@Hardkill wow, very insightful thank you for sharing your knowledge. You cannot legally own any type of fire arms here in the UK so I'm safe in that department, thank you for your concerns. He doesn't do any type of drugs or smoke and rarely drinks. But yes I've seen 1st hand what happens to him when he has consumed to much alcohol, it's frightening, terribly disturbing (not for my safety but for his state of mind). I hope, when he starts his EMDR therapy the therapist might then forward him onto some sort of group sessions or support group. I'll forward the meditation information to him, thank you. He doesn't read unfortunately. He is interested in martial arts though. He has a good job, he enjoys it to a degree, all employees at the company are treat very well and very respectfully. I can't say he has some sort of 'dream', not that I'm aware of anyway. I'll work on this with him as you suggested, thank you ♥️ @Phill Thank you for sharing your experiences and method! Your anxiety does sound somewhat familiar to my partner's. I'll share the information and technique you've given me, thank you ♥️

Will definitely try. Thank you!

@Nahm thank you. Sorry for late reply, been off the forum dealing with "Challenges" ?

Everyday is a miracle, weekends are an illusion, days of the week and time is an illusion, the present moment has no time or boundaries, now is REAL! Maybe try and live more in the moment?

I literally could of wrote this!! It's creepy to read. Your right, it is a false sense of security and yes I believe many people stay in relationships because of this reason, wether it be financial security or whatever. Basically, like me, I'm reading this as you get into relationships for the wrong reasons (up to you to find that reason) and then as you progress into the relationship you start to slowly feel and realise that your not happy? Why? Because you got into the relationship for the wrong reasons in the first place, the illusion drop's away. I got into my current relationship for the wrong reasons and everyday I live with this, let's call it a 'gut feeling', it tears the relationship down. Like you, I crave to be alone BUT I don't know what I am feeling is true or not, I don't know if what I am feeling is just another illusion. I guess a lot of contemplating on this issue would be a good start for you? I hope your able to work things out for YOU ♥️ *hugs*

Same ? was just about to reply ?

Yes, just ideas, beliefs and experience added on

The unsweetened Alpro?

No your right, I don't mind, just my bed sense of humour, ignore me. The majority of my income is spent on good quality food, skin care, toiletries and household cleaners, everything I use is as organic as it can get.

I'm 27, I don't know why I said I'm 28, wishing my life away ? I'm 28 soon. Wow, glad to hear it's working for you bud! Keep up the good work! ♥️ And thank you for your support ? Amen brother! ? I am @Nahm your absolutely right. I'm able to observe and not be sucked in to the content of most of my thoughts, it's this one big issue I have. I don't want to explain via a thread because I'm to embarrassed but I desperately need some guidance with this "challenge" (see what I did there @Star Net ?) @Nahm would you mind if I PM'd you? I don't want to bore you with my issue's though and take up to much of your time ♥️

These types of thoughts I'm referring to have been in life from around the age of 12, I'm now 28. I've tried observing, it isn't strong enough ?

Do meditation blocks help keep the spine straight? I also find I'm unconsciously dipping my head during (Grrr). Any hints or tricks for posture? Any suggestions, as always are appreciated ♥️

@Faceless @Faceless sorry tagged twice but yes, totally agree! I now see it as some form of entrapment and I'm offering him a hand to free him from his suffering and he isn't grasping, it's a shame but I understand. People have to find there own way there. Definitely! This, I'm not short of ?

Have you definitely ruled out any medical issues you may have? All the Turmeric in the world won't help if you have a deficiency of some kind?

I pop a little garlic and ginger in my rice ? (paste form)

Yes I understand : ) I thought you meant you had been teaching him 'awareness' I was like ? "Please tell me how you've done that at such a young age" ? I can totally relate to what your saying! I have a niece I've watched grow and develop and your right, it is heartbreaking. I watch her slowly being brainwashed by society already ? but at the same time what else would she have? Good good, I'm literally trying to do the same with my partner but he isn't taking the bait ?. Two heads

I honestly don't have any (at a deeper level) the ones I do have, I have created, yet I still get caught up in them but I am getting better at not being sucked in by them.

I'm starting to slowly fully detach from my thoughts instead of becoming pulled in and caught up with them, I used to fight them back, but that was just creating more resistance. May I ask how you taught your son to be more self aware? Maybe your partner hasn't fully grasped the "headlesness" yet? It's so peaceful! So still! How could one possibly not grow to love it there? Maybe she hasn't fully experienced it yet, it's hard to explain it to someone, I have trouble explaining to my other half, when I do, he looks at me like I have 2 heads ?

✓ Will do, thank you!

Yeah unfortunately I don't think lying down is for me either. Cheers dude! Will check it out ♥️ Once again @Nahm, your a bloody gem!! If I had the privilege to meet you in real life I'd give you a great big bear hug as a way of showing my thanks. Thanks for the support as always friend ♥️

Fair enough ?

Haha same! Yeah I'm reluctant of correcting to. Talk about a sore back afterwards

@molosku will research your suggestion, thanking you ♥️

@Shin okidoke, thank yooouuu

How have you grown your intervals? Since I noticed that I "lost myself" during these periods my mind sometimes kick in and interrupts me now Yes! I'm the same with walking/hiking, just appreciation of everything around me.
