Yes. The breath is just a bit ideal, because if you are experiencing, you are breathing. So no matter what occurs, there is the breath. But yes, all meditation (imo) - as they are other-than-sucked-into-thought-stories- presence / mindfulness. Meditative walking, only-eye-and-ears is great as well.

Seeking is conditional / thinking. Stopping seeking is a condition too, and so is that it leads somewhere, so is 2 days, and that there is something to report, and one to report to, and use of the reporting....and the measurement of 2 days being ‘enough’, lays the groundwork already, for a future contingency, another condition. Likewise, of course, one can not ‘come to’ enlightenment. How sneaky are we?

THIS ⬆️

That actual is a write off. ??

@peanutspathtotruth I think that adventure reveals some pretty great stuff about you, that you might be missing.

Understandable fears, and daily meditation combined with writing these things on a dry erase board, and going Sherlock Holmes on why & when you started believing those thoughts is very powerful. @Serotoninluv??

Another way to frame it is in paradigms: I don’t feel great, and it’s because of life & my circumstances, that’s why I have pos & neg thoughts. I want to feel better, and I’ll clean up my thoughts a bit more to the positive. I am feeling much better, and experiencing ‘awareness’ in my meditations. It feels good, and Trustworthy. I am noticing intuition, and it’s freaking awesome. I can move awareness & energy in my body. Why did I ever think so much? Holy shit I am the awareness, and I never actually needed to think, wtf? Ok...alright...I’m creating reality here, and the thoughts aligned with Being bring things I want, downright magically, unexplainably. There’s more going on in this moment right now than I ever would have imagined. I feel amazing. Other people should definitely know about this. Other people: “ya. That’s crazy”. (Judgement is of the neg thinking / blaming life / circumstances). @bejapuskas Make a dream board, choose thoughts aligned, inspect the root of those unaligned with what you want (on the dream board). Listen to sensation. (Don’t think about it)

@pluto ? yes please.

That’s the path. ?? Sounds perfect. Write that down on your dry erase board, and look at it, let it sink in...the simple wisdom at hand. You are saying there’s no issue with the inspection work, so there’s no justifying any resistance. (Op) Everything is perfect as it is, as from infinite certainty is the excitement of this uncertainty. It’s a gift really. It’s also perfect as it is, because it is you. Truly there is not you and a world. You get to live, and create, share, and enjoy - just for the experience, just for the love, unrestrained by implications of meaning, free of the clinging to perspectives. The one who knows the awe & laughter is coming like a newborn, and will more and more so. Like a baby, it’s beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful experience there is...also, huge, huge mess at first, and it’s all coming out wether you push or not, so, relax. Purification is the natural healing of the body & mind, and is the flow of the universe that creates and brings everything new. Let go! Drop expectations, of what you’ll do, become, know. Let it all go. Cultivate intention, of how you feel, of ‘plugging in’, and then going about this life stuff.

