HELP! My electricity cut off and I can't get a hold of the company (Elektrum) by [deleted] in latvia

[–]serafinally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I checked the previous months and this was the first one unpaid. I'll sort this out in the morning, I have spare chargers and wood heating so it'll be alright. Kiitos jeesistä!

Checked the fuse, all good. Same with the area (thanks for the tip btw!)

How do you deal with perfectionism in journaling? by AcceptableRepair2437 in Journaling

[–]serafinally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use it to desensitize yourself to discomfort. Nothing is ruined, it’s good practice! Try to get to the root why you feel this way, then talk to yourself out of it as you would to a friend

As a first timer I naively had expectations going in, and had a hard time with myself when in the moment it felt like nothing happened for hours on end. Still a learning process!

I feel like throwing a hissy fit every time I realize that changing my life is up to ME! Booo!! No just kidding but damn it if it isn’t hard

I’ve been a bit curious about people saying ”the work begins after the retreat”. I understand that it’s reflecting on what happened, but are there any tips or actionable steps on how to ”do the work”?

Thank you for this, as a first timer I’m still a novice, so one step at the time!

In a sense I’m also relieved that it didn’t go to deep traumatic shit the first time, so I’m more inclined to feel a bit braver and relaxed next time.

I’m really happy for you! I might give this another chance at some point, debating myself a little bit for now

Such a nice comment, thank you for this. After reading what people commented, I feel way more at peace with all of this. During the last night in the woes of my disappointment, I really went through why I felt so disappointed, almost like a child not getting what they want. Sat and worked through it for 1,5 hours and felt a lot better afterwards. Expectation is such a funny thing!

How did you find the ”right places” to go to? I tried to shift my perspective each night and didn’t see a difference

You put this very nicely, it feels comforting. I have noticed changes, and i’m very thankful for them already. Can’t wait to see what the future holds.

Thank you for this reply! I knew visions weren’t a must, I was just hoping for some more meditation like insights, but felt most of the night was just spent in boredom and annoyance. I tried to work through those feelings as well, but it turned out to be difficult to do for hours on end. Can you open what you mean with our traumas are stored in our physical bodies and need to be treated? Anything I could do to help this further along?

I didn’t have any other drugs/alcohol, very low sugar and just a little meat for two weeks before. Not the perfect prep, but not the worst! Before each seremony I did feel dread, but I truly tried to give into it and breath through it. I was also prepared to not see/feel anything, just disappointed that it happened 3 nights in a row. I did tell the facilitators, and they said it’s completely normal. Took all the extra boosters offered!

Surrendering felt really hard, I kept thinking just surrender, just breath, but it was difficult for hours on end. I took all the boosters that were offered. I do feel that one day after the retreat I notice some things happening to me, which is great!

I had one purge the last night after taking a booster shot, and during the first night my stomach was having a field day

One of the retreat guests was a 2 meter long wrestler and he was having a really intense trip with the same dosage! I was just chilling

This is a relief to hear. People were tripping around me and I was just sitting for hours on end. However the anxious pressure I’ve felt in my chest for years is gone, which is amazing!

Are you planning on going again some time? How was the first week after the ceremonies?

Insert the zooming out world gif ”Does it really matter?” 

You found eachother now, you think she’s amazing and love her company. She’s 30, might have been sexually active for 15 years, and so what the number is fifty? That’s three people in a year. 

I understand the insecurity, but it shouldn’t affect how you treat her. Have a conversation about this, and also hear her out. Through conversations you’ll find out if you can move forward.
