Two speakers explore how meditation and silence might develop intuitive abilities, drawing on yoga nidra, Kriya yoga, and retreat experiences. They warn that shamanic or psychedelic work without proper grounding can lead to encounters with powerful entities you can't control.
What psychic powers have you studied and tried to do?
I try to get into a calm state and tap into feelings and sometimes that will manifest as knowing something.
You just said. I meditate, I relax and I tune into my feelings like a yoga nidra.
Like, are you just laying there? I've tried different modalities, so I've worked with like Kriya yoga. I've done silent meditation retreats. Being in that silence, I feel like things just happen. Even if you don't know the specific techniques, you just start tuning in and flowing. And the other part of it for me is the more I've learned, the more that I feel like the universe is ultimately benevolent at the highest level. And we this in near death experiences, people talk about this love they feel. I think there's a reality to that that they can't even describe with words. But I do know our world and it's not all benevolent. And there are dark forces. So if and when I dive into that stuff, I'd want to do it very carefully because we're sending the mind to different places. And in the psychedelic realm and in other shamanic realms, people encounter beings.
You can get absolutely taken over and trashed if you don't know what you're doing in the shamanic stuff.
Yeah.
