@egoeimai aaaaaah I see! Thanks for sharing

@KrackJack I had this for a while and when I say a while I mean like 2 months, became very distracting. I read from numerous sources they link it to stress?

Thanks for your advice ❤️ Oh I didn't know they detox heavy metals in the body, I also eat a lot of fish another 1+

@Rinne do they turn white? Or like a weird patchy colour?

How come you stopped taking them hun? Thank for your input ♥️ Mine are in tablet form so I'm unsure about Tsp's ? Thanks for your input ♥️

Made my morning ?

@Max_V should I not take them in the evening? From the sounds of it they give you energy If that's the case... I'm not sleeping tonight

(From my experience) Set a permanent time when you are at your peak of mental clarity. Write down somewhere why you want to meditate and what you want to gain from it, place the notes somewhere within eye view every morning (try and keep the notes small enough so you can scan when your half asleep/rushing) Keep sitting to meditate at that set time, FORCE yourself to build the habit NO MATTER WHAT. On the days your having internal resistance to sitting, accept that resistance and just sit. Make the habit. Good luck ♥️

This is cute ?

Don't make the same mistake as I did, trying to deal/manage everything at once, it will have a backfire effect in someway or another. It won't be permanently changed/managed. Try and manage the most significant issue first. Once that's been fully handled, move on to your next issue. Maybe write out a POA? (plan of action). Your vision board? Place it out in a way that things are dealt with in accordance to the most important. I find with issues the slower you manage them and show each one the right attention the more permanently the change will stick. (Like losing weight properly instead of a radical weight loss diet).

Understood. Okay, I'll try and rephrase, I would like to practice how to be able to NOT place myself in the situation via the thought. I totally get it! ? (I'm laughing at myself and how true it is what you've said) I need to penetrate this truth. Massive help @dorg Thank you ♥️ Thank you thank you thank you ♥️ Massively appreciate the time you've spent to write and share this with me. I'll give him a serious watch, thank you. "I can't help but think that your issues may also have a physical component, and perhaps a larger one than what one would think" Could you please elaborate a little more on this? ( not skeptical just intrigued) Thanks for the suggestion. Yes I've tried numerous guided meditation apps, I don't know why but I find them more of a distraction than an aid. Thank you though ?

Last night I made a lovely meal... Red Thai curry (vegetarian) (with my own twist) Ingredients: Red and yellow pepper Onion Red and green chilli Sweet potato (chopped) Red Thai curry paste Coriander Ginger Garlic Serve on Organic brown rice Looked a little something like this before cooking, very vibrant and turned out to be extremely tasty and flavoursome ? (excuse my little Yoda in the background ?)

Thank you. All sorts of different herbals, mints, ginger, cinnamon, green just to name a few. I began drinking coffee because I watched my mum have 1 from an early age, I joined in and it's now a habit. I suppose my comment "fish is brain food" is just a belief on blind faith ? although I can't give up my Sushi ? I did read that too much liquorice is bad for you in many ways. Yes I'm definitely still interested, thank you very much ♥️

Love that quote, Yoda is my buddy ? I have him as a figure on my car keys, he comes everywhere with me ? Cheers @Shroomdoctor! You too ? @Shin what makes you think he's abusive? Is that what you've picked up from my posts? (Genuinely interested)

Okay, here we go... My partner has an anger issue. Today, I told him he starts to take action to gain some control or I'm off. He agrees. He doesn't practice consciousness, enlightenment, self actualisation work. He does suffer with PTSD and is on the waiting list for EMDR. He's asked me to post this on his behalf for any help you guys could possibly offer. Any techniques? Any help? Thanks for reading ♥️

Fair enough, good for you ♥️ glad you made the right decision for you. @Shin I'm contemplating the idea, tactfully ?

I did mushrooms when I was 15, still to this day it was the one experience I will never forget. I reached some mad level of consciousness

Why so? (Out of interest)

This is how I feel. I feel he plays too 'victim mentality' sometimes. I understand he can't change what has happened in the past but he has control in the present and for his future. I've suggested different techniques and ideas and It's usually replied with a "hmm maybe" ? I have issues myself and I want to change, I'm currently working very hard on myself, seeking advice and suggestions from other people, applying them into my life. This is an example (in my opinion) of someone that wants to change, someone who's actively looking for answers themselves. If he doesn't change, I'll be leaving. End of, unfortunately. Thanks for your input @Shroomdoctor ♥️

Thank you so much for this @Faceless very insightful. Thank you for sharing ♥️ I do have a sense from him, like yourself had, that he lives in this way... "The feeling of aloneness/seperatness was a prison in which I remained for a lot of my life." I can see this in him, he says comment's (in arguments) such as "I don't need you, I've never needed ANYBODY!" This tells me he lives from a place of loneliness and separation. He's had to though, he had an incredibly rough childhood/teenage years. I feel deeply saddened at how shut off (in him mind) he is from himself and reality. I love them quotes! I'll show them to him, thank you. I've tried all that you have mentioned in the a) b) c) list. Unfortunately my efforts to communicate and sympathise with him go unnoticed. I once read a passage in "The power of now" book my Eckhart tolle, I remember it saying something about suffering becomes part of the persons identity so they fear to lose it. This rang true to me. I asked him... "Do you in someway or another enjoy your suffering?" He replied "Yes". The reason I assume he replied yes is because he knows nothing else, he's suffered all his life, this is the identity in which he associates with his 'self'. Hope that makes sense. "This would have to be very subtly convieghed though. Slowly sensitively of course. Communication would have to be by physical communication being how you conduct yourself non verbally around him and also every now and then verbal communication. But nothing to abrupt of confrontational. Think indirect?" Could you please give me some examples of how I would go about this please? Because clearly my verbal communications aren't having any effect. I wonder sometimes if I come off a little 'preachy' to him and therefore he zones out, so I'm interested in your "indirect" approach. Very useful faceless, thank you deeply ♥️♥️

Interesting, thank you for your detailed response. What I seem to have gathered from this is I need to work more on the practice of mindfulness because clearly I'm going wrong somewhere. Thank you ♥️ Thank you for this. I need to work more on observation. Can you recommend a particular type of meditation? ♥️ Well done for helping your friend! That's lovely to read. I wish him all the best ♥️ Erm... Physically? ? I eat well (I hope)... I've radically transformed my eating habits over past 6 month's. I decided to become a pescatarian in the beginning of January (over night) and I've stuck to it, I eat plenty of organic vegetables, I eat the smallest amounts of sugars I possibly can (if I do I have organic honey), I eat fish (brain food), organic nut milks, no dairy, every morning for breakfast I have organic oats with seeds and a few berries, one cup of coffee a morning (used be two), I switched to flouride free natural toothpaste, I spent a little fortune on the best cook wear to cook with (regular pots and pans can be toxic), I don't smoke tobacco (although I vape), I don't drink or do drugs, I take good organic supplements and I drink plenty of organic herbal tea daily. I also use organic household cleaners around the house and in my skin/hair care routine. There's my life story for you ? Could you recommend I do anything else maybe? ♥️

Fair enough ??

♥️

Random! I was going to ask your advice on something if you have some spare time to share for little old me ?? Would you mind if I PM'd you later on? Cheeeeeeeeeeers

Ignore that⬆️ @Shin we had one argument and I totally forgot to use the safe word so not sure yet. I'll keep you update though. Tell me more about your dream ?
