I really enjoy hot weather and feeling the radiance of sun rays on my skin. I realize how harmful tanning can be, and how rapidly it can age you, but it’s like a drug.

I’m also a career painter, so working outside is mandatory, especially on clear days. I wear an spf shirt and a hat to cover, but I feel like I’m missing out.

Sometimes, longevity feels like a burden and I’m missing out on crucial parts of the human experience—the goal is to live forever, but am I living at all?

Hey all,

I'm very new to Kundalini and am looking to learn more about it. I have heard of things like Chakras and have a basic understanding of the popular notion of it, but I wonder if there's anything that most people get wrong about Kundalini.

Growing in life is a challenge, and there are some things that intricate personal development. That said, it is possible to create a more linear path.

In this world, it is hard to pursue that which is beneficial, but has an uncomfortable process. Unfortunately, most benefits happen to be at the end of a challenging road. If we spend too much time residing within a "safe space," we will never venture outwards onto the rough path.

The more time we spend within our comfort zone, the more narrow it becomes. We begin to notice aspects of it which no longer comfort us. In order to expand our comfort zone, we must exit it, and practice doing things that scare us or are challenging.

It's easier said than done, but if you're looking for ways to do it, I would suggest leaving your comfort zone every day, at least once. For example, I did not want to work out this morning--I woke up groggy and thought "man, I really don't want to do this." I mean, it felt like working out was the worst possible thing that could happen to me in the moment. But you know what? I decided to do a couple of pull ups, and those pull-ups turned into a full back workout.

Sometimes the rough path is not as unwalkable as we believe it to be.
