Wise words, you and luis. This sounds like they are on the way to a seizure, which in this case is defence mechanism to prevent self-combustion. Not what a meditator is supposed to feel at all. It is the path to illness, not to empowerment.
Grounding like you have been suggested (hatha yoga, alternate nostril breathing) and reducing workload would bring things back to health over time. You will advance faster with patience. Your fire seems out of control. I would suggest breathing in akasha, if you weren't a beginner. Those other practices will sort you out quite well at your level (and at any level, might I add).
You know what i also notice is that im in a meditating type state almost all the time and its aggravating as fuck its like i cannot stop thinking for shit and when i do my mind goed in protective mode again and i start tryinb to protect myself does anybody think that smokinb cigarette is part of it too cuz i smoke a lot
Stop smoking. It clouds your mind and judgement, other than creating a host of physical impairments:
:arrow: mouth cancer
:arrow: throat cancer
:arrow: nose cancer
:arrow: lung cancer
:arrow: dependency
:arrow: teeth discolouring
:arrow: fingers discolouring (and smelling)
:arrow: pineal gland damage
You are drying your lungs needlessly. Your lungs need to be
Not to mention spiritual impairments:
:arrow: much dirtier aura
:arrow: much dirtier chakra
:arrow: pineal gland damage
:arrow: anahata chakra damage
:arrow: vishuddha chakra damage
:arrow: intelligence drops
Why do you smoke? What feeling do you get from smoking? Try to reflect on your smoking habit:
1. Feelings- What do you think and feel before, during and after smoking?
2. Evaluation- What is good and bad about the experience?
3. Analysis- What sense can you make of the situation?
4. Conclusion- What else could you instead?
5. Action plan- If the 'need' arises again, what would you do?
This is based on Gibb's Reflective Cycle. You can use it to gain awareness of your dependency and decide a course of action to rectify yourself.
Notice: You cannot rise to any high level of advancement if you smoke, drink alcohol or use other recreational drugs. This is true also of mental advancement and bodily advancement. Ultimately, it's your choice. Have your priorities clear.
