  1. Im on day 15 of my mandala ... if I havent stopped it a couple of times I would have been on day 54... This week I did my kriya before I drank coffee and on 4 days I took a coldish shower before I started it. I can deffinately feel a difference. If I drink coffee or eat ... my kriya is not good at all I did only one time the aum practice but man ... I sorta dislike it. I dont know if I am doing it right, I dont know if it works just so meh This whole week Ive had the worst pms and got into so many fights with husband and family. On my Kali/Lakshmi chart I am definately Kali this week The very sharp smell phenomenon is pretty much over
  2. Hello, I rarely log in into this account but I stalk Leos opinions in the forum periodically and read on topics I enjoy. I think it would be fun to read in a few months what I was up to in my self actualization journey. 2017 Few things Id like to mention - I did Leo`s Life purpose course in 2017 (?) I think and I loved it. It was hard (going through all of the videos in the beginning...) but it was worth it. In retrospect I focused 100% on work in the course and as of 2022 I must say that I accomplished all that I set out to do. My boyfriend thought I was crazy with all the affirmations for 90 days ... and I thought I would not make it, however I did ! (first and last time i stuck through such a resolution) and without giving away too much personal info I won a residency where there is an opening for one person every 1-2-3 years. Sometimes five years pass without a new resident. Crazy competitive to get into the program and I was competing with one of the professors sons. I was the youngest and I won the spot. My parents told me it could not be accomplished, I was told to go away and not even apply by four of the people working there and now one of them offered me a job. I was offered to teach and to work for one of the people who told me in 2017 that it would be simply impossible to get into the program. I dont believe I could have persevered through all the "No"s without the mental preparation I did with the course, so thank you, Leo. I knew 100% what I wanted and I did not allow myself to get distracted. I love my job, I am good at it and in 4 years Im going to be a millionaire, which is also nice. So if anyone is wondering if he or she should try the program- if you do the work you will get great results. I got a lot of insight about myself and a lot of answers about some problems I faced. But he is not going to spill out everything for you. You need to do the work. 2018 -Went to an OSHO retreat and after 3 days there of meditating I went home and tried mushrooms for the first time - was in an afterglow state for one month atleast (best memories ever) had crazy amount of luck, which was also strange. In that time I quadrupled my monthly earnings, so I guess I worked through some limiting beliefs about money? 2019- went to silva course, it was great, although I enjoy a bit less materialistic spirituality Went to Integral theory retreat (based on Ken Wilber)- very good started dream job ~ and it consumed my life with capitalistic success haha stopped meditating and going to yoga 2022 Started therapy, not because I have big issues, I guess it was because I am addicted to fixing stuff up and when I heard super good reviews about a therapist I just went to try it. Tbh I didnt believe in it before, but I have benefited a lot by my work with this lady. Started isha kriya, did it for 50- something days and had some great and unexpected results. I did zazen meditation a lot before, however if I had a busy day and just did it for 15 minutes it was nothing, I either needed to do it 45 mins + or not at all, so I didnt do it. I was very suprised to find I had results with a 15 min meditation. Since I have started it I have this unexpected effect- I have started to smell so much stuff. I can smell things from very far away. Not sure how I feel about that. So this week I started Inner engineering by Sadhguru and so far I really like it. Very much worth the money. In one of the meditations I saw a nice purple light infront of my eyes which was interesting. My goals are to be more joyful, more secure in myself and not to worry about the future. I will update when I finish the inner engineering course
  3. Hi, A few days passed since the course and I returned to work after my sick leave and I stopped doing isha kriya fro 5 days... I deffinately dont feel the serenity I did when I was at home meditating ;( I wish I had more time to spend alone and in silence, but unfortunately my job has a lot of communication involved in it, which is very tiring. My sence of smell is still super strong, I can smell things other people in the room cant (not imaginary- stuff from the other side of the room) I did my kriya every day since the pause however perhaps I have gotten somehow used to the benefits. I definitely am happier than I was 2 months ago when I started it tho I did chanting one time this week I did yoga once, unfortunately I was too tired to go to a yoga class... I did one longer guided meditation Went to therapy and I am pretty satisfied with the progress we are making regarding it Started reading: Life with the Himalayan teachers The habits of the highly effective teachers Two lifes by Arcadia Karma by Sadhguru My goals for the next month is to: Find more time for rest and relaxation Continue my practice Finish reading the books I started Shop more and spend more money on pleasurable things
