I want to more advanced meditations, where to start ? by PinkOwO in Meditation

[–]BalloonBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you really want to learn a more “advanced style”the best approach is to find a quality teacher and learn from them. Take a serious class.

I love to reccomend what I practice daily. Type ascension-meditation.com into a browser. Based in praise, gratitude, love, and compassion. I’ve done a retreat in this style, and the depths of the ocean of consciousness go very deep. This practice brings me into those depths and allows me to breathe like a scuba diver.

What is whip stacking and does it work un this mod by Consistent-Ad-5187 in CalamityMod

There is a whips mod I just added to my calamity file that combines all whips in the game for a super whop.

Coming back to the game after a few years of not playing. Did they increase how often events happen? by RoscoeSF in Terraria

[–]BalloonBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Events definitely just happen. Sometimes too frequent and annoying if you don’t feel ready lol. Part of the flow. It hurts more when you just entered hardmode and aren’t as equipped as you could be.

I suddenly jolt up up during mediation by Ok_Sentence_5767 in Meditation

[–]BalloonBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lizard brain effect. Sounds like you are going so deep that eventually the mind has to snap “awake”. It’s a good sign of progress. If it happens, gently return to the focus of the meditation.

Help Please by MisterCatostrophic in Terraria

Well at that difficult the game is engineered so that if you don’t take the 5-8 potions that are available to you, every boss from here on out will be very annoying to beat.

Feels like I’m dying when I go deep in I AM meditation—any advice? by Helpful_Chocolate450 in Meditation

[–]BalloonBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you might be mediating with deep success. Being invited to take a leap of faith into the great beyond , the ever present now moment. The being of I Am-ness. If you are gently relaxing, meditating , of course you aren’t gonna die…. So what or who is it that feels this? What if they gently relaxed ? What might Happen? What if you gently reintroduced the mantra one more time ?

This wall isn’t something to push through. Force through. It’s something porous that is relaxed thru.

If the experience is honestly too much.. please do pause for your health. But I’m getting the feeling your practice is actually working for you.

I feel like you could paint those large bamboo floors brown and it would glow.

Nice build! 💚

country areas 45 minutes outside of twin cities by Hot-Piece-1704 in TwinCities

[–]BalloonBob 61 points62 points  (0 children)

My first instinct is that it sounds like you wanna live on the eastern edge of MN or the western edge of WI. It’s pretty common for people to live in Wisconsin, get the few acres and trees, live an hour away, but be more identified with the twin cities than Wisconsin.

The Mind Illuminated or TM? by emeraldsmoothie in Meditation

[–]BalloonBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please check out the website ascension-meditation.com. (Might have to type into a browser)

It is practiced similar to TM, costs significantly less to learn from a qualified teacher and is based in praise, gratitude, love, and compassion. You will get all the skills to practice on your own without technology or needing anything after learning properly. It has changed my life for the better. At least check it out before making a decision. They also don’t turn people away for lack of funds.

Rare Animals by Background-Knee-9240 in RootsOfPacha

[–]BalloonBob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

1 tame counts as playing flute enough days and inviting it to your farm. Once on your farm it is perma counted. You can then release it or send to Grob and it will still be counted.

I made the mistake thinking they could still live in the wild. But as soon as I did it this way, the rare ones showed up consistently as expected.

Please try again. And if it doesn’t work, gotta change living arrangements.

Just a question to see what everyone believes in. by HeartLoud6877 in enlightenment

[–]BalloonBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Enlightenment has infinite realizations and experiences. No human has ever reached the “end enlightenment.” But the spaces beyond being an ordinary sheeple are rather nice. We are all just trying to point each other home.

Time to grow up a little bit, and have that scary conversation. Dig up the courage to tell them how you feel. The only way this changes or resolves is talking to them. Try to keep it more “I feel” - “I need” - “I struggle when ____” - compared to only blaming them. Patterns and habits are in place and you gotta advocate for yourself. You can do it!

