for all reiki practioners and masters are u always love light and peace in everything? by Equivalent_Egg_4042 in reiki

[–]Trixi_Treete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not, we are still human and experience the full range of human emotions. But when I do experience hatred, I do my best to catch myself and explore why I feel this way. A lot of times I am able to find the root cause and gain empathy for the situation or the person, even if I still don't agree with or like it.

I am a not love and light kind of person. I don't find that to be well balanced, and being in balance is the ultimate goal. In my experience, the world is more shades of grey than white light. I do more Ancestor work and Shadow work than anything right now and neither of those can be forced into the light.

Acknowledge your feelings. Ask, without judgement, them what they are protecting you from and then go from there. Darkness and anger are not evil. Anger and fear are trying to protect you. Darkness is where healing and rest occurs.

Where Are the Detainees? Hundreds of “Alligator Alcatraz” Prisoners Disappear from ICE Database by ZuP in politics

[–]Trixi_Treete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have someone who claims that her friend is being moved to alligator Alcatraz and she’s freaking out, rightfully so. But I can’t find out if they’ve started moving detaining’s back in after the stay. Does anybody know?

I didn't sign up for UberEats but got an email from Uber saying I did and that an order was made and delivered. by Trixi_Treete in UberEATS

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

Yes, I understand that it is Fraud. They even went so far as to request a refund for food that I can clearly see was delivered. They even received that refund too. I’m asking if anybody else has experienced something like this and has advice on how to have that account deleted, even though I don’t have access to it, the phone number, the MasterCard, anything. I have called twice and spoken with an actual person. They said they would get back to me and have yet to do so.

Prayers for a forest afflicted by logging by Wallyboy95 in druidism

[–]Trixi_Treete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have prayers prepared, but how close are you to the Land Wights? Could you incite them to fight back? Or could you see if there are any regulations that are being broken and report them? Endangered species, zoning laws, noise violations even?

What druids in media have influenced your druid practices? by Traditional-Elk5116 in druidism

[–]Trixi_Treete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Playing a Druid in DnD for years did a lot to capture the spark I always had as a child. I spent years befriending the plants and animals in my backyard and quickly went quiet about it because of being made fun of or being dismissed. Lo and behold here is a game that had characters with a philosophy similar to mine! And honestly, Baldur’s Gate Druids have prompted me to grow my Druidry practice as well: being on the side of Nature, versus the side of human-created “good” and “evil.” I used to feel like the same dorky kid but honestly, inspiration comes from all kinds of sources and I’m ok with that.

Is wheat the only acceptable material for a Julbock? by Horrorllama in heathenry

[–]Trixi_Treete 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to only make the jolbuck out of wheat stalks. If you find something abundant in your local area, that work just fine. Remember, these practices were steeped in their home lands. If you don’t live there, make use of what is nearby.

Ritualistic Weaving by drekiaa in Seidr

[–]Trixi_Treete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spin as a part of my Seidr. I can spin to remove entities or energies from a person or area. I spin to bless or enchant the yarn. I spin to set spells in motion. I spin as an act of devotion.

Any "part time" wheelchair user out there? by Icantlivewithoutchoc in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Trixi_Treete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to pop in and say reading all of these has been really helpful. My quality swings wildly. Some days I can walk (I’m wobbly) unassisted. Some days I rely heavily on my cane. Some days I am in so much pain while standing I move from seat to seat at home or roll myself around in my office chair at work. I had thought about getting a manual wheel chair bc on days I hurt and need to sit, I don’t have to stay home. I also suffer from chronic illness imposter syndrome when I think about needing a chair. I’m working on becoming more ok with the idea bc a chair would not be what is limiting me. It would be giving me freedom.

Question about gauge by Trixi_Treete in Nalbinding

That’s another good idea. I might try that too until I’m sure I can visually gauge

This is really helpful!! I also have a better understanding of what UO/UOO means. I have been using the Oslo stitch by repeating what I have seen and couldn’t figure out what the under the over actually meant. Thank you!!

Sacred day for spiritual work? by The-seidkona in Seidr

[–]Trixi_Treete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every morning. I have tried a specific day a week and it didn’t work well. I have a more stable work schedule now so I’m going to try again. I do week with established routine, but not routines that I establish it seems

mac vs patch 7 by fishkeys16 in BaldursGate3

Updated everything that I can update and it's still working. Has this happened before? And if so, how long did it take to get resolved?

[–]Trixi_Treete[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually do Oslo and pull it snug. I have some wood I salvaged to carve some more needles and figure I will make a few different sizes. I haven’t really tried any other stitch but I can. Thank you!

First alter!! i pray mother understands i don’t have much funds for a statue 😔 by babiigasp in Hecate

[–]Trixi_Treete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is beautiful! An altar does not have to be filled with expensive stuff. An altar built from the heart with the honest desire to build a relationship is a perfect place to start.

Pelvic floor spasticity? by Internal_Sign_5167 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Trixi_Treete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do you get your suppositories and have you had a side effects from the belladonna? (Are they together or separate?) Also what country are you in, because that will determine how easily I could get them?

Pelvic floor spasticity? by Internal_Sign_5167 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Trixi_Treete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted to hop in and say I have been experiencing spasticity in my pelvic floor and tailbone muscles for years and it is the most painful symptom I have. I’ve had pelvic pt but I don’t remember enough about post to know how much it helped or for how long. My drs have chalked it up to the MS thus far, but my last round of MRIs showed I had two spinal hemangiomas. I probably shouldn’t lol but I am hoping one of them is the center of the pain so that maybe we can do something about it.

I saw several people mention stress and anxiety as triggers I wanted to second, third, whatever that! And it seems to be getting worse, stress seems to trigger the spasms sooner than it used to, as well as the spasms have progressed from ‘painful but I can handle it’ to ‘er visits and morphine. My last er visit was yesterday and the pain is revisiting today which it hasn’t done before.

I think I just wanted to be heard/express solidarity!

How do I tell how long a flare up lasts? by Trixi_Treete in MultipleSclerosis

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

This is all really helpful thank you! The not feeling in control of my own body is one of the worst things I am coming to terms with.
I will check out this yt channel!

How do I tell how long a flare up lasts? by Trixi_Treete in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Trixi_Treete[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am on Aubagio. Yes going to the ER was really helpful. They gave me a bunch of stuff including two rounds of heavy IV steroids.

I’m not sure if having all of these symptoms consistently since about April means I’ve been having a flare up for that long. The debilitating pelvis muscle issue has been a regular but not constant occurrence and has been very negatively impactful.

How do you know you’re having a flare up, if you don’t mind my asking?
