This reminded me of a saying , often given as advice for healing and wellbeing: 'Keep your water clean.' -coming from old Slavic traditions

.

That joke is like serving dog poo to your friends for dinner. Inappropriate and distatesfull. There are your sisters on this board here reading this. I would react the same to bad jokes about man by the way. It is just unecessary. When about 12 years old my mum was getting starngeld by her psycho boyfriend , upon seeing this I took a big kitchen knife ready to defend my mums life. He saw I was serious and ran away. You dont know what kind of suffernig people go through, human hearts are so fragile and should be treated with care. Being responsable and emotionally mature is a practise worth undertaking for all of us. Always keeping in mind what kind of enviroment to create with idea/thought. This lack of emotional independece and maturity is the big issue nowdays regardless of gender. Emotional Wellbeing should be a compulsory subject in schools under which the way mind works , dreams , etc..could be discussed and tought.

A thought usually pulls me back to the body , either immediatley or through the dream which often involves using transport or flying back home. It has happened on occasions to end up in some unknown room/house(which are seen very clearly) and sometimes taking a while to realise that this is not my room . This undrestanding in itself brings me back to body. I ask myself if I am dreaming in the dream too -- this is usually triggered by noticing something unusual in the dream or just by doing routine check (done regardless of waking or dreaming state) on being present. By asking dream figures if they are part of my dream and looking at the cause of this state of being - the dream ended up just disentregrating few times , showing itself to be like a film on the screen of life. Which results in entering interconnected state of being, which gave much understanding about life. This guy is cool - Robert Waggoner on seeking the source of dreaming:

It would be nice to have a cup of tea together now if we were living nearby. manitou I was thinking if you maybe have some sort of injury or a lot of acid in your body, or other imbalance.. Becouse many times we get this extreme emotions becouse something is hurting us inside, or some strong imbalance and it is very physical but constant, and therefore maybe not noticable . It is kind of a vicious circle. This kind of relationship is route worth exploring and working on from many levels. I am just blabering now, but may cause some inspiration.

..and here is a huge toon should you decide to :

hehe ,from Wiki: The Mosquito or Mosquito alarm (marketed as the Beethoven in France, the Swiss-Mosquito in Switzerland and SonicScreen in the US and Canada) is an electronic device, used to deter loitering by young people, which emits a sound with a very high frequency.

I use some of the body mechanics from chi running -- good stuff: http://www.chirunning.com/what-is-chirunning/beginning-runners/ try and see some of videos , you can learn from them even without the book.

Just started Sarangel 'Riding the windhorses'. It seems interesting so far. Its about Mongolian/Siberian shamanism, including some rituals and practises too.

I was staying and meditating outdoors where there was tigers across the river, but they come at night to hunt for the chicken and other animals they keep as the the area was like a very small village. Was told that before the neighbours moved in there were tigeress and baby cubs just at the end of the big garden near the rocks . Another example is a friend of mine, who lives in Eastern India by the river with a husband and two kids and nearby her house there are ALIGATORS. I was like --you are joking right? But why do you live there? To her it is just normal , she knows how to act around them as she grew up in the area and it is as dangerous as crossing the road for us. So one needs to find out the rhytam of life in particular area and dance by that tune or find a nature spot without wild animals which is what I prefer .

Hello dear manitou, respect for trying to get off prozac. You got some really nice responses here so far. manitou said:'I would love to know if anyone else struggles with their own behavior....' I have struggled with anger and managed to reprogram a lot of my behaviour. My route was of trying to be as lucid and clear as possible and work became my main meditation and my spiritual battleground. I deal with a lot of people at work all the time and at one point it just was so ovewhealming . This was a help to become more present and sharpen up. One time I was in a occult bookstore and this guy was talking to a highly abusive costumer on the phone -- but he himself was cool and so gathered. His collegue asked him:'How do you do it(being so composed)?' He replied:'You have to learn to bless yourself.' This may sound like nothing to you , but at the time and space that caused revolution in my life. I started to learn to bless myself. Concept I never would even think of before but in that moment it all made sense - just what needed to be heard, something switched on. It is about being aware of what I want to create and most importantly being aware from what source I gain my inspiration from. It is about being responsable and disposing the blaming . Blaming is a form of expetacion, and it is better to bin it forever. Doing best in given situation and having a goal in mind , but not expecting is what works for me. Just letting life move through me without holding on to it for too long. Anger tore me apart almost at one point and that boiling point needed to be reached. Nowdays I may play with anger for a bit , but I am not going down that road. It is like a devils domain. Gotta be careful where we get our inspiration from and what kind of creation we contribute to. Becouse our every destructive thought has a butterfly effect . It adds to and feeds all the nastiness already present in the world. The more nastiness it feeds the more it is accesable to people , more people plug into/hook into this ideas - it perpetuets so easily. Just look at the state of the world today. Becoming more aware and be responsable cocreator, as well as decluttering the heart so its eyes open up and its ears listen is where I am at. PS To comment on your title - I dont see it as ego vs humility -- its about being flexible ,agile and appropriate to the given situation. Best wishes.

