yes, you'll need a membership or go with someone who has one. they'll try to talk you into getting one, but you can purchase on your friend's card.

@Anouk

they've got bulk everything.

@FrankCannon

yup. that's the reason for the fury.

@LnzyHou

it's good.🙏🏻

letting go of "the way i think things should be" etc is difficult, but liberating.

@LnzyHou

i've been using Pema Chödron's practice to deal with the anxiety, and it's working.

i'm feeling solid instead of fractured and i can actually feel the strength being formed.

it's weird but in a very good way.

@JV3MJD

oh he will, count on it🙈

@CinnamonGirlE

“disappointment, embarrassment, and all these places where we cannot feel good are a sort of death. We’ve just lost our ground completely; we are unable to hold it together and feel that we’re on top of things. Rather than realizing that it takes death for there to be birth, we just fight against the fear of death.
Reaching our limit is not some kind of punishment. It’s actually a sign of health that, when we meet the place where we are about to die, we feel fear and trembling."

@DavidSalo

“we regard discomfort in any form as bad news. But for practitioners or spiritual warriors—people who have a certain hunger to know what is true—

feelings like disappointment, embarrassment, irritation, resentment, anger, jealousy, and fear, instead of being bad news, are actually very clear moments that teach us where it is that we’re holding back.

They’re like messengers that show us, with terrifying clarity where we're stuck."

ah right. motivation 👍🏼😅

@CinnamonGirlE

you can also use aloe vera. i could definitely do that since i have an aloe vera plantation in my living room, but, once again, lazy.
li do cut leaves as moisturizer and for cuts, burns, rash, etc.

@CinnamonGirlE

i have thought about it, but i'm too lazy right now.

and i don't usually eat rice any more. so no supply.

@CinnamonGirlE

you can experiment.

there are youtube videos showing how to make your own rice water for rinsing your hair. just soaking rice before you cook it, strain it, keep the water for hair rinse.

@LnzyHou

perfect 👌🏽

“we regard loneliness as an enemy.

It’s restless and pregnant and hot with the desire to escape

When we can rest in the middle, a nonthreatening relationship with loneliness, a relaxing and cooling loneliness turns our usual fearful patterns upside down.

six ways of describing this kind of cool loneliness.

They are: less desire, contentment, avoiding unnecessary activity, complete discipline, not wandering in the world of desire, and not seeking security from one’s discursive thoughts”

@kaehlys

oh, i'm sorry 😥

@carmen

this is what's needed everywhere. civil disobedience based on a real rule of law.

@sentientdessert
