I will never go back. In my top 5 decisions of the decade so far.

Can you have it in front of you and be free to either take it or not? If you abstain you aren’t free. If you indulge you aren’t free either. You make the decision. My mom never tried weed in her life but has the worst relationship with it in my direct circles. The stories you tell yourself matter. Well actually they don’t but you get what I mean.

You guys are coping😂

😅chairs are to sitting what donuts are to eating.

Culture has been crippling our physical coherence since kindergarten by sitting us on chairs all day. It’s pure crap & makes us so weak we can’t even imagine basic human functioning anymore. Sitting on the floor is better for your health in every conceivable way if you can stomach the fact it’s going to take literal years to fix the damage caused by decades of conformity. This goes way beyond yoga or meditation practice. It’s your entire life. I agree that lotus is not good. Sitting cross legged doesn’t mean lotus or even half lotus. Your legs shouldn’t be on top of each other.

Where do you get brain? I never seen this at any market. Do you order it?

The only reason it hurts when cross legged is that you never do it. People even loose basic functions like squatting by not doing them. From thousands of hours doing chair & floor, there’s 0% chance I go back to chair. Leo is not a model of physical coherence and he is wrong about this one. Chairs make your hips weaker & when you get weak enough you think it’s the only option. Chairs is conformist non sense. Not the other way around. Meditating on it doesn’t make it original lol. Low stool where you can assume a kinda of squat but seated is also leagues above chairs.

Chair sitting is ass. The floor is better.

I eat similar to this. Love the fermented stuff like kimchi, miso, yogurt, etc.

I like odd numbers. The measure resolves on a different foot every time the breath changes direction, it’s quite soothing. It makes sense to me to try to equalize both sides. 5 for low intensity & 3 for more involved pace. 7 is quite mechanically beautiful even though it’s too slow to really get any cardio work.

Psychedelics is a domain of mastery. A noob can’t just put on skis and go down double diamonds all day long without hurting themselves but an experienced skier can flow down all of them easily every day no problem. Probably shouldn’t push psychs that far but the dynamic is there. Experience with something makes more of it available to you. I had this experience with music too. A noob physically & mentally can’t play 4 to 8 hours a day but pros do it all the time

Oh yeah, life is a sine wave. Sound, your spine, tripping & much more!

Don’t you love art?

Sorry I meant gait* It’s basically coordination of the movement patterns involved in running. It’s how you hold your glutes, hip flexors, abs & so on. It’s the angle of your tibia relative to your foot & a jaw dropping amount of other considerations. It’s even the shoulders because they are general expressions of the spinal wave that moves your forward. The only reliable way I found to improve it is to pay more attention & use more intuition but there are general principles to keep in mind. The biggest probably being the bilateral nature of humans. Weight transfer & mastery over where you place your centre of mass is a huge part of my conception of gait.

Oh & breath of course. The relationship between breath count & step count is like a dial for intensity.
