If you could have one super power, what would it be?
For me it would be the ability to make myself want to do the things I really don't feel like doing (but need to). The ability to intentionally put myself in the state of flow, at any given moment, no matter the task.
The power to experientially realise at any given moment what I realised in my very first Yoppo session; That heaven exists, it is here, and we're in it all the time. It's just a matter of perception, not fluffy clouds in the sky.
@Paula Neves by doing the hard things that you do not want to do, it can maybe help you to put things into perspective. When we are going through hardship, doing almost anything else is bliss in comparison.
Is there a common theme around the things that you dislike doing @Paula Neves
@David Gill Have you found any techniques to help you to change your perception so that you are experiencing more of heaven?
@David simply observing the breath. When you observe the breath, you quiet your thoughts, and allow yourself to be a silent witness. I found meditation very easy in the confines of a near total silent retreat, with equally willing and motivated students, but on leaving the retreat and getting back to normal life I found it extremely difficult to meditate, and therefore maintain a meditation practice. Since that first Ayahuasca retreat my waking life has gradually felt a lot more awake, and meditation has become much easier.
So yeah I definitely agree with @Paula that meditation is a way to reach that state of awareness, it just takes a lot longer in my experience.

That is possible, through meditation, appreciation, living in bliss maybe?... and also psychedelics?...
Maybe both your answers can be related....
