Each of us somewhere knows that we become like the person we look up to. If that’s the case, I would rather look up only to somebody who has mastered life. Yet better, look up to somebody who has mastered death. Mastering death cannot come without mastering life. Our immortal yogis (besides some Taoist sages) are the best exemplars for having mastered death.
Their tricks that get them so many masteries are very ordinary. Most revolve around the elements of Earth, Air, Water, Fire and Space.
Each element stands for a certain Chakra. Each Chakra stands for certain strengths and limitations. To go beyond your limitations, work on the corresponding chakra. For example, fear is a third chakra issue whose element is fire. Doing some exercises with fire can resolve your unhealthy fears, once and for all, layer by layer. Guilt or shame is a second chakra issue whose element is water. Doing some exercises with water can relieve shame and guilt, once and for all, layer by layer. Makes so much sense to learn these simple tricks and enhance our life experience.
