    Thank you very much.
  3. The Totally Boring News Thread

    νύχτα still is the modern Greek word for ‘night’.
  4. What made YOU laugh today/tonight ?

    It was not addressed to me, but I for one would be happy if you did remove it. I’m thoroughly fed up with the politics on this forum. When I post anything about the DDJ, I feel like I am an anomaly. Plenty of other sites if you want a laugh about politics. I came here for discussion on Daoism and find their hardly is any anymore. Also the situation is too serious for jokes imo, we’ve been told here to expect war within 5 years, not funny at all.

    Day 6. Even the emojis work a treat. Ending the log now. Feeling very confident all is well. Thanks to Jules and the admods.
  13. Dan tien too tough

    Hi, welcome to the forum. “It does not feel healthy”, hmm … idk. Possibly @-ꦥꦏ꧀ ꦱꦠꦿꦶꦪꦺꦴ- might have some advice here?

    Day 5, still good. I think it’s all been repaired. (Touch wood, and please don’t crush my little heart. )
  15. Solar plexus/abdomen contraction

    Righto, nice open invitation, that’s encouraging me to put in my two-pennies-worth. From my experience: I would think the “crunches” are probably tension release, so imo a good sign. The panic feelings could also be a sign of progress, underlying unconscious layers being opened up. Sitting/meditaing through them can be a way forward. But can take time and sometimes not easy to do, so be patient and be kind to yourself. Don’t force it. I’d say, try to do the basics well, like eat healthy, bit of exercise and sleep enough. Try daily to be out in nature (well, whatever comes nearest to that in your environment) is also very helpful. Give yourself lots of praise for every little thing that you did manage to do well, and don’t worry when it’s all a bit of a fail. Let it be enough that you heroically keep on trying. I think it’s very good you are “actively working towards balance.”
