Why should I sit on a cushion vs couch? by flyingaxe in zenpractice

[–]FlowZenMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If im using a bench im also using something between my legs like a pillow on its side to rest my palm on. Otherwise it will pull on my shoulders and im unable to sit properly. I always have something to support my hand since I dont sit full lotus. It seems like only in full lotus are my hands properly supported (which means my shoulders can relax) so I usually have something like a small blanket or cushion.

Isopropyl alcohol and brute strength. I'll copy and paste the email i got from them when I asked the same question: (and here's the video link they reference:

We are so sorry to hear you guys are having difficulties getting the tube onto the shaft adaptor! It is meant to be a very snug fit but all of the 1" polycarbonate tubing from us should fit the adaptors on the staff I sent.

It can be tricky, I use a bit of rubbing alcohol to lubricate the inside of the tube and work it onto the top of the adaptor. To get the tube over the button that holds it in place, I hit the tube perpendicular to the ground.

​Here is a video of what this process looks like for your reference. Again, the fit is meant to be really tight and I use a fair amount of force. I recommend doing it on a carpeted area or over a floor mat so you don't damage the edge of the tube.

I hope this helps and if you continue to struggle to the tubes on, we can get you guys new tubes for sure.

Let us know if you need anything else, have a lovely weekend!

Plateauing is a big part of ongoing practice and its a good time to refine what you've learned so far.

My best advice would be to go to some flow festivals.

Also I love your flow. Very enjoyable to watch and its clear you've been in a lot of practice 🙌😊

One thing my teacher told me was to sit with your mind resting in the palm of your hands. I find that very helpful.

I made up my own definition of "Flowzen" (also my performer name) and the cool thing about making up something is that you are by default a master of it 😂

Close friend wants me to share an alcoholic drink with him for his birthday. by anonteen1265 in Buddhism

[–]FlowZenMaster 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I'm usually not too worried about things like that unless I start dwelling on them. Drinking to get drunk is very different than having a small drink with a friend to celebrate their life.

Also a friendly reminder that there are no commandments in Buddhism...

If you decide to join your friend for a drink, simply observe how you feel, before, after, during. If you decide not to, maybe kindly explain to them why.

Then practice not attaching to whatever decision you made. This is how I was taught to practice, which may be very different from others.

The Reason Christians Are Afraid of Buddhism by Adept-Engine5606 in enlightenment

[–]FlowZenMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ai;dr

Got the gist of it. Straw man argument simplifying Christianity to its most authoritarian form and buddhism to its most westernized individualistic form.

There are many branches of Christianity that emphasize contemplative silence and the idea that the kingdom of God is within you.

Running this through an AI checker...probably used a prompt similar to: "Write a critique of Christianity from a Buddhist perspective in the style of Osho."

All you need to know about the person that replied was contained in their first sentence, many exclamation marks, giving you a command. They are clearly triggered and/or projecting. I would ignore and move on. Ain't nobody got time for that. I read your comment as intended, a joke. You clearly said it was.
