The medicines help as well of course 😄

Through breath, through movement, through presence, we remember who we are 🌬️💗🧘‍♂️🫂😄

Any Shivambu practitioners here?

Good evening NOSTR, My mom bought a wine lounge recently and they use square, so I was her first bitcoin transaction. Trying to get her set up and understand how to use it, and also get her set up with a cold storage wallet. So I am confused as to where this bitcoin went exactly… if anyone knows how to access her coin and then transfer it into a cold storage wallet for her and can let me know, that would be appreciated! Many blessings

The good life … 🌴

Good afternoon Nostr, Please enjoy my little philosophy / stoicism rant. God Bless You 🌬️💗🧘‍♂️😄

Viktor E. Frankl, the Holocaust survivor, wrote in his book, ‘Man’s search for meaning’ “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” There is always an external response that is not in our control, but what is in our control is our response, and in that response lies ALL of our power. This is truly the greatest power that we have, to CHOOSE to respond in a loving, non-reactive, loving way. This is the essence of Yoga, with Ahimsa being the first Yama in Patanjalis Yoga Sutras, Sanskrit for ‘Non-violence’ or ‘Non-harming’. Non-violence being in action, speech, and thought, starting with how we are speaking to ourselves. Everything starts from within first, within our own minds. Can we respond without aggression, even when triggered? What a practice… This is what made Gandhi so powerful. He said, ““The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” “An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.” This is the practice that put Jesus on a pedestal. “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” — Luke 23:34 “But I say to you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.” — Matthew 5:39–42 These are the most profound practices we can incorporate into our life, what can create the most peace, and provide the most love into the world. Making this a core practice in our life. One of the best ways to create space, is through our Breath. This is the awareness. Something happens, taking a deep breath, we are then creating space to respond instead of react unconsciously. Next time someone cuts you off in traffic… bring this awareness… and just notice.

What is the point of philosophy? To live a better life. Stoicism is something that really changed my life, changed my ways of thinking, therefore changed my reality. I started becoming obsessed with these ancient thinkers and tried to get inside their minds as much as possible. What’s the difference between you saying it and them? It’s all in the embodiment, anybody can pick these up and make them theirs, it’s all coming from the same place anyways. Pick a few quotes you like up, start repeating them in your mind, out loud, study it, embody it, and you’ll start to notice a change in yourself… in a more positive direction. Get these thoughts engrained in your subconscious, and they becoming you. Carl Jung says, “Until we make the unconscious conscious, it will direct our life and we will call it fate.” He who masters himself masters the world. The practice of not letting external events affect our internal state… becoming the eye of the storm… turbulence can come and go around us, but nothing shakes what’s inside. One last Marcus Aurelius quote I love… “Be like the rock against which the waves continually break; it stands firm and tames the fury of the water around it.” 😁🧘‍♂️😉🌬️🪽💗🦋🙏🕊️🌅
