@amirali gharib parsa Mantra Meditation With this form of meditation you choose a calming word, thought or phrase and silently repeat it over and over. This helps push away other, more distracting thoughts and produces a profound sense of calm. Transcendental Meditation is a form of Mantra Meditation and is highly recommended for those who suffer from anxiety. Mindful Meditation This form of meditation for anxiety may seem unusual in that, instead of closing your eyes and drifting away from your environment, you choose to become more aware of it and therefore more accepting. This works by allowing you to accept thoughts or distractions and simply let them flow over you. Focusing on your breath and observing its flow helps you to achieve this state of relaxed mindfulness. Mindful Meditation is particularly useful during potentially stressful occasions such as a party. You can do this without anyone even noticing, simply observing, accepting and letting everything flow over you while keeping your attention on your breathing until you feel calmer and in control. Walking Meditation Another method which is well suited to helping combat anxiety as it allows you to withdraw from stress-inducing situations while also giving yourself a real physical and mental treat. During a walking meditation you adopt the principles of the Mindfulness Meditation in that you notice and appreciate everything around you as you pass by at a steady, even pace, concentrating on the motion of your legs and feet. You can even combine this with a Mantra Meditation, silently repeating a calming word, thought or phrase in your head as you breathe deeply and regularly. The benefit of this kind of meditation is that you reap the rewards of both physical exercise and mental calming while giving yourself a proper psychological boost. This sort of ‘me time’ is vital if you suffer from anxiety. Again, it need only be a few minutes, although 30 is optimum. Take a walking meditation a few times a week and you will quickly start to see and feel the benefits from meditation for anxiety. https://anxietyexit.com/best-types-of-meditation-for-anxiety/ Labels, like OCD, “serve” as write offs, which lead to personifying, or, identifying yourself as - or as having the property of. Change your story and you’ll change you life. You don’t “have ocd”.

Seeing the hammer, found not yet a tool; insight of nails - no longer the fool. A first wall stands; a momentum for two; creating as such; creation it is you. Abundant in thought; rather one that or this, insight of choice; resurrection of the bliss. That which truly chooses, mysterious to you, creating of this now; is just what you would do. Empty is the claw; of which no thing to do, no usage & no purpose, in a world that’s only screwed, is that which is formless, unheard & unseen, hides itself in builders, constructing of all things. A blueprint for blueprints, considers the legend; a mapper of all maps, therefore it is not destined. To fathom in such toil, such struggle and such strife, The insight of the choice, is truly of this life.

@Pouya Watch this. You’ll get it during the last ten minutes, and in reflection of the motives of the protagonist.

@Alex bliss Where is ignorance. There is non-inspection of the concept ‘here & there’, but no non-inspector, nor does the lack of inspection create a here or there. There is ignore-ance of sensation & feeling, but there is no ignorer. To the wind & water, this is all nonsense. Just as it is nonsense to us to imply there is a wind-er, or a current-er.

@zeroISinfinity Explains why you were so wired. Love ya. ?

@capriciousduck Go see if it really is, in direct experience. We’ll see ya never. @Mikael89 Quite astute.

@zeroISinfinity Spanking, in some households. That’s how far. Actually hitting one’s own kids. ?

Nonduality (not two). Infinite = unconditional / any ‘yearnings’. “Not directly aware of” = unconscious of. Unconscious = reaction, reacting. Conscious = creation / creating. White wants white, is white not already white? Maybe white wants to experience a rainbow, any rainbow, every rainbow, and to create with white. Inner being, sensation, is simple. A thought “complex”, implies “complex”. Complexity is found in thought & concept, even thought & concept about sensation. Actual sensation, direct, is singular and simplistic.

@DrewNows Ya, for sure. We hold an idea of time. Let go of it / trip brain loses track of it, and there ‘isn’t any’, since there never was any. (Fascination’s great for non-repetition). Clocks are markers of duality & relativity. There’s only a now if there’s a then, can only go there if there’s a here. Conversely, there’s no such marker for awareness, as you are transcendent & all encompassing. Aware of time ✔️?? Time of aware X ?? (nonsensical). It’s reality that doesn’t have a beginning or end, not the trip. The trip just reveals this, like clocks reveal dream.

@DrewNows Why’s it associated with sleep...no?

The change in consciousness changes brain waves which trigger bodily sleep state signals into and out of the trip thresholds, so the natural response is yawning.

