Warning, this information is based on the material reality we all partake in whether we like it or not, and it is a point of overcoming and dealing with, guard against and sail forth in life. This is not a nihilistic view or tool. If you are misunderstanding or are sensitive about subjects such as trauma, suffering, deception, lies, manipulation, please do not read. These are short commentary and guidance notes based on information sourced (if you find this do not disclose it - this is powerful dangerous information).
My idea is that SS have the access to powerful information for their own promotion in life in status, financial power and relationships which may further our cause on this planet. Therefore you can learn to use this for your own good ethically.
Some cold truths about humans by certain lenses:
1. Every human is suffering and insecure. (Life happens oftentimes to be necessarily as so, for existence - denial of this is natural)
2. Every human is wearing a mask.
3. Every human is pretending not to wear a mask. (Know Thyself)
4. Every adult is a product of childhood punishment/suffering and reward. (+ ancestors and imprints - scripts of our species as a collective, evolution)
I know the above can be perceived as brutal and harsh, a lie or outright an attack. It is not. You are just like everyone else. Not important, not very valuable if you stay within this spectrum without conscious will and action: you will reside in - the lower existence.
You have to have a form of conscious transformation of the self, by living life and spiritual advancement.
Therefore socially and internally, there are born needs based on the above:
1. Significance 2. Approval 3. Acceptance 4. Intelligence 5. Pity 6. Strength
These above manifests in language, behavior, what clothes you wear, why and how you do things, everything. You can use this to spot personalities in your life.
Some few helpers to spot these needs:
1. Significance: Obvious wealth indicators or conveys wealth openly. Shows somehow that they contribute to a cause. Focus conversation of themselves. Showing cleavage/musculature. Status symbols - everything about brands. Wants to lead, first to make a decision.
2. Approval: Rigidness. Feels impostor syndrome. Derives strength from professional success. More formally dressed. Standing out to compensate. Competition participation, any of them. Less likely to complain. Less likely to argue. Self depreciating to favor another. Inclined to search for single romantic partners.
3. Acceptance: Prone to take membership of any type. Easily swayed - ideal cult members. Fitness groups, bike gangs, Facebook communities etc. Carriers that help others. Cooking healthcare - will change appearance to please the environment. Less likely to have unique or eccentric identity developed. Strong sense of community.
4. Intelligence: Breaks patterns and norms. Less effort in appearance than others. Over empathizes the intellectual aspect of stories. Asking if you know things they know you don't.
5. Pity: Unhealthy appearance. Hunched posture. Visible disapproval on face. Prone to bad health. Attraction of abusive partners and stay with them longer. Stressed appearance. broken heart tattoos - all kinds of tattoos because they have a "story". Prone to drug use or interest in this sphere.
6. Strength: Deliberate volume and loudness, shows musculature. Exaggerated posture, arm movement. Avoids most eye contact or makes aggressive sudden eye contact. Large aggressive dog owner. Creates chances to talk about overcoming obstacles. Overly concerned with status and social pecking orders. Aggressive behavior.

I've tried both ways (root lock first; also engaging both at the same time) and I do agree with Iyengar's method, as it seems to set the seal correctly.
*Light on Yoga; this book is easily found anywhere as it is very popular. I highly recommend it. (I have other books of his plus other resources and my own experiences that I use for these posts.)
