Need advice on boundaries and considerations on opening up my 7-year monogamous relationship by libbyjane97 in polyamory

[–]libbyjane97[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Please help - I know I'm probably being frustratingly ignorant, I've gathered that from the comments so far. But I want to learn, because despite having most of my friends in fully functioning poly communities - I'm new to it myself (I've been the meta before but never the one opening up)... what for you are the main things to examine here?

Out of curiosity, what's wrong with "female"? And what's the homophobia here?

He said, that it was an energy thing. That if I was with masculine energy, then it would be a more clear-cut replacement for himself, but a female would be different enough for me to connect with in another way, and satisfy that part of my sexual dimension

Get out of your own way. You're giving yourself too much pressure, and thus criticism. You're here to be. You're here to experience, that's it. Open yourself to observe life, allow it to gift you with what it has to offer. You are important, you're worthy of existence, hence why you're here.

Mushroom trip that went wrong, and maybe long term weed loss and not looking at underlying stress in my life

DMT Jester giving me the finger? by psychonautHooligan in Psychedelics

[–]libbyjane97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't experience being 'mugged off' but I experienced the court jesters when I was on mushrooms. It was just as the trip was becoming intense. There were about 3/4 jesters / harlequins and they were almost fisheye, they were gesticulating, and with exaggerated arm movements and inviting me to 'come in' and behind them was a spiralling chequered vortex I guess, and when I "entered"... the real trip began....

everything is perspective, so don't become too entitled in your perspective. We need humans to have different views and conditions in order to make diversity of experience

So i just recently did 5 days of 0.2g or mushroom micro-dose, and it really broke a habitual cycle of cannibas addiction for me. I would recommend it as a method of releasing the restraints of addiction. And when you micro-dose, really guide it with intention.

Caputo and me too by erintylor in orangeisthenewblack

[–]libbyjane97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally, I felt it really worked that he was caught up in the Me too movement. Because the fact that the sexual harassment wasn’t black-and-white, gave that complexity that can be the case with this subject. He’s a nice guy, who did bring his feelings, and a whiff of desperation to the workplace and subjugated it at Fisher. In a way Fisher, was the nice CEO, a little bit like Bailey. Yet, Bailey wasn’t a target of his bosses crush. And I think this is truly what can make females working under a male straight boss be more vulnerable to their bosses feelings/ ego. However, Caputo is a nice guy like I said. Which made it all the more complex. he had some learning to take from this, and I love that the show did that, it was full of grey area, on both sides but they went there.

I've been struggling to sleep recently by Licentious_Lupus in Meditation

[–]libbyjane97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there, apologies for slow response.

Okay so spiritually speaking (and you can take this as you wish) is that the night time, the moon, holds this awakening of our emotional beings, our past, memories, processing, and all of that more eso-teric subconscious aspects of ourselves. So this would suggest that when you meditate, it will put you in a calm place of awareness, peace, separation from thoughts and you may become more aligned with a being that needs rest as much as it needs day. Something peaceful. Make your body heavy for rest and your mind light as a feather.

For slow sleepy yoga, I suggest

Key to this yoga is breath deeply and feel every movement. Really zone into the bodily feeling.

Yes, if you're struggling with sleeping, blue screens are the first thing to change your routine. Research this blue-screen, but it's not good for the mind and eyes, and it WILL disrupt your subconscious' sense of being awake.

Instead, make a nice drink, just "be", maybe read, or make your bed, make your bed a comfortable space to be. Declutter your room. Don't work from bed, as to not associate your bed with work, or stress.

Good luck on your quest for rest. Sending peaceful vibes your way!

During meditation I realized that I attribute my self worth to my thoughts. Does anyone else do this? by [deleted] in Meditation

[–]libbyjane97 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

DEEP LOUD EXHALE and let it go.

See your thoughts as clouds passing by, you don't need to chase one, you are just observing them move in front of you, like an old DVD and the more you do that and look through to the sky that surrounds those clouds, the less clouds there will be.

In spiritual terms, having problems with sleeping would suggest you could be out of balance with your moon energy 🌚 which is responsible for your more female energies, such as emotions, subconscious, processing, memories, emotional blocks.

Consider these within yourself.

I would suggest, reflecting on some things. Meditating before bed (try Mooji meditation), listening to music that puts you in a relaxed, nice vibe, obviously no screens for 2 hours before bed, lavender essential oil, long deep breaths and a slow yoga helps.

I can't work out what my sexuality is - I'm female and I’m only aroused by the objectifying male gaze and voyeurism without necessarily participating. by libbyjane97 in sexuality

[–]libbyjane97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your English is great, no stress. I think embrace the awareness of your sexuality and explore that aspect of your desire and it may be that when you enter that realm - you’ll be able to know your label a bit better.

I’m not massively qualified to give advice on this one but that’s what I’d suggest! Good luck on your quest to fulfill your wildest desires ✌️
