You have yourself.

I'd say 3 is best

What does this mean? "quanitfiable"

If we remain in duality reality is perceived as humans can pray to Shiva or Christ or any other entitie. And is true, it works. Now from a nondual perspective, one discovers the fragments and they get together on a bigger picture. It is a personal decision to go this way or that way. Both are true. Only one is liberating in the long run. The other is liberating in the beginning, the duality.

For that, you can pray to Shiva, has a bigger entity than most God's of the world. He will listen to you, in fact he will guide you if you ask him. But know that is a conversation with yourself on another level of understanding.

I used earplugs to train my focus on my breath. Now that i achieved that, i can stay in a train station full of people, or construction site, hearing my breath above high noises. Is a matter of training. Yeah, earplugs are useful in the beginning. Atleast for me.

Life is happening, always.

Dwelve more into that feeling, that dream, without judging. See it for what it is and relax, without trying to control the outcome.

The question is, what not to do?

Well, it is a matter of what you really like, i play shooter online. I've been into video games since the early 90'. So, if you use them to own benefit it's quite nice. Training the hand eye focus and training the brain. If you use them as escape than that is another matter.

Because the attention is the "knife", use that wisely upon own body or is a difference from light to dark. Focus on the pelvis and this is duality. What the majority do. Focus on the heart and is a total new aproach to life.

Yeah, another tool. I'd say it's so powerful that for many, they block them in the mind. To really get the benefits, you have to know channeling.

Never focus on pelvis.

Learn to channel your energy and flow. Otherwise it will control you.

Is normal after months of meditation, all sorts of weird and foreign parts of the body will come into feeling again, and this never stops it only gets better if you let it.

Shambahvi mudra, one has to go with that pain and open the heart. Lose focus over your heart doing shambahvi mudra and you doing it wrong.

I pray to myself, in the sense that i believe in my self above everything.

Tap into the Akasha and release the burden. There is infinite knowledge without having to carry all that, it can be accessed by practicing singing.

Tre bona ideo.

No practice no gain.

Yeah, own experience is best. The chakra thing with the colors is just a map, a more enlightened view of duality. I'd check the classic Allan Watts if you come from a philosophical background and Mircea Eliade. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mircea_Eliade

Nothing to seek.

@James12345 Did you ever had a touch of Maha Kali?

Shiva dude, Satan!
