@Bastian so you’re saying to just be open to talking about anything?

@Sahil Pandit Thank you :-) I will practice this!

But @Leo Gura I am already very good at talking about my subject matter. And even though I would happily talk about said subject all day long. It does leave me a but limited in other topics. And what if I want to get really good at creatively answering questions which lead me into the direction of what I want to talk about in a more humorous and inventive way. E.g dropping being literal. I would like to be able to do that more. As that allows my voice to flow more spontaneously and authentically. I literally shock myself with what comes out. And I learn stuff about myself that was buried in by subconcous. I find myself expressing more and feeling more free. I want to get better and more confident with that? Does that make sense? Is that even a skill?

'The new age movement is a spiritual and socio-economic movement that seeks to create a spirituality that is not confined by dogmas or borders, a spirituality that is inclusive and pluralistic. It seeks to create unity within humanity by extracting the seeds of truth (taking the best) from all cultures, all philosophies, all religions as well as all non-religious based philosophies such as science, self-help and psychology. It seeks to combine those truths into the purest, most in-alignment way of life that the world has yet seen. It seeks to decrease suffering and create unity on a social and cultural level as well, in accordance with the spiritual truths of this universe.' Teal Swan

Hi @Healingheart :-) I recommend the book 'The Anatomy of Loneliness' by Teal Swan. And just so know, you may 'feel' like the only person in the world with this much loneliness, but that's what loneliness does. That's it's forte, It tricks you into thinking you are the only one and everyone else has connection. But, I can assure you, we all feel this. You aren't alone. It's the human condition.

I tend to have a reoccurring pattern of getting obsessed with people / things? As I've grown up (late twenties) I've learnt to channel my obsessions which has worked quite well as the energy has caused me to develop and master particular skills, talents and creative pursuits. However, any idea what brings it on? I mostly get obsessed with random people in my life. Not in a way that I want a relationship, but just because I can't get them out my head and want to achieve goals with them and fantasise a lot (I've always been a BIG dreamer) It sounds like infatuation, but it's not. I also get obsessed with hobbies, career goals. authors... it can be quite draining but exhilarating. Am I out of control? Thanks.. :-)

@Jack River Thank you x

@Hellspeed @DrewNows they make me feel alive and high... they push my boundaries. They feel like drugs. They feel naughty. They keep me up at night fantisising. (Not in a sexual way) what is your advice that I do ? You say it’s to do with my conditioning. Does this mean they are pointing me towards my true allignment or are they distractions of the ego ? I am female by the way. In case that makes a difference. (I’m quite feminine. Probably 70 percent feminine energy and 30 percent masculine)

@Hellspeed I am sorry, I have no idea what you mean. Would you mind explaining those terms? I understand if you're too busy, but what you have replied, makes no sense to me.

@Serotoninluv Agreed!

@Leo Gura Emotions from the higher self are soft and alluring, they tend to be 'desires' or 'messages' They don't have an urgency to them. Emotions from the ego tend to desperate, defensive, urgent and impulsive... Because emotions of the higher self are not so apparent. You will hear them best when you are meditating or tuning in to the present moment. They tend to come instantly. Before reaction has taken place. Hope that helps.

@Charlotte You'll have to differentiate between those who can take the questioning and open mindedness and those who can't. A bit like with humour. Some can take it, some can't. And there's a lot to play with in between. If you disagree, just redirect the conversation. That way you arn't offending them. Possibly? People are hard though. Totally get that.... sometimes people arn't going to like you and are going to get offended. And your own and their own feelings are both your responsibilities. Not one or the other. We are all connected, therefor we all have to take some responsibility. I would practice meeting people in the middle. Work out ways to communicate and connect on a level in between yours and your own. Relate to them first and then they will naturally become more open minded as their barriers come down. And the more your consciousness raises. Just by the process of being around you means that they will become conscious, by the law of attraction.

Since I’ve started doing this work. Particularly LP I get adrenaline really early in the morning so can’t get my full night sleep. I had it in the beginning of setting up new business majorly when I was developing lots of new ideas. But, I’ve chilled out a lot now and purposely slowed it all down as it was getting too much and causing stress in other areas of my life. It’s happening again though. I’m bursting with energy and the same time as being exhausted from not sleeping properly. You guys often talk about nootropics for energy. In my mind, that is what it feels like I’m on !! I feel really excited but with no reason for it. A bit like anxiety but more positive. And particularly the mornings from 5am, I feel like I’m on about to drop off a rollercoaster, so clearly not possible to fall asleep in that state, which is annoying as I know I’ll crash later. i do meditate everyday and Run 3 times a week... :-) anyone share this or am I alone? ?

