Awakening is a funny word. The unsaid assumption is that you're asleep. Asleep to what though?

In brief?  Simultaneity.

 and how it helped you

Realizing simultaneity reveals both the underlying correspondences and the over arching principles which contribute past, present, and possible-future events.

In other words, it cultivates a sharp intellect, like a whip.

And, in long? What's simultaneity? I mean, I know what the word is, but what does it mean to you in this context?

The fire kasina - its a mix between Vipassana and concentration. 

I wonder what would happen if you combined this with kriya yoga. I know from Ingram FK is super powerful, and I've verified myself the power of kriya.

I was doing holotropic breathwork before my main kriya practice for a short time and that was ridiculously powerful . Too powerful , actually.

1) Mindfulness with labeling

2) Neti Neti (usually after #1)

3) Balancing between sleep and waking

4) Holotropic Breathwork

5) Plain ol Jane meditation 

6) I do some Kriya too

Just curious, why do you do this? What are the results you're getting from it, or at least what are the expectations of results you think you should be getting?

I've done it couple times but gained not much from it.

Best practice I know of is when you surrender the self-identity and STOP being "you" for just a moment. Then what you normally associate as being "your" consciousness suddenly becomes liberated from the body-mind complex and comes into complete coherence with universal consciousness or "universal mind".

It is supposed to trigger release of small amounts of DMT. I can't test whether it does or not. If it does the DMT would definitely be helpful. I know because I use DMT as well. Once while doing it I was able to slip into nondual awareness very briefly. Basically with all of these techniques, what you're aiming for is that moment you realize you are going to die. One other time I did outdoors at the park and knocked myself unconscious, not sure if that's helpful or not though. 

Someone mentioned contemplation, I should've written that too. It is underrated. To me damn near all the techniques have to be done.

I literally just experience life slowly like Osho. Talk slowly..walk slowly..eat slowly..shower slowly..move through space-time slowly..enjoying my own body ..enjoying the three dimensions I'm moving through ..looking at things..yeah that's literally a spiritual practice . Live your life slowly and meditaviely.thats all.

Do you practice this, or is this what you ideally see yourself doing, right now?
