Feeling all the love I swear that it’s in the air Leaving me, floating forever into infinity I can see the colors dance when I close my eyes Witnessing mysterious design I can feel my body rush From the love inside of me Can’t you see the joy of life is right before your eyes? Infinite bliss, infinite love Take a chance, close your eyes and just dream It sets me free Why can’t you see the joy of life is right before your eyes? Infinite bliss, infinite love Take a chance, close your eyes and just dream We walk around blinded like children in the dark So cold and so empty, how did this even start It’s time to remember what it’s like to feel alive Feel alive! Set me free! Set me free! Can’t you see the joy of life is right before your eyes? Infinite bliss, infinite love Take a chance, close your eyes and just dream It sets me free Why can’t you see the joy of life is right before your eyes? Infinite bliss, infinite love Take a chance, close your eyes and just dream Feeling all the love I swear that it’s in the air Leaving me, floating forever into infinity Quantum fluctuations project into the air Leaving me floating forever into infinity Infinite potential!

@Annetta I have, when the fear passes you will feel so amazingly free and peaceful. @Annetta Good luck, I hope it works out!

@FirstglimpseOMG Hahah, you are loved too m8 @Martin123 Mhhhhhhhh..

I love you both.

Thanks m8

I have started trying to notice it too lately, before I was totaly unaware of my judgements. What I do is I just notice it and put my full awareness and attention on it. Then do that as long until I hit acceptance. I would condemn and hate my thoughts, emotions, judgements. But now I try to create space, accept them and love them for what they are. This has been a profound shift for me

@Jedd If you do care a lot what people think about you, watch the video that Leo did on it. I have been doing the exercise that he talks about consistently. Every day you say 'I am completely independed of the good or bad opinions of others." With your eys closed for 5 minutes. This works, I would say try it out

I try to work on growing myself everyday, I meditate 2 times a day and try to read everyday too. This is going great and I do not feel attracted to doing stuff like watching Tv series, masturbating, eating unhealthy, etc. But suddenly I have this deep urge to just do just do every single one of them. Is it authentic to give in and just give my self a break or should I discipline myself and abstain from all this. Thanks for helping out. I don't know why I even ask these things anymore haha, it seems like awareness is always the answer. When I feel weak though, when I feel 'unconscious' I just post these things because I have trouble bringing awareness to these issues. Thanks for reminding me! @Dingus

@Dingus I watched a couple videos of Rupert Spira, what he said fascinated me deeply. That consciousness is always here. This knowing is in everything we do. Afther that video I went to meditate, I got really deep and at some point I forgot who I was. This really scared me shitless and my heart started beating really fast this made me think I was giving myself a heart attack. How should I deal with this? It scared the absolute shit out of me

@electroBeam I have had this problem too. I worked very hard on working out my fears towards heart rate issues and my heart stopping. I thought I got over this but then suddenly it came back and I got frightened shitless. Couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, meditations were very scare because I got confronted with this 'self' that was fearful all the time. Now that I am working on this issue once again I have found that it helped me grow almost more than the first time I thought I got over this fear. What I have learned is that every problem or scary situation is an oppurtinity to grow. I can't always look at it this way but I try to. I would say try to look at it this way. Look at the judgements you make about yourself and observe what happens. Everything keeps changing. Remind yourself that this phase too, will pass

@Lawrence I will take a look at it. I'm currently reading Inner Engineering by Sadhguru though, really awesome book too @Lawrence You should! Sadhguru is one of my favorite teachers. He is great

I think I heard Arnold Schwarzenegger talk about this once too, what I want to talk about is mindful gym sessions. Saturday I tried this for the first time and not only did I feel very conscious and present at the end of my session, like I was in a meditative state, I also was able to lift heavier and have a longer gym session. When you observe the sensation of your muscles contracting and squeezing it does something amazing. I was able to spot my neurotic motivation during my lifts and notice any unease that arose. Not sure if this is a fact or not but I feel like if you put your awareness on the muscle that you are training it produces more results too, this is what I heard Arnold talk about once in his interviews. So I would say try this out! This could really boost your performance in a gym session and can be made into a practise of mindfulness too.

@Michael569 Exactly man! Thanks for your reply

@heisenburger I can't sit in Lotus too, burmese is what I do.

@Seeker_of_truth Alright I'm happy you found the cause of your sleepiness, a tip for if you still experience sleepiness at any point, is to look at how long the time was between your last meal and the meditation session. It is important (for me atleast) that one hour is imbetween my meal and meditationsession. If I don't do this, I experience heaviness of my stomach and I fall asleep very easily. Make sure that you don't get neurotic when you can't stay aware. Give yourself space and acceptance when you can't seem to focus during your practise Good luck with your sessions!

I had a similar experience, I started to slack off simply because I was neuroticly motivated to meditate. You have to find a way to enjoy your meditations again if this is the case for you. I switched from the do noting technique to mindfulness. During this practise I started to learn that every experience is perfectly fine. So maybe try and find something that you enjoy, focus more on the training then the outcome

I have been practising my concentration after I watched Leo's video 'Concentration vs Meditation'. Firstly I tried focussing on a metronome for 2 minutes 2 times a day. After 2 months of practising I did not find improvement at all. Now I started doing 3 times in a row 2 minutes and that 2 times a day (always do it before my meditations). Could it be that I simply cannot improve my concentration since I have ADD? I really would like to improve my concentration for how far it is possible for someone like me, but I don't know what I should differently here to eventually see results. @Shin I will try to stay disciplined and do this every day. Thanks for the response

@Afonso But can it improve though? Am I not stuck to this limit of never being able to concentrate amazingly? @Afonso I will try to put some 5 minutes or even 10 minutes in there. I'm not trying to look at the results of my practise so much because I learned that is not the right way. But on this practise it makes me kind of dissapointed because I feel like it will take me a lot of months to even notice the tiniest bit of growth.

I've had this too myself. When your conscious rises, neurotic motivation tends to fade away. If you keep at it and keep growing yourself you will soon find that authentic motivation will enter into your life. No more "I need to gain more muscle because otherwise I look ugly, I have to this and that to be better". Just keep practising and you will get your motivation back!

What are the things that will happen to you as the ego starts to crumble? What are the traps you can fall into? Also, how to identify attachments to meditative experiences, high consciousness , etc. And how to let go of them.

I have noticed that during my meditation I become very easily attached to high conscious experiences. When I don't have such an experience during meditation my judging mind goes "This meditation sucked", "You did not grow thus this was a waste lf time". How can one learn to be okay with not always feeling comfortable? I am already aware that this is experience judging is happening, No clue though of how to be acceptive of this.

@Shin That's such a wonderful way to look at it damn..

I've never tried being aware of how judgemental I am. That's an awesome suggestion, thank you. @Shin I keep wondering everytime, where does all your wisdom come from? So amazing.

Is 'A New Earth' a good read? Not sure if I want to pick that one up.

This book got me hooked on spirituality, I listened to it twice too, Eckhart's voice is pretty nice to listen to
