  1. @Tim R Very good timing , I’ve been wrestling with this idea for some time now??
  2. @How to be wise Where is the line between difficult and dysfunctional?
  3. @How to be wise Why wouldn’t you reset if the relationship is clearly dysfunctional?
  4. @benny Can we trust our observations though? Are we qualified to judge?
  5. Understanding deeply that everything changes sooner or later resolves that issue.
  6. Of course. People block for different reasons. I think that it’s important NOT to assume that it would happen next time also?
  7. @Brandon Nankivell City Brandon, close to Tampa, Florida, I’m guessing..
  8. @Sempiternity I understand that self medicating is becoming more popular. In my opinion these pills are like fake boobs, it’s you, but not really. Common doesn’t mean one shouldn’t do some serious research before jumping into something that can get you some unnecessary side effects in the long run...
  9. @Sempiternity I think the pill is definitely not the answer, sorry. He’s ca 25 . We’re not talking to a 65 year old?
  10. I would recommend slowing down. It’s not a race. Feel into it, use Your imagination . Discover Your partner, listen, learn to move energy etc. It’s an art.
  11. That thinking about it doesn’t get me there. Would have been great to realize it much earlier..
  12. Believe it or not, I’ve been like this since I can remember ? Consider it to be a big plus.
  13. Wait what...you weren’t joking with this gross generalization?
  14. I would sit on sofa and wait.
  15. If You write 2+2=5 on the paper, it exists/happens. Since we are all gods, You created it. You made it true.?
  16. Hej Living in Sweden. I speak ??,??,??,??. Glad to meet you.
  17. @Moksha I tried this way also. That fits better. No naming, comparing, nothing... on and off, slowly getting longer, but this works only in the nature. It becomes easier and easier.But I get these mood swings, I cry because it’s so beautiful and laugh don’t know why.. just comes. Sometimes mixed. Don’t know what that is. even now I feel it some. Hard part for a thinker... If I observe people or do it in noisy environment, there’s too much distraction? Would it work in the city after some practicing? Thank You for guidance ?❤️
  18. @Moksha Thank You! I have tried meditation in the past. My problem is that I fall asleep. Doesn’t matter how rested I am. I relax very quickly , without effort, thought process slows down, then come unfinished sentences, colors and after awhile i dose off? In the nature it’s easier, I can just admire. Am I doing something wrong?
  19. Ok, so i tried this Neti Neti method. Hope I did right. I realized that if somebody removes carefully my bodyparts or exchanged them with others, I’m still there, so I can’t be my body. Body can’t be an essential part of me. I realized that I was there before the construction of my Story started, memories, values, language , thoghts etc...So I’m not my story... Everything I remember, imagine, think to exist is not necessarily there, it’s more like guessing really.. What remains is the observation/curiousness/something something and the currently observable “experience” . Since that observable “stuff” is not constant eighter, it cannot be me... I’m left with the observer...
  20. Good question, I would also like to know? I think Leo mentioned contemplating as one of the methods... Don’t know if it’s enough alone though?
  21. The fact that i can hold a nut and bolt in my i hand and feel sincere joy that they are. the fact that somebody broke locks on my car and trashed the inside ... I started laughing because i felt that it happened but not to me. it just happened... etc Finding joy in small things and acceptance in short.
  22. I think these are good questions. Certainly made me analyze my parenting skills. Wondering if there are no parents in this forum or is it so that children as individuals can be so different that generalization doesn’t work. Since nobody else stepped in I ‘ll give You my opinion. You can decide, if it’s worth something or not. I consider myself to be average but oh well. I think that the parent could begin with themselves. Try to analyze and understand their own shortcomings and plusses. Often times it’s necessary to go outside your comfort zone, learn new things, improvise etc. Find all “broken files” that he/ she downloaded/was programmed with from /by previous generations. Some parenting skills are ok to take over, some a total no no. Good parents brake the cycle of bad techniques. Good parent is able to switch to child's point of perception. Patience- quite obvious. Eye contact, calm and understanding. Answering all WHY questions, regardless how strange they sound. Really taking time to explain! Giving examples using simple concepts. Letting the child to choose is very important in my opinion. Much more than giving ready answers. Asking high quality questions, to make them think etc. Above all lots of love, will to understand and really listen. This is pretty much how I approached this challenge. So far so good. She’s 18. We shouldn’t forget of course that “above-average “ parents can raise a total brat and bums a decent one?
  23. Channel “Yoga with Adriene” is really great in my opinion also. You could start with 30 day challenge. She has really good vibe ??
  24. That is Your assumption... How would You /me know how it is supposed to be?