@Javfly33 Take just a minute, right now, and write down what you want, and tape it to the wall. Start talking about what you want, and doing things you enjoy. Do things for yourself that you like, that feel good to you. Doing things that feel better to you, causes you to feel better. Recognize, acknowledge, know that better feeling. Your perspective will begin to change, and you’ll want things that you aren’t aware of yet. Write em down. Tape em to the wall. You’ll notice interests which you aren’t aware of yet, check them out. Keep in mind, you’ll be feeling better for having done things that you like, and your perspective will naturally be better. You’ll notice thoughts arise about what you want, and thoughts arise about it’s absence. Choose the thoughts about what you want. You are getting more of whichever end of that duality you’re thinking about. What you want arises from within you. It also arises in the physical sense, from within you. If you ‘get stuck’ with choosing a better thought, just choose a little bit better feeling thought that is true for you. As you do more of what you enjoy, and choose better thoughts, you’ll continue feeling better, and your perspective will really open up. You’ll be wanting things you had no idea you’d want, and you’ll feel better than you ever have. Fun, and exciting. People, things, opportunities, will come about in accordance with what you want. Continue choosing thoughts about what you want when these present themselves. They are what you asked for, nothing more, nothing less. They will come in ordinary everyday appearances. Sensation is guidance. Listen to it. If it doesn’t feel good, go back to choosing thoughts about what you want. You’ll easily learn not to be stubborn, because you’ll be loving how you’re feeling when you listen and align with sensations, and choosing thoughts about what you want. It is literally the good feeling you are aligning with. This good feeling lifts you up to perspectives you’ve not yet seen. I’m sorry to be the one who is breaking this to you, but, that’s what you’ll need to do. Stuff you like, that feels good to you. (Sorry) What you want is going to come from what already is, so loosen up, relax, be flexible with things. Choose the thoughts about what you want, over thoughts about what already is, about what anybody else thinks. What is, is old news. What other people think, is what other people think. The Source of you already knows everything you’ve ever wanted in your entire life, and is always giving it to you. Same for them. Now that you’ve dialed up the emotional scale, you’ll start receiving it. You won’t be ‘getting in the way’. You’ll feel good, and you’ll allow it to come however it is, appreciating that it is coming, and feeling great, and appreciating this is the case for everyone else too. You’ll learn to ‘zoom in & zoom out’. If you get off track, if things seem intense, think more general and simple; puppies, blue skies, humor, the universe is loving me, anything will do which gets you feeling better, reconnected. Take a minute to notice, each day, your paper on the wall. Remember the bigger picture you are wanting. Allow the feeling good of knowing it is coming, recognize feeling good actually equals feeling good, and feeling good naturally brings things you want and elevates your perspective, which leads to discovering more that you want. At this point, you’re pretty dialed into some feelings that feel flat out exhilarating, unstoppable really, invincible. You’ll be used to connecting more often and more deeply with these great sensations, listening intently to the guidance with more sensitivity, appreciation, and gratitude for how great life feels. (Sorry again about that). You’re thinking about what you want, doing things you like, taking care of yourself, noticing some intriguing coincidences and profound opportunities coming around. This is what you want, coming to you, and you’re feeling so good, so deserving and worthy, so accepting, that you are willing to receive it. Which is great, because Source has been wanting you to have it. It becomes really clear that these sensations are your connection to Source, to The Universe, to Everything. And everything you want, comes from everything that already is. Like magic. As if it was made for this, as if you were designed for this experiencing. As if all the wants themselves came from everything that is already, the very same everything which everything you want is coming from. You will be astonished. Agape. You will be so mesmerized by Source’s love and generosity, and ease of alignment at this point, that you will tell others about this, and they will say you’re nuts, and that they would have to know details, and that there must be more to it. There isn’t though. There’s just choosing a better thought. You can do this, and you can only do this, now.

This practice can also help you take your thoughts less personally, and not automatically believe them. Additionally, this meditation can offer insight into any habitual patterns of thinking and related reactions. Observe your thoughts as they arise and pass away. · By “thoughts,” we mean self-talk and other verbal content, as well as images, memories, fantasies, and plans. Just thoughts may appear in awareness, or thoughts plus sensations, emotions, or desires. · Sit or lie down on your back in a comfortable position. · Become aware of the sensations of breathing. · After a few minutes of following your breath, shift your attention to the various thoughts that are arising, persisting, and then passing away in your mind. · Try to observe your thoughts instead of getting involved with their content or resisting them. · Notice the content of your thoughts, any emotions accompanying them, and the strength or pull of the thought. · Try to get curious about your thoughts. Investigate whether you think in mainly images or words, whether your thoughts are in color or black and white, and how your thoughts feel in your body. · See if you notice any gaps or pauses between thoughts. · Every time you become aware that you are lost in the content of your thoughts, simply note this and return to observing your thoughts and emotions. · Remember that one of the brain’s major purposes is to think, and there is nothing wrong with thinking. You are simply practicing not automatically believing and grasping on to your thoughts. · When you are ready, return your attention to your breath for a few minutes and slowly open your eyes. Optional: · There are various metaphors and images you can use to help observe your thoughts. These include: o Imagining you are as vast and open as the sky, and thoughts are simply clouds, birds, or planes passing through the open space. o Imagining you are sitting on the side of a river watching your thoughts float by like leaves or ripples in the stream. o Imagine your thoughts are like cars, buses, or trains passing by. Every time you realize you are thinking, you can “get off the bus/train” and return to observing. Awareness of thoughts and emotions is one of the areas of focus developed when cultivating mindfulness. In Buddhism, mindfulness is one of the seven factors of enlightenment and the seventh instruction in the Noble Eightfold Path. The Seven Factors of Enlightenment: https://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/piyadassi/wheel001.html The Four Noble Truths:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Noble_Truths The Noble Eightfold Path: https://tricycle.org/magazine/noble-eightfold-path/ CAUTIONS: Please be gentle with yourself if you notice that you are constantly caught up in your thoughts instead of observing them. This is both common and normal. When you realize that you are thinking, gently and compassionately return to observing your thoughts. If the content of your thoughts is too disturbing or distressing, gently shift your attention to your breathing, sounds, or discontinue the practice. · Remember that you are not trying to stop thoughts or only allow certain ones to arise. Try to treat all thoughts equally and let them pass away without engaging in their content. · This practice can initially be more challenging than other meditations. As you are learning, practice this meditation for only a few minutes at a time if that is easier. · It can be helpful to treat thoughts the same way that you treat sounds or body sensations, and view them as impersonal events that arise and pass away. · Some people like to assign numbers or nicknames to reoccurring thoughts in order to reduce their pull and effect. Breathe Awareness Meditation Stress is an extremely unhealthy condition. It causes the body to release the chemical cortisol, which has been shown to reduce brain and organ function, among many other dangerous effects. Modern society inadvertently encourages a state of almost continuous stress in people. This is a meditation that encourages physical and mental relaxation, which can greatly reduce the effects of stress on the body and mind. Sit still and pay close attention to your breathing process. Take a reposed, seated posture. Your back should be straight and your body as relaxed as possible. Close your eyes, and bring your attention to your breathing process. Simply notice you are breathing. Do not attempt to change your breath in any way. Breath simply and normally. Try to notice both the in breath and the out breath; the inhale and the exhale. "Notice" means to actually feel the breathing in your body with your body. It is not necessary to visualize your breathing or to think about it in any way except to notice it with your somatic awareness. Each time your attention wanders from the act of breathing, return it to noticing the breath. Do this gently and without judgment. Remember to really feel into the act of breathing. If you want to go more deeply into this, concentrate on each area of breathing in turn. Here is an example sequence: 1. Notice how the air feels moving through your nostrils on both the in breath and the out breath. 2. Notice how the air feels moving through your mouth and throat. You may feel a sort of slightly raspy or ragged feeling as the air moves through your throat. This is normal and also something to feel into. 3. Notice how the air feels as it fills and empties your chest cavity. Feel how your rib cage rises slowly with each in breath, and gently deflates with each out breath. 4. Notice how your back expands and contracts with each breath. Actually feel it shifting and changing as you breath. 5. Notice how the belly expands outward with each in breath and pulls inward with each in breath. Allow your attention to fully enter the body sensation of the belly moving with each breath. 6. Now allow your attention to cover your entire body at once as you breath in and out. Closely notice all the sensations of the body as it breathes. Repeat this sequence over and over, giving each step your full attention as you do it. Suggested time is at least 10 minutes. Thirty minutes is better, if you are capable of it. If you find yourself distracted by a lot of mental chatter, you can use verbal labeling as an aid to concentration. For example, on the in breath, mentally say to yourself, "Breathing in." On the out breath, say, "Breathing out." Another possibility is to mentally count each breath.

