  1. As I started deepening my meditation and self enquiry practices I started noticing this odd tendency. For example, I was an atheist for 4 years and I never confonted my father about that issue and just played along and pretended I believed. I was scared of how he'd react because he was abusive in the past. One day he asked me if I could check something about our local church and asked me if I wanted to go. I, without a single thought in my head, said that I will never go to church again because I don't believe in it all. As soon as I said it, i experienced this amazing feeling of freedom and in another instant I felt terrified and started thinking who said that and my mind was coming up with all sorts of awful consequences that will arise from this. Luckily, almost none of them happend. It also happend today, I just blabbled out to my best friend something I was scared to say for years. it came so naturally and I felt the second biggest relief I ever had, other than that with my father. I feel more authentic with everyone because I dropped the act, but I'm still really confused about all of this. i guess I'm scared of my self image being destroyed Any insights or experiences of what this could be would be appreciated. Thank you

    Try cutting out juices and sodas if you drink those also cut out ,processed foods, caffeine, dairy and fried foods which are not only bad for your general health, but especially your skin.
  5. This soundtrack makes me stop everything I'm doing and just focus on being present. It also makes me very happy and grateful for living. I'd say it's perfect for journaling and contemplation. I also like tracks from Mr. Nobody and Amelie which lift me up and keep me grounded.
  6. Some of the things that work for me are : - practicing gratitude -be in the company of people you love, family, friends, a pet norture your body, take long baths, treat yourself with something -stop comparing yourself with others -do something you enjoy for pure fun -mindfulness say no when you feel overwhelmed get rid of all stimulation and write about what you love about yourself and your life and what you want to accomplish and so on. Also you can try self love meditation, it does wonders! http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-23741/8-inspirational-books-to-help-you-embrace-self-love.html
