So I meditate a lot, mostly to get past the sense that I am the centre of my conciousness and "transcend the ego", but there is of course tons of benefits. Sometimes I also have experiences very similar to what you get from psychedelic drugs, which is pretty cool, but I would still meditate even if this didn't happen. =)

I've heard that yoga can offer similar things, and many of my friends have recommended yoga to me, but when I look up techniques and classes it seems they're tuned for the physical benefits more so than mental benefits.

Can anyone recommend techniques for a fellow traveller? x)

look up kundalini. i've read them talk about their brains 'popping' when they awaken their spirit energy. something about third eyes that sounds a bit too mystical for me but that's probably what you're after

post back here if you find anything good

I can recommend finding a proper book. There's loads of yoga courses and books created by fitness-ladies made for fitness-ladies. The key is to look trough them and find a proper book written by an skilled yogi. If you're scandinavian i can recommend Swami Janakananda "Yoga, Tantra og Meditation i min hverdag". There has to be some classic yoga litterature written in english language as well.

is tantra and meditation stuff on topic for this board?

i don't want to shit the place up too much but it's pretty interesting what the brain and body can do that's not really well documented by western science.
it's hard to find good sources since i only speak english though

cool, thanks anon. bretty awesome chart.

my initial interest comes from hearing that the chakras correspond to the hormonal glands which control your endocrine system. and i know a lot of what we think of as brain functionality is actually down to the nervous system. there's a lot about both which isn't well understood yet

hello newfriend. maybe if you work on balancing your chakras a bit you'll find it helps to cure your raging yogigotry
