You mean vis a vis virility as a virtue?What role do your ideas about being a man, gender play in shaping how you channel all this energy?

I just meant sitting/standing, sitting in what position, what you do with your hands, etc.i dont have a technique. should i have a technique? what do you mean by technique? i go for a piss first so i dont get distracted, then i stare out the window. i used to stare at the wall but i cahnged it to out the window.
Yeah like there’s toxic masculinity and then there’s you. So you’re like therapeutic masculinity?You mean vis a vis virility as a virtue?
im not very good at sitting cross legged but it seems like the done thing so thats what i do and i rest my hands on my thighs. i try and look the part as best i can.I just meant sitting/standing, sitting in what position, what you do with your hands, etc.
I suspect much of it actually makes a physiological difference, just that these differences were understood in a more metaphysical light, millennia ago. I could be wrong though, they could have been more scientific than I'm assuming they were.
Actually I think I can answer this. It seems like most of my energy is directed at expanding my bandwidth of consciousness, being able to "see" and understand more of the universe in an effortlessly lucid fashion (as opposed to artificially bearing extensive conceptual frameworks in mind at all times, which is still a habit I'm moving out of).What role do your ideas about being a man, gender play in shaping how you channel all this energy?
outstanding postsomething that is worth thinking about is how a kind pop buddhism has become the de facto religion of the capitalist west and as such we inherit a whole range of assumptions, which we don't examine closely enough and one of those assumptions is that fantasy should be bansihed
I've always been against externalizing my frustration, taking it out on others, a sort of meekness maybe. The internalization I think can feed neurosis, but it also makes easier to be around generally (aside from how neurosis can make you aloof in some ways).Yeah like there’s toxic masculinity and then there’s you.

Personally I view all of the fancier stuff, apps and mantras as redundant. Close your eyes and breath really slowly into diaphragm, exhale slowly. Think about doing this right. Your mind wanders, come back to thinking about breathing.

Yeah my legs fall asleep when I'm sitting, even in easy pose. The actual foot-on-leg position, padmasana I think, just hurts too much, but maybe thats just because I don't stretch enough.im not very good at sitting cross legged but it seems like the done thing so thats what i do and i rest my hands on my thighs. i try and look the part as best i can.
Yeah I'd also say avoid the apps and gimmicks, unless you have a tough time getting in the habit of being still for a long time, in which case maybe the apps can be transitory.Personally I view all of the fancier stuff, apps and mantras as redundant.

if you don't do this once in a while luke will get bored and stop being you're mateI’d say everyone on this forum has they ‘you are a genius mate’ fantasy. For this reason I text luke the other day because I’m a good friend saying luke I think you are a genius (I do) and he said he cried after reading it because it was exactly what he needed in that moment
