Good to keep in mind about the physical change fields. It seems that those at least should not be set aside for a break… thanks.

Generally I like to listen to a whole bunch for a day or 2, then take a week or 10 days off…then listen to a whole bunch again for 2 more days…
then come back to the forums and complain to @El_Capitan_Nemo about how his fields don’t work!
YMMV

LOL! But do they work like that? I wish my subconscious would get the message so fast… You must have a direct line with it… !
No. I was joking.

My teacher, who has now passed, once told me, “If you think meditation is boring, then you’re just thinking! But when meditation for a usually sincere practitioner begins to seem like a chore and you no longer look forward to it, as though it was not Friday evening but a Monday morning, STOP! Take a break, refresh and reset yourself, and then get back to your practice.”
A bunch of things seems to help me with the resting period …
- Adding the Meditation audio from the course to my nightly stack (thanks to @_OM)
- Taking a day off every week from all audios and all tags (generally Saturdays, followed by a Sunday morning of Deep Aura Cleanse)
- Sometimes, I just intuitively know that the body needs “energetic rest” and I put all my tags and audios away for at least 16-hours. This recently happened after constantly wearing the new Subconscious Limits Removal tag.
- One every 3-4 months, I do a 3 (or 5) day water fast, observe silence and stay away from all forms of communication (including reading a book) - and also from all energy work other than just being present. Really helps me clean all the excesses out - physically, emotionally, spiritually!

Hi there! Interesting what your teacher told you about meditation! I agree with her. Sometimes meditation seems like a chore. I find it impossible to meditate in those days or even weeks and more. I have gone to both extremes, from a lot of meditation to not wanting it at all for a long time.
Thanks for sharing your routines around the resting period.
" including reading a book" interesting that… I find refreshing and necessary not doing social media but never tried the book part… Sounds like the brain goes on vacation…or into a trance…

My teacher (this one) was a “He” 
If you have never done a dark retreat, that is quite something! Did two of those a decade ago and they were truly life-changing!

Sorry , yes, I saw the link after I wrote to you. Hmm… this dark retreat, ( just read about it) seems very challenging… 40 days… seems like a long time to be locked up and the cold water… hell no!!!
I can imagine they are life changing. To be honest, at this point in life I wouldn’t want to do it. I will not say never, because maybe sometime in the future I might change my mind.
What do you think were the most important things you learned out them? ( if there were some things you could single out) and care to share.

Does not need to be 40-days, can be 10-days too!
- Physically - energy shot up to a 100%
- Emotionally - there was no more guilt, fear of several things, just a sense of freedom and interconnectedness
- Spiritually - I would rather not share this openly but I will only hint that my macrocosmic orbit opened in a huge way, certain guardian deities that were not responsive before suddenly showed up and the sense of duality between the knower-knowing-known began to diminish (at least during meditation)
The higher goal of this retreat, which experienced rDzogchen practitioners undertake for around 90-days, is the Rainbow Body.
This needs to be undertaken however after a solid foundation and under the guidance of someone really experienced (at least for the first time) as the way of Tantra is much more than just meditating in a dark room! One should be ready to confront one’s demons in a highly exaggerated way so that they can be put to rest forever! Again, this is just one of the many ways to Alchemy, not the only one, but certainly one of the quickest ones! There is a Daoist way and there is the Tantric Buddhist way - while the Daoist way is aimed at alchemy primarily, the Buddhist way is to seek and recognize the Pure Awareness which, when found, instantly connects one to the entire lineage of teachers who have passed down the instruction and attunement to this practice across the ages. It is like you are suddenly connected to thousands of watts of energy and you are zapped! That is the biggest gift of this practice. You will need at least a week to recover before you can resume daily life!

I was just reading the link you sent about the Rainbow Body. Fascinating!
Also, the benefits you gained after your retreats are considerable!! It makes one realize how burdened we are with all sorts of BS and how different we would be if we grew up and lived in a different kind of world. How much more we need to evolve… What are the limitations of our physicality… How it would be if we used easily and at will the “Other Mind” as R. Bandler calls it.
The closest I have been to something like this liberation you mention was during a magic mushroom experience in Mexico years ago, when everything lost importance … Very liberating!
Thanks for sharing all this information!

Oh I thought you went some where to do this haha
And yeah I know it’s not for that lol it just sucks I can’t play both sides of the fence some times and enjoy some of these spiritual practices with out sacrificing my physical ones lol
Like for example, id like to listen to devic intercessions and speak to beings from that realm but when I did a few months back I lost all appetite in my food and steak tasted like nothing to me and I had to force feed myself all day starting at breakfast haha

Did you try to change your diet? I say that because Devas are the guardians of nature, animals etc. Your eating steaks means eating beings they protect…So maybe connecting with them brought about a change in you and your tastes. I wonder how it would have been if you ate beans, nuts, fruit, bread, grains etc. during that period of time.