Here we go again, lets put it in perspective as I was answering you directly and not commenting to the OP -- this quote of yours is what I was refering to when I made the comment earlier on: 'Traditionally men have been more powerful, and so they lead a family like a king rules a country. The king uses violence to punish and so can the man of the household. ' Whatever I wrote afterwards is me questioning your statment. If earth is to heal it requires our help indeed as we are interconnected. It is obvious that a sort of violent and expoloiting stream of thought dominates us as human beings these days and this needs to change if we are to live in a better enviroment. Luckily kings punishing is so vintage nowdays and feudal system is not thriving either . However there are still dictators around. Have you ever been to Saudi Arabia? The home of world famous 'chop-chop square' -- you may enjoy it over there with such views on life. Last time I read about it they choped of a head of a 16 year old girl accused of witchcraft and seducing a man. Equal rights does not imply having the same abilities and personal traits , but same rights as human beings . By the way nature is taking its course that is why there is all types of equal rights movements springing everywhere.

Something went Ahh! in me,when I saw this one.

'I have a wonderful penis And there is hair on my balls..' this is immortal poetry

deci, nice to read you again!

While suffering emotional abuse is very real and traumatic - being nasty is a general human trait regardless of gender and physical violence should not be used unless physically treathened . As Twinner says - walk away. I certanly do if it gets too hot. We could go into gender differences , but that is not going to solve this kind of situations either or bring peaceful resolution. Wrong approach never brings desired results. It would only flame up the fire inside that is already burning and this can be potentialy harmful on personal and social basis in general. A lot of introspection and thinking of oneself not only as an individual , but as a part of a society and miniscule ,but very important part of this vast universe too - is so important. Becouse we coexist, there is no individual units separate from the rest. We need to try and be sharp and cool , acting responsable for us as a individual and as part of the whole according to the situation. I love the meaning of Ubuntu - 'I exist , becouse you do.' What zOOse said: 'Traditionally men have been more powerful, and so they lead a family like a king rules a country. The king uses violence to punish and so can the man of the household. ' - Has this sort of attitude brought us much goodnes and wellbeing? Has it brought peaceful coexistance and bettter life ? Has it brought on better enviroment ? Are women happy with this sort of ideas? Has it made erath heal? I am sadened and sorry that quite a few of fellow bums feel this way towards women and really pray and hope for peace and emotional satisfaction for all. As well as deep understanding , insight and free heart.

Talking to yourself Everything? For some reason I remebered a guy that used to come to cinema I used to work in my early twenties. Hed come in and talk to the mirror in the corridor every day for good half an hour. After few months there came another guy and stands on the same spot and starts talking to the mirror. We(stuff) were shocked and were thinking what would happened if they meet each other. They never did. Just my thought flow.

Hello Nikolay, I would just like to use opportunity to mention again that I know quite a few yogis (from all walks of life) that have achieved kechari mudra . Kechari mudra as constant practise and a always available tool is a state of being and none of those yogis required or did any form of surgeryon their tongue. Quickly achieveing kechari beats the point of kechari becouse to achieve kechari sucessfully with clear mind and open heart -- one must be able to wait and have patience and perserverance no matter what. About 7 years ago after a prolonged reterat I was in that state for about 3 months and amrita was flowing , it was very blissfull and extremly insightfull and I am glad I had the expireience. However it was too intenese as I wasnt prepared to know and understand life so radically different, so through intenese prayers and with help of my teacher this was somehow reversed /slowed down. Throughout years afterwards I was grounding myself and allowing change and different understanding come through slowly and am working on perfecting kechari. It definetly has trumendous benefits, incredible really , but would reccomend practising with someone who has achieved it. Some practises could be practised eaisly without teacher , some are not reccomeneded.

I know a young woman who is in a 4 year ongoing relationship and has never had an orgasam with the man she is with. She has admitted to be naturally quite tense and has history of depression. Her explanation is that she cannot relax and her partner is rather inexpirienced/insensitive to her needs sexually. She is his first partner ever . About the girl in OP. As Sloppy said 'maybe its the type of the relationships she forms'. Loads of cold one night stands will harden her emotionally eventually . Once she manages to feel relaxed , secure , loved , manages to trust her partner she will have better chance to orgasam with the man. Loving partner can help a lot by learning different ways on how to sexually please a women and be patient and perserviring. She could work on her personality and looking deeply and honestly to any issue she may have in relationships and any possible patterns that are occuring and what can she do about it. There must be a form of fear involved , prehapes manifesting under guise of something else, as fear causes tension - which will cause inability to orgasam. PS the urgy - no dont tell her to surrender to emptiness, it is more important to learn to comunicate with her lover deeply and learn to form a trusting, loving relationship. This is a base - one cannot run before one can walk. Wishing best.

Me too, mainly becouse I really dont like the guys lilac outfit.

Interesting video, cheers Mark. I have recently seen film/documentary 'The Rize': - trailera really cool bit ,check it out- about kids having dance battles and getting together, learning from each other and listening to their bodies. It is a really good film, and some scenes are just amazing. It becomes obvious that this is their spirituality (without being labeled as such), almost like a very ancient intuitive drive that gets those people together and their bodies just know what to do to distress, shake and get in tune. Reccomended. Shakti Mama , it was really intersting reading your posts! Thanks for sharing so much.
