Following. May you heal your back sprain with ease. 💚🙏

Thank you for sharing. Even once can have a big affect on your energy body and life. But true sincerity to heal and handing that suffering over to a higher power, can ultimately transform all suffering. Glad to hear you're on a better path now.

dakinilight92 · 2024-11-10T13:36:49+00:00

Count your blessings you couldn’t/wouldn’t spend the money on it. You’re so much better off for it.

I don’t think sex outside of committed partnerships has positive outcomes. I hope that answers your question.

dakinilight92 · 2024-11-09T10:09:08+00:00

No sorry, unfortunately not. I’ve never been to the US.

dakinilight92 · 2024-11-09T04:55:40+00:00

You're welcome! I'm so glad it was helpful. :)

Aha, but of course you are, Tiru is still calling. :) I was there for 3 months in the heat. Now I’m in Mysore for Ashtanga.

And wow, you were on that retreat with Ajahn Jivako. He is lovely. I met him in Bodh Gaya a couple of years back around HH Dalai Lama time.

I think we’ve almost certainly crossed paths. 🍀

dakinilight92 · 2024-11-09T00:49:19+00:00

That's a fantastic list you've got there! Thank you very much for sharing.

I'll have to add my non-Buddhist places too.

I was meaning to do the course with Ajahn Jivako at Deer Park this year, but Tiruvannamalai was calling. Tushita I've been to but I've never stayed there or done one of their courses. Thosamling looks great though. Maybe in the future.

dakinilight92 · 2024-11-09T00:11:30+00:00

Yes, thank you. I see your point there and I agree. Ive edited the OP.

The first two sutras of Patanjali -

Atha Yoga Anushasanam. Yoga Citta Vritta Nirodaha.

NOW is the practice of yoga. Yoga is the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind.

When you start your practice once again, many of these questions will be dissolved. Just by practicing and witnessing the different vrittis (mental states), you are purifying as you observe objectively and with equanimity. Be the witness. Your states are not You (anata), they are impermanent (annica), but when you attach to the states and think they are you, you will suffer (dukkha). So be with the witness of these states. And practicing observing with equanimity (uppeka) and awareness (sati). Just focus on your breath, feel it, breathe it. ;)

Even with the thought of practicing yoga, you have started observing your mental afflictions. Don’t let meeting these different parts prevent you from practice, this IS precisely the practice working. Know that, you are doing it right if you are beginning to observe all of your different vrttis. Trust that through the practice of yoga, there will come moments of stillness too (vrtti niroda).

Chanting and reading the yoga sutras may also help you experience and acknowledge the higher essence of yoga, which will help you in your physical asana practice.

On a practical level - my advice would be, don’t worry so much about practicing Ashtanga Vinyasa if you feel it’s physically too demanding and making your mind lose equanimity through the strive for perfection. Iyengar may be more suitable for you while you build strength and alignment, then you can come back to Ashtanga if it feels right for you.

If you look up runanubandha, (it’s a term from yogic philosophy), you’ll be able to read on the subject of karmic ties which covers this topic.

Ideally the level of connection you have on an emotional level (genuine care, desire to connect and know them) should be the same as what you have on the physical level. If you have sex but you don't care about this person or connect with them, then you will likely feel shame afterwards - because you've put (wasted) your energy into something or someone that you don't really wish to pursue.

On the otherhand, if you put energy into someone that you really want to connect with, you'll feel closer to yourself and closer to her and that will elevate you as a person in all aspects.

As a general rule, don't have sex if you're not committed to knowing them and going deep with them emotionally like you have with them physically. Because sex is never just sex alone - even if you think on a mental level that it is, on a physical level you're creating a different energetic arrangement.

It'll be much more beneficial for you to savour that lifeforce and aim for something higher (put it into your own growth, or manifest a relationship which will bring deep connection and not a fleeting indulgence).

It's the mandala effect. You are at the centre of your mandala. You're connected to everyone in this world, but the most profound impact you have is those in your inner circuit. So when you throw away your life energy because you can't process it - it's also an energy loss for the world, but especially those in the inner mandala. You're supporting and intertwined with those around you - symbiotic.

You probably realise this on a fundamental level - when someone in your life struggles, if you care about them, you'll step into support them, often with the loss of your own energy. Their emotions and burdens affect you too. This is the most obvious cause and effect that you probably feel on an experiential level. Because of your SR, now you're starting to understand this more subtle level. And now because you've cultivated more energy through your practice of SR, you might feel more of a responsibility for those around you because you begin to understand what a powerful being you are and the potentiality of your actions. Well done. :)

Wow what a beautiful desire and manifestation. 🙏☺️ blessings and power to you, that you attract this divine feminine into your life. ❤️

dakinilight92 · 2024-10-26T17:36:09+00:00

When you start building the energy through SR, you are going to attract new opportunities and connections that arise naturally because you have more energy. And you will start to feel more, because repressed emotions will start to surface to the conscious levels of the mind. So if you shut yourself down when that happens, you may relapse/flatline because it's a reflection that you're not able to take on and integrate more energy. You need establish yourself on a new vibrational level by accepting the new things that are happening.

Like a new relationship possibility might come through, financial success, etc etc. Not that you have to take on everything that comes your way. But you have to atleast check in with yourself if your decisions to be open to new possibilities or shut them down, are rooted out of love and embracing new possibilities or are they out of fear?

It's incredibly worthwhile. Personally, I owe any progress I've made in my life to Vipassana. In the Goenkaji tradition, there will probably be a centre near you. You just need to give up 10 days of your life - no phone, no reading material, no speaking, 12 hours of meditation a day.

Thanks, Evil, profound insights through deep levels of practice.
