It’s a tough world and I have a couple practices I use to relax my mind, connect with body and remember I’m not an atomized, ego-driven individual. I do a 10 min daily meditation in the morning, just a lit candle at my altar, breathing and repeating a mantra. On my work days when I’m up early I practice the Middle Pillar and Quabalistic Cross rituals in my back yard before work. Finally my partner and I perform a weekly prosperity/gratitude ritual, decking out our kitchen table with candles and icons of our patron deities and getting all gnostic-mindset’y. It’s fun and makes me feel cool. What are some practices y’all use to connect with whatever “Big Out There” you prefer to engage with?
mmm mostly just regular ol' meditation in the afternoon when i get off work, i've kinda been slacking off lately so i really need to get back in the habit of doing it anytime i notice that i'm wasting time on my phone.
I’m listening to a podcast n the dude talks about how this sOcIeTy is designed to activate the sympathetic, fight or flight, nervous system, and we live in a near constant state of anxiety. Meditation and such helps activate the parasympathetic, rest and rejuvenate, nervous system.
