okay, if we are gunna talk about flouride i gotta say this --> that "alternative" toms toothpaste does -not- work for me. i used it for a month and my teeth really painful like drinking ice water after eating candy for a month. i switched back to conventional toothpaste. are there any that don't suck? Also the question of the OP, i am very interested in this as well. How about we add no pesticides, preservatives, doesn't have a nuclear program, isn't a third world country with tons of foreign diseases, etc etc. i could go on for ages about different specifications for the perfect healthy place

no but i feel like it may exist due to personal experience

i don't feel manipulated personally. i could sit down and die right now if i wanted to

i just laugh my way through it seriously. it may make me a sociopath but i literally laugh and roll my eyes just about every time i look at the news just because in this world if i let myself get down from one thing it spirals out of control and i feel like shit all day so i just don't. lol

sometimes focusing at all will raise for me, even when i am completely focused on something external. to really lower sometimes i need to stop focusing

yep full moons i get head pressurey and trippy and am more likely to do something impulsive. i never drink, but a few full moons ago i drank a bit

got a good link to instruction for this? sounds cool edit: woah same post count as OP lol

i keep getting "driver error" "problem with the database" or something of the sort but it seems like others are still posting

treat it as eliminative, because that's what it is. Your mind has just got to go through it again to get rid of it talking about it helps. For me it is talking with a loved one about something terrible i did in my past and getting it off my chest

i think the best thing you can do for yourself is STOP WORRYING. stop labeling yourself as having blockages or having this or that syndrome and just forget about it entirely. This is some of the best advice you will get, and others have already told it to you. If you can become good at not caring about it, then you will be better at lowering faster and faster. In my experience there is nothing that just instantly lowers, it comes from relaxation and you have to work at that. i have had this EXACT same problem you are having, and i wouldn't listen to this simple advice because i was too gung ho about my omg secret awesome yoga practices that i wanted to solve everything forcefully, by mySELF. Let go of the self that wants to solve these problems, and the physical and emotional sensations that make up the problems and you are golden. i really hope you listen to this advice, because it is more important than any technique i have found regarding the subject of lowering and none of those techniques are really going to work unless you can get better at this one.

i put the tip of my tongue facing up touching the little bump behind and in between my two front teeth and do belly breathing/LDT focus while i let thoughts come and go without attaching to them. Also your chin is not tucked, but normal, facing straight ahead. Your gaze is 45 degree angle down at the floor in front of you as opposed to 90 degrees looking straight ahead. Go for a walk, preferably barefoot on some grass or something. Rocks works but its a less gentle energetic pull and more of a "i need this energy lowered NOW" type deal i also eat meat when i need to kill off some firey head energy and drop sugar entirely. Make your showers only lukewarm, then finish with as cold as the water will go and don't tense up and suck your stomach in but just relax and belly breathe. Let the icey cold water run down your back and feel it going down along your spine. if i think if anything else i'll let ya know

i just lay down with pillow under my knees to meditate. i meditate after energy practice so no problem falling asleep

you do kunlun and don't have libido? woah that's a shocker right there. i get a bit hard just with the leg bouncing myself lol

working now. now if i could just get the damn tablets wifi working again i'd be getting somewhere....

looking up towards the sky opens front channel and throat chakra i believe

aww this thread isn't as fun here as when it was in general

...

aww, baby dolphins sound cute. also still no luck after clearing cache and relogging in

yeah still not working for me. i'm on an adroid tablet using dolphin if it matters...

i saw a bumper sticker yesterday that said "what would buddha do?" and i wondered if buddha would have said "uhh, what would -you- do?"

that's pretty messed up >_> imo anyway

...

the chin towards chest neck posture closes off the front channel i believe. i think that's why it is used for pranayama with the goal being kundalini. For me the front channel is downward flow, so if you are trying to get nothing but forceful upward flow it makes sense. don't you have kundalini issues though? i would focus on gently opening. that's just me though, i'm not you it is really easy to experiment and learn all new sorts of ways of screwing yourself up, i would know because i have done it. tread lightly.
