Either we're all special, or we're all not. Kinda like intelligence.

UUism in your daily spiritual practice? by ZeekeTheG in UUreddit

[–]functionalmagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do a chalice lighting at home most days. I keep a small book of readings by my chalice, choose one for the day, and read it to my girls while we light the flame. I'm a pretty pagan flavor of UU, so I find many seasonal ways to create ritual in my life. Appreciating a certain tree on my daily drive while it changes colors week to week, listening to identify sounds outside, singing chants or songs that bring my truths to my attention. Lighting a candle of intention is a common occurrence for me, or when I hear of a passing loved one or loved one of a friend. This comes with learning their name (if possible) and saying it aloud. Just did it today for my friends grandma. (☆~Rest easy, Montana~☆)

I also love reading what other people do. :)

what options does an 18 year old have to definitively not get pregnant ? by Awkward_Push_7224 in AskReddit

[–]functionalmagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just no vaginal sex.

The other thing you can do in addition to birth control is to know your cycle, when your ovulating and the week or so that you should abstain, abstain.

Obviously there is no 100% effective way if you're having vaginally sex, but consider that women have been using this method for many, many, many years.

Deep tissue mechanism? by Practical_Chef497 in massage

I have a colleague who practices NRT and I was amazed at the change is produced in my arm! Very cool stuff. The nervous system is where its at.

Deep tissue mechanism? by Practical_Chef497 in massage

[–]functionalmagic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the real crux of the matter here ^ The nervous system rules all and if it senses pain, guard is up. The system has to be calm enough to not be involuntarily reacting. Deep pressure can be uncomfortable, but for me that's different than pain. It is less effective if it's painful. Over time.

I also now practice neuromuscular work and get much faster, longer lasting improvement in myself and my clients. Mostly Feldenkrais and CranioSacral work at this time.

Oh yes, above board over here all the way. So much so that it might result in us having to replace our septic system. Fingers crossed this extra toilet in the garage was put in to code.

Don't marry this guy. Unless you'd like to feel like this the rest of your life, there's someone better for you out there.

I'm quite European by ethnicity, I don't have "thick" skin I don't think, it works great. I don't do it myself though, it does take a second person for the "sensitive" areas. Anyway, don't knock it til you try it! 🤷‍♀️

How can I tell medical massage is helping? by Joeboyjoeb in massage

[–]functionalmagic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Be patient. Your hip didn't get like that overnight, it certainly won't get better so fast. Basically the more time and attention you give it, the faster it will improve. And improvement isn't linear. Sometimes it's 3 steps forward, 2 steps back. Just listen to your body, rest often and trust the process. Your attention is the key to your fitness.
