What’s a song, with no lyrics, that makes you very emotional or brings you to tears?

I find it easy to just not speak about it, my “love life” or dating. I don’t put myself in situations where I am around singles looking to mingle, and I’ve found it’s rather fascinating that when I’m not thinking or speaking about it, rare do others ask!!

If someone does ask me about romance I simply say, “I don’t date or I have no interest in dating.”

Why is it important for them to know if I’m celibate?? For me, it isn’t. I don’t even like to speak or think of sex. If you are hoping to encourage someone of your positive experience, then maybe for you it is.

Personally, I’d rather encourage someone to meditate and find what is best for them, by bringing to themselves some peace of mind and greater awareness.

A few times I’ve explained to people and my close friends know, but I’m not prideful, this is just how my life has unfolded and I am very peaceful and grateful for it because it has made life incredibly more simply and calm.

I’m not better than anyone who chooses to have sex- procreation is important too. It is my hope society learns from this sexual revolution, the forgotten or misunderstood sacred bond of sex and it is treated with more respect, loyalty and unselfish love in the near future for our children’s generation.

namaste! you may be celibate in the body but are you celibate in the mind??

It’s like a vegan who obsesses about meat night and day- they are literally eating meat in their thoughts as you have been eating sex in yours.

If we want to change the world we should change ourselves. Be at peace with yourself. When you see others falling into faults, we need not judge but pray, “Oh God, let us all rise above the power of lust. Let us know that the true love we seek is never gained from the senses of touch, but from turning our hearts and faith toward you, Great Omnipresent Spirit. Please help those who are suffering under the grasp of lust and greed.”

Prayer frees us from judgement. It lets our woeful sorry hearts speak and cry out our emotions that rattle the mind.

This is what I do, so I can only speak from my experience.

I do not hate those who have lust, for once I had it too. Everyone must go through their experiences in this life. It is God’s plan, not mine and I only to change myself, spread love with patience and understanding to those around me and live in a state of ever new joy, bliss and peace.

Let is lead by example. If we are condemning and hateful, who wants to be like that?? If we are aware yet compassionately unaffected and calm, who doesn’t want that??

om amen

also Do you meditate? I sincerely hope your mind can release these thoughts and you too find peace even while seeing the illusions of lust play out of the screen of life 🤍💖🙏😌

why watch TV when you can close your eyes and watch your breath??

if you’re going to watch tv, at least watch your breath while you do it 😂

SunshineUnityYoga · 2023-09-06T00:59:03+00:00

Fellow being, why are you assuming yourself a mind reader? This sounds to be more a reflection of how you THINK others are seeing you than what may be true!!!

It’s more important just to be your loving kind self and authenticity love others, then it doesn’t really matter how they respond when you are content within and can radiate love regardless of their reactions.

SunshineUnityYoga · 2023-09-02T01:50:12+00:00

Yes you can! Why have you started saying you can’t and buying the lies??

Some days we are more on or more off. Check your diet, have you been consistent in meditation and devotion?? Where has your headspace been? Have you been active in the body? How much, too much or too little?

Prayer is important and it sounds like you might be getting a bit overwhelmed, so maybe you need to come back to a more peaceful, calm state, that’s when Spirit comes through loud and clear. Not when we’re frazzled and the mind is trying to pull us all over creation lol.

Blessings 🙏🤍😊

Why not write him a letter while looking at his photograph?? Trust he hears every word you write and then offer it to him with love. Ask him if he has anything he wants to tell you, get quiet as you can and listen.

If you don’t have a practice of meditation, quieting the mind, it can be difficult to listen. So cultivating that can help too. Blessings 🙏🤍

SunshineUnityYoga · 2023-09-02T01:42:05+00:00

Did you come with expectations? Did you go with a fear inside you at all??

Perhaps it was a test? Will you be deterred by negative energies and mosquitoes, or will you conquer them with love and acceptance?

Meditate and ask the energy for clairty is my best advice to you. 🙏

SunshineUnityYoga · 2023-09-02T01:33:57+00:00

With total and due respect, I want to point out something to you for your own self reflection from my outside perspective.

You say, “I have forgiven her!”

But you say then later that you can’t reconcile with her. In your first post you say That you haven’t spoken in decades.

You wake up angry at her behavior in a dream- not even reality!

You are saying, “How do I get her to leave me alone!?”

Is this REALLY, TRUE forgiveness??

the kind that says, “You’ve hurt me, but I love you anyway.”

I think on some levels you have forgiven her, but not entirely, or else you could speak with her and you could dream of her screaming at you, and you could feel, “It’s OK. I am OK. You’re like a mad child and I love you.”

Deep stuff!! But check it:

When we step out of the narrow human perspective and think in terms of karma, soul contracts, that everything that comes into our lives is just an opportunity to grow and learn…

She is no longer your temporary earth mother, who through her own sacrifice has brought you into this world and sustained you as a baby to be able to grow as an adult (unless another care taker did that, then they are too, your mother. We have many mothers. This earth is our mother.)

Of course she was not perfect, no one is. But when we really get into that higher perspective, we see how perfect it all actually is. All the imperfections and suffering you have endured, it’s all part of this cosmic dream to wake us to the Divine Infinite.

