@molosku Stick at it for 6 months. You wont regret it

Has leo changed his views on shamanic breathing? That is the only reason i can think of as to why he'd delete the mega-thread

@Leo Gura The thread is gone

Commit to doing at least one meditation retreat a year

How about practicing tonglen or loving kindess?

What do your routines look like and how long does it take? My current routine looks something like Mahamudra x 3 Kriya Pranayama 1 X 12 Kriya Pranayama 2 X 12 Yoni Mudra x 3 Supreme Fire x 3 As i progress should i still keep doing Kriya pranayama or just do more of pranayama 2? Also should i do any of the chakra techniques?

Is iboga any good for consciousness work ?

I mean do you count how long your breaths are ? otherwise how do you know if your inhale takes 10-20 seconds

A couple other questions. Id really appreciate if someone can answer. in Gamana's book he has a different technique for doing yoni mudra he says to apply the three locks. Which way do you do it? and should i be doing navi kriya or om japa ? I've replaced any of these chakra type work with more pranayamas

Are you counting in your head as you are doing the pranayamas ? I mentally count and focus on the prana flowing up my spine. I'm up to 15 seconds

I can't find any type of silent kriya yoga retreats. I am considering doing a silent vipassana retreat, but that will mean i wont be able to practice kriya for 10 days. Do you think it will have much of a negative effect? I actually think it will be positive.

I've been doing the shamanic breathing the way Leo teaches, bu today i tried something new Shamanic Breathing: - Lay down in the same way with your head in alignment with your chakras. - Breath as aggressively as possible for 10 to 15 minutes. - Every 10 – 15 minutes you will stop and hold your breath. This I usually do on the inhale, as opposed to the last one the down breath. - Then after you can’t hold your breath any longer let it out slowly and start again. I found doing the breath retention made the practice much stronger. Anyone else have experience doing it this way too?

Which orders of the Kriyas do you guys do ? I've been doing Mah Mudra - Kriya Pranayama - yoni mudra - kriya supreme fire. I was review one of Leos recommended kriya books and the author suggests experimenting with when you do kriya supreme fire. Now i am considering moving it from the end of my routine to the start

i'm really not sure what i make of this. I keep hearing about it though, people into spirituality are getting a boner over the lunar eclipse

After i start doing KP1 and KP2 x 24 should i start doing KP 3 ?

I have had a handful of psychedelic experiences mushrooms, lsd and ayahuasca. Most recently I've had a few what i thought at the time were life changing ayahuasca trips, but I have not changed much (i know its my responsibility). It almost feels like I learned too much and i dont even know where to start with to embody it all.

@Leo Gura Visusalization already embodying what i learned during the psychedelics?

@YogiLogan Why is it dangerous? I've tried researching this and i cant find any reasons

@Arkandeus how did you go about integration though?

in almost all the books i see it written as mahmudra x 3 and yoni mudra x 3. Can i do more of these? I enjoy both of these exercises and im cosnidering adding more

@YogiLogan Can i also do more yoni mudra?

@Viking whys that?

I've been doing kriya for roughly 4 months now heres my routine Mah mudra x 3 KP 1 X 12 Kp 2 X 12 yoni mudra x 3 kriya supreme fire x 3 concentration I've stopped doing om japa , short breath kriya , navi kriya. Basically any exercises besides pranayama type exercises i have stopped. Am i missing out on anything? Should i add them back in?

I am interested in reading some books on developing psi, specially channelling. Any suggestions?

@Viking You don't need to be doing nadi, ujjayi and om japa. Start doing Yoni Mudra, kriya supreme fire and more pranayama. You aren't even doing potent kriyas yet
