In waiting for others to accept me I will never fully be able to accept myself. Choosing me takes back the power ive given to others, they can simply stay or run away but happiness is no longer dependent

I wouldn’t say that, perhaps if I developed a close friendship with a guy who identified as gay then I might be open to it. I’ve had a few encounters with gay men either trying to be friendly or openly asking/flirting with me since then and ended up politely rejecting them rather than responding with fear/rejection. I have long hair and don’t care , although, sometimes I do care what others think and choose not to express myself. I can be feminine and masculine. I love to dance and sing and I used to inhibit myself and judge it as acting girly or gay. I realize now the energy expressed and the principles I choose to follow are expressions of Love and choosing a more full version of me means allowing for constant change/flux modifications to the Identity I bring forth, judgment of myself and others is just a laughing matter as ‘I am’ all that is

Only the need to express it did. That aspect became a part of awareness Not it goes beyond attraction. I could be bisexual but I’ve always had a strong attraction or aversion to women

To share an experience i had while on a mushroom trip, there was the very same experience of fear/pain or an aspect of me trapped within the abdomen. I believe it was related to the suppressed feminine side. I was sitting on the floor and breathing into the pain, eventually laid back and put my hands over my abdomen and continued breathing into the pain. There was wholeness and freedom, i had been completely ready and willing to die, to surrender, the sense of self/ego and only then was the healing/release of energy possible. Eventually I was overtaken by the divine feminine as i completely let go. Turned into an amazing experience, best trip by far.

Personally I’m into energy mastery. Soccer is my craft, and I was eventually lead to food freedom. It’s been an intense spiritual journey with some intense emotional breakthroughs just this year. Late last year I tapped into energy cultivation by shifting modalities, ongoing meditation and using the breath and chi gong exercises. I’ve never felt more healthy in my life and I’m nearly 30. body and mind are one the mastery of one will include the other No beginning or end to self mastery

@Natasha aww love the profile pic!

you're right Well from what i've seen Paul hasn't taken up and completed a detox diet or solid food vacation, and this is sad to me, he seems to use genes as sort of a write off he's a great guy and i'd love to meet him some day

Meh as long as we drink with a purpose

I enjoy this channel

I’d do more intermittent fasts, consume less or quickly digestible food like smoothies post workouts because the energy will be directed toward recovery rather than digestion. The same goes for preworkout fuel, I’d avoid anything within an hour so there’s no acid build up during the training. Lastly I simply wouldn’t place so much importance on training past comfort or through pain because it’s a silly mental game creating more stress and problems to deal with. Allow the body to be the authority as it is the temple, it knows what it needs

thanks for sharing, finally someone expanding awareness of health/wellness around the fitness field. I’ve been enjoying his podcast. Really amazing work going on.... I’d like to know his Philosophy regarding the human body and how it functions if anyone has a link for that please share! @Identity

I think this is an important point. IMO the cleanse is bringing out all that emotional baggage, stored trauma, or karmic energy and there's nothing for you to do but feel it. Sometimes you will create meanings for the energy based on the past but this doesn't have to be forced. Breath deep, meditate and be the observer! Your body is healing itself, just love it!

@Average Investor I feel like the less you eat the more mindful breathing you’d choose to do. I don’t do any specific breathing routines outside of body movement workouts and warmup routines. Deep belly breathes/engaging the core is amazing (basically meditation), anytime I’m looking to center myself I’ll do it, doesn’t matter where I’m at or what I’m doing

@Average Investor yes I’ll do mindful diaphragm breathing and body movement workouts centered around the breath. I’m currently not in detox mode but I’ll be jumping back to that this year as I’m striving for optimal health. I’m not a liquidarian or breatharian but I’d like to be, so empowering to let go of the attachment, plus loads of benefits of high functioning/productivity/clarity

@Average Investor it's okay. I’m not too familiar with her content. I think her mental space can seem questionable but who am I to judge

Yes good stuff here! ? here’s a short video on the power of the breath: “the more you breathe the less you need”

@StarStruck was there a need to breath? I’ve experienced this while tripping, but I also felt no need to I couldn’t tell you why because there was no me, maybe breathing itself is the illusion

Some people simply can’t afford to expand their knowledge/awareness. But I’m talking about society as a whole. We still have war, slavery, crime and punishment (prison systems), torture, corruption (violence) etc. And yes the cognitive dissonance is real and I think it will take psychological/spiritual evolution which we seem to be right on course for..lol

To me it’s a bad experience/trip that would normally result in psychosis but without an ego attachment, it just ends in confusion and the feeling of a “losing myself” in that trip, even though there’s no longer a possibility for a “bad” trip, maybe that resonates?

Where’s the burning? In the stomach? I’ve experienced it in the stomach and having very similar sounding dimensional splitting as you describe. Imo it really has to do with setting and (mainly) intention, whenever I take a trip and I have no clear intention or desire, the subconscious mind dictates the experience and so there’s no clear desire to be in my current reality, I’ll launch into other dimensions with no recollection and barely an awareness of my breathe. However “I” was seemingly able to find anything I wanted to know my advice is simply to have clear trip plans and activities, an empty stomach, and to use the breathe to shift focus/direction while tripping

@remember lol "healthy as an ox" phrase is meaning above average health/good physique...wasn't talking about literal animals. I get tired of justifications, blaming, guilt tripping and finger pointing i agree, and just shared as an example Unfortunately i don't think we will stop torturing or killing animals until we stop torturing and killing each other

"think and grow rich" I heard this could be useful

Basically it’s an expression of your needs, being vulnerable, sharing the conflict you feel inside

@w4read what are you feeling? personally if Id share how you feel about the situation with both your dad/his gf and then your mom. You need to connect with yourself on an emotional level, not for the purpose of blaming or Judging their actions but so you voice how it has impacted you to make peace with this psychological trauma and move on rather than making a shadow
