@mecharc - oh okay. How does your meditation play out? You walk into the light and is there more visualization?
I Initially do a body scan with the ball of light. Then the ball gets out of my body and then exactly what you said! wow!!

@Lion I used to do that for anything that would make me anxious or nervous or bring out my insecurity. Now i switch on khan ST1 and and visualise of the external phenomena that is making me feel negative!

@mecharc - there should be a meme that says âtotal breakdown is my meditationâ. But then, in a large way, subliminals are our meditations now.

I was never a friend of the NoFap approach but i understand why some people are into that. But here is a little help maybe to see the whole thing from another perspective.
Researchers from Harvard University have released the results of the study, in the scientific journal, European Urology, which suggests that men who ejaculate at least 21 times a month can reduce their chance of developing prostate cancer by up to a third.
Prostate cancer is a serious issue. Worldwide, around 1.1 Million Men are diagnosed with the condition every year.
More than 300,000 men will die of prostate cancer this year alone. The risk increases dramatically in men over the age of 65, with more than 85% of cases being diagnosed in men of pensionable age.
By the way i am into medicine since 20 years with my own office every week there is a new hype around diet food nutrition and so on. OMAD another form of intermittent fasting is not healthy in the long run. There are hints that it leads to an eating disorder. Another study with rats showed this:
Intermittent fasting for three months decreases pancreatic islet mass and increases insulin resistance in Wistar rats
https://www.endocrine-abstracts.org/ea/0056/ea0056p519
After any diet mostly all of the patients will get back to their original weight or more.
I prefer the set point theory because i see it everyday in my office.
For sure its fine to eat good food and drink clear water but beware of the gurus out there
claiming they have the key. And dont castigate yourself. Life should be fun and if you are out and there is this sweet girl who wants to go to the cafe with this nice ice creamâŚ
EAT IT!!! Enjoy it!
Sorry i couldnt resistâŚ
good luck!

@FireDragon - thanks for the expert advice. I feel that a more easier way of explaining NoFap is that it is similar to the process alcohol addicts use to control their alcohol intake. That is they take responsibility for it and also quit (sometimes cold turkey and sometimes in a way that decreases the intake over time).
Just like that, people who are more prone to porn and masturbation to an excess, practice abstinence in order to regain control of themselves (interestingly, I have no fascination at all with alcohol or cigarettes. I can drink alcohol anytime and not feel like I need more than a glass. Not the same for fapping though. Just goes to show that everyone has their own personal challenges).
In my personal experience, NoFap does work. Things I have experienced doing it are:
-More energy
-More confidence
-Stronger eye contact especially with women
-More drive
-Harder erections
-More testosterone
-Deeper voice
-Being more attractive to others
-increased creativity
There are more benefits but these are the ones I have experienced along with many others who will vouch for them.
Now it could all be a placebo effect but it is too real for me to not continue.
Regarding OMAD, itâs like @TarMac has mentioned. One Meal A Day is actually a normal diet that has been encoded in our DNA from ancient times where we hunt for food in the day and eat in the evening. It personally works for me for weight loss and reducing inflammation (my legs swelll easily when I put on weight. Add to that a blood clotting issue in my lower limbs and OMAD helps me drastically change my swollen legs into thinner healthier ones).
So looking at all the benefits both NoFap and OMAD has given me, I would like to continue them.
Having said that, I am not anti-sex or anti-feasting or anything like that. I am the type who loves sex but would like to do it with a rotation of women (which I will do so after I solve my wealth issues. Am not bad on the Seduction front but my finance is in shambles). And I donât mind eating a bit more once in a while. For example, have one more meal in one day if there is a celebration.
Thanks for the discussion.

What do you think of spartan so far?

@rising - I love Spartan. It has made my Khan ST1 and ST2 easier by helping with my mindset. I feel more mentally strong with Spartan.

@rising - I was doing Khan ST1 +Regeneration + Ultimate Artist for a while when I realized that I wasnât getting anything out of running UA in this stack. Doing Khan Total Breakdown wasnât adding up well with Ultimate Artist for me (am guessing cause breakdown was affecting my creativity too). So I removed UA.
But one night I simply added Spartan to ST1 and Regeneration to get the health benefits of Spartan and I wok feeling great the next day.

@rising - so far it has been Khan + Regeneration + Spartan (all once one after the other). A few days back I added Godlike Masculinity.
I made slight modifications yesterday night though but that I will lay out in todayâs journal after a couple of hours.
PS: have used both masked and ultrasonic. Ultrasonic using Bluetooth speakers and below - 20db. Both have the same effect for me.
@rising - and regarding time, I just play it in the night while sleeping so I donât count the loops. So far I have done 31 days of Khan ST1 and 6 days of ST2. Regeneration I played since the beginning (so around 37 days). And Spartan I added around 2 weeks back (around 14 days).
Thats what counts. Wish you all the best for your way.

@Lion how has godlike masculinity been in terms of productivity? Do you feel any noticible changes which you didnât feel before it with your previous stack?

@Sarshet - right now productivity isnât that high although am slowly getting the feeling to drop wasting time watching YouTube videos after adding Godlike Masculinity. I had already left social media before starting any of the subs here but after starting Khan, there is no desire to go back to that.
Right now, my experience is that I am feeling stronger mentally. Even more than having just added Spartan to Khan. My NoFap and OMAD was perfect today. And also I am less reactive to people around me since I added GM.
Regarding productivity again, since I am in Khan ST2, it might take time to be productive since ST2 is Total Reprogramming and it might be ST3 Total Action that will bring out the productive side of me. But I feel that I might be taking action sooner than expected thanks to Godlike Masculinity and if that happens, I will surely tag you and let you know.

Day 7 Khan ST2 + Ultimate Artist + Spartan + Godlike Masculinity
So a couple of changes in my stack. First of all, I removed Regeneration from it. I feel that it combined with Khan ST1 Total Breakdown has done enough healing on me. And although I continued Regeneration for 6 days with ST2, I felt it was time to drop it.
Another reason for stopping Regeneration is to give space to Ultimate Artist. Those who followed this journal from the beginning will know that I had UA in my stack since ST1 but removed it since there was no sense of creativity or effect of UA when I was doing Khan ST1 Total Breakdown. So am test running UA with ST2 to see if it works and might drop it if it doesnât. Am sure UA will be perfect with Khan ST3 Total Action but I added UA with ST2 right now just to see if something comes up before the expected due time.
Have also switched back to Ultrasonics yesterday. For me, both masked and ultrasonics are the same in terms of effects and my dreams were vivid as usual. But the best part about ultrasonics is that I donât need to plug my ears up and I can be relatively comfortable when I sleep at night. Also it is easier to continue playing it in my room in the morning which I will do from tomorrow onwards.
My current stack is:
Khan ST2 x 2
Spartan x 1
Ultimate Artist x 2
Godlike Masculinity x 1