  4. Ive been worried lately that the good mood and decreased worring Ive been seeing since the course might be because I was sick and perhaps the corona made me stupider so ~~ happier. Hope that its not the case= I feel its easier for me to forget bad stuff that would have worried me a lot. For now I plan to do Isha Kriya 2 x times a day for 48 days Yoga at least 1 per week and to return to normal yoga class Atleast 1 time per week to chant Aum with the instructions provided by isha I have random feels during the day - like a tingling sensation, or like feeling a feeling deeper BUT for a shorter period I got angry at my mom, argued and 30 mins later I was just happily going about my day like nothing happened. This is not typical for me. Yesterday after isha kriya I was so detached ? I dont know how to explain it. Just chill,feeling good, not thinking about stuff too much. This is so not typical for me that I worry a bit if I have some brain damage from being sick or if I will get depersonalized. Anyway, gonna continue with my practece. I have very strong intuition that if I stop now Ill become the nervous wreck I was before Btw Ive been having intuitions a bit more strongly - I had a dream I met a woman infront of my house and we talked and that happened the same day I was arguing with my mom about a revision of our stuff from the government and they call me 2 h later that they came and I was not there
  5. I finished the program and they gave me a link with 20% off I will leave it here for a week or so link if anyone is interested I am so happy I did the program, I have seen changes in myself since I started it. I thought I wanted to be rich, or successful, or calm, or a great meditator and to get validation from my loved ones. Turned out all I wanted is joy. That is the missing part Thank you, Sadhguru I hope to be able to finish Inner completion soon... but Ill try to be patient. And Ill start with the practices and kriyas they offered, I am so happy we live in such international times, It would have been impossible to access such knowledge 40 years ago easily Im gonna add a funny dog picture, because its joyful Have a lovely day
  6. I think it would be very much possible for a woman to want just to have a casual relationship with a man, and not a committed one. Sometimes I have found men attractive that I would not date seriously, ever. And in my case it was that they were something a prior ( teen maybe?) version of myself would have found attractive- and tbh both were significaly less intelligent than me. But very hot. People as adults change, and take different directions and the differences between them grow. I think that there is a difference between showing the best side of yourself and pretending to be someone who is not. If a woman sees you for who you are, has sex with you but doesnt want to be in a relationship, perhaps it is for the best. You are probably truly incompatible, but you might be with someone else.
  7. Finished day five of Inner engineering and feeling very blissful and calm. Every day it is hard to start (why do I have to do this when there is so much house work...) but when I finish I feel so good. I notice a more little things like how nice the sunlight is etc The meditation was very powerful for me, I feel very relaxed but alert and a slight tingle through my body. At one point I felt my head nodding slightly- which was strange to me, because I felt very much alert- why was my body nodding off? This never happens to me. After not moving for so long and closing my eyes perhaps it has decided to check out. I have so many likes and dislikes, a part of me is afraid that if I let them go my life would be ruined, I would not be successful, I would be just a spineless person. But I know that the truth is that if I am liberated from the chains of my likes and dislikes I would live more fully than ever. This knowledge is very far from my nature and intellect and I surely could not have grasped it if I hadnt tried mushrooms. That you can NOT be feeling very intensely that you want something and still get it. A part of me feels that being detached = not wanting really/ not deserving/ using the law of attraction in a negative way.
  8. @Spence94 Thank you! I finished day 3 of Inner engineering and found it ti be the most difficult so far because of the topic of Responsibility. I have struggled with responsibility my whole life because I felt responsible for my family and friends. So it was a difficult topic for me, I guess I understand intelectually the difference between total entanglement in a situation/outcome and being involved and trying to help but its something I need to work on.
  9. I had a friend who was in a similar situation, it went away in a year or so however he is still traumatized. Tbh you dont need to discover the wheel by yourself - some people have experience with kundalini and will help you. Your task is to find those people. One advise from the right person will save you lots of trial and error. A lot of the random advice is bs. Advising someone to look at Crowley when he is into old school yoga...
  10. Hello ? Leo recommended the sedona method and I got the course and I have gone through 12 of the 18 cds.. but it is still unclear to me a perhaps obvious thing for most. Are the only releasing audios the ones 4-10 mins long from the course? Or do I need to purchase additional releasing cds? If that is so- then that is rather disappointing as Hale Dwoskin in my opinion is rather too chaotic in the audio (laughing noise etc) and for me the poor quality of the production ruins the experience a bit. Ao to summarize the question: People who use the sedona method frequently- Do you ask the questions yourself? Or do you make your own audio? Are the additional online releases worth buying? Can you recommend a way to get better results with the program? Thanks!
  11. There is even one old program from the 90s uploaded on YouTube. Thank you for your replies.
  12. Ia this the book https://www.amazon.com/Sedona-Method-Happiness-Emotional-Well-Being/dp/0971933413 or the workbook? Thank you for the reply
