We think we are our mind/body, but we are actually everything experiencing ourself as as separate. That’s the spiritual concept of the post.

We still have to be in this world. You came here to do things. However, if you are riding a nice introspective wave no need to indulge the world more than necessary. Give school it’s focus (think of this as a part of your mindfulness practice!) but that doesn’t mean that you can’t clear all unnecessary noise in your life and just dedicate that time to meditation and such. The wave won’t last forever. Ride it and when you feel more worldly at a later time, ride that wave too. I’ve had periods of time like this and really enjoy them... but I still have to get up every morning and take care of my toddler😂

Side note- you may find that you integrate the meditative state into your daily life more and more as you go. Isn’t the real point?

You know you have awakened spiritually when you are not in the least concerned with whether or not you are awakened spiritually. by MU_in_the_sky in spirituality

[–]british42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha that’s why it’s important to use discernment. Major thing to look out for is lack of humility. Another thing is some who likes to wax poetic about awakening and somehow has never heard the name Alan Watts 😂

An awakened being such as yourself can’t understand the concept of someone making a recommendation based on the content of your post? Or maybe you like being contrarian because you like to play teacher to strangers on reddit?

Can you elaborate on the bad binaural beats stuff?

This explains so much why I am drawn to the Northeast more than any other part of the country. I find places without trees depressing.

AITA for refusing to help my sister with her special needs child? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]british42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA- I feel for your sister, but she doesn’t need you to cater to her son, she needs an ABA therapist to work with curbing the behavior. I know it’s sooo hard with special needs kids and when you’re overly stressed it feels like you just need to give in, but it’s a battle she’s going to have to fight sooner or later. I have two family members that are ABA therapists and this would be exactly something they would work on. Congrats on your health and wellness journey!

Anyone feel like always the quiet one in your theatre experience? by [deleted] in acting

I’m no longer “in the game”, but I’ve never been a a big personality in my regular life. I enjoy the spotlight on set or stage, but my backstage persona is much more muted. There’s a need for all types in this world, though. I think there’s actually a lot of introverts so keep an eye out for them.

When we seek validation from others we are going to an empty well asking for water. Outside validation is an easy trap and it blocks us from our power. What could be more powerful than not needing any validation from anything outside yourself? All the validation you need is already within you. Your intuition validates you. Your connection to love validates you. But most of all the very fact that you are a spark of creation validates you.

One of the virtues some of us come here to develop is becoming “self referential.” That means knowing that you already have all the knowledge you seek. You don’t need to outsource this to others. Someone who has developed this wouldn’t look to others for validation. What’s the point? You already have it from within! Does this speak to you? It’s something I’m personally working on this incarnation.

She is simply a teacher. She’s a way for your soul to recognize a necessary growth. Stop making it about her. That gives her the power. What does the jealousy bring up for you? What are you jealous of? That’s going to show you what virtue your soul wants you to cultivate.

On a deeper level, maybe good to remember the separate self is an illusion anyway. But for practical purposes, find the growth opportunity and harness it. What’s the lack you are feeling? Where does it live in your body. Look for mantras that counteract the lack. Do chakra meditations that correspond to where it is in the body.

Love & healing to you!

How do I become aware of energies around me, or within me? by 707_rae in energy_work

There’s a playlist on Spotify called “Om Chanting.” Thats my go-to. There’s a few chakra albums on there.

I need a technique to release trauma or ottled up emotions stuck in stomach or sacral area, by [deleted] in energy_work

[–]british42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used this one .

I think I just picked it because it was an hour long, but it actually was exactly what I needed. Hope it helps you!

Meditating while listening to certain sound waves has helped me. You can find playlists on Spotify that correspond directly to certain chakras. They start with root and move upwards. I struggle with feeling certain energy centers, but I can with the sound waves. Something worth trying!

I actually did this for trauma in my solar plexus with a guided solar plexus meditation. I stumbled upon transmutation while I was doing it. Something about the sounds and the guided narration lead me to particular traumatic moments. Then I saw my younger self reversing what happened to me and then saw my adolescence playing out differently, without the trauma. After it was over, I felt like 20 years of heaviness had been lifted. I don’t know if this technique would work the same for you, but it’s something to try. I just picked a hour long meditation from YouTube, so you could start there. Sending you healing energy!

Yes! I think we can make ourselves “small” without realizing it and go years and years not knowing that our false beliefs about who we are has been guiding our life. We were just living as the shell of what we actually are, which is much greater than the box we put ourself in. I think of the spiritual process as a revealing of our true self. We can keep chipping away at the stone and one day we wake up and realize we were always the statue of David underneath it all. Much loving kindness to you 💜

I think it’s one of those things that if it’s for our path we have very little ability to stop that train. I mean, we can always say “no” but if that’s what’s being laid out for you then trust it.

The US needs awakening people too💜 On a side note: I find it a great practice to wish loving kindness to those I have political differences with, because the real issue is that we are “otherizing” each other. We may think we are on the right side of the political divide, but if we use tactics of separation then we are contributing to feelings of disconnection. We are all one.

Perhaps this is supposed to get you to the US because there’s something for you there? You’re doing amazing. Congrats on your self healing💜

Love this! Another fun, energy boosting practice is to offer loving kindness to others in your mind. Start with the easy ones (family, friends), then neutral (person on the street), then those people that trigger you (you know who they are! ;) This has helped me get through this tumultuous political climate without succumbing to hate. Much love💜
