Hi there, I have been for past year or year and a half into self-actualization and meditation. I have decided that before my next semester at the unversity start, I want to do some sort of a meditation retreat, where I take a tent, build it somewhere in nature, where there are no people and distraction and just meditate there for 2 or 3 days. Do you guys have any experience on how to go about this? What sort of a meditation is good for this or just any advice in general? Thank you in regards

Hi there, I would love to get advice from someone more experienced then me, which yoga to choose. I have been meditating twice a day for ~ 20 minutes for quite some time now and I wanted to include a yoga into my practice. I would love to improve my concentration and discipline with yoga (currently kinda struggling in university ), which one do you guys think would help me with those things? Thank you in advance Valach

Hello, I am not sure how to describe my problem but I will at least try to do so. I will be grateful if anyone could tell me his opinion about this. About a year ago I got into a pickup (specially RSD) and started to practice it. Throught that I found out about personal develptment a spirtiual work, which I started to practice. Since then I recognized improvements in almost every area of my life (I am more healthy, happier, joyfull, calmer, school is suddenly easy and so on). What concerns me though, is that I cant really tell that I have improved with women or in socializing in general, although, I have tried quite hard. The weirdest thing for me is this self sabbotage that is going on with women. If I get a date, I usually cancel it, because I kinda of a dont want to go there. Or if I sleep with a girl that I find really attractive both on the inside and on the outside I just like step back. I just feel that like I am pushing against some 'higher power' of myself a I just cant break it :D. I would like to hear if anyone has some similar experiences and could share his opinion with me. Thank you Btw. I am not a native English speaker, so I hope I have explained myself sorrowfully :).

Oh, I can see. I have had similiar problem, that I cant really engage with people and I prefer to stay distant from them. So I guess I have to wait for those moments when I again start feeling like not doing what I want and start feeling powerless and then sit with the feeling and explore it? Right? I might have some ideas why my childhood could be a cause of this, but I am not quite sure about this yet :).
