A few days ago I was dozing off in bed, and entered a state between awake and asleep. I remember kicking something "in there", and my leg jolted. :D

Yeah, happens to me a lot too lol. Very upsetting when I'm training for astral projection as I'm immediately recalled to a waking state, but it's also a good sign I guess, pointing out that one needs to accomplish a better FULL relaxation technique.
You know, I mostly disregard as completely needless everything outside the ToZ when it comes to magick and meditation and such things, but once I read, from this complete nobody who's trying to make himself some money selling bullshit on "how to get your own succubus" and stuff like that, of a relaxation example that turned out to become the best astral projection ATTEMPT I've ever tried.
Long story short, the man suggested to visualize a warm/hot white liquid being poured inside you starting with the feet and leg upwards, slowly but inexorably filling every nook and cranny in the body until you feel full and relaxed. This, he says, was just to accomplish a mental state in which "your succubus" (or whatever parasite posing as one that he was trying to brainwash others into attracting, more like) can come to you.
In MY experience, this visualization was so calming I got to the point where I felt my astral head was (literally) headbanging its way out of the physical one. I felt this as a repeated attempt, like ten times in a row in a few seconds, then it stopped when the rest of my Soul refused to let go of the body....

To this day, that was the most successful try.

I do both, but I have not done them together properly yet. Some foundation breathing, yes, but that's about it. I want to get more expierence on both until I combine them.

Personally, I don't think you should postpone potentially great training. Yoga and breathing go hand in hand, actually I begun the whole yoga training using the number of breaths as the time measure before switching to the next asana. Since you do breathe all the time anyway, you might as well use breathing techniques that make it any easier for our Kundalini to be stimulated into rising.

but honestly it beats sitting on a carpet or any other hard surface. Do you have expierence with yoga props?[/quote wrote:

As for the pillow.. nah, I don't think it's for pussies lol. A pillow's only usefulness is to make your blood flow more smoothly as you use (mostly, I think) sitting asanas and want your legs and lower body not to fall asleep, or even worse getting cramps that distract you from meditation. I started using one after I read HP Pythia suggested to use one in the ToZ, always sat on whatever I had before, mattress or cement surfaces alike (cuz, you know.. pillow are for pussies.. XD nah, j/k).

My yoga props so far has only ever been a "yoga mat", on of those half an inch thick silicone like rolled up mats you can buy anywhere. Not too thin, or you feel like you're doing yoga on cheer concrete (that's where I usually do it) but surely not thick enough that you can 'sink' in it, losing the connection with the ground that you need for most asanas to actually force you into their multiple benefits.

Lastly, forgive me but I gotta ask... who's Henu? A Gods' name? I can tell it's Egyptian and love it.. been curious for a while now.

HAIL ZEUS FOREVER!

Rotate chakras as you feel comfortable
You can also look at this image for a few minutes before rotating the chakras to better visualize the rotation of your chakras.

Sounds like a very effective method and I should try that. The best relaxations in corpe pose I have personally expierenced were done in about the same manner. Begin from toes and relax one part at a time as completely as possible and slowly more upward. After I reached head I would just maintain the ultimate relaxation for as long as I needed.

Yes, I will try sithali breathing with poses soon enough. And of course breath of fire combines well with kundalini yoga, and it's "built-in" for many kriyas. So there's that.

I have had this ascetic mindset. Cold showers, sleeping on hard surface, doing yoga without a yoga mat, fasting, etc. Most of it is bullshit, except maybe cold showers on a hot day and doing yoga without mat, but some yoga sets are better done with a soft mat. I think such mindset has served it's purpose to increase mental resilience, but reasonably thinking props are good to use (and eating is much needed, and also pleasurable!).

I can't say that I have wathced Cobra Kai. I had to look it up, looks like fun and I might watch it later, who knows. I used to do Hokutoryu Jiu Jitsu as a teen. I almost got back into it last year, but not enough money to spend on season payment halted my plan. Maybe later.

Lastly, forgive me but I gotta ask... who's Henu? A Gods' name? I can tell it's Egyptian and love it.. been curious for a while now.

Well, that's me. It's my real life nick name. :D Not quite a Gods name. :D Altough there is Hanuman in hinduism which is pretty close to this. I haven't done past life regression so I can't say without speculating if I have a connection to Egypt.

I spin base, sacral, and solar to the right.
heart, I spin bottom half to the right and top half to the left.
For throat 6th and crown I spin to the left.
Anja(3rd eye) I spin to the right.
Can't decide how to spin shoulder hips and temples so I don't spin them, nor do I soon the gold chakra above the head or minor chakras in the head.

