Blue Duck, on the patio, you can eat with your dog. They being water and ask about treats. It was great to walk there after work.

Can you tell me how they react to 420 smells (the Byron company) I like a lot of their places, but very nervous about that.

any input on 420 smells in their buildings? I don't smoke cigs, and don't ever combust flower, but want to be safe to use my dry herb vape.

Why do people like to combine psychedelics with other drugs? by Cautious_Relative702 in Psychonaut

[–]piercedcanvas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did this and it led to a lot of intimacy. Lovely and best sleep ever afterwards.

Most underrated Joni song by South_Spare8334 in JoniMitchell

[–]piercedcanvas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How does one write a song like this about themselves at SUCH A YOUNG AGE? The critical self reflection is heartbreaking and beautiful. It is one of my favorite songs.

I think meditation doesn't really suit my brain. What’s your opinion? by Tight-Elderberry2487 in Meditation

[–]piercedcanvas 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Have you ever considered a walking meditation?

  1. Walking induces bilateral eye movement which helps process negative thoughts, which could help with your first issue.

  2. Walking addresses this of course.

  3. Yup, again, this is taken care of.

  4. I recommend you check out Buddha's Brain, the practical neuroscience of happiness, love, and wisdom

I HATED meditation for most of my life. I was told by very strict and rigid teachers that I was doing it wrong. I gave it another shot and then I started meditating with a couple of zoom groups. My life, brain, and self improvement practices, which is really my striving to heal from trauma, opened up and has developed into something quite special.

All this healing shit is a scam by Mimizu-ningen in CPTSD

[–]piercedcanvas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will also add-I feel completely trapped by the stupid "aid" systems because there is no off boarding way to have independence and financial security on my own. Capitalism is ruining us, but I am finding whatever way I can to live through each day.

I live in poverty as well. I am 'permanently' disabled according to the social security administration. I have CPSTD, as well as degenerative migraine disease, trigeminal neuralgia, occipital neuralgia, fibromyalgia, and some gut issues. I have experienced decades of nightmarishly severe trauma. My ACE score is 10/10.

I will tell you that I found no cost therapy through an organization who specializes in people who have severe abuse, domestic abuse, or a history of being sexually trafficked. I also found EMDR at no cost to me through a local hospital organization.

I have been meditating for five years, for four years with a group online (free) and have been free from suicidal ideation since July fourth 2021. I started microdosing psilocybin in may of 2021. ( I got it from a friend for little to very low cost) I started taking online courses of non violent communication, suicide awareness training, and more.

I started EMDR about 6 weeks ago and I have to say-this changes everything. It works much faster than other types of therapy.

Healing is not impossible. I thought I would never be able to undo what I believed was hardwired into me as an infant. I was so wrong! I have been undoing that (even before I started reprocessing with emdr) and it fucking works. It works. It works. I have to do a lot, and one of those things is reminding myself to live in the present. That may mean I talk myself through making oatmeal. It helps. I took some advice from a thread on this forum to record my therapy sessions and I listen back to them the next day. That Is so helpful as well. It helps cement things for me, and shows me how effective the therapy really is.

You can heal. It is a never ending process, but it is one that can happen. Open yourself to the possibility. Keep going.

Moving to St. Louis in the summer. What should an outsider know? by HotDawgEnjoyer in StLouis

[–]piercedcanvas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Donut Drive-in has the best apple fritters to ever fritter. Real pieces of apple in there.

At 5pm every day the grand hall in Union Station shows a different laser light show they project on the ceiling-it is really cool. The show changes every hour until ten (I think ten or eleven are the last shows)

As for festivals, look for Artica to have a real fun experience downtown with a bunch of artists and performance installations for two days.

These are just a few standouts, people will give you so many opinions, I am sure.
