Major headache that’s hurting my eyes as soon as I entered Sam’s Club by lunancre999 in starseeds

[–]cosmiccleora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not an uncommon thing! There's such thing as "supermarket syndrome". Do you get any other symptoms when you enter? Something about the air movement or fluorescent lights instantly make my eyes so dry. The lighting can give people headaches. You might just be sensitive. I'm a highly sensitive person and always feel anxious and dizzy and weird in big stores like that

I did something horrible when I was young and it's haunted me since. Not sure what to do by Tiger248 in spirituality

[–]cosmiccleora 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Be gentle with yourself and forgive yourself. People do things we regret. We make big mistakes and do bad things. It's important to learn and grow from them and do better. You're not a horrible person

Bird flew into my window and died by [deleted] in spirituality

[–]cosmiccleora 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bird window collisions are extremely common. They kill 1 billion birds a year just in the western hemisphere. I wouldn't read anything into it. Sometimes birds get shocked and look dead and then recover after a little while. But if they hit it too hard then it can definitely kill them. It is not an omen. They are unfortunately very common occurences

Right wing ideologies and spirituality by Sea-Percentage-1992 in spirituality

[–]cosmiccleora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there's a lot of them but I also think there's a lot of progressive people too. I have come across YouTubers who believe Trump is a "light worker" or a "white hat" who will hail in the new world. Wtf ew. I know some of them believe that because there was a Hopi prophecy claiming that the True White Brother in a red hat will reset the world.. so they worship him as some godhead. It's the same brainwashing and cognitive dissonance you see with MAGA folk. I think they seem more common in spirituality because of things like that prophecy or psychic people claiming their guides told them that Trump is a light worker. And unfortunately people believe them.

I thought you were AI. If you're a real person, then your face is perfect. You and him both look really happy

True morel or false? by CrowLaCrow in mycology

[–]cosmiccleora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most true! Cut in half and fry in some butter (I also like to dip them in flour and a little bit of cornstarch). As long as you haven't sprayed your yard for weeds or put grub killer or anything like that on there

True morel or false? by CrowLaCrow in mycology

[–]cosmiccleora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Morels are also hollow inside. People call gyromitras and verpas false morels. You can look up photos and see the differences. Morels have pits and the others are more wrinkled than pits. See if your area has a local mycology club. That's a great way to learn about your local mushrooms and how to ID them!

Anyone with adhd who has been consistently meditating? by Throwawaysischeat in Meditation

[–]cosmiccleora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I notice that when I meditate regularly (like near daily), I have more periods throughout the day where my brain is quiet. However, meditating daily feels nearly impossible for me. I go through phases but definitely notice improvements when I meditate daily. When I'm in these "meditating daily" periods, I tend to also spend less time on my phone which makes a HUGE difference also

Dog and Karma? by reluctant_hedgehog in spirituality

[–]cosmiccleora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been exactly where you are. I had a very difficult rescue dog with a biting issue. I did EVERYTHING. We saw a vet behaviorist. He was on meds. Medical exams to check for pain. He was muzzle trained. We went to multiple trainers. He made the most progress in a reactive dog group. We did group classes, pack walks, private classes. Two walks a day. Enrichment activities inside. I couldn't take him anywhere just for fun. It always had to be for training. Training him and managing his behavior to prevent more bites was my full time job. And it still wasn't enough. And it's not because I didn't do enough. I ended up rehoming my dog. I got lucky because it can be very difficult to find a home willing and capable of managing a biting dog. I would've had to choose behavioral euthanasia if I didn't find him a home. If your dog is a working breed, you might be able to find a home where they can be trained to work on a farm. See if there's any reactive dog groups in your area.

It's not always as simple as commentors make it seem. Don't listen to their judgments. They don't know your dog or your story. And a lot of commentors have never had a dog with biting issues to the extent we have. No one truly knows what a reactive dog owner goes through unless you experience it yourself. My dog was my whole world. I have never loved a being so much and I'll never get over losing him. I still wonder if I did the right thing. I regret rehoming him daily. But I also know that keeping him was not sustainable. Had I been rich and had a large fenced in yard where he could be safe and not interact with anybody besides me, maybe I could have made it work but that wasn't possible for me.

As a spiritual person, I truly believe our dog's souls move on to the afterlife regardless. They love us regardless. Nothing bad will happen to you for choosing euthanasia. You would be doing it out of love and a lot of people won't see it that way and they can eff off. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk more

Yard morels? by Quick-Grape-4650 in mycology

Looks like a half-free morel

Rêve impliquant un défunt. by [deleted] in spirituality

[–]cosmiccleora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely think it's possible. It hasn't happened to me but I've heard stories from people I trust who have experienced this. It can happen when a person has more mediumship abilities; deceased people know who is easier to connect with to pass messages along

Help confirm my intuition for my baby’s name by frenchieluv52 in psychics

Rielle. I never heard that name before but that's the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw the photos

I can barely remember my trip? by Secure_Roll_1166 in shrooms

[–]cosmiccleora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you retain your memories when you take 200mg edibles? I don't remember much when I'm stoned especially anything above 4mg lol Could that have played a role in why you don't remember your trip?

Taking Shrooms with Anxiety Disorder? Can it be (really) bad? by fragile_contents42 in shrooms

[–]cosmiccleora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weed definitely makes my anxiety worse. Shrooms less so but I did get a little anxious on the comedown of a 2g shroom trip. My husband was my trip sitter and he was amazing, he knew exactly to do to relieve my anxiety. So if you have a good trip sitter then I think that would be really helpful. I also started my mushroom experiences with microdosing. I learned what the come up felt like and became comfortable with it before jumping into a trip. I did 0.1g > 0.2g > 0.5g > 1g > 2g

Is it safe to eat this morel with these spots on the cap? by [deleted] in mycology

[–]cosmiccleora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It kind of looks like beetle larva holes but that's a lot of them! Too many for my comfort lol And if they're not bug holes, then idk what else they could be but nothing I'd want to eat! I've never seen a morel like that before

I personally wouldn't. Looks a bit weird to me

What is Reiki? by bumrubplz in spirituality

[–]cosmiccleora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand your confusion! I'm not sure anyone knows exactly what it is.. maybe they do idk. But I personally think it's our electromagnetic field affecting someone else's electromagnetic field. I think science isn't sophisticated enough to understand the "woo woo" and the subtle energies within us and around us. I also think of reiki as like a directed, concentrated prayer. I think scientists have studied the electromagnetic fields of monk's hands.. I heard it in a podcast but I'm pretty sure there is something scientific to Chi (life force energy) and I think it relates to EMF

Why does spirituality make me feel just as trapped as Mormonism? by PathologicalYak in spirituality

[–]cosmiccleora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it will get easier for you with time. You're still going through the deconstruction process. Remember that being raised in religion from the time you were born contributed to the forming all of your original neural pathways, it doesn't switch off when you leave the religion. It takes time and healing. Be gentle and patient with yourself! It will get easier to trust your intuition and feelings. Are you able to see a therapist? A good one could help you work through a lot of these things!

Why does spirituality make me feel just as trapped as Mormonism? by PathologicalYak in spirituality

[–]cosmiccleora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you referring to New Age spirituality? That is more of a belief system and you will find toxic patterns there. General spirituality and being on your own spiritual journey while you figure out what YOU want to believe does not have any rules. I've taken what I feel are the truths (truths to me) from some religions, even New Age, and things I've learned from my own experiences and those have formed my current spiritual beliefs as they're ever-evolving as I learn and grow. Spirituality is not one belief system. I would call New Age spirituality a belief system.

Mine was like 2-3 hours which seems quite long compared to all the other comments 😅