@cle103 The conscious / unconscious aspects. The before & after of it. I have seen some awakenings directly related to the understanding of that, and the release of it.

@Strangeloop There’s really no need for a determination, in the sense, you are this or that. It’s a thought, it’s dualistic. You’ll always be the awareness - aware of - all duality. Sexuality doesn't ‘Duality’ so well. It’s thought, and it’s how one feels, and thought about how one will feel in the future. I’d really take some time to flip the perspective, and start putting how you feel before any thoughts. Straight, gay, etc, are nice tight categories as words and as thought, but what they point to is not. The difference between thinking about sexual relationships, encounters, etc, and actually experiencing - right now - a sexual relationship / sexual encounter - is the first happens in duality and can be repeated (in thought) forever, and the second is something which is actually happening right now and you are receiving incredible amounts of information via sensations about the experience (if it’s happening right now). So, we drive ourselves nuts in thought loops, or we put how we feel first. Often putting how you feel first, means choosing how you feel over being right, and over what anybody else thinks about the topic, or about you. Putting how you feel first, also means, - before anything you think. If the thought doesn’t feel good, choose feeling over righteousness. Listen to the feeling, it is the grounding to the source of you. The thoughts are, kinda, rogue. Wild goose-chase-ish. Let em go. Who you really are, is loving of any combination whatsoever which makes up any being or thing. Feeling better is always in that direction, because who you really are is the fucking awesomest. This isn’t as much about the thinking about what this is about. It’s more about unification, reconnection. Far as I’m considered you are lovable, without any qualifications or disclaimers, and I am the final authority on that. Anybody’s got any thing to say about it, I don’t care and it doesn’t matter. You have the final authority, and that is the expression that matters.

@DrewNows Well done sir ?? Love the pics!

@cle103 Awesome! Congrats Big Love! That assertion things is quite the mindjob, eh?

Inspect it and it’ll change on it’s own. Then you’ll feel better. The problem is, you don’t think you’ll feel better, so you’re not inspecting. There might be things to release, and that’ll feel great. New ways of looking at things, also great. But there’s no substitute for going deeper into yourself. It get’s better and better until it just totally blows your mind in the best possible way. Imo, the ‘widespread disorder’, is the thinking of it as a disorder, personifying it and treating it, rather than looking holistically, inspecting, and self discovering the root (with or without someone else). It can take time for the healing, and change in direction. More of you is the best medicine though. Very much a one moment at a time thing. Practices are reliable. Wherever you are is perfect, really. It’s your journey. You’re worth looking into. That really is the metadventure, the biggest ride in town.

Separation=Responsibility. (This perspective you have) Nondual=No Responsibility. Meditation, every morning. All responsibility - made up. Think maybe, of an actor in a movie, reading the script (conditioning) day in and day out. Then suddenly realizing he’s not even in a movie, and dropping the script on the floor, and doing what he wants. Where is there not really free will, where is there free will? Seems like in the end, but not so much in the beginning, but he was always free. He conditioned himself. He wrote the script. He made the props. He said the lines.

@bejapuskas In trying to own you are missing you are having a mystical experience right now. Mindfulness is the matter at hand.

@Courtney Just. Yes. Wonderful!

@Cocolove Seen that new movie The Biggest Little Farm? Great movie. Very moving & inspirational. Beautiful really.

@IndigoGeminiWolf Do what you truly love, for the feeling, and you’ll see it’s about the experience, the feeling, not the things.

@Courtney Well hell yeah Courtney! Really great to hear!

@Strangeloop Well, how open minded are you in terms of self acceptance? Sexuality is within you, so if there is resistance, it is acting as fragmentation of yourself; parts you accept, parts you resist / deny...no? What we resist, does seem to persist. Sounds like you’ve had this resistance for long enough to be talking about your brain shaking, etc. I don’t suppose you’re going to feel at peace in doing this, because, you are not parts, you are a whole. Peace is found, likewise, within you. The resonating of the whole of you. Are you sexual tendencies in disagreement with some beliefs...about “gay people”? Reading between the lines of your post....it seems to me you had a closed minded anti-gay upbringing / environment, with religious dogma “supporting” this closed mindedness. Did you grow up a square peg, constantly trying to be forced into a round hole? Imo, it’s not really actually about wether you are indeed gay or not, but rather, finding what perspectives are causing the discord with your inner being - who loves you unconditionally - exactly the way you are, confusion and all. What do you think about these things I’m saying? How do you feel about this?
