I had a meditation teacher who I thought was a lesbian because she emanated masc vibes but was actually married to a guy. Simply put, feminine energy is attracted to leadership. It doesn't have to be "status".

Status doesn't have to mean social status or wealth in a corporate America way. It could pertain to being a top yoga teacher, a really talented musician or someone running a conscious business.

When you mix orange and green. Reusable straws in plastic packaging. This would be less of a problem if people bought this and then never bought a reusable straw again, but that won't happen. Most of these will end up in the trash in a year lol.

Welcome to the spiritual path. My advice is to stick with it. It may seem at times like your whole world has turned upside down and you may question why you got involved in the first place, but it can be a very rich and fulfilling journey.

I used to think life becomes easy once you start living your dreams. But now I can hardly handle the fact that I'm actually doing it. Life can be so rich. Don't waste anymore time.

Be kind to yourself and don't give up

How fucking cool. Congrats on making the necessary changes

Exactly. Just take it with a grain of salt. What it means for you may shift and change and you don't want to make it into a rule.

@ertopolice thanks for the update! It's good you're out there doing things and learning from them. My main tip for you is not to worry about being too flirtatious. As long as it's coming from a genuine place, allow your heart, rather than head, to lead.

This kind of thing may not point to anything specific and is possibly just a symptom of being highly sensitive or having spiritual gifts. I don't have this specifically but do have some other weird things of that nature. Have tried figuring out if it means anything and still haven't landed on it being profound or anything. Although it is fucking weird! Explore what it means for you, that's the only way to learn about it.

Most of the men on this forum probably don't have a problem with consent. I've slept with plenty of men on the first, second or third date and have never felt pressured. That woman likely is not very developed. Her lack of boundaries is her responsibility. If she was repeatedly denying her boyfriend sex then yes, things will get ugly. If he's constantly trying to bang her that's a problem too but that's a less common situation. Obviously there is a line where the pushing becomes unhealthy, but in most relationships when women deny their boyfriends sex there is something deeper going on and it doesn't have to do with "consent". In terms of dating, a lot of women (girls) are simply inexperienced.

Like as a hard rule? Do they not enjoy sex if they don't cum? Multiple men I've slept with seemed fine and even didn't want to so now I'm questioning their fine-ness.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this it can be quite concerning. Sometimes, just sitting in stillness with the numbness can bring up emotions. It may be that you are too scared to feel the depth of your pain so take it easy.

The overprotective feeling you have is trying to protect you and your pup. Be grateful for it. Fear also exists as a protection method. A gratitude practice may help. Like sending energetic thanks to your neighbor and the universe that everything turned out ok. And when you're frustrated that you're being so overprotective say thank you to your fear because it is just trying to help. Sometimes practicing being ok with the unknown can help as well but it is a practice and takes time ❤

Take the pressure off a bit. Climax doesn't need to happen for sex to be enjoyable. 4 months is not a long time in a relationship especially when it comes to breaking through traumas so relax a little and please him in other ways

For example, when going through a difficult time you say something like: "I need to meditate more" rather than going into the problem and actually figuring it out. Spiritual bypassing is another name.

The psychedelic itself doesn't enlighten you, that's the whole point. It's a tool. Comparing meditation masters to shamans seems off to me. They're totally different.

Notice little things they say and find out more details about it. Like if they talk about going to the beach ask them what beach. If they talk about their annoying sister ask them if the sister is older or younger. If they say they need to get a new phone ask them when the last time they replaced it was.

@impulse9 is shamanism concerned with traditional enlightenment?

Inorganic meaning...its not you? That's not a principle in shamanism.

Just go and figure it out when you're there. You'll be in a different state of mind and will approach it if it arises for you. Btw that sounds fucking awesome. Enjoy.

Lay out a yoga mat or blanket and sit on the ground. Turn on some music, maybe light a candle or some incense. Then start to notice what your body wants to do. Maybe it wants to shake, to stretch, move up and down, sing, stomp on the ground. Child's pose and neck circles help with the neck as well. Do this for about 15 minutes, just noticing how your body wants to move. Get weird! It's a great release.

I don't know if this is accurate to say or not but I think of meditation as having the integration already "built in" where as with a dmt experience you go further but have to integrate later.

Didn't smoke enough
