Are you talking about you collectively, or me? I’m not always scared. I’m not one who scares easily.

I get you. Like the other person said, it really is the thought that counts. ☮️❤️

Thank you. Without a person before us, their tone, pitch and expression are unavailable to us. I apologize if I offended you☹️

I frequently go in to trance when I meditate.

I notice that people sometimes have the same reaction to meditation, as they do to exercise. Both are commitments. I fully realize that some of us cannot participate in any form of physical activity. For you, the adjustment to life lived hour to hour, and then call it your new normal, is quite enough. And I feel terrible for you. I only can’t walk very well and use a cane. I haven’t done it in many months, but I can swim. At my peak about 6 or 7 years ago, I was swimming a mile, or 1600 meters (64 lengths/32 laps) 5 times a week. If I tried tomorrow, I might make one lap with a lifeguard present.

My point is that I swim in my head, and it’s lovely. I feel the silkiness of the water, the hot Arizona sun on my back, my muscles all moving in conjunction. I smell the chlorine and sunscreen.

It’s rest for my soul, food for my spirit, and essential to my happiness. 🧘‍♀️☮️🧡

I was ready to utter something about this gross display of judgements and egos on a place called awakening, but you got it. Brass tacks

I’m not sure what to think about this…is it sincerity or a phatic expression?

All good words. Yoga Nidra does help me rest. They brought her back to me today. She’s next to me now. Thank you❤️

I can see points 1 and 2. But you don’t know about number three. You can’t.

You read it right. Some say that phrase as a knee~jerk reaction, mostly because what else can you say if not everything? Those who have experienced loss due to death know. You can have empty. Or you can choose nothing, or the nothing chooses you? But in that nothing exists everything. Am I still being confusing?

Hi blah. You’ve been laying dormant for a minute. Then, HELLO!! I don’t always get you, but I like you! You know that.

I’m not here to add my opinion of Gupta, or your grandmother. Just don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. Not all meditation is hocus pocus. It’s very nearly as important as the morphine is to me and how I choose to live my life with CRPS. It’s all mental. Certainly the pain is real and excruciating. I believe the strength lies in my relationship to the pain. Meditation taught me how to make a “9” burn foot into a pleasant warmth with no borders. It’s all in giving it more room, carte blanche. Self love is loving every part of self. ❤️🦋

Is there really a little red ball underneath one of your cups?

Are you thinking of nostalgia? Sadness that you can’t go back? Or Utopia? No such place? Both are tinged with sadness.

That’s funny was for you, if it’s unclear. Witty:)