@Identity ?? Have fun!

Inspect that. See if that’s a given or a perspective.

@Raptorsin7 https://daringtolivefully.com/how-to-enter-the-flow-state

Damn that’s beautiful! ♥️

@kieranperez Deep in there man, nice! Feel like you’re bout to POP lol. ??♥️

@Raptorsin7 Just another perspective, but rather than stopping resisting, which is itself resistance, see the what and why of your “resistance”. Perhaps you have have framed it up before seeing what it is. It might be the very Flow you seek.

Who’d even know.

@Anna1 Congrats on the weight loss! If you’re a chocolate, peanut butter & banana fan, you might like this... https://www.gardenoflife.com/content/product/why-choose-raw-protein-and-greens/ 1 scoop of powder, 1 - 1 cups of ice, 1 - 2 cups chocolate almond milk, 1 - 2 bananas,1 - 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder ( & peanut butter If you want it sweeter.) The ‘Loophole Shake’. It’s all raw foods, vegan, and very nutrient dense.

Take a break. You might find the opposite happens.

@John Lula Yep. ♥️ My nine year old was helping me fix a couple electrical things in the house the other day, and he getting everything. It was in ‘redstone’ language, but he was getting it. Adorbs. @Daffcio lol sweet! If you haven’t, consider beating the game. Reality, creating to survive, the Netherworld, The Endworld, The dragon....all ties in so nicely. If I didn’t know better, I’d swear the Wycowski sisters made Minecraft.

@John Lula ? Yes sir. So family friendly as well. ?? Sometimes, to get the writing creativity flowing, I play Minecraft. It is insane how that works.

@Daffcio Yes, very much so. Minecraft is based on actuality (infinite / finite, creation / survival). Beat the game, watch the credits.

@Loving Radiance All of the above. Wild, no? As a map...somewhat in order but not at all necessarily....Forgetting self, creating “self”, delusion, suffering, longing, deconstruction of delusions, thriving, unification / realization of actuality / no self, healing, purification, Self Realization, intuition, meta-cognitive awareness / infinite intelligence, infinite intuition, collective consciousness, meta-collective consciousness, cosmic awareness, cosmic infinite intelligence, cosmic awareness, nonduality, not knowing, ____________.... Maybe that’s a tiny bit helpful, to consider really, any chronological order, since it seems like all your ‘plates are in the air’ currently. Again, just a “map”, a consideration.

@Adam M Nailed it Adam! Awesome report, thanks for sharing. ??
