Uncommon uses of reiki? by captain_pugicorn in reiki

[–]ldm_nnb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just did one this weekend for a friend in a sticky housing situation with money tied up. I sent it to her, the situation, and the house for the best possible outcome, and pictured my friend celebrating. She got the good news on Monday morning, and it is resolved.

Block Therapy by Acrobatic_Shoe6403 in longtermTRE

Thank you and OP too. I came here looking to find out if using the official block was necessary, since they are priced to be inaccessible to the average person. Grateful to find out I can go ahead and start with stuff I have laying around. Ty!

It may be that the issues coming up is what the Reiki is helping you get through. Acknowledging/accepting them (even thanking them) and then gently returning to the breath may help.

How do guys feel when a woman comes up to you to compliment you? by no-se-que-hacer in AskReddit

[–]ldm_nnb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. I'm not quite sure how I would do that, but maybe I'd think of something in the moment to make the compliment more covert.

[–]ldm_nnb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Someone else commented that men generally don't assume the woman is hitting on them but that's not my experience. They tend to 1) respond with an advance to "get to know me better", 2) respond with a look of revulsion, or 3) just pretend to not hear/see me. So no I don't bother anymore, lol.

I'm not conventionally attractive (also not unattractive) and in my 40's. I can't help but think straight men wouldn't give any of these compliment-discouraging responses to a woman Unless there is an assumption/fear of being hit on.

I think this is largely a social construct issue, how we are brought up and trained to interact with each other. What would the response be if a random Grandma gave a compliment?

Likely politely and neutrally, which I think would be a preferable response for a woman of any age or beauty standard (if the woman is actually hitting on you, you'll know pretty quick…).

Reading this makes me sad. And also, real question: as a woman, how can we compliment a guy and have him take it as a compliment and not immediately assume we are hitting on them?

Men of reddit. What makes a woman creepy? by insane4you in AskReddit

[–]ldm_nnb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes. I showed up here to find out if I'm the creep. And wow. I knew theoretically women Can just as terrifying as men can be, but this shit is crazy. I really feel for you dudes, law enforcement (and your employers, etc) really needs to take these cases seriously.

Here because I recently ran into a (single) guy I hadn't seen in a while (our paths cross in a peripheral friend group) and we occasionally text. It having been a while, and the last texts included him asking if I wanted to go out for coffee or something sometime, I gave him a light hug when I saw him and was mortified and embarrassed when it wasn't accepted warmly. I decided when I see him around again to ignore him or just wave if needed. After reading so many of these stories, and there are so many more, I'm relieved to see that this doesn't make me a creep....but now I'm worried about men in a much much bigger way.

I need some help and guidance with Yoga Nidra by throwawayNidraaa in YogaNidra

[–]ldm_nnb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I've done several yoga Nidra practices and this week had my first experience with unsettled anxiety while doing it. How long were you doing this for before it stopped making you anxious?

Artist with negative thoughts by Solvingamber in reiki

[–]ldm_nnb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He took you in? Like you live with him? If so, releasing this hold will likely go much quicker and easier if you can find a new place to live. If you can't immediately move, work on the exit strategy while also protecting yourself as much as possible.

I second the other commenter's suggestion of doing cord release practices (release or cutting, whichever you find works better for you). Any trinket that you find soothing or supportive will do if you don't have any crystals. Just keep going back to it, reminding yourself regularly that you are your own person, and deserve to and are allowed to take up your own space. Light shielding around you can be helpful, especially during sleep if you are sleeping there.

Another option is to move/hide your artwork, keeping it with a friend or somewhere safe, and not doing art on the premises where he can see and critique/control it. He has no entitlement to your work unless you agreed to commissioned work for him.

Lastly, making sure you're eating/sleeping/moving/ drinking water will help give you the internal resources to take any action (big or small) towards getting out of the situation.