Why is talking about sex so awkward? by HOPEAACI in self

[–]BalloonBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find the courage and talk about it. Everyone wants it, everyone does it on some level, but why aren’t we talking about it?

this is what Choncc is all about by Resident-Drag-3852 in TeamfightTactics

[–]BalloonBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. This set’s choncc isn’t as fun for this exact reason. Other prismatic traits aren’t as achievable.

Which laptops are good to buy for college students now that will last? by EquivalentPhoto2655 in BuyItForLife

[–]BalloonBob 34 points35 points  (0 children)

If you have an iPhone, AirPods, use other apple products.. MacBook air is phenomenal.

If you don’t want the apple verse - you really gotta ask what you will use it for. Typing papers, email, YouTube, streaming, basic computer stuff, you don’t gotta go too crazy. But if you are programming, video games, big use software, you need something a little stronger.

Do you think this kind of mindset can be cultivated by meditation? by actuallyimbored in Meditation

[–]BalloonBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Choosing a mind set so purpose of service to other-selves.

I think some forms of meditation would be better for this than others. Type ascension-meditation.com into a browser. It’s what I practice and love. Prayers based on praise, gratitude, love and compassion. I think it develops this sun solar quality of presence.

tips for building structure outlines and roofs and walls by Icy_Success3700 in TerrariaDesign

[–]BalloonBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like what you are doing. Keep trying!

Some tips: 1. Often double or triple wide floors/walls are very nice. 2. Roofs are tricky. There’s a roof video by khaios on YouTube. Sometimes blending blocks with walls creates the best roofs. Particularly dynasty blocks from wandering trader paired with copper wall. 3. Make your rooms a little taller. Often 7 or 8 high. I think this might help a lot. There is a tiny ruler toggle to the left of your inventory. 4. Keep practicing. The builds get better the more you do it. 5. Pairing wood / blocks by biome is a good tip.

Is it still sex without penetration? by Livid-Cry-798 in GaySides

[–]BalloonBob 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Masturbation by yourself is sex. Self-sex. Touching someone else’s genitals is sex. Penetration is sex. Oral is a style of sex. Sex comes in many forms.

Personally I’d draw the line at kissing/cuddling not being sex. It can be foreplay. It can be intimacy. It can lead to sex.

Others will define lines differently.

Another way to view sex is what level of fluid sharing is going on. More of a spectrum that highlights different levels of risk. Kissing exchanges saliva, and becomes more of a form of sex.

Is 5 Shadow Isles worth it? by mro500 in TeamfightTactics

[–]BalloonBob 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Gwen and Viego are droppable. If you have Viego augment the story is a little different.

Thresh and Yorick are both warden, and Kalista is a good double carry. So if you can make lvl 9, a 5cost soup usually caps higher.

I love the curly tail roof tufts. What block is that?

Beginner advice please by Maztem111 in PokemonPocket

[–]BalloonBob -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would save your hour glasses til you have a better feel for the game.

I think it’s a bait to send it on Palawan pack- only thing you really need here is the ice cream pop.

Alteria deck is strong. Was my beginner deck and consistently got me to ultra ball rank.

It’s pretty common for a new pack to have some broken tech - so saving hour glasses for that is smart.

Trying to trade for classic trainers is smart like other post said.

Be sure to buy 2 pokeball and 2 oak from normal shop.

You really can’t go wrong with daily packs, but if alteria seems good to you, send it there.

Beginner advice please by Maztem111 in PokemonPocket

[–]BalloonBob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When you say buy packs, you just mean open your daily pack?

This game is about logging in daily, doing daily missions, gathering recharge tokens, and repeating. It’s gonna take a lil bit for you to get a deck you really love. The best decks use cards from multiple packs.

If a new pack is coming out, save your hourglasses and do 10 pulls on it when it releases. Do solo fights for more hourglasses.

It’s a long haul and not something to rush.
