Your missing your confidence. 

Confidence begins with Intent. 
Champions don't go into a game feeling insecure about their game. 
They go into it KNOWING they're going to win.  That's what separates a champion from everyone else.

You can watch all the motivational speeches you want and think as positively as you want... but unless you KNOW it, it's wasted time.
There's a difference in ACTING strong and BEING strong.

As I said... ask within for the 'why'.  Nobody here is going to be able to solve this for you... and it's CERTAINLY nothing to do with magical, mystical chakras.  YOU are the author of your own life, YOU need to figure out why you've written your confidence out of it.

Hello,

so I'm trying to open my chakras as I feel quite disturbed and stressed.

What made you think that this disturbed and stressed feeling you're having is the result of inactive chakras?

Like, how am I supposed to even know is my chakra closed or not?

Now THAT is probably the more important question for you to ask...

If you don't "feel" quite right, then honestly ask yourself (a lot of people really enjoy lying to themselves) what is wrong. 
You don't need to worry about your chakras.  You already know what's wrong... you just have to admit it to yourself first.

Oh.. GOD .. this forum is sooo broken. I CANT POST WITHOUT 99% OF THE TIMES.. JUST GETTING SERVER ERROR...

Unfortunately, I don't think there isn't much that can be done... I think the problem is on your end. 

What you need to do is learn to trace your route... then talk to your ISP.  Somewhere along that route you're getting blocked.

Xanth I can see someone that has a low stress job just standing around all day or working on a machine. But as a Occupational Therapist I can interact with clients, meaning be social, and get creative on what the client needs. So IMO there is a big difference between a low stress job where you are standing around all day pulling levelers or whatever versus a low stress job where your helping people get better, being social, and coming up with creative ideas to help your clients.

One can "be social" in just about any job.  Remember, your job is simply what you do to earn money so you can survive.  I've always said my life begins at 5pm. 

I know a few nurses, dated one at one point.  Nasty stories.  LOL
In Toronto, most hospitals are understaffed. 

If you don't mind me asking Xanth what kind of job/career did you decide to take up that you didn't like?

I went to school originally for Programming, mostly because at the time I ENJOYED it.
However, after I went through a few years of it... school utterly destroyed my love of programming.  I used to make applications and games for my own enjoyment.  It took me a good 6 - 8 years after college in order to get back into the paces of even wanting to consider to enjoy programming again.  LoL
From time to time I dabble in it again.

I accidentally fell into the field of office administration... and I've been doing that ever since. 
I've worked in the car wash industry, interior design industry, and now I'm working in the film industry.
My current job is probably more stressful than the other industries I've worked in, but as I said, the people here make it all worthwhile. 

My first Canada day as a citizen.

\o/ welcome aboard! 

I'd celebrate more... but I'm actually working today.  I'm taking my Canada Day tomorrow, and then a vacation day Friday.  Extra long weekend for me!   BBQ this weekend!   
Looking forward to that. 

I was going to go to college to become a nurse but after seeing that this career has a lot of stress I decided to instead go with Occupational Therapy. And I can start making good money right out of getting an associates. So that is what I am doing.

It sounds like you made the choice based upon the path of least resistance... honestly, I did the same thing back in college... and I'll tell you this: I completely and 100% regret it.
Which of those paths do you figure would have given you the greatest satisfaction in the long term?

A big happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians of the forum! 

doesn't matter what they thought they still ended up not doing what they wanted to do. I appreciate you have the whole 'the grass is always greener' attitude but sometimes you gotta be realistic and its not always as good as you want it to be.

It has nothing to do with attitude... well, okay, it does... but it has more to do with your perspective.

Think less with your Brain and more with your Heart.  

As I said before...
I have a job.  It can be SUPER boring at times... and the rest of the time it's meh.  BUT... that's not the fun part of my job.  The fun part of my job actually has absolutely nothing to do WITH my job.  The fun part of my job is everyone else around me.  They make my job fun and interesting.  

From the muffins we get baked in our kitchen every few days... to the lady who sits behind me crazily and randomly singing "JESUS IS A FRIEND OF MINE!"... It's never a dull day where I work.  

I COULD just look at the boring part of my "administration"-type job and think... "wow, my job sucks...", but there's so much more to life than just that.  The interactions with those around us *IS* the point.

My point I SHOULD have made before isn't really that you're over-thinking things... you're just thinking with the wrong part of yourself. 

uh yeh rite dude lol you see how many college and uni graduates have tried following paths doing jobs they want to do and finding the markets in those jobs to be over saturated and find themselves unemployed for years or doing jobs that are totally different from what they set out to do? anyway lets leave that discussion for another forum.

I was looking for a little meta-phyiscal information really not all this 'follow your dreams' lame garbage that everyone seems to say these days without realizing the harsh reality. I don't expect the astral to give me the key to finding the perfect job and perfect method getting there but I was hoping it could at least be used to guide one roughly in the right direction rather than one pursuing something that ends up useless (an over saturated or grossly underpaid market).

You're over-thinking things... kind of what all those unemployed college and university graduates did. 

ok I'll assume the answer is a straight forward 'No'. I really wasn't looking for pep talks from everyone. Just forget it.

That's just it... we're not saying "no".  We're saying "ehhhhhhh maybe". 

You can do anything you want in relation to the non-physical.  That's true.
BUT we're saying that you don't need the non-physical in order to make a decision.
Find something you ENJOY doing, then work towards it.

For example, I enjoy teaching people to project, but I can't really make a living doing that, so I do other things as main source of income... and I do this teaching thing on the side as what I enjoy doing. 

Just find something you want to do, then try to move towards trying to create a career in it.

