First of all do you have trust from your father or does he think you're some kid who doesn't know anything? If you want to influence people, first of all you need to earn their trust. They have to see you as inteligent being. Otherwise mostly people will not be willing to listen to someone that they think is less smart. Gaining that trust is the key but it takes a lot of work, time, energy, responsiblity, wisdom, everything. When you have that trust, even if you say something that makes no sense they will not leave. They will be willing to listen and be patient. But if they have no respect and trust for you, the moment you say something that they don't understand - you're finnished they will leave..

I'm not an expert on these things, tho something was mentioned in Shoonya program that Shakti chalana kriya does something to the sushumna. Here's something interesting about shambhavi I thought you may like it 14th episode, 104min - till the end.

Here're some rare, deep talks from sadhguru. I listened to all of them. Very mindblowing https://archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A"Sadhguru+Jaggi+Vasudev"

Here's what I mean. "I had an experience, it was so... It's nothing."

Forget that state. Everytime you meditate, do it like it's the first time for you. If you try to recreate what happened you'll most likely have big expectations as what should happen what shouldn't happen. That's not good. In meditation you don't descide what happens what doesn't happen. You only observe. And it would be even better if you're able to enquire who is aware of the things happening.

Good luck to you! ???

@zunnyman Ahahaahaaha Yes but it's not necessary that Isha would replace what you're doing right now I continued my self-enquiry for a long time after I was introduced to Isha However, it sucked me in quite strongly. The impact of Isha programs was such I dropped everything now. Funny because my intention was always do self-enquiry as a main thing and a little bit of simple yoga just for balance and wellbeing. Isha has a funny way to make you thirsty for spirituality for sure. Many people go there just for a healthy lifestyle and become hardcore spiritual seekers *If people come to me looking for water, I put salt in their mouth so that they cannot go without finding it #sadhguru :D:D:D

The mind says "but how that one can be seen? It's impossible" yet all that is happening inside unmoving awereness ?

I'm actually traveling to Isha centre in coimbatore right now to get initiated into Shoonya and then stay there for two more weeks just focus on my sadhana and explore many things and temples Right now sitting in the airport :D:D Never been so fired up The most beautiful thing about Isha Inner Engineering and shambhavi is how ALIVE that process is. I have so much gratittude for that practice. Life becomes so much more intense and adventurous, spirituality and spiritual progress just goes on on fire so fast Life On Full Throttle #? And what is special about the shambhavi itself is that it's a living organism you can say. She has an intelligence of her own. It's like a softwere designed to fuction according to what you need most ? That's the main difference between Isha meditation and everything else. That in Isha you receive a seed or a softwere from sadhguru that you just have to nurture and maintain an atmosphere and then fantastic things will blossom, as in other forms of meditation you're on your own, you have to struggle and grind hardcore It's completly different game altogether

@Charlotte You Should be in doubt because there are risks and this a terrain you don't know. Don't try to increase your confidence and then jump into stupid actions. You have doubts and that's good. Only idiots are dead sure about everything #sadhguru

35min25sec A nice insight into initiations and guru's technology

Namaskaram, Yoga has to be transmitted not taught ? 13.30 women asks a question 16.10 sadhguru gives a beautiful explanation why Yoga needs to be transmitted not taught ?

Don’t fight your cravings for sweets. If you yourself turn sweet, sweets will lose their attraction #sadhguru

I'm 21 haven't masturbated since June. Without even trying. It just dropped by itself when started doing sadhguru shambhavi everyday from February. When I began this kriya first it was like once a week then maybe once a 21days. Now i don't know. I don't see it coming anymore

The kind of Yoga people do today, most people would be much better without it. #sadhguru

Of course good luck to you What is this 3months stay about? Casual vacation or some kind of meditation retreat?

Try yoga

When 21 to stop parental nurturing. (Sadhguru's words) That implies no longer living out of them. Becoming indipendant.

Niceeee. Can't believe time goes so fast… it seems like you never left the forum Anyways. "I actually feel like on the spiritual path now, as when before I felt like an amateur." This is good stuff. That's what I like about vipassana is that it's somehow a living process. Without attending vippassana course and doing body awereness would be so dead and boaring but now it's like alive That's why it's so important to receive a spiritual techneque in person not from a book I think you understand that now. I get a strong Bhuddha and vippassana vibe from this famous Bhuddha chant

@Gligorije Try yoga maybe. Here's something I found in a book about sleep and yoga.

I think this applies a little bit to you
