is this the one? will be the first time going through it. I will surely make a new thread . that stuffs interesting. In the meantime though, was it physical? It's claimed that it is actually in another dimension.

I see what you're saying and do agree that being more knowledgeable in certain aspect can serve one good in having maybe a more concrete understanding of ones intuition. Though my experience has shown me, that one can be wrong with all the knowledge and intellect in the world. I think it's definitely gray though. I feel like a lot can depend on how honest one is with themselves and how much they've listened to the voice within. Sometimes going down this path can be too much of a risk for someone to handle. And so starting with some understanding with the mind may hold more effective. Though ultimately, one could argue the fact that it even took starting with this is why they may never get to full realization, because at the core, it took a crutch. Arguable though. Nonetheless, i do believe it's good to gain info for the purpose of applicable benefit.

This is good advice. I appreciate all this. Sometimes it is difficult to remember that things can indeed be enjoyable and easy if one allows it to be. In a way i do want to do astral in order to be able to find some answers that would assist me in this physical reality. I remember you spoke about i may already be on their radar, and they want me to find them. In a way i would be doing this for that reason. I do think there is great importance in enjoying the process though. I don't believe guides and what not would be happy to continue infiltrating your life if it's affecting your state negatively. You know, something interesting that i've been thinking about lately is about enjoyment and purpose. I think about the greats, those who probably went through a lot but their lives ended up serving great purpose. I wonder, if part of what enjoying or accepting the process is feeling not the best, being lost, confused, sad, etc. I'm not saying to purposely go through that, but i sometimes feel one can be aware of these things and go through it. And one may find enjoyment in going through one goes through, because you know you must. Because to not serve a purpose, can sometimes take out enjoyment out of things for me. Idk, i just like doing things with purpose, and if it has none i just don't find enjoyment in it. But that might just be personal.

This is a great question. I feel both powerful and weak. Powerful, because i have gained a state of trusting in who/what i am. Weak, because i have a part of my whole life stuck on me, and the only way to get out of it is if i go back to it. Makes me feel weak that i don't have the will or strength to go back to it, though my intuition tells me whatever is guiding says to do it first. i'm quite simply not listening. Most recently, they or it seems to have disappeared because i may have seen to much lately and i might lose it if i don't chill out and get back to normal life. but i also got kinda mad at why i'm being shown all these things, yet i have a nagging thing in my life that i suppose i need to take care of. It's tough trusting the universe sometimes, but i'm learning how it works, and it works by interesting laws and conditions.

A reflection at all the events lead me to believe it is indeed positive. However, i do also believe that non good ones have also been leading me at some points, but just like with anyone else i would say. I have been getting better at communicating i would say. though sometimes i think that i am making it up in my head. But my intuition tells me that that voice or other thing i can speak to and gain strength from is indeed there.

Tien Shan Mountains or Mt Kailesh seem to be the 2 suspects lol. what do you think you did to destroy it? Did you learn your lesson?

Impressive. It worked. Just to clarify, hands open but not straight? Speed of circular motion? And then, what can i do with it?

I understand. To be honest, i naturally gravitate towards that. I find that creating ones life around ones physical body is a simple shift in priority. Though it looks like i'm overly obsessing, my body and mind naturally gravitate towards it. I enjoy wearing comfortable looser clothes, i enjoy walking and knowing things work correctly, ever since i started meditating more and fasting, my body naturally wants healthier foods, i really enjoy going to the park and meditating daily. The exercise was already a part of my life. That being said, i know the message clearly. I will do my best to be understanding of myself and enjoy the process. won't be overly harsh. I am the epitome of that in my previous life. But also, my life has been all over the place, from the beginning of joining the forum. one of the most sound advice was to get some simple routines going. I believe this is what i am beginning to do and hope to start building upon to gain momentum again. Btw, I got Damo Mitchell's Foundations of Qigong. Great call on that one. I feel like he answers in detial a lot of the quesitons i'm sure a lot of beginner practitioners have. I have improved tremendously in some physical aspects already in just 1 session. Will be studying this and getting my body prepped up for optimal qigong practice.

Resonates completely. Invaluable advice. Thank you

Agreed @escott. I've had my rough share of weightlifitng injuries and experiences. I am in love with fitness all together, so no way i'd ever give up these things in my life. However, i've slightly changed my perspective of what progress is, and i've over the last couple of years have learned to tone down ego, and look at the subtleties of every movement. As in find the imperfections, make things harder in the subtleties. Went from doing 225+ bench for reps with explosion, to feeling every part of the movement, understanding the breathing, recruiting as the correct muscles, understanding body mechanics, etc. Which in turn i believe can build better quality muscle, reduce injury, and actually look stronger. And i believe heavy lifting can be used every so often, to test ones ability to focus and recruit muscles when stressed. So i will be experimenting of course. I really enjoy feeling healthy, mobile, flexible, "strong" in a different way. So i won't be sacrificing those comforts for looks, but i also won't be looking like Buddha as i have been looking recently lol. We'll see though. as mentioned by some. i don't want to neutralize certain practices to gain certain muscle look.

