@Proserpina Definitely going to try those suggestions, thanks so much for sharing

I've been acutely conscious of pressure around the bridge of my nose today, particularly when I was meditating this morning (it reminded me, as I was sat there quietly despairing at this seemingly impenetrable blockage, that my ex had told me a few years back that I had a blockage in my nose). This might seem at first glance to have little to do with the issues in my heart chakra, but actually it appears to be intimately related - I noticed as I felt into this blockage that there appeared to be a corresponding blockage right in the middle of my chest. Again, I think it's just a matter of time, I can fall into frustration and despair at times but the awakened energy is gradually working through those blockages. Smarts like a fucker sometimes though

@Gianna Isn't it? ?

This is brilliant, I don't think I can overstate how important it is to be able to grasp this - because it's how we access true intelligence.

Hope it's useful for you

@Gianna

@Gianna I know, pretty disconcerting right? ? I do think it's a positive sign though, it's usually a symptom of your kundalini energy being activated which is a good thing (and an essential part of spiritual awakening for most people, I believe) - article on the subject here that you might find useful

I don't find autism and difficulty communicating unlikeable qualities - if anything, I think they make you all the more worthy of love and compassion, because it must be so difficult to live with those conditions.? Exactly, beautifully said ???

I'm so sorry to hear that, my love, I can't imagine how difficult that must be for you I do understand about self-hatred, though, that's something I've struggled with for much of my life, too - I think all most of us really want is love, and so to feel fundamentally unworthy of love is painful beyond words. Yes, I completely agree Self-love is complete self-acceptance I think, and that includes all the anger, hatred, sorrow, despair, etc., that may be lurking within us. Easy enough in theory, rather more tricky in practice - we build up so much resistance to these feelings. So we have to make that resistance conscious first, and allow it to release.

Sorry, I know you weren't asking me, but - I think just giving yourself some attention and noticing what's going on inside you energetically and emotionally is a very loving thing to do for yourself: Drop your attention into your body. Notice where you might be feeling tightness and tension, and allow those areas of your body to relax and breathe. If you notice certain feelings starting to arise as you do so, that's fine - just keep allowing your body to breathe, let those feelings arise. ?

It really is

@ardacigin It's all over my head, I fear. Appreciate the input though, thanks!

Pretty much nails it for me

Funny, I was scrolling through my recent song choices the other day and thinking that they were very male-dominated, and now I find myself listening to predominantly female vocalists - it really wasn't a conscious choice, though, I just seemed to gravitate towards certain songs. It's like a part of me was feeling the need for feminine input. My higher self operates under cover of darkness, I swear

@ardacigin Hmm, not quite following you. I'm particularly struggling with the following line: What do you mean when you say that the occurring of craving 'polarized consciousness'? I'm struggling with that phrase.

Love this! ?

@Gianna

@Gianna ?????

Cheers Preets, currently drowning in my own drool. That devil's fart bread looks sooo appetising...

I love the disclaimer at the end: 'This is not a license to be an asshole or a criminal'. I feel like that was very necessary ?
