    @thierry be careful of sexual suppression, allowing your sexual needs to unfold fully is best, you can see a lot of those monks and swamis that have attempted to transcend sex becoming molesters at old age or something.

    Is it possible to completely transcend it? Sure, but what's the purpose?

    Sex and masturbation are completely healthy as long as you aren't overdoing it

    Focus on your spiritual practice and enlightenment work while engaging in sex and masturbation in healthy moderate amounts, and with time, the closer you get to god, the lessser your desire for sex will be.

    @Salvijus

    I haven't stuck to it for long, I practiced last year for a while, switched to normal meditation, and I'm back on it right now but I'm unable to stick to it well because those 2 months will be extremely busy for me, like the busiest in my life so far lol (last year of highschool in an extremely competitive school with extra classes and a whole mess along with other personal matters), so I just practice whenever I can and I am working on achieving kechari.

    @Girzo 

    Can you tell me about Mukherjee's pranayama? Have you experimented with spinal breathing? 

    Apparently with Mukherjee's, it will naturally transform into ocean breathing with time, and since apparently all chakras are contained in ajna, it will achieve the same thing as the spinal breathing version, especially when you get good at it, you will feel each om vibrating at the corresponding chakra, while you only focus on the third eye, it tries to achieve the same thing naturally.

    I'm confused about which type of pranayama to do and I keep changing my mind and not sticking to one, so I'm curious about if you experimented with spinal breathing

    Hey dude, how are you lol
    I have been there too.

    I think the advice about actually building an emotional connection in person is valid, though building an emotional connection without setting a flirty sort of frame from the beginning would very likely put you in the friendzone, she needs to feel that masculine essence you got.

    Best case scenario, you get her, have a good relationship, realize it won't make you happy, continue to focus on other stuff,
    or you fuck it up because you were too emotionally invested and got too attached (been there), which will be a strong lesson.

    Either way, the stronger the hurt from rejection or heartbreak, the stronger you will become as a man, so it's a win-win either way.

    The "how" for actually flirting with her or building a connection isn't something anyone can answer, it must come from feeling and intuition and shutting off your rational mind, acting from your deepest essence, and if anyone gives you a "how" for doing that, it will be fake and cheesy so it will be counterproductive.

    Nice to meet you, I'm the same

    It's all pretty confusing and overwhelming, I have been into personal development, philosophy and spirituality ever since I was 12, I know that's what I like, but I'm trying to find a mix of practicality and what I like, doing something practical and this stuff on the side until it makes me money.

    Though lately I have been fascinated by science a lot (I'm aware of the epistemological limitations) and I am thinking I could get into medical school and become a psychiatrist especially since medical school is free here.

    The point is, it matters more how you imagine your life 10 years down the road, focus on that vision and work your way down.

    Like I have a natural instinct to say things like: oh go read 300 books and master kriya yoga and lift weights and get healthy and work on your life purpose 

    But what I am working towards is different from what you want to work towards

     

    I understand how difficult and overwhelming it is with so many options and feeling lost, it's either following the normal path of miserable practicality, or taking the risk of becoming creative and passionate, I am personally trying to balance it out.

    Title.

    Basically for me, if I wake up late, not study/work enough, have a bad kriya yoga session, maybe not eat as healthy, or even just feel like I'm not doing something enough, I start beating myself up, I constantly feel like a failure unless I am doing everything perfectly.

    In a sense it helps me get things done, but I'm aware it is neurotic and unhealthy.

    Another thing I beat myself up a lot for, to the degree of almost hating myself, is fucking up my first relationship by being too clingy and attached.

    Anyways, has anyone been through this? How do you guys deal with it?

    I used to meditate everyday for 2 years or so?

    My practice was about 30 minutes long, mainly noting/vipassana style, and sometimes do nothing

    For the first 6 months, it was great progress and a lot of desires for the daily mundane stuff was gone

    I do admit my time was too short for anything else, but I also had trouble increasing the time since I always experienced dullness/ sleepiness

    Though I did a few strong determination sits of an hour

    I switched to Kriya yoga lately, I am still a beginner so I can't say much, but it's definitely better

    I do the kriya routine (gamana's book) then at the end just staying in a self awareness/ self abidance state

    So in meditation, you try to meditate without being ready, in kriya, you use breathing techniques and other things to still the mind and raise kundalini energy, then you can meditate from that state, which will be 10x more effective

    Build up to a kriya yoga routine slowly, start with mahamudra and kriya pranayama (spinal breathing), start with very low number, focus on quality and very long breaths, build up to a routine like the one in santatagamana book, or you could use the book by j.c stevens, or ennio nimis.
    What I do is, Kriya yoga to calm the mind and raise kundalini, then at least 10 minutes in the end of self inquiry
    Once your mind is calm by using kriya yoga, your self inquiry will get 10x more efficient, and at some point you get really proficient at the kriya techniques, you will lessen the quantity and still achieve the same state, so now you can do more self inquiry.

     

    after you have basically got the max you can out of kriya yoga (full kundalini awakening), you can continue with normal meditation, things like "do nothing" and vipassana retreats, and you can start getting more into psychedelics if you wish
    thats my plan anyways

    Basically:

    1. Kriya yoga + self inquiry, until full kundalini awakening is achieved, and I am sure I will get to experience a lot of non dual states by the self inquiry
    2. the point of kundalini awakening, is to resolve all your karmas, egoic conditionings, etc. so when that is achieved, now you can finally meditate, and the highest meditation once your mind is calm, is non dual meditation, this includes the do nothing technique, and also self inquiry
    3. you could map out awakening as a dance between expansion (do nothing, letting go, etc.) and contraction (concentration, vipassana, etc.), so a daily practice of do nothing meditation, for like an hour everyday + 2-4 solo vipassana retreats per year + psychedelics in a balanced amount = bruh  

     

    for kriya yoga, read on the spinal breathing, start practicing that, start with 12 times per session, but really focus on quality, each inhale and exhale should be at least 20 seconds long, and of course there is the visualization aspect and the ujjayi breathing, try to build up to 108 pranayamas, slowly.
    And do mahamudra, simple thing too, you could also add in yoni mudra.
    in the beginning since your pranayamas will be little, your sessions will be fairly short, try to sit motionless after your session for at least 10 minutes, this is where you practice self inquiry.

    at some point you would get to:

    1. 3x mahamudra
    2. 108x pranayama (once you get here, you could switch to santatagamana version of pranayama, it takes less time imo)
    3. 1x yoni mudra
    4. at least 10 minutes of self inquiry
    5. (bonus) kechari mudra

    then you could add in kriya supreme fire, and increase its amount, and as you do that, reduce the pranayamas to 72 or even 36 breaths, and switch to the more potent variations in gamana's second book

     

    Ok I know this was a lot, just read the kriya yoga books, i would recommend the 3 gamana's books, along with ennio nimis and j.c stevens 

     

    P.S I haven't achieved everything here, I am just saying my plan that I am currently going through

    The reason for your attachments is because you think you need something, whether emotionally, physically, mentally, socially, or in any other way.

    You can't convince or tell yourself that you don't need something, because that's the mental level, you need to go deeper.

    You have to go without it, for extended periods of time, but whatever you go into, will become another attachment, so what's the solution? get attached to yourself, but not your ego, your *true self*, retreat into it.

    Solitude. Meditation. Pravastha. Just being

    What do you guys think? try to take an opposite standpoint and let's hopefully have a healthy discussion
    Or maybe, you would like to expand on this or share what worked for you :D
