    Personal Rules to Avoid Losing Your Wealth

    I found this video relevant to the discussion here. He talks about some of the points made above and is similar to my thought process as well. View: https://youtu.be/a_8jOkj-9bg Despite the title, he's not talking about the slowlane lol. Other than that, my rules are basically this - 1)...

    60 Days of 60 Minutes of Meditation - Let's Not Do Anything Together

    GOLD! HOT! MINDSET 
    Yeah, all the time. TBH, this was one of my biggest issues when learning how to meditate. I was getting a lot of creative ideas and insights during meditation and didn't know what to do - following them felt "right", but then you aren't really "meditating". I then read in a Zen book that this is...

    How many of you guys pay virtually nothing in taxes due to write offs?

    HOT! TAXES | REGS 
    To be fair, the b&o rate for most common business types (digital, retail, manufacturing) is around 0.48%. The 3.3% mentioned above is only for waste disposal (Business & occupation tax classifications | Washington Department of Revenue). Still, the fact that its on gross is not great. Also, they...

    How many of you guys pay virtually nothing in taxes due to write offs?

    HOT! TAXES | REGS 
    I would think it should be fine in this case, since they said they are a real estate professional and the main activity of the business is real estate. I'm guessing the scorp owns all the properties so this would be a business expense and reduce the distribution to the owners (hence their tax...

    This will only work if you get enough sleep. Otherwise you'll be up for a few minutes and then fall asleep during meditation as soon as you get a bit relaxed. Try 30 minutes of strong/power yoga before meditation and you should be good to go. This will help your sleep as well and put all that...

    Yeah, good point. "Spirituality" can easily be confused with religion and will probably invite these types of convos. "Mindfulness" in the modern era though is specifically devoid of religion so I don't think people would confuse it with religious aspects (but honestly idk). In its essence its...

    Great summary. This reminded me of the famous Viktor Frankl quote: “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” That space of course IS mindfulness! ( and it gets larger the more you...

    Yeah, I did a meditation course last year and they said never use a timer / alarm etc mainly for this reason. You could be in a deep state and the sound will shock you (even if its a soft gong), and sometimes you want to continue for a bit more and this will interrupt the session. Best thing to...

    What's your motivation to do things if you don't need to make money.

    NOTABLE! HOT! MINDSET 
    Another way to look at this is to flip the equation, one way goes like this - achieve something first, be happy second. The opposite would be - be happy first, achieve something second. In the first case, you'll have a never ending quest of trying to get somewhere and never be satisfied; but in...

    You can try counting instead. Its easier than breath and helps strengthen the center of consciousness. "one" on inhale, "two" on exhale, up to 10, then reset. If you lose count or go over, start again. Once you can hold this for a few minutes without losing count, focusing on breath becomes much...

    The Surrender Experiment: My Journey into Life's Perfection - by Michael A. Singer

    Yeah, I think he mentioned this in one of his talks somewhere. "Universe" / "Life" can also be thought of as "intuition", which gets stronger the more the consciousness expands. I'm guessing he said it like this as most people would confuse intuition with the heart/mind and mess it up. He did a...

    @MTF - I just remembered there's this meditation technique which might help with your winter woes (since you mentioned its related to your body and not the mind). It's called 'yoga nidra' (i.e yoga sleep) - basically its a guided meditation which puts your body in deep rest while the mind is...

    If you are having trouble getting started, try this technique I posted about in this thread. That's how I got started as well and helps get the mind to deal with the concept better. You can sprinkle it throughout the day as well or whenever you want. TLDR: watch this link. It only takes a...

    I don't know much about lux but yeah, the table in the books seem to be corelating to what you said, probably worse in your area: "1,000 lux Overcast day; 10,000 to 25,000 lux Full daylight (not direct sun); 32,000 to 100,000 lux Direct sunlight". Since you mentioned this, thought I'd offer...