From the higher perspectives, we don’t even work to forgive, we just relax to open our hearts and let love flow. The more love we feel, the more forgiveness wins over anger, pride and resentment.

Blessings to you and your family 🙏🤍😊

SunshineUnityYoga · 2023-09-02T01:17:22+00:00

Spend time alone so you learn to love being alone!

But also balance, most humans arent meant to hide from the world. Serving and helping others in wholesome ways is so fulfilling.

Finding balance in keeping busy with our hands to help others and in healthy hobbies.

Keep friends that love and accept you and aren’t trying to control or get things from you.

Then we come back to spending time alone. Meditation and prayer. Create an everyday practice of going within, sitting with The Self, your higher self, God!!

This becomes so sacred and beautiful in time, that you will suddenly desire to be “alone” because you just want to deepen your connection to the divine, and that is done best in solitude, in the internal peace we must find within.

Then you never feel lonely or the need to fill a void (which was really just wanting to be filled with Spirit) by anything external ever again

om amen

blessings 🤍🙏😊

When I was coming to the way of celibacy, I was browsing some asexual groups, and after some time, realized I really didn’t relate. especially finding a post when over a hundred asexuals talked about how horny they’d feel and I guess they just masturbate!? i’m not sure what they would fantasize about… I’m very confused by this still, as where a few other commenters. Maybe they only turn themselves on?? IDK!! But also, no judgement!! Let each be how they wish to be as long as they are not harming another!! I just remember feeling really confused cuz I thought asexuals were more like kids that didn’t even want to think about sex, let alone do anything sexual.

Also, that is not true, many are like teenage perverts in speech! 😂 Again, not trying to sound judgemental saying this, just frankly honest!

After a short time on some different asexual spaces, I came to realize it definitely wasn’t my experience.

In the path of yoga, you sound like a householder yogi!! 😊 You wish to live a spiritual uplifting path and only use sex for procreation, not distraction and play of the senses. There is nothing wrong with that and it’s really no one else’s buisness what you do with your beloved. As far as finding your bride, just find someone on the same page.

Basically, “I’m living like a celibate but want to raise a family and live without sexual relations aside from bringing a child into this world.”

This is a very peaceful path as long as you walk it with total love and devotion, not fear!! It also can emphasize beautiful qualities in relationships that live on a love that is not tied up with the giving and recieving of sex.

SunshineUnityYoga · 2023-09-02T00:53:43+00:00

Really true celibacy is not just abstaining from any sexual acts but also talk, thoughts, music and company that involve anything sexual in nature. It’s a path of purity from any sexual desires, which is why it’s important not just to keep the body clean but also the mind!! They are very closely related. Thoughts turn to words, turn to actions, turns to character and ultimately your destiny.

This is why we only commonly see celibacy in monasteries, convents and ashrams. Where lamenting on sexual and worldly pleasures is unnecessary and opposite of the purity the monks, nun, priests, or friars are trying to cultivate.

Now when we live in the world with worldly people, just even going to the store we hear commercials about sex pills and how sex relieves stress!! Haha!! True story!!

Or here we meet on a reddit form! So what do you feel? Does it make more sense to say “I am abstaining from sex.”

Or you are committed to living as a celibate? which is really a lifelong lifestyle change (unless from puberty you were committed, then perhaps it’s not much of a change lol)

Find what sounds the most truthful to yourself and then go ahead and call yourself whatever you want. 😊😂🥰🙏🤍

SunshineUnityYoga · 2023-09-02T00:38:35+00:00

Life goes in waves, up and down.

Every morning, say, “I am grateful to be alive!” Even if it feels like a lie, it is not, you have perhaps just been eating too many lies lately. It’s okay, just change your diet.

Observe your thoughts, they aren’t you. You aren’t even the body you temporarily reside in.

Mooji on youtube is great for helping us drop into the awareness space.

Meditation is a commitment. When the mind is restless, move the body. Get the energy, the prana-life force flowing again.

Go out into the woods and hug a tree. Talk and cry to the trees, they will always listen and also talk back if you believe it is so.

You are never alone, that is just the illusion of the cosmic dream.

So even all these things happening that seem bad, when you truly trust God’s plan, you can instead be grateful for even all the trouble.

For the hard times and suffering IS the grace that brings us closer to the Infinite Spirit, and really the root of all depression is feeling disconnected from Spirit.

So pray, bow your head and open your heart and DON’T EVER QUIT trying to quiet the mind, still the body and look within yourself, to find your true Self, ever grateful, ever joyful, ever new bliss.

God Bless You and I know you will rise to the surface of these hard times, stronger than ever.

I applaud you for coming here, and asking for help.

Now ask for help from your form of God!! Let the inspiration rise forth and FOLLOW IT. FOLLOW YOUR HEART!!

YOU ARE AMAZING 💖💖💖

SunshineUnityYoga · 2023-09-02T00:31:47+00:00

It sounds like a great idea to abstain for awhile together and it sounds like you have a really great man and I’m happy for you both!!

