Ultimate Reiki - Star Exercise Meditation

[Nice2knowU]

My 25+ day streak is no more… Is my excuse that i had been playing with my nephew all day long enough to merit me not starting over?

[Bronyraur]

I’m not _OM but I’m afraid it isn’t… :*

A while ago, I’ve dived again into the 22-week Star Exercise “adventure” along with other meditations. I’ve had to restart from scratch 5 times, mercilessly. Despite having “good” excuses for skipping the program at times. “Good” excuses = the “gentler” shapes and sizes of the ego. That dude is a real master at sidetracking… It does that with very “comfy” ways. Like “rhoooo my pal… what’s the big deal if you lose 1 day? Don’t you deserve some rest and have ‘a life’ after all?” (insert wink)

Perso, I acknowledge the dude but… I haven’t said my last word yet lol.

_OM would explain much better than me.

The entire initial plan was negotiated in advance…
Any deviation from the plan nullifies the schedule.

It makes a lot of sense, and it has to do with discipline, and internal preparation, and experience, and planning your life.

If you are serious about this exercise, zero out the schedule. Be honest :)
It’s not the end of the world. It’s an added experience :)

So I’m currently on the 22-week program as well. There’s one day where I can’t for the life of me remember whether I did the evening session or not. It’s possible I did but I reset the counter just to be on the safe side.

Well…one piece of advice I can give is to start having freezing cold showers…twice a day, right before the star exercise. Give that ego bastard some yang treatment and all of a sudden, maintaining the discipline of doing a simple 2 minute breathing exercise twice a day will start to look a lot simpler.

Bro I was on the 22 week exercise and when I got done with my homework & spiritual practice, I jumped straight to bed and forgot to do the exercise

Pro-tip: write it on a schedule and be strict about it so you don’t forget. You won’t remember from memory alone. Gotta write it down.

This also helps give me discipline and mental fortitude. Would definitely recommend it to anyone else

Similar situation here Ego-amnesia. Yes, really… that dude is good at its job.

@lol

Gotta write it down.

Absolutely…

@Dewbob

freezing cold showers

When I finish the program, I’ll even jump in a bathtub filled with ice. Or better: do it outdoors. Otherwise, I can already picture myself in some idiotic poses like “wooohooo, I’ve finished the program, so proud!! ” which can lead to additional issues :)))

“TL;DR”:

@_OM

If you miss a single day, you have to restart your count at day 0 and begin again… assuming you are serious about being a super-saiyan.
Why?
Certain things are built up over time that require steadfast consistency, discipline, and perseverance.

@_OM

Tell yourself that you will spend just 1 min in the activity of difficulty. That’s it.
The natural goal setting/finishing ego mechanisms will kick in during that 1 min and one will find themselves working on that thing for quite a while.
In the rare case it doesn’t, No harm done.
You did your 1 minute on the thing. Move on and try again the next time for 5 mins.

Since I don’t have car to go on ah wood ,where I live is pure metro city ,can I do this exercise before sleep in my room with all my windows open ?

[yamilcore07]

I’ve been doing the exercise for 5 days
The first few days I didn’t feel much for the part that you got to hold your breath and feel the energy, except my arms really hurt.
But today as I was doing the first part, I felt lines of electronic shock running through my arms, my chest, my stomach. They appeared, they disappeared then reappeared really quick, and they were cold as electronic shock in ice water if that makes sense. And I can really feel the universal life energy build up in the Solar Plexus chakras in part 2. Even now sitting here and writing this, I can still feel the energy flow in the arms and in the chakra.
Some effects I’ve noticed since started doing the exercise:

• Denser stomach and arm muscles
• Eat less
• Sleep less
• Sore neck muscles. At first, I couldn’t link the sore neck with the exercise. But later on, I noticed that as I breathed quickly and intensely, my neck shrank and expanded with the same speed that worked the muscles. Maybe it’ll pass after a few days.

For now, I enjoy doing the exercise and just keep it simple as “just do it 2 times a day”. Hope with that strategy I can make it to week 22
Thanks @_OM for such a simple, not-require-much yet really powerful exercise. I’m excited to discover what it will bring as time goes by

hi guys ,

1. Can we do this 3 ~ 4 times a day?

@_OM

While you see & feel the energy entering your Solar Plexus and building there, also see & feel the energy distribute from your Solar Plexus, throughout your whole being. At the same time, visualize the energy flowing into your left hand, through you, and out of your right hand.

when visualizing this , eyes need to be closed ,or opened or does not matter?

thanks

[lol]

It does not matter, but I would think most people would visualize better with their eyes closed

For me personally, the exercise is more effective with my eyes open (do as you feel comfortable).
I don’t get hung up on visualization. It’s not important for me.
The exercise is first of all a work with feelings, sensations.
You have to feel this universal energy, enjoy it.
feel this enormous flow coming into the solar plexus, feel this expansion.

over time you can go into a state of relaxation - relaxation physical, mental and emotional.
concentrating only on the flow coming into you.
Whether or not visualization is involved is not so important, I think.

By the way, Om, I found this exercise as interpreted by Zhivorad Slavinsky. He came to my region in 2007, and I found a video recording.
He had it in a slightly extreme version (20 minutes), in group form.

But the results were phenomenal (spoon bending, etc.).

I will not post this tape here, because there will be fans of extreme :))

When I do this exercise, I always mentally thank you for discovering it for me

[_OM]

Heh … then he’s left out certain parts of his background from his books/stories…but would make more sense as to why I resonate with his techniques.

Thank you for telling me this story. Interesting indeed!

The session tonight was phenomenal
As I started to breathe more quickly, my legs were vibrating like CRAZY crazy.
This time I felt like I draw energy more from the Earth rather than the air. I actually felt like a tree, my legs were tightened to the floor and the blood veins were vibrating and sucking energy from the Earth like actual tree roots. As I moved into phase 2, the vibrating subsided.
I’m doing all the sessions on a 7th-floor cuz I’d get embarrassed if someone sees me doing this . I’m excited to see what the experience will be like when I do this barefoot on the actual Earth ground
