Really good video.

I see, not surprised I will say ? Initiated, yes. The element of grace is a main reason for it's effectiveness I think. I think I started noticing benefits even after the first day of doing it. Just the sense of wellbeing and improved mental balance was clear from the start. Also I think the more you grow in self inquiry and meditation the more effective yoga becomes also. I think maybe that's why it was so effective for me from the start. Basicly you are using the same awareness from your meditation but applying it to a different area now so you reap the benefits accordingly.

Traumas impurities and old emotions of the mind are in the body not it the head. Body needs to be made into pure energy and transparant. Than ego and bad thoughts will dissapear. So yoga is very effective way to purify the mind but I don't know what it was that you did in there ? yoga can change how you think and behave dramaticly if it's done properly. It works on the fundamental level of who you are. It should change even the fundamental ways of how one relates and perceives life, food, people, atmosphere. Each asana is like a statement. A healthy high conscious statement if one makes with the nessecary awareness in it everyday, it will change the entire belief system and psychological and energetic structure inside out. It can deeply transform one's personality. But it needs to be taught in a specific proper way. Only then the benefits become vivid. Isha is one of those schools that offer this possiblity. I don't if there is some other. Probably is. But I don't know where. Small personal example of mine. All my life I never were able to speak with people. I had huge blocks speaking with people was very shy etc. This is one of the resons I started meditation to overcome this. I did self inquiry for 2+ years and it still remained the same. Tho I gained lots of benefits of intelligence and awareness but the behavior patterns remained the same. Only when I started doing hatha yoga all my communication blocks went away. Today I don't ęven know how to shut up ? so it was a huge very fundamental change in me. So I'm sharing this example to testify that it works if it's a proper yoga. ?

Yes you can do it with gentle sounds also

That's not what I meant. I meant your ability to laugh at your situation and see it with detachment. That's a nice quality really.

@bloomer Lol I don't see often people call themselves like "losers" with such detachment and unseriousness and playfulness ? that's really next level humor here. Very coool ??with this level of intelligence and confidence you should be able to get any woman you want ?

Play a video of someone you like like echkart tolle or rupert spira that is 20min long. Listen and meditate as you listen. It will keep you engaged, time will go faster, and the benefits are the same. Or find some guided meditations 20min long.

If you follow this regimen you should not experience big energy drains. It's mantak chia's regimen here.

Sorry, yeah awareness of awareness purifies the mind sufficiently. Except that it's not the fastest direct way of doing it. That's what I meant. Purification means dissolving ego. That implies anger, lust, greed, compulsions, attachments, envy, everything that is toxic in the mind. I probably missed many more. Long. Even if you do therapy all your life, there will still be things to work out. It's really... usually you have to live it. To make it into your path of liberation. Some people invest their whole life into it. It's a spiritual path by itself. The level of your mind's purification can determine the level of your awareness because it is the ego that pulls awareness down. If ego is gone. No practice is needed, your awareness will float up to the sky. Like an air balloon. Heavier your ego is, the lower your air baloon is. If your ego is gone your awareness floats to the mahasamadhi. So how long does purification take is the same question how long does it take to achieve mahasamadhi ? Others you know, instead of eliminating ego, crank up the energy, that's the kriya path. It's like intensifying the fire in the air ballon so it goes higher. That's what psychedelics temporarely do to you. They blow your energies really high and you experience what it looks like when the air balloon is in the cosmos. It all works the same to all people imo. The machanics of purification are simple. There are many techniques in spirituality in that regard, you can find something that you resonate with. If you don't know anything echkart tolle's inner body meditation is good. Vipassana retreat could really purge you well also. There're many of these things. Probably every path has it's own way of dealing with purification. Do some confessions to the priest maybe ? it all works. Just chose what you resonate with. Or just do aware of awareness. It's good enough. Does the job eventually anyways.

@Raptorsin7 see, aware of awareness is not the most effective practice for purification. It's more to rise awareness and create distance between your psyche and awareness. It leads to the realization that I'm nothing at all and nothing ever happens to me. It's beautiful but it has no quality like bliss or love. It's a different kind of freedom, freedom of silence. Also it's a little bit like problem bypassing. When you do aware of awareness meditation. You jump over all your traumas and problems into that which has no problems. It doesn't purify the mind and traumas much, rather it separates you from the psyche and mind and traumas. The purification element is there also but not so deep like therapy for example. If you’re interested in purification there are other ways to go about it. Practices like vipassana or hatha yoga that focuses more on the body has a deeper impact on purification of the mind. But know this, purification takes a lot of time. There's garbage in your mind you have no clue about. Layers upon layers of garbage, even lifetimes of garbage. So ? but still purification has it's place. I do it also. How much you care about it depends on individual. If you really want to invest in that direction than just find an appropriate practice you can do that purifies your mind on a daily basis. It would be useful. But aware of awareness practice does purify the mind sufficiently enough imo. Hopefully something will resonate here. ?

Lol, that's good one ?

? sorry, I've read "It". MB.

What looks like a snake?

Yeah, I've heard many things like that also ? it takes a huge cultural leap to start liking snakes ? I think only one who accepts death can enjoy snakes. Somehow they go together. And acceptance of death is what spirituality is all about. If you accept death, you go beyond death or you become death itself. A living death is the fragrance of a realized yogi. It's a different world altogether.

Yep, I like death and snakes ? . That's what self-realization means. Plungging into death, the core of existence. But it's not easy to explain this to people ? better not to speak about it.

No rituals is needed. It's a primordial energy. You just have to sit in primordial meditation or in other words it deepens your aware of awareness meditation and makes you grow faster. I use it all the time. I even sleep with it. According to sadhguru yes. If you’re receptive enough it should be enough. There's an element of receptivity to it also. Grace of dhyanalinga has to penetrate your entire being. Visiting a temple live can give you that receptivity and connection necessary. But it can be done without visiting the temple also.

? it is not tied down. It's a garment of flowers and an honoring to snake. The king of stillness. Snake can be still like a yogi that's why snake is used as a symbolism of an attained yogi in samadhi. Plus it's a symbolism of kundalini. Dhyanalinga can invigorate one's energies to grow faster.

Stillness is the source of all things.

@mandyjw the god of nothingness ? It is zen primordial energy temple (dhyanalinga). I have a yantra and a picture to support and deepen my zen insight into the source of all things. It can be used to deepen ones meditation. I've even been in that temple so I have a strong etheric connection to it now. ? a video on dhyanalinga

I have an answer to every problem in the universe. Just watch your breath ? joking. but it's a little bit true ?

Don't know how to respond to that ?

Haha sorry ? I hope it really sinks in because it contradicts the fundamentals of what leo is teaching this is huge stuff im talking. Yes I agree to some extent. Nothingness and love are two sides of the same coin really. That's cool. ? I have a feeling a didn't comprehend fully the previous post of yours. Sometimes it takes a long time to sink in what you write for me ? ? P.S. just arrived my a course in miracles book. Lets see what Jesus have to say about it ?

Fundamental truth of who you are is nothing, not love. Nothingness is the source, love is the manifestaion. Both are you. But to say love is your absolute nature is not true. Nothingness is your absolute fundamental nature. Nothing beats nothingness. Yet all qualities like love and bliss and peace are one with nothingness. Nothingness is King. No logic can beat this. Mic drop. Michael jackson moon walking away...

So? What does that have to do with anything? ?

That's next level altogether ? maybe I can give you tips how I dealt with my stomach problems one day but not here ?
