A statue of Songtsen Gampo in his traditional meditation cave at #Yerpa 
Yerpa (also known as , Drak Yerpa, Druk Yerpa, Dagyeba, Dayerpa and Trayerpa) is a monastery and a number of ancient #meditation caves that used to house many monks, located a short drive to the east of Lhasa, #Tibet

Anything that speaks is your ego.
It can be a messed up and bruised ego sometimes.
It can be a cheerful and decisive ego sometimes.

The inner self or the AntarAtma as we call it in the Hindu scriptures does not participate in the chatter.
It is a silent smiling witness to all the chatter.

There’s an elephant in the room that nobody seems to be bothered about.
Several of spiritually aware people are often depressed and anxious. Why is that so? Why aren’t they happy and peaceful as they ought to be?

Most of the people I encountered were those who have become depressed, anxious, psychotic, eccentric, maniac, and even suicidal. Now my focus has shifted from Spirituality and I am more concerned about such people.

Here's a thread with key lessons from each chapter of the Bhagavad Gita.
Chapter 1:
Every duty comes with challenges. Learn to embrace the hardships - thats half the battle won.

You will never know peace, long as you are attached.

Let's talk about #meditation and chronic illness:
1) It's not gonna cure your medical conditions.
2) It might improve your life in some ways, IF you're committed long term and have reasonable expectations for what it should do. 🧵

There are many types of meditation. What I'm talking about here are calming & insight meditations, aka the types @Headspace uses. This involves lots of focusing on bodily sensations, paying attention to breathing, & noticing when thinking or feeling gets in the way of that focus.
This might sound like a nightmare. "Focus on what's happening in my body? When I feel like shit?!" I get it. That's what I said too. I was VERY hesitant, especially bc doctors gaslit me in the past by suggesting meditation & saying my physical health problems were "just anxiety."

Excerpt: "As you transform into more of a leader, you have managed to provoke and anger some of the people around you. Sometimes your pride gets in the way of your humility.
You are leaning a bit too much on your intellect and not taking into consideration the feelings of others as much as you should.
Do you genuinely want to learn Tantra? Seeking spiritual growth & not power? Are you focused on spirituality as a life-long pursuit? My workshop "Meditation & Tantra" is an introduction to tantra, covers basics only as not everyone is ready for divine wisdom.

I invite you to attend these meditation sessions irrespective of the fact that you may have a guru currently. But if you want to pursue tantrism then you must unlearn everything, leave the ego behind.

Through multiple sessions I shall look for & find just 5 genuine disciples whom I shall initiate with proper deekhsha. The spiritual growth of these 5 then shall be my responsibility as per Guru Shishya Parampara.

What is the third eye? Does repeating a mantra help you see things with your third eye while meditating?
The third/spiritual eye is a person’s window to the invisible world.

Does repeating a mantra help you see things with your third eye while meditating?”—NO!
A mantra is a tuning key to a particular channel in the World of Spirit. There’s actually no need for you to open/activate the third/spiritual eye.

Once you’ve successful raised your consciousness to the alpha level through meditation, you’re able to get a glimpse of things invisible to your physical eyes but through your “mind’s eye,” that is: visual images of certain things flash across your mind.

The Moon. It represents the more receptive as well as expressive side of our nature. It represents our moods, how our moods influence us; can also represent how we are influenced by hormones.

Moon is our imagination, it is the connection to our past, our history. It is believed to be the storehouse of our past lives, represents our soul, our personality traits, habits & tendencies from one life to the next.

Now that #psychedelic trial's lack of blinding is hot again, lets remind ourselves that for most treatments blinding doesn't even work as a concept, eg. mindfulness, psychotherapy, lifestyle interventions etc. Lack of blinding is the rule rather than the exception, a short 🧵
Blinding as a concept only works for pharmacological treatments, but there are many more interventions where 'blinding' does not even work conceptually (see 👆). Nobody is upset that blinding quality is not measured and blinding integrity is not maintained in an exercise trial.
The tension:
-psychedelics are pharmacological (lets set aside therapy for a sec), so blinding should work
-blinding obviously does not work due to strong subjective drug effects
Its an 'unblindable' pharma treatment (at least by conventional methods), which is strange at first