I appreciate both of these. I am actually in complete agreement with what you're saying, as that is the philosophy i live by. That being said, i realized i've been too undisciplined in the things that i do, and all this is fairly new to me. Therefore i want to create some routines and practices by which i can measure my progress. Im making the sacrifice of maybe not being as freely enjoying of certain practices in order to have poveable results. If i bleieve i have a knack for this stuff, then that means i should progress fairly quickly. But i won't sacrifice my need for feel, finding innovations, etc. That's just a part of who i am. That is why i don't mind being disicplined with a small routine or practice. My natural state always brings me back to what feels right. Though i'm not gonna lie, based on the things i am able to do and learn if i really wanted to, doing all this is definitely slow feeling for me. But i need a base to start off with. I can always tweak as i go along. The last couple of paragraphs are very true though. i've ran across those feelings a few times since i've been learning all this info. It's okay though, that's why i probably had postponed disciplined training for a few weeks. It just felt too boxed in. But like i said, either way i am going to begin with something and tweak. Since i'm a hermit currently, For my heart, i like going to the park, observing animals and insects, walking, soccer, spending quality time with certain people.

PPJ coming soon. So i won't taint it. i will ask my questions here. Here's my daily plan: Grounding/meditation - 30 min walk/day (few times/week with barefoot shoes) - 1 hr meditation/day Energy work: - 1 hr flying pheonix/day 30 min Therapy work - (will be doing damo mitchell's course just to get basics right then stop) - yogic stretching or scott sonnen intuflow - floor slider for strengthening and stability 1 hr Physical strengthening: - running/simming/soccer/mace workout, bodyweight exercises, routined and interchangebale Diet - i've been enjoying vegetables more recently since i've been meditating and not wanting to eat as much. - pills: probiotics, magnesium, vitamin d, calcium Clothing - loose clothes (i realized my boxers, pants sweaters, were constraining and affecting posture. Especially the boxers! - I realized shoes are important. I hate HATE vans and my running shoes now. I am going to try converse. Please feel free to critique, add on, or take out from this. Questions: - for underwear. Tidy whities or boxers? i have bought both in a bigger size now. They obviosuly provide differnt type of support, any insights on this, since it involves our important core and testicles? - any specific type of shoes recommended for optimal body posture? - When running, i try to breathe in a certain manner that may be restraining, but i feel like i'm actually training my inner parts to be able to breathe more efficiently and calmly. Opinions on correct breathing when exercising?

Lol. Hey man, i might just be a nobody in Shambhala, which is still a somebody! And if it's in my heart, well i will invite you nonetheless once i find it But no seriously, let's find it. Seems like a nice place to live.

beautiful. this does sound like the things the others have said. Will be testing this . So if i can feel energy or energy circulating, would that be the sensation to feel for and know it's working?

My perspective is something is better than nothing in this specific case if i take precaution. Doing it myself is a personal choice, though i don't worry as i believe i will meet a master at some point. I actually decided to care about rewatching star wars after something had brought me to these energy arts. i wasn't even a star wars type of dude. I was more Lord of the Rings. idk why i'm even supposed to learn these things, all i know is i'm following the signs, and the purpose for this will be revealed after i do take this path. But also come on, you can't say the Jedi seem to take more patient, moderate approach towards energy arts. i'm just trying to follow these ideals. If i really wanted power i would probably just go off and do it on my own and be able to quite possibly do it without killing myself. But i value my life quite a lot. hence taken some precaution. Though i know it's ironic because of not having a maser. Personal choice, like i said. it's just something i have to go through.

I would like to know as well . that is the point of this thread.

I agree with this. Luckily for some reason my dreams or imaginations come to fruition quite effortlessly sometimes i will say though, i work really hard at what i want. so maybe it comes effortlessly as a result of putting in the work

This makes a lot of sense, i will look for these sensations when i test exercises. lol

I am on a quest to find Atlantis or Shambhala. I think that's where i'm from.

Yes, you are right, which is why i can't say too much, but something else is guiding me. I believe i do have a pure heart, and have a guardian. I have done bad things in my life and so have others. That doesn't mean they don't have pure hearts. Quick question about guides or guardians. How do we know it's not just a bad spirit trying to manipulate us, showing us things that benefit us, but then ultimately we're being used for their own evil plots? My intuition says otherwise. but based on knowledge and experience what would be indicators of good vs. no bueno.

That's why i ask here . People say 'google' it. Not to be lazy or anything but i believe in using experienced resources and people who've gone through the bs, in order to identify these things. the internet looks like a landfill of any information.

I love going to the park and experiencing the trees, animals, wind, sun shade, looking at the sky. Nothing beats nature. idk if i can feel the energy from the trees. But last week, my leg was bothering me. So i decided i will both release any energy out my foot, and then absorb energy from the grass/ground. My leg felt like it was going super saiyan or something. But i leave it as is and don't make much of it.

like in this video: I was just saying i can create energy in between my hands and if i go back and forth the force gets strong and i can feel a thing between them. like this: i dont do this often. i just know i can.

Can you please further explain this concept just so i can make sure i understand. If you were to recommend stretch type of program such as yoga, regular stretching, etc. Would you say this is 'the one' to get?

I am going to trust and follow this to the t. will edit if needed based on discussions.
