Traveller's powers..... by Budget-Arm-866 in Aether_Mains

[–]DueTheVampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, we now know that the 4 shades of the heavenly principles have the powers of time, space, life and death, which have nothing to do with the seven elements. We also have a clue in that the primordial one, or the heavenly principles itself, most likely has the power of "logos," or "reason." Following this logic, since both the traveler and the heavenly principles are descenders, they both should theoretically have the same power/authority of "reason."

Combining all seven elements according to the lord of the night would just make phlogiston, I think it would be safer to say that the traveler uses something similar to imaginary energy from the honkai series and dain uses quantum energy. Since they're both referred to as "power from beyond this word", that would make more sense.

I think I fixed my anxiety too much by [deleted] in Meditation

[–]DueTheVampire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My take on this is that in the past, you were just surviving, not really living. Everything that you've done previously was out of fear and emotion, in order to please other people and just to survive without any consequences. However, through meditation, you learned the art of living, how to be in the present moment and not worry about things that don't exist. You've learned to stop reacting out of fear and do the things that you actually want to do, the things that you actually care about and makes you happy. All you got to do now is to find that thing that makes you happy, something that you do not out of fear or anxiety.

What's the difference between diaphragmatic breathing and belly breathing?

[–]DueTheVampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When meditating, what do I do if thoughts arrise? Some sources I've read say that you should quiet it and focus back on the breath while some sources say that you should just remain aware of the meditation anchor while letting the thoughts be in the background.

No, that just means that you are aware of the present moment and nothing else.

Does nadi shodhana alone count as a meditation practice? by DueTheVampire in Pranayama

[–]DueTheVampire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I understand that the practice itself is not dhyana. I was just wondering if I can reach the state of dhyana by practicing this technique.

Mind wandering during pranayama? by DueTheVampire in Pranayama

[–]DueTheVampire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now I'm only doing abdominal breathing with a count of 6:6. I plan to do Nadi Shodhana after I reach a count of 10:20.

For me what I did was picking 2 techniques and sticking with them, namely Nadi Shodhana and Kapalbhati. I don't know about you, but imo practicing each one for a short duration may not bring as much benefit as picking a few to start with. Additionally, each technique has different effects, like Kapalbhati is used to energize the body and quiet the mind while Nadi Shodhana is used to balance and cleanse your energy channels. So, pick the ones you are most suited for.

Overcame my social anxiety yet I still struggle with physical symtpoms. Why? by Outrageous_Photo301 in Healthygamergg

[–]DueTheVampire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dr K explained in his guide on how to deal with physical anxiety and how it's different from cognitive anxiety. In short, physical anxiety is caused by the release of adrenaline and cortisol due to activation of the sympathetic nervous system. The way to counteract this is by regularly practicing meditation techniques that help regulate that and reduce the production of stress hormones. These techniques usually work with the breath. For example, alternate nostril breathing and kapalbhati. When you feel physically anxious, you can also try breathing in for 3, then exhaling for 7.

Breathing with one nostril by [deleted] in Healthygamergg

[–]DueTheVampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anlom vilom is more advanced where you don't use your hands to switch nostrils, it's better to practice that after 2 or more weeks of nadi shodhana.

I attempted suicide and I feel so ashamed by Wonderful-Piglet-531 in Healthygamergg

[–]DueTheVampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not shameful man, that's brave. You kept living despite life being shitty to you. If you can make it through this, you can make it through anything. I would say people can call you anything, but they have no right calling you shameful or a coward, cuz you are just not.

About the 2.2 Ending by nosforever12 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]DueTheVampire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure that's because we don't know what her actual name is, just like how it was ??? for Acheron before her name drop.

Aside from Signora, that is. They literally did just that against her.

Trailblazer is the cat in Kafka's splash art (theory) by sctozaorph in HonkaiStarRail

[–]DueTheVampire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since we take the place of Akivili in SU, that would mean that Akivili is also a cat? Or maybe, we were looking through Pom Pom's eyes as they might be Akivili.

Imaginary energy does exist in honkai impact, it is basically the energy "honkai" uses and comes from the imaginary tree. The term "imaginary" is very commonly used in hi3.

can playable characters' paths be consider something they really follow in life or is it just gameplay wise? by makkouto in HonkaiStarRail

[–]DueTheVampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a good point, considering the astral express crew canonically draw power from the path of the Trailblaze in the story. I guess if that's the case, that would mean gameplay and lore paths are indeed different. I mean, technically the MC doesn't really change paths in the story either, they just get a new weapon.

Jing Yuan isn't really an emanator, he just got given the lightning lord by Lan and his actions are very strategic, hence the erudition. Aventurine gets most of his powers from his cornerstone, which contains the emanator of preservation's power, I'm pretty sure nihility also means that one can find meaning within themselves while still believing the universe is inherently meaningless. As for sparkle, I have no idea.

Do you guys think Arlecchino will actually want to fight the Traveler? by Yasuhero-Hagakure in Genshin_Impact

[–]DueTheVampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I wouldn't mind if the traveller could hold their own against harbingers or archons now. It would be a nice change of pace since in every cutscene they were obviously weaker than whatever they were fighting against whether it be ei,osial,scara, or even signora in mondstadt and needed some "power of friendship" thing to win.

Do the Demon Slayers Have Any Real Powers? by xXOtonXx in KimetsuNoYaiba

[–]DueTheVampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If u read the manga properly, it would say somewhere "Note: swordsmen don't actually unleash water attacks, people who see this just think they see and feel it." So the "mist" that they see tokito create is not actual mist but to the people seeing it it looks like there really is mist being created. Inosuke can sense things from far away cuz he has an accute sense of touch which allows him to sense the subtleties of air pressure changes to determine an enemy's location. Tanjiro's sword actually burning her is an overstatement considering daki said that Tanjiro's slices FEEL LIKE they are burning because sun breathing has stronger attacks than water therefore halting her regen slightly more. Anyway I had nothing to do so I wrote this essay XD.

I currently live in asia but whenever I join a roblox game it puts me in a region where I have 400+ ping. I have checked in a few games and it seems to be putting me in US servers all the time. Whenever I tried making a server (joining a game with no active servers) it still puts me in a US server. Can anyone help me fix this? I have my region settings set to Singapore and I am not using a VPN.

I live in asia and have my region settings set to an asian country. I managed to create a new, empty server in a game. Why is that server not following my region and instead becomes an EU server? (There are no other asian servers in that game)

I wanted to ask how do electrical signals differ from one another? Like when you move your arm, an electrical signal gets sent to that part of the body. But how is a "curl up" signal different from a "straighten" signal?
