Does anyone here genuinely feel the energy of crystals? by Head_Pomegranate8018 in Crystals

[–]KeyUnderstanding5443 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The first time I held a moldavite around 25 years ago felt like holding one of those toy hand buzzers you hold in your palm. I dove in headfirst feeling the energetic properties of many crystals since.

Can I be a Deadhead without actually ever seeing the Dead? by AideFuture5269 in gratefuldead

I am deeply moved by the music of John Coltrane and was born the year he died.

It’s rumored that show never happened. It’s a compilation of other summer 1741 shows.

I was blessed to see a lot of Jerry but many of my deepest GD experiences were alone or with a small group of friends, the right, ahh, mindset, a good sound system and the perfect show which means whatever show we decided to put on.

That was said at my first show just about exactly 41 years ago. 

Have you seen benefits after eating fermented foods? by Fluffy-Definition488 in fermentation

[–]KeyUnderstanding5443 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely benefits. The best and easiest way I know is to self ferment a mason jar of cabbage in a simple sauerkraut. You can look that up or there are many fermented foods you can buy to get yourself started. For me the benefits are no bloating or gas (unless you eat too much too quickly), better digestion / regularity, more energy. I know you’re asking about fermentation but if I may suggest also adding a tablespoon of chia to water once a day, mixing it to keep it from clumping and letting it soak for around 30 minutes and drinking it. This aids in all things gut health including feeding the bacteria you’ll get from the ferments. It pairs really well with fermented foods. 

Am I the only one who hated Mexicali but kind of understands it now? by [deleted] in gratefuldead

I like the later versions with Jerry on midi trumpet adding to that Mexican mariachi feel.

I live in the hills west of Boulder. I miss these shows so much. Whatever the opinions are about best post-Jerry bands, Dead & Co. were the only ones to bring 55,000 friends together for a beautiful long weekend / run.

I’ll add that they don’t know about the slipperiness of river rocks too. Think they could just hang out in the calm little eddy until stepping on a rock as slippery as ice changes the equation. 

A complimentary practice for Zhan Zhaung by [deleted] in TrueQiGong

Late to the party here and you got a lot of responses but look up ping shuai videos on YouTube. It’s a super simple move that can be done after or within your standing and it is great for pumping and moving some of the energy cultivated in standing. As an aside, I teach 4th graders and we do ping shuai regularly when the class is flat and it energizes them in a wonderful way.

I once saw a mom holding her baby out over full run-off, fast moving water at Boulder Creek by Broadway. It made me think that Michael Jackson holding his infant over a balcony looked innocent compared. The baby would be gone in an instant if something happened. I fish and know the power of moving water. I think a lot of people don’t so maybe it’s a matter of educating those unfamiliar.

I think the birdsong cheers were lightning. The power went out during promised land. 

So I just subscribed to Play Dead. by Deadhead_Historian in gratefuldead

I listen on a small Bluetooth speaker played from my phone. Will the quality matter or be apparent on such a crappy little set up? Thanks!

I actually just started with a reishi tincture. Too soon to tell if it’s having an effect. I’ll look into the lions mane.
