*,The flatline/paws aren’t a test sur Reddit

Hello I want to share with u guys what I did to beat the flatline/paws (was in for around 5-6 years) and what exactly is going on as to why you aren’t experiencing the benefits anymore or why not as strong anymore. I want to leave this message for the future for those unfortunate souls who find themselves in the situation I was once in and are searching for answers. Where you need SR to work because it eliminated the extreme social anxiety you had, but cause you in the flatline/paws, SR no longer works.

This subreddit is ignorant on the matter and the general advice of “keep retaining, eventually the benefits come back and stronger” didn’t work for me despite going for a year of strict mental and physical celibacy and after that all streaks were mostly 2 months and above with a relapse or two in between for about 5 years. Theres a guy on here by the name of “experimental” something, and he’s been in the flatline for 5 years or something now, WITH NO PMO! You can’t possibly say that he’s still “healing” and if he just retains longer, it’ll be ok. That’s messed up.

Around Nov-December 2023 I did all the things to help me out of the flatline/paws once I learned/understood my situation and I cured myself (mostly). I now experience the benefits again, the same way I used too before I entered the flatline. It was gradual, the benefits didn’t come back straight up, it came back slowly, the energy, magnetism, waking up easily etc. In the 5 years I did things like diet, work out, meditate, bought a dumb phone (lasted 6 months without Internet), transmutate what little energy I felt and I feel these didn’t work otherwise I would have experienced the sr benefits sooner.

It’s extremely frustrating that this sub is still ignorant about flatlines/paws, (whatever word you wanna use) because I could have saved around 5 years of my life and not have gone through a dark point in my life (where I almost killed myself) had you guys actually given me the knowledge I know now but couldn’t cause u didn’t know (ignorant). SR being SR, a already aburd idea to the masses, who else could we turn to if not u guys?

Ok so what’s going on with you is, you have trauma/blockages that is preventing the SR energy from circulating in your body. And trauma is not really as you understand it. What trauma really is, is supressed negative emotions. When you experience a negative emotion and do not express it, release it, you think it just disappears? No. It gets stored in your nervous system. The body carries it until you address it mentally and physically. Let’s say someone at work pissed you off and you wanted to give him a piece of your mind, but you couldn’t cause obviously you can’t cause a scene at work, so instead you supress your anger, hide it, and don’t talk to nobody or express the anger later on at home through some form of workout or talking to someone. You successfully created what I call micro trauma. If you continue to suppress your negative emotions, it builds up overtime till eventually your body becomes “stuck”, and energy can’t flow. Cause you have so much blockages/trauma in your nervous system. This is how illness starts and manifest since the energy, isn’t flowing properly in your body or flowing at all. In my case it manifested as tight pelvic muscles, because one of my trauma was shame from pornography and failing at quitting and I supressed the feelings. The feelings hit me especially at night when I had relapsed that day and realized I may never be free of porn. I felt anger, despair, frustration, I wanted to scream and cry but I couldn’t cause I shared the room with siblings at that time, so I held it in even though I was boiling. This blockage was the main blockage/trauma and I completely healed myself from this and no longer feel any tight muscles in my pelvic. Shame, anger, guilt, jealousy, fear, etc, all these emotions can cause trauma IF YOU SUPPRESS THEM and not express them.

What do these two situations have in common, you’re in a big traumatic situation, vs your co-worker is pissing you off badly. Both of them induce fight or flight reactions. However one is just bigger than the other. In the big traumatic situation most likely rather than fight or run, you shut down because it is overwhelming, creating trauma/blockages in your nervous system. You were meant to do either fight or run because fight or flight is a build up of energy to use for survival. But cause you did neither and shut down the energy got stuck/trapped in your body along with the memory of the traumatic event. In the co worker situation, your ready to verbally say something back (fight) or to just leave the situation (flight) but instead of expressing your true feelings (fight or flight) you just hold it in, this is similar to shutting down with the big trauma only you volunterily suppressed yourself. In one you are super charged up with energy to run or fight and the other is smaller energy but still charged up energy. Make sense? To get trauma you just need to suppress your feelings rather than express.

Every adult has degrees of trauma, I firmly believe this cause as adults we care a lot about what others think of us and we can’t express our true negative emotions in some or most situations, depends on you. This, I think, is why some guys who enter the flatline can get out of it after a few weeks or months if they persevere in retaining, because their traumas/blockages weren’t that severe. The energy from SR was able to power through them. Although not without reexperiencing
the emotions/trauma you bottled up. This is also why some of the guys on here don’t experience certain benefits or experience the benefits as strongly as others, cause their trauma/blockages is just big enough that only a certain degree of energy can flow through depending on the blockage.

