Interesting that behaviour of rolling on top of the dead body of the snake or where the kill took place? The cat does it in the following day as well. My dog does this everytime she finds the body of a dead animal (crow, frog).

In my case it's a dog. Here goes, 1. Long daily walks in nature are mandatory. 2. Stretch at least 7 times a day. 3. Yawn at least once every hour. 4. Fast regularly. 5. Eat only when you are hungry. 6. Roll a little on your back every morning. 7. No resentments. 8. No need to think so much of tomorrow. Live in trust. 9...in progress

That thought comes to my mind so often... Thanks for your post. Loved it 🙏

Hi Sahaja and thank you for the topic. When I decide to experience with mudras it only usually takes a couple of days before I start feeling energy being expressed. Altough I never read or hear anyone talk about it I feel the energy coming from outside which makes me feel that the mudras work as some sort of invocation of that energy. For years that I think about starting this topic here but never managed to convince myself of its utility... like the bs literature related to it. Thank you for sharing your experience 🙏

Tomorrow mate Time for bed on my planet.

I can relate to that as I still remember the turtles at home as a child and how the harmonious mandala-like shape of the shell fascinated me then and now still. And of course the longevity thing, quite fascinating

My favourites would be the ZhuangZi and the DDJ threads... Which makes me think that there are absent members of this forum that I don't miss much because I often make them very alive and present by reading them. And didn't those blabbermouths leave a lot to read, to consult, to learn from?

And you will love her forever... It is something new to me as I quite often accused people of loving their pets more than humans but now I do understand. Just remembered one of my favourite songs which I'm going to listen to now

Indeed. Too late in life I've understood Chief Seattle's words about life without animals resulting in a big "spiritual solitude". You do gain alot of wisdom from animals. It comes at a price it's true but you get the goods if you're attentive... It came to my mind now this moment that I had with an eagle. I was walking in the fields completely lost in neurotic thoughts, too afraid of what tomorrow would bring and suddenly I look up and see this eagle in its calm, slow flight, owning everything, the immensity of the sky as well as the whole land. Unforgettable moments which wake you up from the human troubles.

Outrageous plagiarism

Don't know why, felt like posting my non-selfie

I can easely imagine her feeling very free and loved at the moment. Thank you so much for your company, thoughts snd shared experience Janneke ❤️🙏 See you sometime soon.

I do believe you @Dainin and am very empathetic with your concern. As you know, for me, your posts are some of the most valuable in this forum. Really hope the situation will be solved.

Improvements, I see...

Spent quite some time of my life pondering about the verses of Ecclesiastes which refer to the non-possibility of extinction of anything created by God ( call it whatever you want, Universe, Dao, etc. ) When the film Jurassic Park came out I have pondered if genetic re-creation would be the way... Well... It seems dire wolfs are back 🥳

It never did. For me it was always easier to use google search as suggested by Marblehead a long time ago.

You see @Nungali my historical accuracy? Thanks for enlightening him Apech.

Brilliant 🤣

Actually, with the image of my dog 😁

It seems like I still have some karmic roots to deal here with 🙂 Anyway we've been having now 4 weeks of lovely sushine... Tropical England is fun indeed. If this keeps going I'll never leave 😉

Sadly, and altough I've always respected animals enough not to accept having them caged for some sadistic pleasure of the eyes, I only got my first dog two years back. Having a dog in rural England is very fulfilling. A different world from a crowded Portuguese city. Never in my life was I so close to nature. Everyday there's something new to observe and discover and you acquire a lot of wisdom if you're prone to that, with the relation human-animal. And the oaks, of course, the oaks...

I wish you weren't 🙂. Anyway, maybe time traveling import will bring them back one day. There are infinite ways as the universe.

Thought it would be useful to share my findings as they might be helpful to someone in the future. Have to wait 2 weeks for a dental apointment and I find myself with excruciating pain. Paracetamol and iboprufen not working anymore. Took some other Polish medication even stronger but guess what? Stopped working : ) Came to my mind two things said and written by Moshe Feldenkrais. I remembered him saying once in a video where he was treating a woman with chronic migraines that he had " many ways to trick her brain". With this in mind I tried to saturate my brain with "information" focusing in specific areas of both soles of my feet not giving any chance for the brain to give any attention to the pain. It worked. The pain was gone for more than 12 hours. Other thing that I have tried and again with Feldenkrais' ideas in mind was the following, according to him sensitivity is directly proportional to muscular relaxation. You can't feel a feather on the palm of your hand if you have been carrying heavy weights. So, if you try to feel soft or subtle things on the surface of your skin the surrounding musculature will relax. Again, it works. A soft hand barely touching my head and face made the musculature relax and stopped excruciating pain. Feeling very thankful to know what I know know and if it may help anyone, great : )

I guess I was a teen feeling lost and not being able to relate to school and its usefulness. Ended up quiting school to be at home and in libraries studying the things that really mattered to me. Destiny I guess. By chemical way I'm just talking about Colgate here 😁 there are more desperate ways which soldiers use so not to go into battle.

Indeed... I've learned as a child chemical ways with home items to induce fever. That would help me skip school. Won't share them as teenagers may reed this 🥶 Congrats for your talent 🔥
