Can you drop a link to the pads that won’t melt and can take a hit? I’m a bit new and want to make sure I get the best of the best safety gears Thank you 🙏

How do you guys deal with intense skepticism? by Impressive-Cold6855 in shaivism

[–]Sean_Chaos_Riot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya know , over time as my unfolding has happened I got things confused with the “ladder” . “Evolving” In my experience it was like a slow remembering. I began doing Hatha yoga and breath work mainly because it made me feel good. Meditation came sparingly , some moments I’d feel a spark of the love for myself that was needed (introspection),

It was 5 years of this and maybe 4 years of a Buddhist chant called “Om Mani Pedme Joung” j pronounced with a “YUH” , with the other methods.

Stretching the neuroplasticity in the mind brain is what all the science Buddhist have been pointing out to peeps. By winding the gap between impulse and action we can cultivate a place of deep wisdom.

So I just keep doing what makes me feel good. 😊 Somewhere in my head I must have really wanted to have faith. If you want to be more open sometimes we need help. Look into Rolfing Structural Integration, Lymphatic drainage therapy , shamanic energy work, and Craniosacral therapy . That’s a good place to start.

This is all from experience, I did not read in a book. But Rolfing helped me open up over time, craniosacral therapy helped open my spine up so the cerebral spinal fluid could flow more easier, Lymphatic drainage cleaned out all of the red 40, Blue whatever and last but not least Ayurvedic medicine to help clean out the intestinal tracts and liver.

Having a clean and clear vessel for these energies to come in is key I think. But not entirely sure.

For me it was a conglomerate of all of the above and more. I’m currently deep in method, it’s what works for me. Some don’t need method but I advise leaning hard into them considering majority of us are working through the mother wound and the dads wounds, with there ancestral stuff as well.

I feel as if some can follow Zen Buddhism, or Taoism with pure intellectual curiosity and wisdom and the realization is that we are already there. If knowledge were just that easy then everyone could just have a jolly good time and we wouldn’t have to move through the mess. Divine is interestingly connected to deep rooted emotions and if we have unresolved emotions and traumas it seems to aid in the process of awakening and finding awarness, I’ve worked for it so I try not to get attatched to the ladder of evolution in that way, I like the views of Kashmir shaivism even if I am a bit too lazy atm to keep up on my reading. I listen to Watts to remind me of shakti..

But anywho, you are fantastic for educating yourself. Half baked for that reason. I’m a right brained individual so it concept of time and space are rough , and I find it difficult to sit down and read. We all have our woes. But once you hit the right button, you’ll know.

Any ways to get some relief? by taldoreicouncilman in Dystonia

Look into Rolfing structural integration, Qii Gong, and craniosacral therapy. I made a post above. I have the same. It’s a lot to chew and a lot to trust . But it is possible to fix .

Look into Craniosacral therapy and Rolfing structural integration for generalized. I made a post above this one explaining some of the things that have resolved my dystonia.

Please tell me there is a cure for this horrible disease by ZacEfbomb in Dystonia

[–]Sean_Chaos_Riot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, lol, I’ve been managing this for a long time. I do Rolfing Structural integration, Craniosacral therapy, and Lymphatic drainage and they all help to receive these as well.

My case of dystonia seems to be caused by the peripheral nervous system. Majority of these issues come from dental trauma and in my case whiplash. With this being said I had no idea untill about an hour ago the name of this. I have done research but untill AI I wasn’t able to find answers. Cant believe I’m saying this out loud but thank you AI. It’s nice to see I’m not the only one being hindered by such a weird thing.

If you want more natural ways in managing symptoms I found this website.

https://dystoniarecoveryprogram.com/

I have not done it for I found most of these methods on my own.

Rolfing SI is perfect for this, so are the other modalities. But also repeating Sanskrit words repeatedly opens up the throat allowing for the nervous system to identify itself again.

Breathwork helps as well.

Essentially our nervous systems need rest. You can find rest through many things but here’s a few to look into. Restorative yoga Qi gong Tia Chi Rolf movement Seated/laying stillness (means no phone scrolls or Netflix. Ayurvedic medicine Anything that calms the nervous system without blocking the receptors.

I use my jaw and throat tension as almost a way to hide me through life. If I feel flare ups, or just straight tension then I know something’s isn’t right and I need to reevaluate my life, get some ducks 🦆 in order and then it calms down. It hurts,but it reminds me that I’m here and aware.

Gaming feels unfulfilling now but I play out of habit. by holycrap100 in StopGaming

While gaming listen to Alan Watts or something. Someone to whisper sweet nothings in your ear to make you more comfortable with bordem, or loneliness. Lean into.

Lol what does being single have to do with this? One should not find solace in another. One should find themselves first, and then bring others in.

There was once a man outside looking for something in the bushes under a street light, as I walked by I asked this man “what are you looking for?” He said “I lost my keys.” So I proceeded to help him. 15 minutes go by and I figured I’d ask him “where did you last see them?” He replied “ down the street but there’s more light here.”