Now I’ll share with you guys all the things I did that got me out of being “stuck”

First and foremost, I made the conviction that I would heal myself once I understood what my situation was and how to get out of it. If you have no conviction, don’t even bother.

TRE, Trauma Release Exercise. r/longtermtre TRE was what help me to understand wtf was going on with me and a exercise I can do at home to release trauma. Basically the exercise is to get your body to “shake”. You shake but you consciously not doing it, your body is. This shaking, shakes off the trauma that’s stored in you. At the moment you where experiencing the traumatic event your body shakes. This shaking from what I understand is energy that is building up so you can run or fight, but as adults we supress that (the shaking), worse we don’t run or fight. So the shaking is like doing what your body wanted to do the many times you were in fight or flight moments but didn’t, so that it can finally release the enrgy you have been holding on too without knowing it consciously. Anytime I overdid it, and released too much trauma, I fell ill. Something that is warned about, don’t do too much or your nervous system won’t be able to handle it. Like a soda can that was shaken too much, u got to open the can little by little. I started with 15 min 5 days a week and added 5 min each week (sometimes 10min) and was only able to reach 1 hour and 45 min. So eventually it was 1 hour 45 min a day, 5 days a week. Couldn’t go anymore than that otherwise I would feel strange awful side effects that would last a few weeks.

Skateboarding. Before I entered the 5 year flatline/paws, skateboarding was one of my ways of releasing stress and expressing myself aside from PMO (I just didn’t know it). I was always skateboarding even after work. However I stopped skating altogether because my job at that time required I work from 9 to 7-8 instead of an 8 hour shift and I would come home tired and irritated. Also because I made such a stupid decision that I won’t show myself too the “world” until I reach 90 days or something on retention to show everyone “the new me” (so cringe). So I stopped skating and isolated myself, only going out for my job. Had I not stopped I’m very sure I never would have build up trauma. I started picking up skateboarding around 6 months ago and man I wish I had done it sooner and sticked to (bad weather here though) it because I noticed after a intense skating session I would feel more confident less socially anxious, and just overall better for that day. In order to get the release of trauma/blockages, when skateboarding I needed to meet these requirements, I must skate to the point I was gasping for air. When I attempted a trick and failed I quickly went for it again, even if I fell that’s how I exhausted myself. Having fun doing it (another requirement) or thinking of a trauma (suppress emotion) and channel that frustration energy into skateboarding. Having fun seems to release more because I noticed my muscles in my pelvic floor would twitch and did what felt like the muscles were unknotting itself a lot anytime I got lost in the moment and forgot about all my problems, and in case I haven’t mentioned it, that’s where my main trauma was stored. Last requirement was focus/conviction. I skated with a decision that I would land “xyz” trick by today and I sticked to it with conviction. It was scary at first because I still had anxiety around that time but skating hard and with conviction helped somewhat stop the fear of people staring at me (at the skatepark). These were the requirements I needed to notice a change in my attitude and knot release. Also cause mostly my lower body from lower stomach all the way to calves were knotted up, after a skate session I felt it more tense and painful, especially in my right inner thigh and pelvic muscles. I remember after like the first year of flatline/paws I attempted skating again but because I felt these flareups of my muscles being tense and extremely uncomfortable it scared me that I’d just make it worse (the tightness) so I gave up on skating, plus the social anxiety made me too self conscious. But now I know it’s only temporary, yes it’ll get knotted up worse than normal (if you have tensed muscles which are a result of trauma) but after the other muscles have recovered your knotted muscles become less tense than what it originally state was. And that will be the new normal. But you have to keep at it and overcome the fear. When I started again I had to build up to strengthening my leg so I couldn’t skate everyday and with my job and other trauma release exercises I was only able to do it every 2 days a week or sometimes had to skip a week. After that first intense session my legs were sore af for like a week and a half. But my legs got stronger and were able to recover faster after each intense session.

So find something that is similar to skating that meets, having fun and forgetting your problems, and makes your heart beat fast. However if u can, pick up skateboarding and learn flatground tricks and apply the above requirements. Start with learning how to ollie, do it over and over again until u land it.

