If you want to get better at manifestation, you have to incorporate shadow work into your set of tools. Introspection is absolutely necessary for growth (realization of all parts of the self). When you know yourself, it's easier to shift limiting beliefs and fall on-line with your true desires and true self.

You can have anything, be anything, and do anything, but you have work to do. You have to drag yourself through the mud of your own soul. You have to face your demons. Learn to embrace *all* of your emotions, they're a language telling you things about *you*.

Happy manifesting, anons.

Sorry had to bump last second on page 10.
How often and for how long should I do those? According to some article from APYsite, one should do spinal breathing pranayama like 15 minutes before each meditation, made it sound like it was just some form of preparatory practice. Is that correct? Can I sit and do it for 45 minutes or more?


Would you have any good resources on this?
And would you mind me asking you about the kinds of successes you've seen using this approach? I've never tried shadow work myself except letting repressed and very uncomfortable sensations/memories wash over me while in meditation.

Once you've been meditating for a certain amount of time, and you feel ready to add something new, Pranayama is what's recommended to add onto your meditation practice. 
I wouldn't call it preparatory. Actually, on the APYsite, he gave the example that while meditation could be thought as a hose cleaning the mind. Yes, the hose will do it's job, but if we really want to get anywhere then we'll need to turn on the huge pressure hose to get the job done.
APY is actually a fantastic site to get info from. I'd recommend getting their Advanced Yoga Practices. You can find it on libgen.
