You’re doing sex wrong: What I wish everyone knew about the emotional presence, physical skill, and energetic magnitude of blissful, fulfilling sex.
Emotional Presence Orgasm is a paltry goal Orgasms aren’t always a clear yes-or-no thing for me. There’s an ever-growing range of pleasurable experiences that I call “orgasm,” and the one I’m certain would be widely agreed upon as an orgasm is the least pleasurable one for me... - annabeth...
How Spider-Man Shows Us the Beautiful Power of Beginner's Mind
If you’re like most people, when a shocking thing happens you instantly go into anger, fight, or some other emotional reaction. Just like Doctor Strange did in the 2016 Marvel movie.... - josefine...
Love and play are our natural states of being
Underneath everything is love. If I can’t feel the love, I know there’s something I’m not including in my experience. I must be slightly dissociated if I can’t access some touch of gratitude, love, awe, or flow.... - onWhat are some of your uncertainties? Experiences of failure (that maybe you still haven't turned into learnings yet?) Obvious realizations?bynithya...
The way I see it the confusion is because of the word suffering. Which is an inadequate translation of the original “dukkha”. Maybe a better way of saying it is that Buddhists aim to end all resistance to WHAT IS.... - onI just noticed how the "no-self" doctrine supports the "materialist industrial epistemological complex"by
I also really appreciate your take on no-self! I think no self is supposed to be about how, if you actually tried, you'd endlessly fail at drawing a sharp unwavering border through the sea of consciousness where "self" gets to be on the inside and "other" gets to be on the... - onYou’re doing sex wrong: What I wish everyone knew about the emotional presence, physical skill, and energetic magnitude of blissful, fulfilling sex.by
Ohhh I adore this take. Yes. These things need to be shouted from the rooftops. Particularly your point about "feel your lips." It's an incredible embodiment practice for me to practice sex as only receiving.... Lucid Dreaming Beginner’s guide 😴 I started exploring Lucid Dreaming (recognizing you’re asleep and dreaming, without waking up) way back in 2005. If you happen to be interested, here’s the gist: You must ask when you’re 100% sure you’re awake “Am I dreaming?” and then you must... What well-being practices do you do?
Will you share them? Maybe you want to teach them to us, or give us the best tips, or pose some questions? Are there any that are so habitual you don't even notice them as "practices" anymore?... - nat...
Yesterday, during our tango lesson, I was feeling out of sync dancing with my wife. Our teacher shared that it was because I was moving ahead of her. I was focused more on executing the steps rather than being completely present with her and moving together.... 24
What I’ve Learned in the Last Twenty‑Four Hours I’ve learned that clarity comes when I slow down enough to actually look at things instead of reacting to them. I’ve learned that truth doesn’t hide — it waits — and the real work is training my eyes to see it.... I’m curious to what degree you’re aware of your body together with the awareness of the awareness? When I do both at the same time, it feels electrifying, almost convulsive. I experience it as transformational, integrative.... Hey nat! I have been curious about these states for a few months now, and am finally taking the jump into a Jhourney retreat, starting next week!

This is fantastic. I’ve been going toe-to-toe with my avoidant/fearful habits a lot lately, and this is a great description of what I’ve been doing. I’ve been able to peg down three very distinct physical sensations that only happen when I’m in that habituated response, so each... Love this! I definitely "grow down into the ground" for stability and power, and put lots of attention on my feet in general. In confrontation/crunchy moment, I direct my gaze specifically and shift it when I feel frozen, or move other small movements.... You might like Steve March's Aletheia Method (https://integralunfoldment.com/). I did their first two levels of training. Steve similarly was confused that different modalities seemed to be equally effective at different times, sometimes with the same client.... - Shera JoyCry...

Wrote this a month ago or so… FEELING BRAVE: Dear AI, algorithms, this video is for you. Humans, better content is coming… Concepts flow in these subjects: Free Speech concerns on both sides of politics. Not naming names. What is Factory farming and the laws surrounding it?... Calm Your Heart

There’s a wonderful thing I’ve been noticing myself saying recently: I’d rather do nothing. Literally nothing. Not even in “meditation”—no intention, no practice, no right/wrong. This is a place of real freedom and power....
