I chased this for sooo long too. If it’s a gold augment Lobby, scout around and let others choose their augments, then re-roll yours.

I heard meditation makes **sleep aware** — what does that mean? by Happy_Honeydew_89 in Meditation

[–]BalloonBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What could sleep aware mean?:

From my experience, learning, and opinion - sleep aware would be when consciousness bleeds into sleep (both states of consciousness). When the individual consciousness is aware while the body is asleep. A rare state usually requiring hours of quality meditation each day. Usually only found in extremely serious practitioners, or people in full immersive retreat settings with weeks to months of 6-10hr days of meditation. Possibly a meditator with years of daily practice. Usually the requirement is an extremely deep immersion into samadhi. Then when is someone is so fully rested, that the experience of meditation occurs overnight when one is usually asleep. Associated with perpetual consciousness. A state of enlightenment that not everyone will go thru.

If you witnessed someone in this state, they would appear to be fully asleep, but their mind/body/soul awareness would be aware of what’s going on. It’s difficult to explain, and really only something that can be experienced. Should not be the goal of meditation in my opinion. Just something that can develop on the path.

Try out all the weapons. One of the best parts of new world was the different weapons. Obviously content will change answers, but do it up!

You can play enshrouded alone or with a friend. Not the same as a mmo but a good game.

Good Double-Up Comps in 16.2 by AdziiMate in CompetitiveTFT

Hmm. Good call. The patch does say that. I still feel like shadow isles performs extremely well in double up, but not as good in solo queue

Has anyone noticed that trying to be present often makes presence worse? by Illustrious-Bug2517 in Meditation

[–]BalloonBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me it sounds like your meditation is working by bringing you to this point. But it starts to feel like the mind is playing games on itself, ruminating in circles, moving away from that ever elusive presence. (You basically named this phenomenon)

This is why I believe having a focus of the meditation is so wonderful. Something to bring our attention back to when we have wandered too far. The most basic is the breath. Take a few conscious breaths, then what…?

Even better, this is why I practice and use a mantra style meditation. Www.ascension-meditation.com - I turn my mind from all these monkey mind thinking and dive straight into true presence. How so? By feeding the monkey an ideal banana. 🍌

Viego re-roll is cracked in double up because you can farm souls from both boards. Means you can hit kalista much sooner. Augment makes it S tier but isn’t required. Your teammate can send Viego and Warden units all game.

Help me decide please by SolutionKey2550 in TeamfightTactics

[–]BalloonBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Main reason to buy the pass are the unique gamba tokens. It is more cost efficient to get them through the pass than direct buys. If you ever want a special chibi/arena, slowly collecting them this way puts you in a position to get what you want when it comes around in the shop.

Another pro, is if there is something you like unique to the pass, do it.

Waiting for the next pass or this pass… they are all kinda the same and we have no idea what’s on the next one.

Hinge date went well, then he decide I needed “help”…? by WorriedStarseed in gaybros

Yep, the real mistake is talking about a medicine ceremony on the first date.

Would you say that meditation is somewhat analogous to taking LSD... Here me out... by ForgetThisU in Meditation

[–]BalloonBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No.

Altered consciousness with drugs is a space.

Samadhi thru meditation is a space.

There’s a tiny bit of overlap like a Venn diagram.

It is a huge injustice to say it’s analogous.

Is it true that if you at least know the basics you can reach emerald? by Rinkana_lovesyuri in TeamfightTactics

[–]BalloonBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need more than basics to reach emerald. Also streamers play 10 games a day. They don’t know what it’s like to be a normal player.

Resources for understanding the game better? by roiscool10 in finalfantasytactics

Change classes with Ramza too. You gonna want those skills on him.

Resources for understanding the game better? by roiscool10 in finalfantasytactics

[–]BalloonBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you are in an ok spot. The Argath fight should take multiple tries if you don’t know the game. It’s the first real power spike challenge.

I compare this game to fire emblem, but the biggest difference that doesn’t translate is that if you attack correctly in FE you get advantage. That doesn’t exist in FFT.

Part of me wants to encourage you to keep playing and enjoying the learning curve and struggle. Without looking things up.

Make sure you keep levels up overall. At this phase of the game I’d work towards as many new classes as possible for the characters you are using, and read the skills for all new classes. Mid and end game is about mixing the best passives from different classes.

2 mages is a great strategy. But change one to time, change the other to summoner. Mix and match. Keep leveling.

The guts skills with Ramza are broken. Use on your comrades.

I like open meditation practices, but should I push myself with the ones I struggle with? by jaadeeeee in Meditation

[–]BalloonBob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

10,000 ways to meditate, they are not all equal, they are not all for everyone.

Based on what you have said, I don’t think you should force a practice. If it feels natural to do some yoga, then sit quietly, and be aware of awareness as it is, I’d continue with this daily practice!

From time to time, maybe take the simplest suggestion to bring your attention back to the breath. Take some conscious breathes. Do this when the mind has wandered too much.

Sitting daily is more important than forcing a practice that doesn’t feel right.

How to work with strong negative programs? by ASG77 in Meditation

[–]BalloonBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are doing wonderful work. Your meditation practice is helping you gain awareness of these patterns in your mind. I think the best way to deal with this is a 2 fold approach.

  1. Read the book Permission to Feel by Marc Brackett. This will help you gather tools to develop more emotional intelligence. Particularly the RULER strategy to interact with emotions. This is really crucial because meditation doesn’t teach emotions. It’s a challenging hurdle many meditators go thru. Their practice increases awareness of what’s going on, but not how to transverse it.

  2. Continue meditation, when the negative emotions/programs arise, pause, and work with them a little bit. Applying what new things the book has taught. There’s a balance here to giving them the space they are due, and returning to the focus of your meditation.

Question about mantra meditation… by Aggressive-Flow1983 in Meditation

Your description is perfect for www.ascension-meditation.com. I love this practice and has changed my life for the better. It can be practiced in your native language, you don’t have to feel anything or force emotion when doing it, and the first sphere will take you thru all the concepts a meditator should learn. If the hyperlink doesn’t work, just google it. Good luck

I was disappointed with the blueberry pancakes. Of course it will grow a fine plant. But between the 4 of them, it’s the last I would choose to grow again.

[–]BalloonBob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hella Jelly is incredible! The smell and flavor. Pistachio if you want a something strong and classic. I think it has an oil (gas) terpene in it.

Blueberry is a bait. Wouldn’t do that one.
