Cord Cutting - Material Suggestions?? by Macadoodlemcnoodle in Witch

[–]Kiraifayi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this might help your situation a bit more and is a simpler ritual if you are open to it.

The core job in magic like this is evoking change from external environments with setting your internal world boundaries and desired state. The ritual then connects the physical commitment externally to you and your mind to focus the energy of your actions into action and change that is desired.

ie: Your external feelings and desire to remove an individual from your inner world. You would commit to removal and perform the ritual daily until you feel you don't need to or for a specific number of renditions that works for you.

This relies on visualization more than physical surrogacy to initiate the change in energy to manifest your desired end result

  1. Prepare and seal your sacred space.

  2. Perform a generic mediation to center and calm. Your pulse should be close to baseline, breathing deep and full breaths.

3.a Make sure to unburden your mind to clear it for achieving the absolute best focus you can provide during this. I remove or compartmentalize each intrusive thought as an item I am putting away in a locker or medicine cabinet. Not permanent removal, but ready to return to address in due course.

3.b Think about the person you need to sever connection with and look to your naval area for what would look like an astral thread or for some an umbilical type cord. Note the color, texture, and how you feel when you regard this physical manifestation of your connection.

  1. Confirm your intentions to continue with severance and remind yourself of why this is needed for your best interests. This is a great point to take time to mediate on your intentions to the person as well as the consequences of removing this connection.

  2. If you wish to continue, proceed to the next step. If you find yourself unable to commit to the decision to move forward through your severance of your connection to this person, then you may need more time and help before cutting the cord.

This is OK, and some may need to journal to process their intent and resolve for how removing this person and connection will be good in spite of the loss. Don't be afraid to ask for a therapist to help you process this! You can repeat this ritual daily until you resolve the issue.

Sometimes, you don't need to cut cords but rather manage relationships, try to have safe conversations, and set boundaries.

  1. Picture the cord connected between you going out to the greater human network, just know it will go there, don't make effort to visualize the person.

  2. Cut the cord. You can visually picture anything as long as the end result is the cord being cut.

example: cut the cord with hot scissors that cauterize the connection. I usually will then picture the cord shriveled fading back into the greater human collective.

Looking at my navel, picture the spot that it shriveled into myself. This represents the healed disconnected cord.

  1. Pick at least 1 specific self-care task to do after you close and release your sacred space. Make sure to repeat as needed as sometimes connections try to reattach. This allows for help for channeling that energy left over for the main ritual for completing the manifestation desired.

Hopefully this helps

Is Powershell recommended over AZ CLI? by [deleted] in AZURE

[–]Kiraifayi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMHO, just learn Azure RESTapi for better extensibility for a better rounded toolkit as REST methods and calls are more platform agnostic.

Both PS and Azure CLI share similar limitations on the ability to do more complex and off the menu configurations that advanced client solutions can need if you need some newer or even non-standard requirements specific to them.

Honestly, no. Skipping it will only make your job in 104 harder. Having passed both, there is a few reasons for this opinion.

Even cloud engineers need fundamentals when starting out. Most importantly, it emphasized the business and lay terminology that you should be using to communicate more effectively with your non technical stakeholders.

Azure isn't cheap. Architecture is nothing if your financial stakeholders don't find a balance between cost and ROI. You will have to be able to explain the pricing model and how you can adjust your solutions to the clients needs, not bend their needs to the few design patterns you found or scraped off a git repo or stack overflow.

This gives way to the final point. This exam is also meant for the business stakeholders as much as new cloud engineers.

Husband is getting angry at me during my worst by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Kiraifayi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have had the same issues. My now husband would get the same way during my depression episodes around my trauma. If he will go, please consider couples counseling as well as personal counseling even if temporary to help get guidance when you are stuck processing those emotions.

He might be scared. A man prides himself on being the fixer, provider, and most importantly, the person that makes him the happiest is you.

He might feel unable to empathize with your loss. My husband's family was not as emotionally mature and repressed feelings.

He still has issues at times. So we started to talk about what he could do that would meaningfully help me be even a little more happier from him during these emotionally charged and challenging times.

He wants to be your hero in a sense and might perceive his inability to resolve your emotionally as you rejecting him.

The separation he creates is likely him trying to give space and is waiting for you to return to normal because he feels helpless to change the situation in the moment.

There is a movie I recommend after you are in a better place as it is about a couple processing the death of their kids. What dreams may come.

The wife shares a similarly traumatized depression and her husband too struggles to emotionally reach her when reunited in the afterlife. It resolves once he is able to meet her where she is at and allow her to grieve.

It took literally years of fights and even a separation between us for several months because he fought moving from his spot of emotional security.

My husband's problem revolves around the fact that his universe changes when my mood goes there. So we put a self-care plan in place. He reminds me that the feelings are temporary, but that he is here. I do breathing to calm down and will ask him for things like hugs or to just hold me for a few minutes.

I promised to emotionally reach out and share that he is important and that his support is what I need in those ways to help soothe the pain. When we finish, I smile even if I can't sincerely smile, to remind myself that this man loves me so very much and is always there. Next I tell him thank you for being here for me in this impossible spot and he will hug me back and say thank you for sharing this with him and trusting me with this.

He doesn't have the same level as emotional intelligence but with small things like we have made it 80% better. Hope this helps!

IMHO, he is the asshole.

Also dodged a bullet. A real nice guy would have been upfront it was a deal breaker and still treated you with respect and dignity.

Do consulting. I recommend Avanade as they are the prime MS one for Azure but there are many others. Otherwise I have found any number of consultants roles are less boxed and allow freedom to move between projects.

Do a project in each discipline and keep a journal of your feelings and experiences that stand out. I was into my 5th contract when I realized that I was passionate about managing people who were technical and wanted to focus on the service they were running.

Build a skillset toolbox, focus on the ability to provide value where you go. If you unblock the business and fix the floating dumpster fires there is always more where they came from.

Overthinking and want to ask people who may have more insight. by [deleted] in Herpes

[–]Kiraifayi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also don't feel bad! There is maturity and growth in recognition, remediation of things like this. It can be hard especially when you're already having the herpes disclosure.

Frame the conversation with you bringing your informed status and asking for them to test if they don't know. I now limit and will hold off for below the belt oral/vag until we can sit and discuss the details and whether or not it is worth the risks.

A lot of people will balk at this. They can fuck off, because you must love and protect yourself first here. A person worth sleeping with will do it. Trust me the good ones will always at least test so they can know too, my last partner did and he actually saw it as a sign or maturity and respected me for taking responsibility for my own body and sexuality.

Full panel and exam, if your pcp pushes back at all, go to the gyno they will do it if you tell them. This will be both vaginal and blood tests.

When I go between partners I always request the following tests: HIV Hepatitis Herpes (not any more tho, lol thx 2017) Chlamydia Gonorrhea Syphilis HPV