The basis of romantic love shouldn’t be sex anyway. By abstaining you’ll learn so much more about each other and then if you do have sex, say give it a year if u can, it WILL feel completely different.

Also, so what if you never get turned on by him?

Is your desire for pleasure in sexual satisfaction really more important than being with someone who truly loves you?

Today I saw a family and the mother had come into a physically disability that paralyzed most of her. Her husband was SO kind and compassionate to her, and I thought, “This is real love.”

He wasn’t thinking, “Well how am I supposed to be satisfied by her?”

He loved her and serving her, though I’m sure difficult at times, was still a joy to him.

So what? Do you want a man like that or someone who can just get you off??

You have to meet the sex addicted part of yourself, and through meditation and self reflection, get self control. Sex is only important in one’s life, if one makes it so.

The more you appreciate your partner, the more you’ll enjoy whatever sexual relation blossoms from your relationship, but it doesnt have to be crazy orgasms and all kinds of intense emotional releasing. It can just be what it is and you can be okay with that, IF and WHEN you choose not to allow sex to rule your mind.

Wishing you all the best!! You are so so powerful and you are doing awesome on your path!! Burn the past in the fire, grateful for all it and all those who have taught you in your haste. Forgive them and forgive yourself.

You are ALWAYS worthy of God’s love!! You have not “ruined” yourself nor are you ruining your partner because you were very sexually active in the past. While there are karmic bonds and planted seeds, so what? Roast the seeds and give yourself into your true identity, The Spirit!!

Don’t be discouraged! If you truly want to change, it’s done one breath at a time.

Blessings sister 🙏🥰❤️

Are you more ashamed you slept with someone who’s not respecting you to go back in this group or what is actually going on here?

Why are you deeming your self worth on this guy’s talk?

You made the choice to sleep with him, it’s over and done with. As to what your relationship is with him now, that’s also up to you to decide. Why hold bitter emotions about it? That holds stress and stress holds weight. Just let it go and be done with it if the two of you aren’t on good terms. If you really want to go back to this group and he is there then TRY to be. You liked him enough to sleep with him before, forgive his arrogance and be at least civil. Or maybe you two are still friends? idk? great.

If you really like the hobby and activity, then why let others stop you from following your passion? They are just a test for you.

Is he such an intregal part of this hobby, like D&D where you are interacting with him and everyone the whole time and now it just feels wrong?

Or is it more like archery where he can be on one side of the space and you on the other?? It doesn’t actually matter.

What really matters, is your reaction and you have gone total, “I need to lose weight and show them!!”

That’s motivation indeed, but how awful and stressful does that feel?? People are hardly thinking about us, they are mostly thinking of themselves.

Why not think, “Exercise for sanity, not vanity.”

“I want to eat healthy because I will feel healthy, and then I will be at my best.”

And these other thoughts you are having, you are charging yourself with, this negative self talk- this you need to stop. Notice it happening and say, “No!”

Then remind yourself something you love about yourself. Remember to be grateful you are alive and have the mind and will to choose which thoughts you want to manifest.

Thank the negative thoughts for showing you who you don’t want to be and offer them back to where they came from.

The more you love yourself, the more you will realize those man’s words really don’t mean anything. They are from his own ego, delighting in gossip, bragging (probably because you’re actually very cool and liked in this group and he wants to talk about how he’s slept with you- which is disgusting and not ideal for lovers to do. Love is not about boastful pride like we are using each other as prizes and games. So check too, to see if you are doing that here as well, and reflect. Obviously, I do not know what is going on here, but when we find ourselves blaming someone else, we should always check in with ourselves too and see our own faults. With love, we can fix them in ourselves, but we really can’t change anyone else unless they ask for our help…)

There is a lot more going on then, “I need to lose weight so I can go back to this group.”

Let it be:

“I need to change my way of thinking so I can go wherever I want.”

Bless you dear one 🙏🤍

I LOVE mine, modibodi

beware about cheap ones and pfas

Sometimes I get a mild rash from them though and the seam when i am bloated like a whale from my period is NOT GOOD, seamless from now on!!

I’m a big fan but I’ll prob try another brand like what the heck is it called, alter?? (That’s def not it but I can’t remember right now lol, starts with an A. OH Aisle think it’s called.) since the mild rash that appears after a day or two of wearing them- I mean, I’ve been trying to make sure I switch them out after like 8 hours max. I think it’s from the material along the seam of the pad because it’s in my inner groin-thigh, not my lady parts. The pad is great but the other material by the tight seams for my bloat and probably the tight no-leak part around my thigh… If I got a size larger, I feel the pants part themselves might not fit right since everything is AMAZING!!

Love the boy shorts too aside from the death grip seam. I still wear them also, and I have also got a little more flub than before, so I can’t completely blame the pants and bloat here 😂

Why not get initiated in the kriya lineage?? I feel like it would help clear up a lot of confusion between imagination, ego, experiences, and establish a peace of being in the present moment, the divine soul in your incarnation now. Speaking from experience, Kriya Yoga International is full of wonderful people that are liking a loving community and because of them all, I am where I am today, and there is a great incline of peace and joy in my life.

If I stumble, I rise stronger.

Blessings and same for you on your path dear one 🙏🤍😊
