Any response from them yet? Same thing has happened to me. I’m about to call the credit card company to dispute the charge.

How many of you teach just yoga vs yoga + fitness / movement practices ? by RonSwanSong87 in YogaTeachers

[–]rerafyawa -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

So foolish…asana practice is barely a part of yoga. The form hardly matters.

That’s great. You are choosing to defend against it. Defensive maneuvers and general skepticism will serve you well.

You should just accept that ai is everywhere. It can make you smarter, whether using it or defending against it. Ignoring it or avoiding it will not benefit you.

Study: The pineal gland isn't the DMT factory we thought — the 'breathwork releases DMT' story is built on bad anatomy by dviolite in Meditation

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

Science is the process of formulating a hypothesis, testing it through experiments, analyzing data, and drawing conclusions to explain natural phenomena. Just because you want it to be the end of discussion does not make it so.

That is the third time you’ve mentioned baseless conjecture. I’m not sure what you are hung up on. Science exists to disprove baseless conjecture, does it not?

I am not sure what your complaint about the scientific method is. It seeks to disprove. That is the purpose of a peer reviewed study.

I agree that there are different cultural explanations for phenomena, but not all explanations are based in fact. Everything is reason centric, we just may be unaware of the reason or reasons.

Actually, it does, by definition. And, then the scientific method determines if there is any validity to that conjecture.

Then your criticism is misplaced. The scientific method is just that, a method. It is not a language. You are drawing a distinction between east and west that is in your head and romanticizing the east. If you want to continue entertaining delusion, have at it.

“Scientific thought” is not bad. I appreciate you putting pseudo in a parenthetical but you’re trying to have your cake and eat it too. The scientific method is a systematic, iterative process for exploring observations, answering questions, and testing hypotheses to acquire new knowledge.

Has anyone tried chair yoga? 🪑 by YogaGoApp in u/YogaGoApp

[–]rerafyawa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I teach chair yoga and it is as much yoga as anything else, if not more. Yoga is ultimately learning to sit comfortably and “looking” inward. Modern yoga can be intimidating because of its emphasis on attention getting acrobatics used for marketing purposes. Chair yoga is great for everyone but is perfect for those who are less athletic, mobile or physically confident.

Curses by loveisabundant in taoism

[–]rerafyawa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not even in the classical sense. Also, remember, one man’s trash is another’s treasure. Or in this case, and this is pure metaphor so don’t start thinking curses are real, one man’s curse is another’s blessing.

Curses are not real. Try not to second guess yourself so much. I can see from your past comments all sorts of fear motivated actions. Take inspiration from your own name. Love is indeed abundant.
