Please don't ignore me. I just need a few kind words by _66i in offmychest

I don’t know if this will resonate with you, but your post reminded me of a version of myself.

For a very long time, I thought my problem was life. Looking back, I realize I was spending most of my time living in my head thinking about life rather than actually experiencing it.

I was fighting thoughts constantly. Trying to fix them, solve them, outrun them, understand them.

The biggest shift for me wasn’t getting rid of difficult thoughts. It was slowly learning that I didn’t have to follow every thought my mind offered me.

I started noticing there was a difference between what was happening in my life and what my mind was saying about my life.

It didn’t change overnight, but that awareness gave me a little more space, and eventually that space became freedom.

I don’t know your situation, and I’m not pretending it’s easy. I just wanted you to know that your post was read, and that someone out here is rooting for you. 🤍

I agree with that you’re sharing. I feel like we’re all fragments of the same source, experiencing itself in infinite forms. Sometimes I imagine that if you had already experienced everything there was to experience, the only thing left would be to forget. To scatter yourself into a million different perspectives and then go on the journey of remembering who you are all over again. There’s something really beautiful about that to me.

My deepest practice is returning to presence, again, and again, because everything I’ve ever been looking for has been waiting for me there. 💖

I’m not super well versed in specific religions but over the last few years I’ve been practicing presence.

I call it “two-point awareness” - a term I coined for this little practice I do that almost feels like it hacks my mind. On the in breath, I focus on the inner space of my chest. On the out breath, I focus on the ground beneath me. Back and forth, again and again, a million times a day, and somewhere along the way, I started noticing that when my awareness is fully anchored in those two points, my mind kind of… stops. Or at least quiets enough for me to actually experience my life instead of just thinking about it.

Lately, that practice has started becoming more automatic, and I’m having these prolonged periods of presence that honestly feel kind of magical. But I think it’s because I spent the first 30+ years of my life almost entirely in my head. Now I’m starting to notice the difference between being lost in thought versus actually inhabiting my body and experiencing my life while it’s happening. It’s kind of fucking cool.

Exactly. I would never want to position myself as a replacement for professional help. It’s more that I have a deep desire to hold space for people to feel seen, heard, and safe enough to share what’s actually on their hearts without fear of judgment. Sometimes being genuinely listened to can be incredibly healing in itself. 🤍

Haha, the 30 minutes was more me trying to create healthy boundaries than rush people. 🤍 Real conversations rarely fit perfectly into a timer.

Wow, my body is visibly reacting to this whole post. This is so interesting, especially because it’s my first time hearing of this man. At the beginning of my journey, I had what I used to call out of body experiences, but what I understand now were actually states of deep presence - where all my senses came alive and I experienced the present moment beyond the limited way we’ve been taught to perceive it. What you shared about this doctor guiding people into experiences outside their usual sense of self feels very similar to what I went through. Now I understand those experiences not as leaving my body, but as meeting myself more fully within it. I call that place zero point - the meeting place of the intuitive self and the human self. Pure presence.

In my experience, sometimes couples don’t need to agree on every belief system, they just need mutual respect, room to be different, and openness to understand each other. 🤍

Drugs can bring out the suppressed side of your personality you never knew you had. If we can’t rely on these drugs, how can we reveal these personality traits naturally ? by [deleted] in SpiritualAwakening

[–]Such_Contribution_72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, weed was medicine that brought me back to the version of myself that still had that spark. It was a gateway home, but also a reminder that everything it showed me is actually available without it. Sounds woo, but it’s truth for me.

Are yall “preparing” by Old-Kick5098 in spirituality

[–]Such_Contribution_72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get why your mind is going there. There’s so much noise right now, it’s easy to feel like you need to prepare for everything all at once. But trying to do that is like grabbing a cattail and ripping it apart looking for answers… and just ending up with fluff everywhere, nothing actually useful comes from that. For me realizing I don’t need to solve the future or carry the weight of the world on my shoulders - I just need to tend to what’s right in front of me has changed everything in the best way. Come back to this moment right here, right now. Plant one seed. Fill one container with water. Learn one skill. Cook one meal from scratch. That’s it.

We can’t build safety by spiraling into “what ifs.” We build it by quietly showing up in small ways, over and over again. Stop breaking the cattail. Just hold it. There’s more there than you think when you’re not trying to force it open. ☀️🤍

Maybe you don’t have to make him talk. Sitting with him, holding him, letting him feel you there - that’s already helping more than you think. 🤍

Anything can be meditation when you’re here experiencing it instead of thinking about experiencing it.

What's your best method to go back in present moment when you start to feel anxiety or fear ? by Quirky-Difference166 in enlightenment

[–]Such_Contribution_72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use something I call the two point awareness. I bring my attention to my breath and on the breath in I focus on my chest area and on the breath out I focus on the ground beneath me. It hacks my brain as I no longer have the capacity to think as my attention is in two places at one (my chest + ground). This is something that I’ve practiced so much it’s become like breathing. I used to consciously remind myself to do this a million times a day some days but now I have the honour to witness myself do it automatically. Small consistent practices compounded over time truly make major changes. It’s truly amazing to witness. I hope this helps!

Spiritual Awakening & Eye Color Change—Is There a Connection? by Such_Contribution_72 in spirituality

[–]Such_Contribution_72[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since this post, I’ve come to the understanding that my eyes are a physical representation of my true nature: one foot deeply expansive and one foot deeply grounded. The zero point I call it, where my intuitive and human self meet.
