Namaskaram, I have been wondering about something lately. While doing Shambhavi, during the last phase, in that stillness, it's clear that I am not the mind; I am not the body, but throughout the day, I oscillate between the identity and awareness.
So there is a tug of war happening between awareness and identity. At what stage in the spiritual process does awareness increase to such an extent that it overpowers the identity?
Is it a matter of adding more kriyas or practices that generate more energy, which in turn increases the awareness, or is it about making the identity so small that only awareness remains?
I sometimes think it's because I haven't done shoonya or samyama; hence I'm facing this dilemma. Sometimes I feel I don't have sufficient energy to hold that awareness. I am amazing within myself but still get lost in the thinking process sometimes. I don't stay there for long though
What would be a correct way to approach this?

Hi everyone, I completed Surya Kriya about 7 years ago and practiced it regularly. However, I had to stop in 2020 after developing a disc herniation in my back.

I’m now thinking about starting the practice again. Has anyone with a herniated disc been able to safely do Surya Kriya? If so, did you modify the practice or get any specific guidance before restarting?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thank you!

Namaskaram, I am very keen on getting initiated into Shoonya, but IYC Coimbatore is full this October. I see Shoonya initiations are happening at the Bangalore ashram as well, but I was more inclined to get initiated at the main ashram as I've gone through most of the programs there.
For anyone who has been initiated at Bangalore, is there a difference in the way the ambience is (which I'm sure won't be much different since it's Isha), or should I wait this November and do it at IYC
Any suggestion?

What do you think is the best strategy to trade US500? I have noticed large volume at market open, and it sweeps liquidity and rallies to the other side. I have caught a lot of large moves, but I don't have a strategy per se
Would anyone share a repeatable method if you have any

I completed my Anand Alai last week, and it just felt amazing. I was very messed up mentally, and it showed in my feed, and I went through it. I felt distinctly dissociated with my thoughts and was just buzzing with awareness within. I was literally staring at a screw for 15 minutes without a muscle twitch.
But slowly it's fading, and the mental diarrhea is returning. I realise it's me that's eating the bad food(mentally). Do you mentally distance yourself from the thoughts?
I am repeating the crash course throughout the day, but still something is fading. How does one hold that energy longer?
As experienced Sadhaks, how would you approach this situation?

Hi, I came across a creator who is doing some decent launches. Is there any bot or way to snipe when his CA creates a token? Something like trojon etc
Get in early and sell after 2-3x or whatever settings I chose?

I am 34, single, and have been working from home as a day trader for the past 7-8 years. I feel I am stuck at home. Getting out of the house feels so overwhelming. I don't even feel like socialising anymore. To the point I haven't spoken to people for days, except my mother. I feel I haven't grown as a person.
I have been financially stuck in the same position for 2-3 years
I feel I've missed out on a lot in my prime years. I still hope to travel and grow as a person, but I can't take the first step, and now it's starting to eat at my soul.
Honest thought? be brutal..I can take it lol

I am cursious how devs make money with meme coin launches? I assume sol coins are zero tax unlike ETH

Please dont be oversmart and say rugs and scam; you are cool. Now let's move forward..

Would appreciate some genuine insight

I want to copy trades taken by users during xm competition. What im thinking to do

The scraping part (mostly figured out):

• Using Playwright to monitor trader profile pages on my.xm.com
• Each trader profile shows: Symbol, Type (BUY/SELL), Volume, Open Price, Open Time, Profit
• Will open one browser tab per trader being watched
• Refresh every 5 seconds to detect new/closed trades

What can be my best option to copy these trades on my main account since claude is facing issue will taking trades since im on mac. It says mt5 library wont work on mac and needs a VPS

Can someone point me the right direction?