Excuse me for taking such a long time to reply. It's just your posts have lot more to crunch for me than the usual posts around here.

an old Batman and Robin movie where Robin did his laundry like he was doing a weapon kata, lol.. not exactly what I mean, but it's a fitting example.

:D

In this case, I have been using martial arts' mentality (rigorous discipline and training) to kinda force myself into meditating more and doing more rituals. I've been suffering quite a bit of stress lately, between a death in the family and the loss of my job for someone else's fault, so I've been using whatever means to hold myself together.. had been using probably too much Earth at first (although I DID go slow this time), as I needed more grounding, but in the end it was going back to my past as a martial artist what did the ultimate trick for me. Also (in case you never heard of it or don't know what it is about) I was 'drawn' by a lot of signs towards Wing Chun, a style that I never really thought much of. Right now, I'm thinking "what the fuck did I even study anything other than this for so long?" XD ..honestly, knowing martial arts better than most people, I can tell that this martial arts is almost comparable to entering a "god mode" cheat in a videogame.. it gives you an edge that most arts don't even explore and the greatest thing (other than that edge) is that it's studied so that it uses minimal physical effort. Not for nothing Ip Man was the teacher of the greatest martial artist of the last century. It kind of feels like Wing Chun has been one of those many secrets that have been kept from us.. things that deal with energy and delivering killing blows through it included. We normally mention Telekinesis and Pyro in this forum, but there's definitely other 'powers' that deal with using energy to break concrete blocks and metal, etc. Now that I think of it, HP Pythia does mention that in the Kundalini page in the ToZ.

Sorry to hear about your hardships. On the other hand. Those are the things that mold us into stronger, more capable beings. So, bring it on! Right? :)

I had a quick glanze at Wing Chun, and I think that's something right on my avenue. The wooden dummy for training could be so much fun!

https://templeofzeus.org/Kundalini.php

There it is, knew I'd read that. Too bad this kind of skill tends to be overlooked by many who easily fall for the more attractive ones.
....Kind of think that "breaking concrete blocks" would fall under the "Earth manipulation/elementalist" category, don't you think?

Not sure about the right terms, but generally speaking higher bioelectricity, more ability. And yeah, concentraing energy on hand(s) while hitting blocks is certainly doable, lol. I'm really intrigued about combining spiritual path with martial arts. Actually, thats how it used to be when you think about it. These things are one, not separate.

I had a look at that martial art you did.. are you Finnish? Says it's a Finnish one so I assumed there'd be more schools there, also would explain why I never heard of it.

I live in Finland, yes. I'm from close by, but moved in here over two decades ago.

Looking at what it's about, I'd say it's another MMA that includes elements from Judo and Jiujitsu together with the "bashing" blows from basic Shotokan Karate, trying to mould it into a hard style that could work well enough in a one-on-one encounter on the street. If you're a big guy who finds easier to physically overpower others with bodyweight and a few well grounded blows, go for it. Most people who pick up fights aren't martial artists, so the risk of running into one that knows more than you is lower. If you're anywhere near 'middle sized' or 'scrawny' or any lightweight, I'd say, drop it. When choosing your own martial art it's a common mistake to go for the flashier, coolest, notoriously stronger or most unusual one. People end up trying to learn a style that doesn't suit their physical abilities, their grounding, balance, level of strength or agility. If you're 5'5'' and weight 200 pounds you won't want to pick Capoeira or Taekwondo as your personal style. You'll want to use your mass and shorter size as an advantage, definitely not something that holds you further away from winning a fight, or getting you tired very easily. And if you're a lightweight you won't pick Sumo either lol.

You got it right, that's pretty much how it is. Basically competitions boil down to few punches or kicks and rest happens on ground trying to get a lock by grappling.

I never though about that kind of approach to martial arts. At the time I just though that it was best option for me from the local options which are not many as I live in somewhere less populated area.

I know there's someone here in the forum that was trying to put together a large PDF about Martial Arts, but it's been a while since I saw anything other than the original post mentioning this.

Yes, I remember that member. He had a setback, and had to start anew with his work.

