ooh! actually i did that to go to sleep for a long while. i'd do the corpse pose, and slowly tense every muscle from the toes up, count to then, then un-tense while breathing in and out. it always helped. then i just did drugs instead, but yknow, life happens.
but it is super relaxing. i taught it to my brother, too. and he's more hyperactive than i am.

ha ha ha-- "life happens". yes. funny/sad, but there is no reason not to pick up where you left off. i think everyone has to get lost a little (more or less) before returning "home", so to speak. once upon a time i went mad-- it was a kind of neurosis turning into a psychosis from the stress. deep depression, suicidal, shit like that. oooooffff... dark times. i'm much better now.
anyway, yeah. you can do that anywhere actually, with practice, without a special pose-- just get out of your head and back in your body. that stuff helps me with anger, panics, serious pain, etc.-- i know the instinct is to flee the body into fantasy, but actually minding the body helps more. ps- and i mean the actual body, not "the mental image of the body" which is a source of soooo much trouble (and plastic surgeries). |

Gotta keep telling myself that I can't be more than 100% of what I am already. There's no shame in wanting more in life. But once that wish renders you unhappy even though you've accomplished some things in recent history, you might want to work on your attitude. Any suggestions on how to effectively think small?

exercise has helped a ton with my body awareness- i'm still a total klutz (which i sorta attribute to my lack of peripheral vision; half the reason i sucked at actual marching in marching band) but being aware of form, breathing, etc. it's hard to really focus on anything else, too, which is nice. thinking small... hm. i'm in the same boat, antagon. so i'm of no help. other than try to break down things into 24 hours. the last few times before this one where i was trying to quit certain habits, life was a facsimile of hell essentially but with an even slower sense of time... i just had to break down stuff hour by hour. like, okay, i'm doing a task, just make it through the hour. etc.

yes, i've seen you post that before! i tried it earlier this morning and it was great. the thing is there is no "public place" around here so if i became unnoticeable i wouldn't now. the "how to reappear" sounds hilarious. i like how it's all sound-based. |

the reappear is awesome. ten seconds of that sounds enough.

If you are interested in reading an English translation of the Encyclical released by the Pope today, you can get it in .pdf format here - w2.vatican.va/content/dam/francesco/pdf/encyclicals/documents/papa-francesco_20150524_enciclica-laudato-si_en.pdf

I likes to be informed, stay comfy and current.
he is pissing off all the wealthy USA people that spread the disinformation about the damage that humanity is doing to our Earth and have already started playing the spin game with this encyclical. Jebediah Bush, without reading it, stated that he feels religion should not be politicized, which is as funny as Satan saying that Evil needs to be vanquished. Nearly every single politician in USA politicizes their supposed religious beliefs at every chance they get!

Especially ironic since George Bush II was deeply involved with the Vatican under Pope Benedict in ways that even Kennedy would have avoided.. I find it interesting the Vatican using in a literal way the "bully pulpit" considering that historically (I'm talking like two thousands years) the Patriarchates and Bishoprics in Christendom were platforms of criticizing political leadership in the tradition of the Prophets of the Old Testament who criticized openly the Biblical Kings. In the days of the Patristic Fathers, the bishops and patriarchs were vocally critical of political leadership even when aligned. Indeed political intrigues are what divided the universal Church in the 450s (at Chalcedon Council) and then again in the 1050s (Great Schism) and then again in the 1550s (Protestant Reformation)..

On the positive side my mood as shifted from somber to numb, which for me is significant progress. If I can get to "ephemeral detachment" I am golden until I swing back towards "manic ecstasy"
