  1. Mirror gazing or mirror trataka.

    that cool feeling (asmr) i get when i watch someone concentrating on something is completely absent when the thing the person is concentrating on is a mirror or some kind of computer screen... its there with art projects, books, human interaction, cooking, everything -except- mirrors and computers. i worry about this
  2. Mirror gazing or mirror trataka.

    hmm... i used to have problems with vanity so i generally avoid my reflection out of fear it will steal my soul/awareness or something maybe confronting that fear head on might be a good idea. i feel really weird looking at myself
  3. Itchy left eye

    i could be wrong, but i think chakra development depends on the virtue you have developed in those areas of your life and not so much age. i wish i had stuff like yoga or qigong when i was going through puberty, i'm curious to know if it takes the edge off for you at all
  4. Music for Meditation/Relaxation/Contemplation

    me neither, i view music as a distraction personally. It helps bring your attention inward a bit but once its there its there i approve of a music thread though, want to see others choices
  5. Music for Meditation/Relaxation/Contemplation

    i like boards of canada. i wouldn't recommend it for meditation, but i like to go to bed listening to it or just something to trip out to i also like binaural beats/music made with binaural tones in the background, listening to different clips of rain hitting various surfaces, different kinds of "noise" (there are different colors of noise, each has its own feel to it) and it isn't really music but i also like to chill out to soft-spoken ASMR videos with people scratching textured surfaces. good fun that is

  7. Water fasting

    yeah it was totally random for me, i wouldn't do it if you had commitments at all
  8. how do unicorns do there magic? mlp fim

    yeah, maybe just another subtle changing of the singing and replacement of background characters by recoloring them to be more main-ish characters like they did with big mac. i just realized this threads point has long expired, but i don't care. Quick, post as many off topic pictures and songs of ponies as we can before the thread dies

    what the hay?? they showed a clip from like every episode and it was super long
  10. Trolling and Off-topic disruptions

    i'd feel like a rip off artist if i were a teacher, because no information actually belongs to me. nothing wrong with it, just stating that i would never personally charge. not many people want to be the guy who gets nothing in return for their info, but i would. Every time i have done something i loved for money it totally ruined it for me. i do things for free because it brings me joy helping people, but i'm trying to get over that benefit as well.
  11. Water fasting

    i did 4 days and felt too crappy the entire time to do anything spiritual other than lay there and think about how it would eventually be over so....lesson in impermanence?
  12. zen master

    including freaking out and running across the house top speed in response to something invisible, maybe spirits?

    nah, everything is pretty damn strange
  17. how do unicorns do there magic? mlp fim

    i've seen unicorns in mythology portrayed as pure, yes. But i have also seen mythology that portrays them as sexual power symbols

  21. Emotions database

    this is extremely useful to me http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases
  22. Trolling and Off-topic disruptions

    i agree bro, though i don't really believe in "rights". i believe that people do what they do also wrong thread lol
  23. Trolling and Off-topic disruptions

    i feel like this thread is entirely appropriate and much in need of some good dick humor maybe a few "your mom" jokes even
  24. how do unicorns do there magic? mlp fim

    that song is awesome
  25. by only doing things that need to get done for me to be comfortable. by not preaching OR trying to lead by example. by not expecting a pat on the back for doing something "good". empty-ish minded spontaneousness. i follow what makes me happy without trying to analyze it any further than "does this hurt me in the long run or hurt others at all?" learning to be okay with things, especially the ones i can't change. and allowing the things i could change to change themselves or stay the same i try to be as minimalistic about the whole changing the world thing as i can. But that is just me, i have problems with preaching. Probably wouldn't suit everyone
