The Breath is the Gateway to the Subconscious
I was talking to my girlfriend the other day who often struggles to see through her minds games and is constantly caught up in emotional reactions, negative thoughts and limiting beliefs. And I said something to her - the breath is the only function of our body that is subconscious by default but can be taken over by the conscious mind. So the way to override the Subconscious is through this life giving function that lives in both the conscious and subconscious. Wondering what others are thinking about this concept? We have all heard of the breath as the key but I would love to hear more about this specific angle
What is your Daily Practice ?
Just curious what everyone has implemented as their daily practice. How are we breaking the chain of subconscious thought and behavior? For me I have been doing focused Breathwork each morning after a quick shower with a focus on gratitude. I stretch periodically through the day to loosen tension in my body, and when I cook i listen to anything that reaches to my spirit, often times being Rey. Any time I face doubt or anxiety I sit and return to deep Breathwork like I do every morning to return to that ever more familiar place. Allowing the emotions to exist but at the same time not letting them run circles in my mind by returning to a gounded state where the emotions can run their course and I can remain unattached.
Handling Lust Addiction
My current focus on my spiritual journey is becoming free of my lustful habits and addictions. It has proven to be hard to undo over a decade of sexual degeneracy in my mind. Who would have thought. I know I am making progress because usually when I try to quit it's like a pendulum where eventually I swing right back into the habit, and justify the habit as I could not handle both being addicted and being full of shame by knowing how wrong my actions were. But recently I have moved into a new space, free of shame and guilt, and full of awareness more and more. Where I am still sinning but instead of tearing myself down I am just watching how my actions are affecting my spirit. And I can feel myself becoming more and more convicted that this habit/addiction does not serve me. Every time I enter back into the habit I am one step closer to becoming free. Wondering what the others in the group have to say about their own journey. This has become the single most important part of my life!

@David Newman well first I think it's not so black and white. If entering back into the habit will not lead to freedom, but resistance and force will lead to pendulum swinging in opposite direction what I to do? I cannot resist and I can not let go. I think the answer is awareness which involves partaking and witnessing the results. But I would agree if I totally recognize it does not serve me, I wouldnt go back to it. But clearly some part of me still thinks I am getting something good from it. Why is it the most important thing in my life? Woukd you disagree the most important thing a heroin addict can do is stop using heroin? As long as and especially if it is through spiritual methods of clearing up karma? I have been watching porn for over a decade straight. It is the single most sinful thing do and the loss of my sexual energy directly contributes to my lack of spiritual growth hitherto. I am talking past tense and my identity is shifting to becoming free of all that but I am not speaking about my identity I am speaking about what has occured in the past
How to stop judging ?
I used to judge people, people who were narrow minded, eat meat, criminal, people who claim themselves to be higher than others. I used to have a feeling of petty for them. Slowly slowly I realized they have a softer side, that they are not my enemies until I make them in my head. That helped me to focus on what they need, and to not judge them as everyone is improving day by day. But now I am again stuck, People who claim themselves to be enlighted, I can't help myself but to put them on trial. I have this constant urge to prove them wrong. I don't know where this desire will lead me to, but I have not made peace with it yet. Can someone help me overcome it ?

We are consciousness trapped by the monster mind no? We want to be free. But the monster mind has all sorts of tricks to keep us stuck in ego. We know this and we focus on this in our own minds every day. However, we fai to see how this applies to other people. We often judge and say "why do they act like this" etc. But this is a clever trick of the monster mind. See the monster mind in some sense is a plane of energy just as much as it is an individual entity for each of us. So imagine - They are consciousness trapped just like you. But they are calcified in their identification with the monster mind. Hopelessly asleep. The only light they could find would be in you, who is not totally asleep. But the monster mind knows two things- first, that if it cannot convince them to have hate, anger, rudeness, sneering at you - that they may see the light in you and begin to awaken them. And second, that you, who is becoming free of the monster mind in you, can be hoodwinked by the monster mind in them. That if the manifestation of ego in them can poke at you (and it knows how, trust me) then it can also drag you down. The golden chains of righteousness. Instead of saying I am consciousness, and I am becoming free of the ego, but these people are making it difficult, or these people should be freeer that they are etc... Say, we are consciousness. And the ego plane has kept all of us trapped. And these incarnations around me are calcified in their hopelessness. But let me be a beacon of light for the consciousness in them. Let me be the light that shines on the darkness. I see the ego energy's in me that is also in them trying to keep us separate, but I know the love and awareness that is buried in them is desperately trying to become free. And so it is in me. All judgement is a trap of the ego, the devil, and I will not allow it in my life as I am a child of God most high and I will not fall to the traps of the ego. Something along those lines❤️❤️❤️

I just want to help people see the beauty I have been blessed with. Knowing all suffering is an illusion - It's hard to watch people suffer.
