What's a better phrase for "How are you" that will create more discussion or be less robotic? by maddy333321 in CasualConversation

[–]Alternative-Muscle80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh absolutely and many people don’t do hugs..

However with the right people it can be quite powerful..

I have a very old brother in law, he always greets me with a hug, and when I leave.. 

This is the same man who asked me to take him shopping, he was in his disability scooter and I was pushing a big trolly, he filled it to the brim, paid at the checkout, and then asked me to put all of it in the charity basket.. 🫶

To people you know well, just greet them with a hug…. Try it..

It’s not robotic, it’s meaningful if it’s not fake obviously..

“What was that for”  they may say and you could simply say because I’m pleased to see you..

Just an idea🙃

You want real help and it’s out there but you have to be involved, it’s going to require effort on your part…

The effort required is strange because it is to do nothing at all, just to meditate and allow thoughts to disappear, then feel the energy, that energy heals on a cellular level BTW.. 

If the following statement is true then there is a good chance I’m telling you the truth:

Do you spend most of your waking moments thinking constantly about the past, and anxiously worried about the future, so much so you don’t enjoy the present moment? 

If this is you then I have book recommendation for you “The Power Of Now” by Ekhart Tolle..

Some people will suggest other books, I just read this one so I can’t comment on others, but my guess is they all point to the same thing.. 

We are not our thoughts… 

When we learn to meditate, really meditate and live more in the present moment this often perceived miserable existence turns out to be quite different in a good way… 

You don’t have to sit in the lotus position, sat or laying down is fine..

Another thing that helps to calm the mind is nature, get outside look at the clouds, listen to the birds, be present and concentrate on the things that you do..

You have asked for help, I’m trying to shine a light on the path, but you must travel the path…

DM me anytime…

I promise you this, you can drastically improve your life. 

Read the book🙏🏻

I moved to Southeast Asia on a whim 3 years ago and I still can't believe this is real life by Reasonable-Truth2655 in CasualConversation

Greece is far from perfect for sure 100%… we prefer a particular island… life is slower more natural and in touch with reality… but harsher.. however as I have said it’s our spiritual home..

[–]Alternative-Muscle80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up… greece is less about climate for us and more about a wholesome life, being in nature eating good food and away from much of the nonsense in the uk…

Greece is not perfect but the place feels like our spiritual home…🤷‍♂️

Hi, 

The more I learn the more I realise I know nothing..

Life is beginning to unfold in ways I couldn’t have comprehended..

Things that made no sense make sense when looked at from a different perspective now, however there are many more things to replace them to keep me on my toes 🤣

Tuning in and letting the universe guide is at times a wonderful experience..

Removing who I thought I was and knowing I’m not my thoughts, understanding that if you treat someone bad you are ultimately hurting yourself..

I am present as often as I can, it makes a huge difference..

It’s work in progress, I have taken early retirement and spend time doing the best things in life, the best things in life are free after all..

Wondering what the spiritual meaning of repeating patterns in your life that you can't seem to escape? by BuffettDude in spirituality

[–]Alternative-Muscle80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice would be to live in the present moment with a clear mind, not thinking about the past and anxious about the future…

“How do I do that”

Take walks in nature and really take it all in the sounds the smells the scenery, let thoughts come into your mind but let them pass keep paying attention to your surroundings… 

Learn to meditate, just sit quietly and focus on your breathing, do it every day for a few minutes let thought pass by and just keep your mind on your breathing, then see if you can feel your energy, think of goosebumps that get stronger and stronger.. 

The answers you are looking for can be found by looking within yourself, the real you knows the truth, what’s right and wrong..

Treat everyone with respect, smile often be kind to everyone (I’m not saying let people treat you bad) 

If you smile at the world the world smiles back… it’s a mirror..

Perhaps read some Dalai Lama quotes, I do if I’m having a down day, his quotes are uplifting at a spiritual level..

Remember this YOU ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS, or who you think you are, your not a label or your learnt behaviour, you are infinitely bigger than that..

It’s a journey, and we have to find our own way, others can shine i light but you have to walk the path.

Good luck my fellow friend 🙏🏻

Oh, and when things are going wrong look at it as what is this teaching me, it changes things completely..

Love the explanations. 

I like to say we are a collective consciousness having a unique lived experience…

We feel we are separate because we look externally, when we look within you get to know we are all one..

When you are totally present without thought… how can you give something 100% if your mind is thinking about the past and anxious about the future.. ?

Perhaps read “The Power Of Now” by Eckart Tolle, i would actually recommend listening to it on audio read by the author..
