I practice Qigong and Qi self massage. I use acupressure tools as well. really like the acupressure products from the company called Aku… and I teach/ practice Holden Qigong. White Tiger Qigong has courses on fascia and Qi.

Stop smoking weed if they do

Move on… part of this is a number game. combine direct experience, theory and self reflection. expect hurt and rejection and just keeping going… it is t really ever personal. Keep gaining experience meet in person.

Hmm, the treasure you seek lay in the cave you fear most. Consider talk/ cognitive behavioural therapy… Three great books are 1. Daring To Trust 2. When The Past Is Present 3. How to be an adult in love all by David Richo I also recommend a book called the Tao of Fully Feeling… can’t remember the name of the author but it’s one of the most important books for people pursuing spirituality in the west. it clears up a lot of the nonsense that you should “just be zen and happy” which makes sense when you read these four books in combination as to how ego, transference and trauma work.

I read that too lol circle ⭕️ I mean, there is a belief that you have about the quality of beliefs so, maybes that is a meta point or something

It’s probably the case that deep spiritual work requires a toolbox ?

Observe and contemplate it in real time

Met a girl on facebook dating - She actually looked better in person. I think we had a lot of fun... She was chinese and there was a bit of a language barrier. Things seemed to be going well but when I got back from the bathroom she had her jacket on, said her phone battery was dying and took off... I took that as her not enjoying it and wanting to leave. Which was fine. Maybe it was because I showed her Qigong. I have a feeling a lot of women will not like that I do that for a living ahaha. People will think it's weird. Anyway, I feel pretty hurt. I don't think she was really my type exactly, but I definitly felt attracted to her. I have suffered from oneitus in the past. The heart hurts... I unmatched her on the app as a defence mechanism and I will simply use it as an experience. There are more women out there. I will keep meeting people, and actually do some in person pickup in the future. Yes, rejection sucks. But, It's how we get strong, and it through rejection we eventually get results.

Have you tried it? There are chemical and physical differences in these two… one is second hand (listening to a guru) the other is a direct experience …

@Lyubov totally agree. I’m am working on just feeling, and observing my cognitive behaviour. im looking forward to the next one. im just gonna be myself for the most part… take me or leave me.

@Nahm I think that’s exactly it Nahm ol’ boy. I think this is why I need more experience. thank you

@mandyjw lol you are to me

No dude. I mean, I tell them I do Qigong and they think it’s weird. it’s not everyone, but probably the majority as it’s not as well known as yoga. i don’t identify in any particular way… I’m pointing toward life style and interests… also.. if your inherently spiritual… what you said makes no sense. It’s like saying people are ‘already enlightened’ which is just bullshit. I really don’t need you telling me how to be spiritual. Teaching me how spiritual you are not. Anyway, the point is I’m in need or more experience to develop more healthy mental models of my situation.

@integral yeah a lot actually im pretty bubbly in person

@happyhappy ego backlash… sometimes I get nervous about what we talk about here. At this point I’ve learned enough about ego that I’m allowed to say one thing and then change my mind… I’m not nice .

@mandyjw true but… still… it’s gonna take time to meet people. im not looking for my soul mate tonight lol and most girls where I live don’t like spirituality

Man, am I ever working through these fucking fairy tales

@Chakra Lion Yes, this is true. Working through some ego backlash from last night. I don’t know enough of these women and simply need to get experience.

@Hulk Some form of logical reasoning is important for survival, making decisions, etc and I also think reason is important when it comes to spirituality and spirituality for reason.... They are both connected obviously and they aren't as dualistic as it seems on the surface. However these words "Reason" or "Spirituality" are both deep nebulous things that you will need to explore through your own experience and contemplation for years to come. If you are doing Accounting, use reason and logic with some level of emotional intelligence if you are doing therapy or leading a Qigong class, use your spiritual and emotional development.

Very interesting. Looking to start doing pickup in the next 12 months once I set up my new place and my online Qigong teaching... I think that we will all have fears and limiting beliefs to work through... the shit my mind has made up for why I am unlovable or unable to attract a partner has been one of my biggest challenges this year. I was picking up other peoples mistakes and shit and feeling them as my own. I just need more experience.

Lol, depends on your spirituality. You might weird a lot of basic girls out..

Gonna ride the sting and the limiting thoughts… I’d like to be in a relationship.. truth sags atm
