Noticing some dark / negative energy after kriya yoga . Time to take a break ?

Blog Posts too: Yoga FTW! By Leo Gura - June 29, 2017 If you’re serious about your personal development, I cannot recommend yoga enough. Learn it and start practicing ASAP. But I don’t mean the Western-style yoga you see at your gym. I mean real Indian style yoga: Kundalini yoga Kriya yoga Tantra yoga Raja yoga Pranayama Some Hatha yoga There are many good systems and teachers available online these days. Yoga practice is very important because it adds a physical and energetic dimension to your meditation and spiritual practice. This is vital because Western-style self-help (and even Neo-Advaita and Zen) is too intellectual. You tend to learn a lot of ideas, but gain little inner growth. And any lessons you happen to learn are not really translated to the level of your body or your vital energy. Yoga will help you in many ways: It will free up energetic blockages in your body which are hard to fix any other way It will release pent up emotions It will vastly improve the quality of your breathing It will improve your posture and flexibility It will heal all kinds of chronic diseases like: chronic fatigue, cold hands and feet, allergies, migraines, ADD, high blood pressure, back pain, joint pain, thyroid imbalances, immune system problems, heart disease, PMS, depression, anxiety, insomnia, mental fog, etc. It will build discipline and willpower, reduce laziness It will increase your physical vitality It will reduce your sleep quota It will reduce stress and muscle tension It can double as physical exercise without needing a fancy gym. It’s like having a portable gym. It will gradually cleanse your Chakras and move Kundalini energy up your spine for spiritual awakening It will improve your meditation, concentration, and self-inquiry It will greatly reduce monkey mind and paralysis by analysis Whichever yoga school you go with, make sure your yoga’s primary focus is spiritual development, NOT physical exercise. All physical postures should be a means of spiritual development, not a form of flexibility training. In proper yoga, postures are designed to iron out the energy blockages in your body FOR THE PURPOSE of deepening your ability to meditate. I’ll be talking about specific types of yoga more in the future, as I experiment with various systems. For now, start doing your own research. The payoff will be immense. Learning yoga is also a MUST if you’re going to be doing any serious meditation or solo retreats. Sitting for such long periods of time while neglecting your body is a wasted opportunity. Yoga will super-charge your retreats and get you more breakthroughs faster. If you’re pursuing enlightenment and you feel stuck with meditation/self-inquiry, incorporate yoga into your daily practice ASAP. You need to bring your entire body along for this ride, not just your head. Enlightenment is not just a head thing. And if your body is in bad shape, from decades of bad food, chemicals, stress, bad posture, muscle tension, and disease, enlightenment may be practically impossible for you until you clear this up. I will be adding a lot of yoga-related books to my book list in the future. Click

My first thought was gangster Leo

These are all good ones . this one too

You don't think psychedelic Awakening increases longevity? How about abiding awakening?

Maybe most people just don't have the discipline to learn to lucid dream, or they simply can't?

Yeah I like that, that's powerful shit .

Watched this one for the first time the other day, I'm now motivated to fall in love with my life. Video topics could be practical or more philosophical but I'm leaning more towards practical at the moment.

I mentioned the Quentin experiment and how he hadn't posted in years to my friend and like a week later he posted about being a father . I had never mentioned him online or in person to anyone prior.

Indeed. But it's the ultimate medicine.

Yeah I've been to one meditation retreat , also Soto Zen. That was pretty transformative as well, but I was less receptive back then. Kriya yoga has made me more receptive to subtle energies , it's still my preferred for solo practice because I find it incredibly hard to sit for long periods of time without a group there to force me to, in a sense, and for that reason before kriya i did not have a consistent solo routine. Also another good thing is, I finished up my 5 meo and didn't get more. I probably won't trip for at least 6 months , maybe on the winter solstice.

Obviously my spiritual and psychedelic interest is too broad to commit to Buddhism , but the nice thing is unlike other religions you're not expected to become a Buddhist just to go to the services .

So the other day I went to a Buddhist meeting. This was actually the third time I went to this meeting but the first two times nothing like this happened. Basically this was a very traditional Soto Zen service with chanting (about 10 minutes), a half hour meditation, a dharma talk and finally a breakout discussion group, followed by more chanting and closing dedication. All together it was about 2 hours. By about halfway through the talk I was giggling. By the end I felt like I was floating, very empowered. In a sense it was quite boring, the first two times I went I was miserable. But this time I just accepted the boredom and by the end I felt really good.

It's hard to think of something that isn't conformity. Even having a psychotic episode in the street is conformity.
