Hey guys. This has to be said. I’ve been meditating consistently for about two years now… and the transformation has been ridiculous. Just ask my wife 🙊 I’m not exaggerating. I want to briefly talk about the art of being joyful — not occasionally — but consistently. Because yes… I really believe we are here to wake up. We are souls experiencing contrast. Formerly simple and ignorant souls learning through experience, integrating knowledge, relinquishing karmic attachments, growing through friction. It takes wisdom. It takes experience. It takes humility. But joy is not accidental. It is cultivated. --- --- THE THREE STEPS TO REAL JOY ✨ If we truly want to be joyful, we must integrate three things — in order. 1. Awareness 2. Wisdom 3. Meditation You can’t skip steps. --- --- 1. AWARENESS — 👁️ --- First, you must look within. Basic self-awareness. What patterns are causing your suffering? What triggers keep repeating? Where are you running? If you are avoiding your inner world, I hate to say it… but you will never be truly happy. Joy requires honesty. It requires looking at the shadow without flinching. Awareness is the doorway. --- --- 2. WISDOM — 📖 --- Secondly, you must know where to look. Wisdom is essential. There are incredible spiritual teachers who have walked before us. Why suffer more than you have to? Learn from experience — yours and others’. What I’ve learned on this journey is that we’re running the race together. I’m running a race to help you. You’re running a race to help me. Seek wisdom. Be inquisitive. Map your inner world. Wisdom gives direction to awareness. --- --- 3. MEDITATION — 🧘‍♂️ --- Meditate on Divine qualities and transform your mind. No joke. Every single moment of your life becomes a decision. Will you focus on the sacred qualities? Love. Light. Wisdom. Joy. Peace. Power. Calmness. Sacred Sound. These Divine qualities are not abstract concepts. They are energies. Meditation begins on the cushion.

Most people live and die in the same narrow bandwidth of awareness. Wake up. React. Work. Scroll. Sleep. Repeat. But across history — from the desert fathers to the yogis of the Himalayas — human beings have testified to something more. Moments where perception expands. Where fear dissolves. Where love becomes overwhelming. Where the sense of “me” softens into something vast and sacred. These are altered states of consciousness. And they are not spiritual fluff. They are the bridge between mundane living and sacred awareness. They are the threshold where we stop surviving and start seeing. And if we are serious about meeting our Maker… about finding lasting peace… about becoming truly compassionate instead of performative… then we must learn how to enter these states intentionally. Because when perception changes, the heart changes. When the heart changes, behavior changes. When behavior changes, the world changes. And that matters. --- WHAT DOES RESEARCH SAY? 🔬 Modern neuroscience confirms what mystics have always said: consciousness is not static. Studies on meditation, prayer, breathwork, fasting, chanting, and even psychedelic research show measurable shifts in brain activity during altered states. Research shows: • Decreased activity in the Default Mode Network (the brain region associated with ego narrative and self-referential thinking). • Increased coherence between brain regions. • Heightened gamma activity in advanced meditators. • Greater emotional regulation and long-term well-being. When the ego quiets, something else becomes perceptible. Participants in mystical-state research consistently report: • A sense of unity • Timelessness • Deep peace • Sacredness • Compassion • Loss of fear of death These experiences are not random hallucinations. They follow predictable neurological patterns. And more importantly, they produce long-term behavioral transformation. People become less selfish. Less anxious. More loving. That’s not superstition. That’s data.

Hey guys, I just wanted to reach out and give you guys some stake as to what exactly I'm doing here. What kind of events would you guys like? If I could do one thing for free weekly, perhaps for everybody, what would you like? Thanks! Steven, A.D.🐉

Hi everyone, here is a little intro video for exercise one of the 21-day protocol. Again, It is in the classroom. Second tab down, anyone can get started anytime. I'm here if you have any questions.

A lot of people underestimate what 21 days of consistent nervous-system training can do — not in a mystical sense, but in a very real, measurable way. When you commit to 21 minutes a day, focused on breath, somatic awareness, and gentle meditation, you’re giving your brain and nervous system something they rarely get: regular coherence. Here’s why that matters. --- 🫁 The Structure (Simple but Precise) Each day is built around three 7-minute practices: • Coherent breathing – slowing and harmonizing the breath • Box breathing – structured nervous system regulation • Buteyko-style reduced breathing – retraining CO₂ tolerance and calming overbreathing The box breathing gently progresses: Week 1: 4-4-4-4 Week 2: 6-6-6-6 Week 3: 8-8-8-8 This progression matters. You’re not forcing adaptation — you’re allowing it. Add to this: mindful breath awareness somatic sensing (feeling the body, not escaping it) calming meditation music a consistent 21-minute container And you get something very powerful. --- 🧠 What Changes in 21 Days (Realistic Outcomes) Neurologically & physiologically, people often experience: Improved vagal tone and parasympathetic activation Reduced baseline anxiety and reactivity Better stress recovery after emotional triggers More stable heart-rate variability patterns Improved sleep onset and depth Psychologically, the shift is just as important: Less mental noise and rumination Greater emotional regulation A stronger sense of grounding and safety in the body Improved focus without force A growing ability to pause instead of react This isn’t about becoming “blissed out.” It’s about becoming regulated, coherent, and present. --- 🌱 Why 21 Days Works Twenty-one days is long enough for: habit loops to form the nervous system to expect regulation the breath to stop feeling “manual” awareness to move from effort to familiarity But it’s short enough that: people don’t burn out the commitment feels achievable progress is noticeable and motivating