These are the topics:

I see you posted there aswell. :D

As for not having enough money to study a martial art today, you don't need it. There's more than enough material online to study effectively (if you have basic martial arts knowledge already that sure helps). I've learned more stuff studying by myself for over a decade than the nearly two decades before, when I had masters in Karate or Kung Fu and Wushu casually walking between 20-30 students and lifting your fist half an inch higher (like you didn't know where you're gonna punch someone). In my opinion, you don't need a teacher/sifu/sensei, unless you practice something that just needs a sparring partner (arts like Judo, where you need to learn how to apply your force and rotation to their weight a few hundred times before that movement can become something that belongs to you and you can do it in a fight).
One of the reasons I also favor Wing Chun now (other than it puts most Chinese and Japanese styles to ridicule in comparison) is that you can train it on a wooden dummy and have a VERY good chance of using it correcting in a fight.

Now I share your view, but I need to invest in a dummy and get some learning material now then, don't I? :D

In the end, however, the choice is yours. I can only show you various directions and tell you which I think would suit you more, but you have to feel what you need more than anything. In my experience, you'll choose a hundred wrong styles before you can understand what you REALLY need. This is also a very useful process because most of us THINK they know what their strengths and flaws are, but won't truly find out until facing the skill requiring that strength, or even that flaw, before realizing better what we are more prone to be successful at.
If you need a hand, do ask.

I think my current strenght is to kick in the groin and smash the head. Then run. My flaw? Not enough strength, but who needs strength when you can kick in the groin? :D

I have slim frame with lotsa endurance. Some strenght, and building more strenght every day. I'm around 5 foot 9 inches and 150 pounds. Lol, I had to use converters. I think I'll be around 155 pounds by the end of the year. I have some flexibility, and for some areas I'm pretty stiff. Like lower back and hamstrings are weak points in regards to flexibility. I think speed and endurance are my forte, strenght not so much. So tactically insert fingers into eyes, then run? Lol!

So, will wing chun suit me? :D

Love the Henu name, anyway. For some reason it reminded me of Thoth. I guess we've all had an Egyptian root (and Greek, and Mesopotamic, etc).. fascination/nostalgia with those land should already indicate something, like that you've been there before and miss what it once was.

Haha, thanks. I've had moments of connection to Egypt so many times, but who knows for sure. Like a faint longing feeling to the great era. I will find out in due time.

HAIL ZEUS FOREVER!

PS. Hope I didn't screw up the 'quoting' thing again, I had just learned how to use it correctly and now it's changed again.. XD

Will he say it, can he say it?
HAIL SHAYTAN
He said it!

PS. Just use the preview feature. I use it all the time as I have/want to proofread my posts many many times for errors and minor edits.

PPS. Charge through your issues like a beast!

Not a problem, Brother, this last couple of months seems to be filled with unforeseen setbacks and whatever else, even I can't respond as quick as I usually like to.

That's for sure. Those that don't perceive hardship as something more like a challenge to better ourselves don't last long in whatever they do and are prone to self inflicted discomfort and pain. As Zevism we, more than anyone else I ever heard of, are subject to enemy attacks and continuous troubling times, especially (as I noticed) during the times of most success.. the enemy's way of saying "we've been paying attention to you". I've seen this happen a lot over the last two years, last year especially. Also, last year I had more success as a Zevist than I ever had before, so that's another proof for me to believe this as more than mere theory.

I had a quick glanze at Wing Chun, and I think that's something right on my avenue. The wooden dummy for training could be so much fun!

I've been wanting to experiment with the wooden dummy for decades, guess this is where I finally let it happen. Although I treasure this last Wing Chun exploration more than all the styles I've learned to 'fear' for their ineffectiveness (the coolest ones in particular way) I do like the idea of mixing the very essence of Wing Chun (which is the concept of attack AND defense at the same time.. along with the idea that one shouldn't lose stamina foolishly and only do as much as needed.. this is probably what makes it look like kinda lame, or for old people lol) with other techniques, as long as the attack AND defense at the same time is always applied here). There's still very effective techniques, mostly strikes, to take advantage of that are very valid material in a real fight.

I'm really intrigued about combining spiritual path with martial arts. Actually, thats how it used to be when you think about it. These things are one, not separate.

Same as I've always thought. Ever since playing my first Mortal Kombat game as a young noob I liked the idea that every martial artist should also take the necessary time in developing some other skill, possibly favoring the Elemental kind, like Pyro or Cryo and so on.
To be completely honest, only many years after that I learned of Satan's words about "delight in creation as well as in destruction", and even now more often than not I tend to forget how destruction is simply a part of what we are that I have always had a VERY hard time accepting. To this day, my best abilities are of the healing kind, and ever though I have pushed myself as far and as much as I could try to, I ended up 'cockblocking myself' right before getting to the goodies, ending up telling myself that "destruction isn't for me" - which is bullshit fed by the enemy more like - and that I don't really want to cause damage to others (even those that truly deserve it).
This wrong thinking is what stopped me from accomplishing so many things in the past... I'm working on stopping this stupid mental process and advancing past the point of being able to destroy the enemy by magickal/Elemental means.

