Welcome to the Fire Kasina General!>What is it?Fire Kasina is an ancient Theravada Buddhist concentration meditation (one of the 10 kasina practices) where you gaze softly at a candle flame (or similar light source) to generate a bright afterimage/nimitta, then focus on that mental sign with eyes closed. Cycling back to the flame as needed, to rapidly build deep samādhi, access jhāna states, vivid visuals, and profound mystical experiences.>How to do it?1. Sit in a dim/dark room. Place a steady candle flame (or phone LED / small lamp) ~ 1-2 m in front, slightly below eye level.2. Gaze softly at the flame for 30-90 seconds (minimal blinking, relaxed eyes - no strain).3. Close eyes gently. Focus exclusively on the afterimage / mental sign that appears (bright spot, red/golden dot, colors, flame shape, murk, patterns - whatever shows up).4. Hold steady, gentle attention on it. If it fades, drifts, warps, or vanishes notice calmly, reopen eyes, gaze at flame again briefly, then close and repeat.>Why do it?Builds one-pointed concentration stabilizes the nimitta leads to vivid inner light, geometric patterns, dissolution of ordinary perception, rapture, bliss, and potentially full jhāna states.It's one of the fastest and most visual ways to strengthen samādhi, with immediate feedback from the afterimage. Practice daily in short sessions; longer retreats produce profound visionary and non-dual experiences.Share your progress and experiences here.
>>41821973It's way too late tonight to share much. Maybe tomorrow if this thread is still here. Fire kasina practice leads the mind down a fruitful path, and I highly recommend it.
>>41822092Yeah, it's quiet here since not many know this actually works yet.

>>41822302no nigger, im just not drug-idolizing, orientalist retard. Do some drugs, hang around buddhist, maybe you'll realize neither are special in terms of the insight they provide, but at least you might not sound like such a starry-eyed kid who would suck back-alley dick for a tab of acid. Who am I kidding though, you will probably move on to espousing Sufism as "the intellectual, mystical Islam, not like the BAD KIND" like most of your kind seem to do lately. Your thread isn't dead because of the time of the day or whatever, it's dead because it's low effort slop, it introduces terminology that the average x user is unfamiiar with without explaining it, and the premise of it is laughable to anyone experienced in the subject matter. But why am I even taking the time to tell you this, you're just one of the overconfident idiots that swarm x recently. In one ear, out the other, and you trot on off to continue making the world a worse place