Water fasting. This without a doubt works. When I first did water fasting I felt very fatigued, headache, and just not well. I was only able to last for up to 3 days cause I was in pain. However now I can go for 1 week and not feel the headace, with only some fatigue, and what’s crazy I feel better than normal even if I have some fatigue, like I can see/feel things as though I was on semen retention. Not to mention, fasting strengthen the benefits of SR too insane levels that I never combine the too cause I simply don’t feel ready for it. But going back, what my experience with fasting tell me is that you aren’t going to have a fun time if you have a lot of trauma when starting. Cause it’s going to be focused on removing all the junk inside u. So it works but man is it rough in the beginning. But after enough trauma/junk has been released u will start to experience the benefit others talk about with fasting. Feel lighter, grounded, see things (mentally) more clearly. Back when I first started I always thought people were making up the benefits since I was in pain. Now I know better, it’s cause the body is going through healing and the beginning of it will always be hard. Also after a while of practicing fasting, u won’t need to add the electrolytes to your water. Adding electrolytes seriously helps to remove the fatigue and nasty headache you’ll get in the beginning when fasting. I mostly fasted (still do) 2 days a week. But when I started doing it more seriously around last year, every month I tried to go for as long as I can. Until I settled for 2 days a week.

Next is a exercise that can be explained in this link below the paragraph, so it won’t be necessary I explain. But it’s was important to me to do this exercise especially when I was suppressing a negative feeling that day from something that happened. Was always something from work. I did this and also combined it with either intense workout or skateboarding, was always workouts though. I wouldn’t say I dance but I simply stood up and thought of the situation that had me holding on to the negative emotion and I expressed myself this time and did/said what I wanted to as though I were really there reliving it. This exercise was important too me because it stopped any new trauma from being stored in me for long enough. Like skateboarding I always felt better afterwards and my body didn’t feel as tense (you really notice it). However unlike skateboarding it didn’t really lessen the social anxiety, so i find that interesting. I did this exercise pretty much everyday and tried to think of past suppress emotions. Can’t remember when I learned about his one and practicing it. If I had to guess, after 5 months of learning about my situation of what flatlines really are https://www.reddit.com/r/streamentry/s/XUTHSxYpLm

Chi Ne Tsang. You may be surprised to find you have knots in your stomach area. These knots are trauma, emotions you’re holding in. Chi Nei Tsang is a massage you do to release these knots. In case some of you haven’t gained this wisdom, your body is interconnected. You can’t tense an area of your muscles without it also affecting other muscle areas. I learned this through learning about “mewing” and how muscles affect the face. If the muscles in your jaw is chronically tense, it will affect your muscles all the way to your pelvic muscles because all the muscles are connected through other muscles. Why is this important to understand? Because by releasing the knots in your stomach area you’re helping release the other muscles connected to the ones that are knotting up, freeing up tension in the whole body altogether. When I first tried this exercise, and I was massaging an area of my stomach that had a knot, I felt soreness and pain in my lower back. Or in another area where I found a knot and massaged it, one of my legs (forgot which one) would start to twitch/spasm until I stopped massaging. This goes to show your entire muscular body is connected. I did this one everyday since it was super easy and quick (aside from pain). Now I no longer feel any knots but I’m still doing them in case there is knots but that is very subtle and I can’t detect it. This video explains how tro do the exercise. Also the video says smile when doing the exercise, I stuck to this too cause some part of me told me it was important but I don’t know why.

These are the exercises I mainly focused on. I did a few more but I was inconsistent with them because I was already doing a lot of things and had little energy or time. I still do them though just not as much as the ones mentioned above, maybe like once a week. But I will quickly mention them

Singing, tried to sing a song that resonated with me and made me want to express some frustration I was dealing with. Was hella awkward at first but now I’m probably the best singer in the world right now haha

Dancing. Dancing is a great way to express yourself and release trauma too. Probably best option for those who can’t skateboard. In terms of trauma release, we are looking for things

I did this exercise https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1pFM4yCJkk4AxeWD8w8BpXYZ_ubernJ9DIflQdA-xjrI/mobilebasic and it releases trauma with only your attention. However I often fell asleep doing this one so that’s why I was inconsistent with this one. I got it from this Reddit post. https://www.reddit.com/r/Spiritualchills/s/XmCMfAr8iH

So that’s pretty much it. I hope this helps someone who is in a similar situation to the one I was in and that not to despair, everything is going to be okay now. Just stay disciplined, persevere and believe your going to make it because u are.