How do I do that ?

@Charlotte no rush... thank you so much!) I don’t have social anxiety, but I am a little on the shy side.. ?

@Charlotte would you mind sending more details this insight to me ? Would love to know more ? X

@Leo Gura will you come to London ? ?

Everything she says is so true, she has so much clarity and perception, it's unreal. And to think she was saying this at age 24.

Teal Swan is trying to reach the masses at where they are at. There is no point telling them 'all is one' and 'we are an illusion' and 'everything is meaningless' They will get there, but not yet. First they need to become one with themselves, and they do that by connecting with the aspects of themselves they have suppressed and connecting with everyone else around them. This raises their awareness, this starts to wake them up. Our egos are as fragmented as infinity is right now. A perfect mirror of our outer reality. First we need to heal the ego, before we can transcend it. To get to where we need to get to, we first, need to work from within, connect all the parts of ourselves together first, then with other beings (outer fragments) and then we'll collectively be at a stage where we can let it all go.. There is no point in having random enlightened people who then die. And can't reach anyone else as no one can relate to them. We need to enlighten together, collectively. Our individual souls don't exist from an enlightenment person's perspective anyway. Your personal enlightenment journey is not enlightenment without the rest of us waking up with you. The rest of us, being 'God' God will enlighten, when every soul does. So this is the beginning of collective awakening. Starting with connection. Here's an anology. A clay jug smashes into pieces. You want to drink out of it. You can't pick each fragment up and try and drink out of it, it won't work, you'll waste so much time. The water won't stay in, it needs it's other parts. The clay jug is 'God' The smashed pieces are our 'physical reality' The water wanting to be filled in it is 'enlightenment' So the end goal is to put water in it. That's not going away. But first you need to put it back together again. And then once it's back you can fill it with water. Imagine if you spent the whole time just picking up bits and trying to make them fill with water.... !?!? You cant teach a baby to run before it first crawls and then walks. This is just my personal theory anyway.

I would definitely come to London and bring some people with me. And do the mini workshop too... :-)

Thank you all the advice everyone. Just writing it all out was a massive relief in itself and remembering that I am not alone. The support of everyone in this group, never fails to amaze me. I've taken everyone's points on board. And managed to meditate today, just a baby step. But one in the right direction at least. I will watch that Teal Swan video, as she always resonates with me, I love her approach and actually went to one her workshop's last week, here in the UK. I hope to train with her next year as a Completion Process Practitioner. I would say the root cause is so many different things, but working too hard is definitely one of them. I have a 4 year old daughter as well, so naturally there is always an internal battle between being mummy, trying to fulfill my LP, as well as personal and spiritual development practices. An inner war that goes on in most modern women, but particularly myself as I have insatiable appetite to learn and grow, but I have to limit and divide myself into all these different areas, and then I get exhausted and agitated that I am not able to give enough. My partner is taking me away glamping for 4 nights so I am hoping that is what I need. I will still work there, as that for me is my satisfaction. But at least I will be able to commit myself to those days without the daily struggle of everything else. I can start running and meditating again there as well. And of course, have lots of fun! We might even have some shrooms too, if we can get them in time. I think I will be okay, I am feeling MUCH better today and I have learnt not to overdo it for a while. Not until I am feeling balanced again. Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

After almost 2 years of solid graft, commitment, growth and focus, I feel like all of a sudden, I am losing my way. I am losing focus and day by day, it's getting worse. I need to hone in on my plan again but I just can't seem to make it concrete anymore. The more I try, the more slippery everything gets. In two years, I have grown so much, I am shocked that the ship is sinking already. I've created a brand new business in line with life purpose, However, it's not exactly what I want to do, but a stepping stone to get there. But I am losing passion and focus for it, not much, but a little, I've meditated every day for 18 months, but not for the last few weeks and can't get myself back into it. I know I need to try harder. I am struggling with anxiety, ego problems, tiredness, low mood I've been running for 6 miles, 3 times a week for over a year. Haven't done anything for 10 days. I know that is not that long, but feels massive to me. As running for me is another form of meditation / contemplation. I do it for my mind more than my body. Although I do appreciate that they are all one unit. I have even tried nootropics that made me worse. I just feel crap. Is this normal? Any tips on how to claw my way out of this hole? I have worked so hard this past 18 months, I am practically unrecognizable. The fears I have faced, I could never even imagined myself doing in the past. But now, they feel like nothing. Not sure what's up with me. Thanks in advance... :-)

what about teaching Laughter Yoga?
