Just like that and this thread might be locked. Take the time to look inward before accusing anyone of being wrong. Self inquire on who it is that is feeling hurt.

After such a profound experience I found it easier to breakthrough on smaller doses, or even just a toke of some MJ believe it or not. Now, meditate daily and sharpen your awareness slowly bit by bit.

Sit down, close your eyes, and silently witness what's going on without trying to grasp on or change anything. Shine your awareness on it. If you keep quiet long enough you will be shown the answers to most or all your problems.

Some tips when drinking smoothies! Chew your smoothies so that you secrete saliva for the process of digestion. Brush your teeth no later than a hour after drinking a smoothie!

@Marks199 Sounds like you're in a tough one. If I were you my #1 priority would be to get a job, save some money, and move out even if you have to share a room with someone. Meanwhile understand that you can't change your family, but you can change how you feel/think about them. This is all about you here. Don't point outside even if thats how it naturally feels. Got to really bolster up and take responsibility here. Be emotionally strong (this is where meditation can come in) and don't be so sucked into the storm you have in your home. You can use it as a tool or a lesson to be learned. Be strong and believe in yourself.

@Leo Gura Bananas are like the perfect foods! Beautifully packaged for togo! Nearly a 100 calories each. Easily digestable. One of the only fruits that continues to ripe off the vein. Has high levels of tryptophan which is converted to serotonin. The key is to eat them when they're ripe though so you get as much sugar as you can. The best way to tell is to hold the stack by the group stem and they should just peel by sheer gravity of the bananas. I would also recommend buying organic bananas. Most of the banana farmers in Peru are infertile because of the exposure of such harsh pesticides, plus they are treated quite poorly. There's this whole banana war thats been going on for decades which included a huge massacre caused by the banana industry done by Dole and Chiquita. http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/banana-land-blood-bullets-poison/ Best to get a 40lb box of whole trade bananas from WholeFoods ($35) or if you want to go cheap get them at a Los Angeles Produce Distribution ($12).

@Martin123 Haha oh yea on a good day I have about 12 bananas in one smoothie, or eat em straight. ? I do a high carb and low fat diet, with dark leafy greens of course. Also eat a whole variety of other fruits. Check it out: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1893831248/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491890396&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=80+10+10 @eskwire Just for one! I eat about 20 pieces of fruit/day. Less calories so I have to eat more. Feel amazing. Not 100% raw, still eat rice, potatoes, quinoa pasta. Rarely any meat. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1893831248/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491890396&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=80+10+10

My morning smoothie: - handful of arugula (makes it tastes amazing) - handful of spinach - 2 small leaves of kale - 2 sticks of celery - half an inch piece of ginger - teaspoon chia seeds, flax seeds - 6 pieces of frozen strawberries - 6 ripe bananas (spotted) - cup of coconut water or almond milk - teaspoon of raw cocao nibs

@Staples You might enjoy this book by Rupert Spira.

So sweet

Been getting some upsetting dreams the past few days. Whenever I wake up I'm in such a relief that it was only a "dream." Because of this I feel a sense of relief like as if I've let go of something deep in my subconscious that have been bugging me for months. Does this happen to anyone else?

@Harikrishnan I yawn everytime I meditate. I use it as an indicator of how relaxed I am. Usually a tear comes down with a yawn and it's quite lovely. It's a good thing. A sort of mental release into deep relaxation.

In my experience , anxiety comes from something that may contradict my self image, or something that is in the future that I may fear may come with negative consequences. Maybe cut down on your activities. Spend more time alone and get recharged before you go out, especially if you're an introvert (This is a must). Wake up an hour earlier before your usual wake up time and meditate for 20-40mins to recharge and find some clarity for the challenges toward the day.

@Martin123 Thank you, I feel lighter week by week and feel as though I'm shedding some old skin.

@zazed I used to smoke alot and when I quit the part of the withdrawals were night terrors, I mean full on demons, homicides, and shit. I've also read that this is common with others when they start to lean off weed. It lasts only about a week or so nothing to worry about.

@How to be wise Love the book! Well at that moment, you would completely feel the "negative" emotions and would automatically (if practiced) inquire on your thoughts about the emotions. Do you create a story out of the emotions? Do you get attached? Does it affect your ego? As soon as these feelings come up ask the 4 questions & turnarounds in your head, or if that doesn't work then go home and write it down on the "judge your neighbor" worksheet Byron Katie provides online. With practice you will automatically self inquire on negative emotions and once surrendered to the fact that nothing outside can hurt you except only yourself, then it will fither out and you will be at peace.

Easily put, your mind is addicted to stimulations and especially marijuana. Weed out all the addictive behaviors of constant cravings and aversion and be still. Slowly and gently cut the weed out and learn to calm the mind naturally. This won't happen overnight but have some faith.

It's been 2+ years and I still feel the resistance everyday unless I come home from a tough day at work. I just have to sit down and the rest is easy. For me, sitting down is 50% of it.

A typical alpha male is not an authentic "alpha" when he's trying to suppress his feminine side.

Ahh Beauty !

I've done mild research on this but would also like to hear personal experiences or opinions on this type of cleansing. How you feel during and after? Has it cleared anything?

@WildChild88 No I wasn't. The location looked astounding! hahah oh man doof looks like a good psy festival. Them crazy Israelis know how to dance! I would love to go to Switzerland someday, when I do I will contact you. What is it like living in Switzerland anyway? I live in Los Angeles, CA not much green here, mainly concrete.

What has helped me was to cut out alot of the small distractions throughout the day; social media, obsessive thinking, anxiety, etc. and to put my primary focus on the one thing at a time. Daily meditation helps with this tremendously. Keep your mind clean, purified, and simple like of a child.
