    My ego was like: "I don't want to leave this place, why is it only 10 days??"

    @moon777light If you want advice, I can tell you to find a comfortable sitting position in which you can sit without a move for one hour straight. Maybe do some stretching before the retreat if no position is that comfortable to you. I had to sit on two zafus, otherwise, my knees hurt too much.

    These types of retreats usually have channels for communication should an emergency come up. There should definitely be a way for your parents to contact you via a phone number or email at the retreat should the need arise, and vice versa. Perhaps this will satisfy them so they can respect the full 10 days of silence/separation for you. If they have this number/contact info, and know you can get in touch with them if need be, it might make them more comfortable.

    But as Esoteric said, it's not prison. It's a concentration camp! xD

     

    :D

    @Preetom I think I'd rather go for being a monk.

    Though islams 72 virgins sounds damn appealing. Maybe  if it was 84 I'd do it. Oh and if they were experienced women. Virgins are not a thrill in bed B|

    And thanks for the info. I will check out more about this. I gotta be honest. The lore of Babaji and other sages is very intriguing to me and motivational. This is my new form of entertainment. I also saw Leo had a book on the list about a monk, will pick it up at some point whenever I go through my 5+ books Im planning to read. So much interesting stuff. I love it.

    Two good books about living in the Himalayas and meditating in caves are by Swami Rama - Living with the himalayan masters and Om swami - A truth to be told.

    It's funny that you think about how to go to the toilet when you think about such a drastical lifestyle ?

    Hunt for rabbit or go and fish. You can go to nearby shop and get food to survive

    Start a fire 

    You can pee outside and poop outside where people dont see you. You can use grass to take away the poop in you butt

    Haha the toilet question is funny, but hey I was just curious.

    And no I certainly am not ready to live in a cave but it's very fascinating that people are doing it.

    @Esoteric I am surprised you don't do yoni mudra. That for me is the most powerful kriya. 

     

    What's your routine?

    Sorry for late reply. I don't get notifications for some reason so I dont always keep track. But anyways.. I started doing yoni mudra but found it to break my flow. So instead of struggling with it just to do it I dropped it. I may pick it up in the future. I read in Ennio's book that he didn't do it either so I figured I shouldn't do it if it just screws up the flow of practice.

    My routine is: first I shoot up rapé tobacco up both nostrils, I sit with it for maybe 45 mins being concious of the spine and spiritual eye, then I take a brisk walk, when I get home I do arousal technique to stimulate root chakra. Then supreme fire, then 108 KP's with attention on spiritual eye, then "do nothing" technique mixed with "hear, see, feel" whenever something arises.

    The second one is where you learn the actual technique and theory, the first one is basically gossip, just talks about the bad stuff from keeping kriya secretive, organization/gurus, and he rates a bunch of books. 

    Has anyone doing kriya experienced exacerbation of the body in anyway? I've been feeling quite down and weak the past few days (same symptoms that i had 2 years ago), it came all of a sudden. Im wondering if changes from Kriya are forcefullly trying to change my habits, or if its just pure coincidence. 

     

    This is not true. Second half of the book has techniques.

    @luckieluuke My advice would be to move on to the Gamana books, so you only have to do a few good techniques and that's it. I thought it was overwhelming reading Stevens book aswell. 

    If mahamudra is annoying to do then switch to the arousal technique Ryan Kurczak talks about. As long as stimulate muladhara. I don't even do Yoni Mudra. I do arousal technique, supreme fire, KP and then do nothing technique. That's it. It's almost been a year since I started Kriya Yoga and it's probably the best thing I've started doing. So switch it up and try another 7 months, because when shit starts to click you'll be happy you didn't quit. And if you feel the same then drop Kriya Yoga. My 2 cents.

    Well that fucking sucked.

    This makes rapé tobacco taste like strawberries. Awful drip. I shouldn't have eaten that falafel. It came up in 3 segments. Next time I will definitely fast prior to taking it. Lots of physical discomfort, pretty strong visuals and no ego dissolution.

    It seems to contain way more 5-ho-dmt than DMT and 5-meo-dmt. The real benefits of yopo, for me on first glance, would be working with the physical resistance you encounter. It seemed to be more than both ayahausca and rapé.

     You do not have to sit in half lotus. You can do easy pose or if that bothers you sit in a chair, at least for most of the techniques.  Sometimes agitation and boredom can be a sort of ego backlash. Agitation can also occur as energetic blockages are opened. Tell yourself  that you are going to commit to  x minutes a day whether you want to or not. If you can not make yourself do the kriya, sit there for the allotted amount of time. This is helping you to learn self discipline. There will be times in any discipline when you don't want to do it. The ego can make up a myriad of excuses that seem legitimate. Just do it anyway. Try not to evaluate the outcome of the session. Just keep doing it on a regular basis and you will be able to see results.

    I agree, that's great advice.
