I used to sometimes. But only really when going cray cray on the dance floor of the club lol.

Eat your words fallout haters

@bringa Also, https://integralguide.com/

David Tian has great videos on this sort of topic imo. Including this one: Dude really changed the trajectory of my life.

@Schizophonia I get you. Also, thanks for giving me the opportunity to clarify.

@Schizophonia Hence, why I said 'period' and 'can'. I meant to imply that it can be the case that for a person that overcomes the suffering.

I think going through a period of serious suffering can provide a level of depth and humility to a person. However, if it goes on too long then the value really fades.

Yeah I agree. Look at people's actions not their words. Compare these people to folks like Leo or Shinzen Young who put out 95% of their content for free. And where the 95% isn't just an elaborate sales funnel.

Can try IFS therapy, Somatic experiencing, ideal parent figure protocol, gestalt therapy, TRE. Would recommend ifs therapy the most. Can also work on loving-kindness/ metta-medtitation. Here is a book for that I recently came across: Lovingkindness: The Revolutionary Art of Happiness, by Sharon Salzbe Also, would recommend Patrick Teahan's youtube channel

The Ideal Parent Figure Method (IPF) is a new breakthrough treatment for attachment disturbances created by the late Dr. Daniel P Brown at Harvard Intro resource: https://www.reddit.com/r/idealparentfigures/comments/vl27y9/introduction_to_the_ideal_parent_figure_method/

Agree

Gotta do them field reports boio

Love Teahan's work

You're welcome mate. Also, it might be helpful for you to start each noting cycle by internally saying 'I love you' towards the chosen sensory experience. In that way you also build a loving attitude towards all experience. (I get this might not make sense until you get an understanding of shinzen young's mindfulness system)

Have you worked with Shinzen young's see-hear-feel meditation techniques?

lmao

Am applying the principle of patience, and mastery mindset. Have shortened my meditations. Was trying 2 hours twice per day, but a wiser pace, imo, is doing 1 hour sessions, going to see how doing 3 of them per day works. I'm also interested in experimenting further with see rest, and centering prayer. Been seeing improvements with both. Still having issues with metta meditation but will keep experimenting. But with the see hear feel technique im using at the moment its clear to me that many gains are on the way.

Mindfulness meditation plus metta can be useful for self acceptance imo.

@Phoenix Garfield From this line alone, I'd say cut her off and go no contact. Also, imo, understand there are good parts to most abusive relationships.

I really want to crack metta meditation. going to see how prayer can help me, though i'm not religious. Also, I am going to start trying to listen to spoken poetry more. In the past, being romantic about life has been such a great attitude to have. And, with that hardships and the day to day have a different, more poetic vibration to them. Just listened to this: ------------ But man this muscle tension is a bitch and a half.

Intriguing. Nice share

U the man

Been working on meditations that involve labelling for quite a while now. An issue I've found is I find the process of labelling very tedious. However, recently I've found a tool that makes labelling a lot easier for me: My xbox controller! To label, I use the Y for inner/ outer see, B for inner/ outer hear, and A for inner/ outer feel. (Using Shinzen young's terminology here, e.g. inner see = mental image) Would be curious to hear other people's experiences, if they decide to use a controller to label. I think it could catch on

Can see it as a shit test. Can just make a joke out of it. Like Leo's first response on this thread. Personally, I would prefer to go with "That's not what my step mum told me last night". But I'm a bit fucked up so suit it too your tastes 😂

Why not redirect your life to ur mama
