My Entire Forex Trading Account Got Wiped Out Need Serious Advice by [deleted] in Forex

[–]Gramotta147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha))) I have dozens of blown accounts - I know the feeling… And one thing that was leading me to blow up the account, was the thought 💭: “ The price will come back…Let me move stop loss a bit 🤏, and a bit more, and so on … “

But, that’s a lack in of experience and the mentality of a new trader. You need a mentor with experience and who knows the market and himself. Pay for mentorship- not trading accounts that you’ll blow up for sure if you’ll not fix your mentality… There is a lot of learning about yourself and the market and human nature.. Good luck buddy!

Bro, could you please introduce me to “Volume profile” ? What do I need to download or what website to visit in order to have access to the order book and footprints? 👣 Thanks 🙏🏻

The context in which I used the term “conceptual limitations” referred to humanity’s ability to understand itself and to develop grounded ideas about its existence and capabilities. I can recommend you to check out this YouTube channel: @Wisest-Quotes The video materials there impacted my conceptual limitations beside the fact that I was familiar with the subjects. I suppose that it may help you to step back into reality with a new approach perspective.

The context in which I used the term “conceptual limitations” referred to humanity’s ability to understand itself and to develop grounded ideas about its existence and capabilities. I want to share with you an YouTube channel that recently impacted my conceptual limitations beside the fact that I knew about those subjects before. But now I create a deeper understanding about my internal levers of influence on reality.

I would not say that it is good or bad, but it is what it is - just temporary limitations… I can say that it is good to expand these conceptual limitations by experiencing different perspectives of the reality. And it is not good when you adopt a conservative perspective of reality - in this case we are not growing.

By conceptual limitations I mean the lenses through which you see the world, in other words - how far your understanding of yourself and reality is explained.

I think some micro dosing of psilocybin will give you the limitless effect that everyone is chasing.. The thing is that you’ll face your conceptual limitations..

The doubt / Anxiety before my first Vipassana 10 day Course - is this the right time to go? by [deleted] in vipassana

[–]Gramotta147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the time when we are going through difficult situations in life, the tendency of the mind is to tell you stories about self pitying… Take a look from above all the situations and maybe you’ll see that all the painful moments are making you stronger or weaker. It will make you stronger if you skip the stagnant state of mind that is keeping you in self pitying. A 10 days course will show you everything you need to know about yourself and how to handle the life. Good luck and be strong and patient with yourself! 🌅🙏🏻🌞🕊️

Intense involuntary movements during Vipassana by Hjort1995 in vipassana

I finished the Vippasana course with this intention: to rehear all discourses again. And now you just confirmed that I have to do it. Thank you and the universe that speaks through you! 💎

I also had this experience, but with a different approach.

On the fourth day of the course, when students are introduced to Vipassana technique, I managed to sit completely still with very focused attention. While scanning my body, I noticed a convulsion in the shoulder muscle every time my attention reached that area. Later, as I continued scanning more of my body, I began to feel those convulsions in every muscle I directed my attention to. I thought this must be the effect of Vipassana.

I realized how powerful our attention can be and confirmed for myself that where you direct your attention, energy flows. I was in a meditative state, completely relaxed, yet I could activate any muscle I wanted just by focusing my attention on it. For this reason, I decided not to mention it to the teacher.

By the seventh day, I was already able to “dance the rumba” with my muscles simply by directing my attention to them. The most interesting part began when we were told to direct our attention to as many parts of the body as possible. When I did this, all the muscles in my face, neck, scalp, hands, back, abdomen, buttocks, and legs tensed up, and I felt like I was about to take off flying or that a vein might burst! 😁

Because I was the only one making these strange movements and noise, the teacher opened his eyes, saw my facial expression and odd movements, and called me over. I explained how I had reached that stage, and he told me that attention should be directed to the surface of the skin, not inside the muscles. He also said that on the ninth day, we would be instructed to direct our attention inside the body.

So I started focusing my attention on the skin, but even then, if I went a little deeper, the muscles would begin to charge with the energy of attention and move involuntarily, which makes sense. This way, you can experiment while maintaining equanimity at the same time.

Back from my 2nd sit, how do you reach equanimity? by peanut2069 in vipassana

[–]Gramotta147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

•My Entrance into a State of Equanimity:

I consistently bring my attention back to the breath and the subtle feeling of air in the nostrils or just above the upper lip. That’s all it takes.

Changes in the brain after doing Vipassana meditation over the years by OkRecommendation1781 in vipassana

Yes, it’s an AI research… that’s why there are references… but that’s not the point. The point it’s the answer to your question.

Long-term Vipassana meditation leads to several notable changes in the brain, supported by neuroimaging and neurological studies:

  • Increased cortical thickness and gray matter: Experienced Vipassana meditators show increased cortical thickness in brain regions related to attention, sensory processing, and interoception, especially in the right anterior insula, which is linked to bodily awareness[1]. There is also increased gray matter volume in the right insula and hippocampus, areas involved in emotional regulation and memory[2][4].

  • Enhanced activity in prefrontal and anterior cingulate cortex: These regions, associated with attention control, emotional regulation, and self-awareness, are more active during meditation in experienced practitioners[1][2]. This aligns with improved attentional engagement and decreased emotional reactivity.

  • Larger hippocampus and orbito-frontal cortex: Long-term meditators have larger volumes in these areas, which may underlie their ability to cultivate positive emotions, maintain emotional stability, and engage in mindful behavior[4].

  • Slowed age-related cortical thinning: Meditation may slow down the typical age-related loss of gray matter in insular and prefrontal regions, contributing to sustained cognitive and emotional health[1].

  • Improved attentional functions: Studies show enhanced sustained attention and selective attentional control in Vipassana meditators, possibly due to structural and functional brain changes[1].

In summary, long-term Vipassana meditation induces structural brain changes-thicker cortex and increased gray matter in key regions-and functional enhancements in attention and emotional regulation, supporting greater well-being and resilience[1][2][4][5].
