledge and wisdom. -

Are you into kriya yoga or any spiritual system that deals with your prana? You feel the effects on your pranic body. - 
	
	
				TheSelf replied to Hojo's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
But the effects could be known to yourself and that's what that matters. See, you and I didn't invent these tools, some advanced yogis came up with these a long time ago, not as a form of worshiping but practical methods to enhances ones spiritual experiences. I personaly test it out and resonated with it, the way I feel uttering that specific sound is quite unique so thats what matters to me, my own personal experience. Blindly following what anyone says is wrong, I understand what you concern about, this is spirituality and not religion, its all about your personal experience. If you utter OM and you resonate with this more then that means this sound is working better on your energy and that's what matters. -

I don't pervent the orgasm, I experience it not once but two three times in one session, I only pervent ejaculation as these two are separate process. Ejaculation doesn't have to come after orgasm. I don't have the video but I'll share an instruction here for you soon, hopefully it helps. -

Or uttering it and feeling the effects of it! Fully! This is what it's supposed to do for you, effecting you in such a powerful way as an aid in your spiritual progress. Trying to find meaning is for the sake of entertainment of the mind, being very present with it while uttering it is what actually matters, personally love the experience. Trust me, it's also spelled that. And knowing the correct version is important in terms of it's energetic effects on you, otherwise I wouldn't care it's om, aun, am etc.
