Because I'm thick as f at math ? @ajasatya your absolutely right thank you and I am indeed ?

@ajasatya what if you have to study something you absolutely detest but it's compulsory?

That was deep and beautiful and actually filled me with tears. Thanks for sharing ?

@John Iverson 2 votes for 3 up to now John so... buh bye ? ?

@John Iverson I said vote 3 and you said sleeping on the floor? And I said no number 3 is sleeping with breathing not sleeping on the floor. ?

Slow exposure. Find root thought that is causing fear, become aware of what you do to evade, reassure and avoid. Have a friend call you for 20 seconds, stay on the phone and repeat root thought to yourself, sit with the anxiety, make sure to not do any of your avoiding or reassuring behaviours, be completely with that fearing root thought for the whole 20 seconds. Hang up. Repeat and make time on the phone longer (slowly). Slow exposure of the anxiety you endure with naturally decline. It works, trust me ? feel free to pm if you'd like more info or someone for moral support ♥️

Open as f mind as stated above. The therapist is the menu not the meal. You are the meal. I'm currently in the middle of high intensity CBT and she's decided to help me with panic disorder at the same time (I nagged her), she's extremely helpful and we clicked at like the second session, do you feel some kind of energy between you and your therapist? I feel this is important.

@John Iverson John 3 is the sleeping and breathing thingy

@Ether wow that's awesome! Good for you ??

I vote 3 ✋

@Ether anti depressants @Greys0n @lmfao Cheers guys!!! Muchly appreciated ?

Couldn't agree with you more. I've been toying with the idea of no timer and just sitting for as long as I want to.

?♥️

@Nahm ♥️♥️ @zoey101 I have seen it several times Oh yes definitely, whatever works for you. ♥️

Awesome question Nahm, I've been pondering this also lately ?♥️.

Somebody once said to me "Ride the waves graciously" I've never forgotten that, ride them consciously shroomdoctor and with grace. I also see this as healing ?

? We both know this is utter bollocks, I do a better job the majority of the time ??

The thing is outer, that's one study on 77 people, that study (in my opinion) doesn't demonstrate anything for the majority of men and women who partake in mindfulness meditation. Also it doesn't say it doesn't work, it says "MAY not work as well" got to be careful with that word "may".

@MarkusSweden Where the hell has my comment gone ? Also don't want to comment on the thread because it would be a biased opinion but I have noticed women do tend to come into this more graciously and men like to brute force their way through but I can't speak on behalf of everybody, just saying what I've noticed.

@egoless I respect him for turning his life around, I admire his faith, he barely shed a tear at his own mother's funeral because he believed she was going somewhere better. What I don't like is that Christianity doesn't like to be questioned, the majority of answers is "Have faith", to me that seems like a cop out. Also, I was brought up Christian and lost my faith because I realised this was something I was MADE to believe true, it was imprinted in me from a very early age, I had no direct experience of Jesus Christ and took all beliefs on blind faith.

@egoless You sound like my dad. I've always viewed (as an adult) him as delusional, brainwashed almost, but maybe that's just my beliefs

Can I ask what your views are on religion? (If allowed) aimed at all of you...

@Ether seriously? That's it?
