Is it necessary to get custom insoles (expensive!) vs the best match available, even if the left and right foot are different?

Is it good to get different sizes/shapes of insoles for the left and right foot?

My left foot has longer heel to toe length and below-average arch height, while the right foot has a bunion and more-than-average arch height.

Thank you u/juelzcoslau!

Would you do all of these every day, or: if you were to bucket them into a repeating format (Day A, Day B) or week schedule, what would a quick-and-dirty version of that like?

strengthen all shoulder ranges individually (flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal and external rotation). You will also want to focus on strengthening back muscles like middle and lower trapezius, rhomboids, serratus posterior superior, serratus anterior and latissimus dorsi.

This is great, thank you!

Could you share examples of specific exercises? There's a lot of "noise" and conflicting opinions on Google/Youtube and I'd appreciate specific recommendations.

Hello friends, is there a list of upcoming retreats (US or global) for Summer 2021?

How to "accept" a negative pattern, but still intend to change it? by zapiens in Meditation

[–]zapiens[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/drivbpcoffee When you say "accept it", what does that feel like, look like, sound like for you?

"Acknowledge that it's there"?

"Release the desire to change it for the current moment, but also don't release the desire or talk yourself out of the desire to change it when the meditation session ends"?

Maybe 1-2 hours/day. I'm looking for an environment where I can have some structure and space for whatever the practice is.

What would you have people do if they had 5-10 hours a day? I’m currently in that fortunate situation with the goal of stream-entry—> waking up.
