You guys are coping😂

😅chairs are to sitting what donuts are to eating.

Culture has been crippling our physical coherence since kindergarten by sitting us on chairs all day. It’s pure crap & makes us so weak we can’t even imagine basic human functioning anymore. Sitting on the floor is better for your health in every conceivable way if you can stomach the fact it’s going to take literal years to fix the damage caused by decades of conformity. This goes way beyond yoga or meditation practice. It’s your entire life. I agree that lotus is not good. Sitting cross legged doesn’t mean lotus or even half lotus. Your legs shouldn’t be on top of each other.

Where do you get brain? I never seen this at any market. Do you order it?

The only reason it hurts when cross legged is that you never do it. People even loose basic functions like squatting by not doing them. From thousands of hours doing chair & floor, there’s 0% chance I go back to chair. Leo is not a model of physical coherence and he is wrong about this one. Chairs make your hips weaker & when you get weak enough you think it’s the only option. Chairs is conformist non sense. Not the other way around. Meditating on it doesn’t make it original lol. Low stool where you can assume a kinda of squat but seated is also leagues above chairs.

Chair sitting is ass. The floor is better.

I eat similar to this. Love the fermented stuff like kimchi, miso, yogurt, etc.

I like odd numbers. The measure resolves on a different foot every time the breath changes direction, it’s quite soothing. It makes sense to me to try to equalize both sides. 5 for low intensity & 3 for more involved pace. 7 is quite mechanically beautiful even though it’s too slow to really get any cardio work.

Psychedelics is a domain of mastery. A noob can’t just put on skis and go down double diamonds all day long without hurting themselves but an experienced skier can flow down all of them easily every day no problem. Probably shouldn’t push psychs that far but the dynamic is there. Experience with something makes more of it available to you. I had this experience with music too. A noob physically & mentally can’t play 4 to 8 hours a day but pros do it all the time

Oh yeah, life is a sine wave. Sound, your spine, tripping & much more!

Don’t you love art?

Sorry I meant gait* It’s basically coordination of the movement patterns involved in running. It’s how you hold your glutes, hip flexors, abs & so on. It’s the angle of your tibia relative to your foot & a jaw dropping amount of other considerations. It’s even the shoulders because they are general expressions of the spinal wave that moves your forward. The only reliable way I found to improve it is to pay more attention & use more intuition but there are general principles to keep in mind. The biggest probably being the bilateral nature of humans. Weight transfer & mastery over where you place your centre of mass is a huge part of my conception of gait.

Oh & breath of course. The relationship between breath count & step count is like a dial for intensity.

Drawing sin waves on the pavement with my trajectory, jumping over obstacles, moving through weird terrain & doing some sprints intermittently while running are ways I keep engaging with & enjoying running. Pay attention to gate. There’s no end to how in tune your gate can be. It’s def not just about cardio in my experience.

You need more consciousness of what is actually going on when running. Podcasts & even music pulls you away from your own rhythm. Running is highly musical to begin with. Running with headphones is like listening to 2 songs at once. Are you going to appreciate either? Probably not.

If he doesn’t ever change would you be able to tolerate him? People can change but that’s not your responsibility. Of course we only have your perspective here so it’s hard to even know what is going on with you guys. Therapist will be more impartial than you or us. We can only construct our responses to your interpretation of the situation, which is surely not the full picture. We all try to be right & be the virtuous one in arguments even when we are totally delusional. How might you be doing this? I am not saying you are, it might turn out that it’s mostly his drama & problems spilling out, which have nothing to do with you & you should just run but it’s hard to know without having his perspective. He does sound like a juvenile boy from your writing. Are you correct tho? Who knows. Maybe you should breakup, or not.

That’s good advice, motivation is fleeting.

Accept your feelings. The only compulsion is to avoid feeling.

I got the same advice from my martial arts teacher. I am not particularly hungry when I wake up from that scenario so I don’t eat. It works for me at the moment. Usually just have small snacks in the day & then eat a big meal when I get back home.

Where do you meet people? Night clubs don’t attract the most integrated people.

You sound comically closed minded & projecting it on this forum to convince yourself.

You don’t sound like it solved anything for you.

Every skin issue I’ve ver had was self inflicted through eating wrong. Fasting makes my skin silky smooth. Do people experience acne while fasted? It seems impossible from my pov. I assume some genetics are at a disadvantage but is it a situation where we hit our head against a wall, then wonder why it hurts, then gobble expensive pills while continuing to beat our head against a wall? I know a lot of victims in my life that would throw rocks at me for this but most of their problems are also self inflicted.

Every mushroom is a rare and unique snowflake just like you! For real I’m pretty vanilla with my psychedelics. Gorgeous vanilla. They are mush easier to put my hands on also. No shady business. But I get the appeal. I’d like to try 5-Meo at some. Probably also vanilla to some of you guys.

Thank God Trump probably can’t understand any of it lol. Carney is being quite blunt here. It grabbed me when he said that we need to stop pretending & name reality while reaching out to middle nations.
