>How long was it until you saw results?
well, ideally my path will have been longer than anons reading this these days, because a lot of the things I teach on the fundamentals are things I had to troubleshoot myself
you can only read so much, the rest is in the doing, so I try to give others the benefit of my troubleshooting efforts
I spent about a year in troubleshooting and training my body before I really understood how to make things work
but there's also the energy built up during training, this helps drive longer breaths
once I understood, it took me a further 3 months to experience the spark of spiritual light arising
I almost wrote make it arise, but that is just wrong, one does not make such a thing arise
one can only arrange the conditions for its arising, the better one does this, the more likely it is to happen
I experienced things like the acceleration of metabolism about 2/3rds of the way to this with breaths averaging 45-50 seconds
but as this is also a matter of conditioning, I have conditioned myself, wrecked it, conditioned again, many, many times
so for me now this acceleration and the energetically potent stillness arise at 30-35 seconds
at my best I achieved minute and a half, its like a sparkly glowy energy healing bath every night when you sit there for 2 hours in this state and dont really experience the passage of time, just sitting for a moment
this is where cultivating the ability to keep the attention shines
for as soon as your attention falters, so does the spark
I could see such a thing being halo worthy if extended far enough, but of course I live in stupid society and stresses detract from my practices, so at some point shit like that becomes a thing and you understand why monks go innawoods