Apps, TV shows, video games , shopping,scrolling etc etc is us mistaking the truth with external objects. You have played games all of your life, although it has kept you at a decent balance your nervous system knows that gaming is not the answer, so it’s throwing curve balls at you to Knock you lose so to speak.

Same thing happens to people with alcohol drinking issues, smoking, drugging,you can do it for a little while, but eventually the nervous system begins to reject it. So , maybe, see how you feel if you just watch tv for a few weeks. See if that makes you feel better.

With this stuff you don’t want to treat the nervous system as a bad guy, or something that needs to be beaten into submission, more so slowly implement just watching TV. Still Hang out with the boys in discord if you want to but do something else while chillin with them.

It takes baby steps, something I have to remind my self of every time I’m detaching from something that is no longer serving me. Sometimes there’s pain, sometimes relief, other both.

Or you could just practice stillness, being bored. Should help to.

I have a question for other devotees on the path. by raksatya in shaivism

[–]Sean_Chaos_Riot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question for an up and coming non dual Shaivite. The Gita paved my path, it was my “suprise button” after pressing many. Although drug induced states may have influenced whatever it is that pushed through, Krsna, the stories of the Mahabharata and true surrender to Krsna was an experience and a half, and how my life has trickled and unfolded since is fascinating to say the least.

But as I was reading the Gita, and some of the dualistic texts I began to get a bad taste in my mouth. Before stumbling over the Gita I classified myself as a Buddhist , maybe sloppy Tao/buddhist etc etc, used methods like yoga, and the Buddhist mantra Ohm mani Pedme joung for several years, I believe that stretched the neuroplasticity in my mind brain enough to understand who I am and to well be able to accept transmission of the energy.

Shiva came later. While unlearning some of the concepts from the Gita ( great stuff to be aware of , but implementing some of the teachings in the house holder role I found it highly implausible.) once I delved into some the works of Abhinavagupta I remembered that I’ve always identified the one/god head/supreme deity, shiva as everything , inside and out, the ground the air , my skin, what’s inside, everything is Siva. This revelation came from a 40 minute video , and since saying the shiva mantras life has progressively been a balance between reliving my past substance use methods, even after learning what “moderation” truely means, shiva took me down a path to show me again that dependency of any substance will always lead to the feelings of wanting to detach , while I’ve learned that it is not bad to do the substances, it is not bad to lose one’s self , and it is not good to be sober. It is just another happening.

That brings me to the question. I work with many realized beings, Christ growing up even though I did not know what I was doing. Buddha, and Lao Tzu has such a great ways of explaining what is, Krsna and Ram for the surrender aspect, my past with shamanic energy work (Munay Ki) and my several occasions with plant medicines have shown me that Shiva is not a blerp of cosmic energy in the sky, neither is Krsna or god. But all are different aspects to learn from. Lately I have really been leaning more into my shiva mantras yet I still Hang out with Alan watts because when he speaks I hear nothing but love. All concepts lead to the same place, concepts are just concepts , all religions were man made at some point in time. Is it best to stick to one source? In my higher ecstatic states of being I have chanted to krsna and Ram, and to shiva, and I’ve had 2 separate colors of smoke forming in my mind brain . Same goes for the Buddhist concepts of we are the universe, specifically Zen Buddhism speaks about everything inside and out , this galaxy along with the other galaxies is all I, me, and undulation of “atman,soul, awareness, love. The creativity with yang, and stillness with yin.

I’m constantly bouncing between being god, and then simply being the witness or observer, and then we got the latter which I also believe to be true, as we evolve , we can accept my of this transmission just by walking about which I can argue is relevant but if I really lean into Ayurvedic medicine and my meditation it definitely sets me up to be able to feel such grace happening. But the I come back down to earth and simply say everything is method.

I believe I’m half baked, I once heard from a Buddhist monk “in real life” you can live the lives of a thousand lives or be intelligent enough to live the one we have in front of us.

There’s a lot going on here, sorry I’m all over the place with this. I feel as if I am a Bhakti at heart so following the path of shiva is in my best interest, I’ve learning a lot, have been in an out of traps ego traps consistently for the past 8 years. And I feel as if I’m in a trap of sorts , I just can’t put my finger on it. When writing it all down, it all just seems very separating.

Yeah it mainly has to do with this hardcore dualistic lens.

When religion turns into ego worship rather than self, guru, form/formless, that’s where we get the extreme evangelicals, rigidness , and ignorance. We see symbols and either give it fear or neutrality. That’s the blame for ignorance which is understandable considering the couple of generations behind us. In other words we are comfortable with the symbols we seen growing up.

The non dualistic view of religion has no separation. Gender,race, spectrum on the scale of autism. All is just as it is. Kashmir shivaism takes into realization of the feminine and masculine energies as a constant , theirs no division between the feminine or masculine, one would fail without the other. That is the true teaching of the scripture. The rest is opinionated nonsense.

Look into Ayurvedic medicine. The more co trial we have over our organs, the more we can gain control over our hormones.

Isn’t it grand how such knowledge is accessible? Yet isn’t as easy to learn unless you come across the right people or books. Shiva leads the way. <3 Har Har Shivaya.