You got it right, that's pretty much how it is. Basically competitions boil down to few punches or kicks and rest happens on ground trying to get a lock by grappling.

Yeah, lol never been a fan of ground fighting like that Greek-Roman style.. besides, if there's more than one opponent you risk having someone else kick you in the head while you grapple the first guy.. not the most desired result. This is why I like Wing Chun so much, it's fast and gives a much larger window of opportunity to fight multiple guys at once, if needed, something that more 'beautiful' martial arts don't allow much liberty with.

I see you posted there aswell. :D

Had seen those around.. couldn't wait for the product lol :P

Now I share your view, but I need to invest in a dummy and get some learning material now then, don't I? :D

I've been looking prices online but they ask for absurd amount, as expected. All these sad fucks who produce 'professional' martial arts equipment think it's worth the weight in gold and that they're the only supplier in the world.
Me, I'm gonna build my own wooden dummy out of spare wood pieces and rope, more like lol. Just gotta make sure there's no splinters and sharp parts.. the common dummy has got rounded wood 'limbs', I got square shaped ones, but it's a good enough wood that I can use to practice breaking it. Already tried to break some a punch and it worked like a charm lol.. the greatest thing about training with wooden targets? You never know how much power you have been building up until the moment you easily enough break something with your fist. Other than the obvious usefulness, it's a psychological factor telling you "dude, fuck! you can fist through wood! imagine what you can do to someone's ribcage..." XD Good feeling indeed.

The same principle is valid for magick and Elemental powers. We don't 'build a magickal dummy' or something, but it's definitely a good idea to periodically test ourselves in trying to accomplish something we've been training with. When you see even the slightest unexpected result it's a good sign telling you you've been growing more powerful.
Just realized this myself as I have had an unexpected success with something I haven't even really trained much with, but that somehow seems right up my alley all of a sudden... maybe I've been unawarely getting myself ready for this in the past (it is part of a skill I have been fascinated by for a lot of time for sure) and only now that I'm (more) mentally prepared to accept it and the responsibility that comes with it I can finally 'make it happen'.
I'm going to experiment more with this and eventually post something about it.

I think my current strenght is to kick in the groin and smash the head. Then run. My flaw? Not enough strength, but who needs strength when you can kick in the groin? :D

lol.. just don't make of one tactic your entire survival skill, always have something else up your sleeve, just in case. You're taller than most people and don't weigh much.. (I had to use converters to put that in centimeters and kilos lol..) I assume that means you have longer arms than most people as well (slim people usually do) and that means your hands can reach someone's face and neck with less effort than if you were a 5 foot 4 guy facing someone 5 foot 9. Reaching easily for the face and neck means you have probably easier access to delicate areas that are prone to break (nose and chin) or temporary incapacitate (neck and ears), just to name a few possibilities. I'd be tempted to tell you you'd make a great Mantis style practitioner, but it's also a style that requires deeper understanding of human anatomy and is a little more complicated than a kick in the groin... also, it requires some hand conditioning as your fingers become literally lethal. Long slim arms and stiff body also remind me of Crane style, where arms and dodging are everything. Forget kicking high, it's not as reliable as movies makes it look.

So, will wing chun suit me? :D

I'd have to compare you to your opponent as a difference in height can give the other guy the upper hand (no pun, lol).. ideally you should have a style that goes with your body type and works with every opponent's body type.. you don't want to be facing a 5 foot 1 fucking ninja that disappears between your legs and respawns on your shoulder aiming for your neck.

Haha, thanks. I've had moments of connection to Egypt so many times, but who knows for sure. Like a faint longing feeling to the great era. I will find out in due time.

Personally, I think we all remember some of that. If we lived through it at some point, with or already without our Gods, there's some ancient memory of it buried in our Souls. Time will tell indeed.

Let's check the preview now lol... (mmm... looks readable to me, will see once it's up).

HAIL ZEUS FOREVER!

I would to like ask if this is normal, usually when I spin my chakras it takes me a few seconds to do them but now in almost a week, my chakras won't even budge to spin. Is there something wrong with me? Thank you for any response!
