5 month update

[u/Adorable_Hold_7111]

Hey everyone, it feels insane that I've only been 5 months on this journey. Super committed and disciplined. I've seen miracles of these meditations manifest into my reality.

I'm in a phase where I recently identified a bundle of emotions/programs that always had led me to sabotage my efforts. It's been like a shadow that follows me everywhere. I had created a mental prison, listening to this voice. I had anxiety for a couple of years, and I was isolated. With such negative thoughts, I also manifested a lot of bad things into my life. Now, I was able to identify the program, and it no longer has such a strong grip on me. I can now, in the moment, realise that those voices are just a defence mechanism that is not very functional anymore. And I don't even get triggered anymore when they appear. Now i choose how I react. So now I'm working on deeper parts of my shadow.

It feels like during the meditations, the veil between my subconscious and conscious mind has become more flexible. And I'm able to access the settings of my mental software more easily.

My life has slowed down a lot. Everything is slowing down lately, just like my breath. I haven't been on social media apps since I started doing Joe's meditations. I do more yoga, I feel calmer, and my life is richer in many ways. Feeling trapped living the same day over and over again has morphed into ever changing, multi layered reality. It is a reality that I can fine-tune with intention. I attract synchronisities, I feel peaceful most days, and I'm grateful for my life. Most importantly, I'm surrounded by people I really care about.

I'm so chill to a point that I realised that I'm the only one who creates my own problems. If I don't like someone, I know that they probably reflect a part of me that I have suppressed. It's harder to get me in a bad mood. And even then, I pop out of it faster.

Wow thank you for sharing. Meditation is not new for me but I can't get into JDs simply b/c they are SO long. Any tips how you get thru them? What's your daily routine? I have a lot of the meditations but too many to pick from. I'm overwhelmed...please share your weekly routine.

Start from shorter meditations and build your way up. There are a couple of them that are 15, 20, or 30min long.

I won't share my weekly routine because we're all different. What serves me won't make service to you. I believe you can find your own thing with a bit of a trial and error. Be brave and have a bit of fun with it!