It depends on how large a change one wants to make. To make changes on an individual level, one doesn't need superpowers. But to make changes on a higher level, one does need superpowers, especially if the change has to have some significance. On an individual level, everybody makes changes all the time, so it doesn't last long. If one wants to become a kind of legend, then superpowers are needed.

Knock yourself out.  People learn best from failure anyway... well, the smart people do at least. 

Lumaza is 100% correct.

You just have to find the focus which works best for you. 

There are THOUSANDS of "techniques" out there for you to try... except, they're really not all that different from one another.
They each do the exact same thing, they just do it using a different focus.  So, that's what you need to find out... which of those focuses works best for you.

Once you figure out what Focus works best for you, you can then create your own technique uniquely suited for YOU.

Give that a read.  I explain the concept a bit more there. 

Hi

Well, when i use the f10 tapes, or when i try to meditate listening binaural beats, or simply when i lying in bed sometimes i feel the f10 sensation. I read and they're the usual sensations. I feel that i'm floating in the darkness. Sometimes i don't feel the body at all, sometimes i feel it.

Sometimes i can't reach this state.

Focus 12.. i can't reach it i can't say how is it  . But i think is the next state to phase and do an OBE.

Now re-read what you just said...

"i feel the f10 sensation"
"they're the usual sensations"
"i'm floating in the darkness"

As much as we humans enjoy trying to describe experiences personal to us, we have a distinct disadvantage because our physical reality language simply can't describe a non-physical experience... ESPECIALLY when it falls far outside the realm of what we consider to be "physical reality".

If you're truly experiencing the sensation of "floating in the darkness"... I'd say you've either experienced Focus 12, or are on the very cusp/edge of it.

I meditate for 20 minutes every morning and 9 times out of 10 I'll slip into what *I* would call Focus 12 after about 10 minutes of sitting there.
Focus 10 to me is simply a point of complete relaxation.  I'm staring out into the darkness in front of me... and that's it.  I'm relaxed, calm, centered and staring into the blackness.
Focus 12, for me, hits the moment that blackness starts changing.  Generally how *I* experience it is a shifting in patterns of the blackness with what seems like white fog moving around the blackness.  It brings it (as generic as this sounds) a sense of depth... but along with it comes an extreme deepening of the relaxation I was experiencing in Focus 10.  It's a sense of going deeper within the blackness.

That is how *I* experience the difference between Focus 10 and Focus 12.  I'm not sure how much that'll help you... but I think you've already experienced Focus 12, you're just don't know you have because you have nothing to compare it against.

I don't know why is easy to me to achieve focus 10 but i can't reach f12..

I think it may be that in the day i'm tired and when i try to do the exercises i can't stop my inner dialog. When i try to do the focus i can't stop talking to myself, and, because of that, i can't phase into the non physical.

Perhaps, besides doing the focus exercises i should practice meditation, maybe that should be useful to train my concentration to do the focus.

PD: I used to practice in the bed, now im practicing in a sofa. (to don't fall asleep so easily)

Sory for my english

Greetings!

Let's start with how you're defining F10 and F12 for yourself.

You say you can easily hit Focus 10.  So let's just move onto Focus 12 for now... what are you expecting the difference between Focus 10 and 12 is? 

You give me what you think the difference for yourself will be... and I'll tell you after how *I* perceive the difference, because in the end, everyone can perceive it differently. 

Then just go out and do good.  You don't need super powers to make the world a better place.

Treat everyone with Love and Compassion.  THAT is saving the world.

Whatever you do, nothing will happen unless you make it happen.  You have to actually get out there and do something yourself to change your reality.

I don't think you need to contact anything non-physically to know what you want to do with your life.  Most people try to do what they think they will enjoy doing... but, fact of the matter is, most people don't end up doing that.

Just remember that the point of life isn't what you work towards doing... I'm not saying you can't REALLY ENJOY whatever job you have, but it's not the point of life.  The point of life is interaction with your fellow consciousnesses here.  Learning to interact with those consciousnesses with Love.  THAT is the point.

This reality improves each time one person learns this lesson and incorporates it into their own consciousness.

So whatever you decide to do, do it FOR Love and do it OUT OF Love.  At least try. 

Who is this... Frank... you speak of? 

Sounds like a good tv show or movie.

I did see that but it was only 465 bytes, so I thought it couldn't possibly the correct file.

But maybe it is, I think I remember reading that this L3 file is only the light portion for the Laxman system?

It's the right one.  They're small files with just the data to run the lights and sound. 

To make a long story short.  I've been away from the site mostly going on about 10 years.  I had originally signed up for Frank Kepple's class when he went missing. 

Welcome back. 

I tried to read all of his posts (which weren't organized back then, thanks for whoever organized them!) and do this on my own.  I came close a few times but every single time I knew it was about to happen I would get excited and say "....here we go".  At which point the whole thing would fade away.....

You're welcome. 

I can't wait to try the Laxman.  Hopefully it will get me to that point much quicker where I can practice the other techniques and finally get my first AP!

That's my plan anyway.

It looks like I have a lot of catching up to do and hopefully I'll be sharing some success stories.   

I've only used the Kasina (a different light and sound machine) and I love it. 

I'm sure you're not as far behind as you think you are. 

It's the right one.  They're small files with just the data to run the lights and sound.  

Can someone send me the L3 Laxman file?

I plan on ordering the Laxman very soon.   

Thanks.

Scroll up a bit. 

Sadly, you're looking at a hit/miss thing... it COULD have been "Ren", but it could have been just about anything else as well.

Could be anything from Chinese to... perhaps you were thinking about Ren and Stimpy one Sunday afternoon.  Who knows.

would you say then that this intent is the same as say walking?as I find doing that natural and effortless.
Thanks

"Walking" is the result of you placing your Intent.
There is Intent behind your walking.

Does that help?
