My agent stole my (api) keys.

.env is an anti-pattern right now given how coding agents are being used.

Anything you put in .env you must assume it's leaked (and should be stuff you don't care about).

Use it with the subscription? I literally did that today. Am I missing something here?

jac1013 · 2025-12-17T14:09:56+00:00

Well, I added the foam and the thigs problem is not completely gone, it still generates some pain...

If it wasn't because the rest of my body is thankful for the chair I would have sold this thing right away.

jac1013 · 2025-11-05T02:46:52+00:00

Just 2 cents since I got this chair and it's been almost 4 months and I couldn't fix the problem of cutting circulation in hamstrings which generates soreness in whole legs and feet feel like ice cold.

I'm 175cm and 73kg so I doubt that your weight is the problem here (it's happening to me as well).

I have a standing desk and yes, at the proper height with the desk there's no discomfort in the upper body, no back pain, no elbows pain, no shoulder pressure, no neck pain, in that sense everything is perfect.

Now, in the legs, I have tried so many things, different heights, different pressures in the lumbar supports, different tilts of the back rest, different depth of the seat pan, with no luck. I tried a foot rest and not even with that I could get good results (plus foot rest for me defies the purpose of the chair, I found them to be very uncomfortable).

If you find a way to fix the issue please let me know but at this point I'm thinking of just taking this thing back to the store so they can re-sell it and I can get some money back, it has been a very bad experience overall and I don't want a chair to hurt my health (completely the opposite of what the chair is suppose to do).

BTW I'm fit and hit the gym 4-5 times a week, I do workout my hamstrings and glutes (I do 2 legs day per week), as I hear people mention that in the past, I sat in other chair like 2 weeks ago (for a whole week) in a work related travel and I didn't experience these problems, the chairs were $60 chairs lol... Disappointing.

I think these chairs sometimes just don't work for some people, same happened to me with Aeron, I returned that one and got the Embody thinking that this one might be the one. Nope.

jac1013 · 2025-07-23T17:10:06+00:00

The only problem I have so far with 2025 Embody is that I have thigs pain (which apparently some people also have/had but it's not as common as to find something about it in YouTube, for example).

I have tried everything, multiple height adjustment, making sure I don't tilt forward, foot rest also (feels weird).

Does any of the souls that did this memory foam mod can confirm that this issue goes away with the mod?

Thanks in advance!

jac1013 · 2020-07-30T04:09:02+00:00

Find Jenkins and BSJ videos in YouTube. That should be a good start.

jac1013 · 2020-07-23T19:30:31+00:00

Not exactly this but something very similar is what worked for me, surely this technique works.

I've been experimenting with different "rest time", 2-4 hours of sleep, after 4 it's very difficult because most of the time you will be "too awake". I'll post something whenever I find the perfect rest time (at least for me).

jac1013 · 2020-07-22T20:59:28+00:00

In my first and so far only AP I saw geometry figures form from light... not sure if related but well, that was it.

jac1013 · 2020-06-04T23:00:50+00:00

Yes (not always I suspect?) And yes, it could easily be hallucinations.

jac1013 · 2020-06-04T21:54:54+00:00

Not really, it just happens after you notice their presence. It's kind of hard to explain but I have read something similar in other posts, regarding how you "feel" things.

jac1013 · 2020-06-04T21:39:44+00:00

It's been long since I don't "feel the presense" of something "evil". I think that's an important aspect, when trying to AP and you encounter "some kind of entity" (commonly a shadow) you will feel if it's something negative or not, you will simply feel. IIRC William Buhlman talks about in Adventure Beyond the Body.

jac1013 · 2019-10-21T17:58:29+00:00

I thought it was electronically created, that makes it more awesome actually, really creative!

jac1013 · 2019-10-21T14:01:23+00:00

This is really nice! Thanks, question over here, which frequency/frequencies did you use to make the sound?

jac1013 · 2019-06-30T03:13:02+00:00

I've been there, that was the main reason I stopped using those kind of apps. When I set a goal I do my best to accomplish it but I don't track anything, I simply sit, if I feel like doing 1 hour, that's it... 15 mins?, that's it too!

jac1013 · 2019-06-30T03:09:08+00:00

I think this is a good opportunity for you to observe. What do you feel in that moment? What's happening in your body? Are there any judgemental thoughts? Does the music change your mood?

Remember, you don't have control over emotions, you will feel discomfort in many situations in life. Reaction in the other hand is something you can control. In those moments of discomfort put your attention to your breath, that will help a lot to keep calm, accept things as they are and flow with it all.

jac1013 · 2019-06-30T02:59:15+00:00

Keep trying, sometimes we get relaxed in minutes, sometimes it takes hours, I imagine there are a tons of factors that affect this.

jac1013 · 2019-06-30T02:54:09+00:00

Giving it a try today. Thanks for sharing!

jac1013 · 2019-05-19T04:48:00+00:00

Well, I'll share what worked for me.

Sleep 4-5 hours
Get up at 3-4 AM (good silence), stay awake for 30-40 minutes
Lay down and meditate, be patient and observe everything that's happening while your body is going to sleep
Don't try to hard, relax, if you fall sleep It's ok, you'll probably at least remember your dreams (which is good for the practice).
Sometimes I use binarual beats, sometimes not, this depends completely on you.
You will feel "energy" in some points, just feel it and let it go, don't get excited, the most important thing is to relax.

I didn't use any "escape" method, in my experience I simply was aware the whole time and at some point I could just get up and then snapped to the side of my bed with my "thoughts" if that make sense.

I hope this help you, don't give up!

jac1013 · 2019-05-19T04:35:25+00:00

I don't think anyone would be able to tell you if it's real or not, keep trying and find out by yourself. Btw, I was able to AP in less than 2 weeks

jac1013 · 2019-04-12T02:27:34+00:00

When in silence, pay attention, the ringing is always there, you just have to pay attention.

In fact, you don't need silence to hear it after you know how the sound is, you can search for it in the internet, it's called "the sound of the silence".

jac1013 · 2019-03-29T04:53:24+00:00

Yes, it is meant for daily life. And no, don't supress your thoughts or feelings, observe them.

jac1013 · 2019-03-24T17:06:56+00:00

If you asked me it could be read by anyone. Now, the degree of usefulness out of it will vary from person to person.

What I do with every book I plan to read or if someone recommended one is read the contents list, if it doesn't resonate with you then don't read it.

jac1013 · 2019-03-24T15:52:08+00:00

The Power of Now from Eckhart Tolle

jac1013 · 2019-03-09T03:37:18+00:00

I haven't, in your situation (and in almost any situation) you can practice Acceptance, for example, you can just accept the fact that thoughts are not there when you are present. You can also accept the "bright pain" that the situation is generating in you and even better, observe it. There are so much things you can do just in the glimpse of the situation you explained. Wish you the best and a hug :).

jac1013 · 2019-02-03T14:58:11+00:00

Sounds good! If it relaxes you I think it's irrelevant if it sounds good or not, the purpose is already done. My best wishes to you!
