Step one:
Give advice on how to be mindfuland meditate ( https://witches.town/@Filene/4509553 )

Step two:
Lock myself and baby out of the house thoughtlessly, with the car key and no house key.

Step three:
Laugh at myself on the trip, to my spouse's work and back.

Rule four: mindfulness & meditation seem as "taking stock of everything silently"
If you're able to monitor your breathing and body, you don't need to be instructing your subconscious in rhythm anymore. You can just trust your breathing, your pace of time, your safety.

When you trust your safety--or at least maximal awareness of it, you can take stock of more--& that means taking stock on taking stock. New feelings you had been missing. New ways you think that feel funny in your growing drought of expression.

These words can't give you what temperate practice will. Good luck! I've had stories/visions first birthed as thoughts.

Rule 3: mindfulness pays dividends
My latest sessions, where I feel I've grown enough to understand the patience I need for my success, have me believing I understand new things about my physicality as I progress in meditation. I actually feel progress and the meaning thereof.
While I can't say answers come for others as they come for me, I can say better: mindfulness IS an answer. Feeling completely aware and in control of/monitoring your physicality means you know enough to tell your body if you need to do otherwise, or if you are missing out on emotions. Imagine feeling no clench to your gut? Or already not feeling your thoughts?

My second rule: Rewarding meditation takes a bit.
It's almost like learning you walk, but nobody can show you, and the talented can tell when an individual is successful.
There are mental understandings of how to do it that may not make sense in a mere explanation. (Despite that, I want to write a meditation book. Maybe a "beginner's memoir to meditation")

When you've spent enough time getting good at meditating, you can be ready to receive understanding of your problem like a stream, drinking enough to get it, or a mere splash will be enough to wake. I don't know if this is meditation, but nowadays I think it counts, because #3:

@stardust @Ulfra_Wolfe Hi! I have #adhd, an erratic schedule, but my imagination works for many explainable reasons! #aboutme

My advice comes in 4 parts, 4 rules.

1st rule is: Trying to meditate is meditating.
When you sit, you won't necessarily know what you're going for, what you should feel, and such. Things will get in the way, and you'll last as long as you can. This is still meditation.
I'd say that you're particularly meditating on meditation: you're limiting things that don't matter to the topic &your aim; you're seeking to understand what you're missing; you're patiently awaiting the answers instead of pushing them.

@grainloom cc @amphetamine for the original retoot

@grainloom
Hey I just met you
And this is crazy
But there's a typo,
Compile maybe?

@guerrillarain Imgur, maybe? :/

@TipsyTentacle Brilliant!

@lifning Saving the environment

Is no joke

(Yeah, your signature meta reference went over my image-assuming familiarity TuT; )

Yay, personalization!

@lifning signatures? Like pgp ones, or images like on forums? I thought you'd actually be suggesting background images per toot, fonts, formatting, and so on. Signatures?

@chr @cnc I like all these!

@guerrillarain I have relatable hair problems. D:

@zebratron2084

I don't see any questions, so all I can hope is that your patience and temperance ultimately pays off.. Hang in there. :x <3

I'm still thinking of my Castathon yesterday. I've been feeling very different since Sunday. I felt I had realized I had been actively being the person I wanted to be. Looks, habits, politics, ambitions, intimacy, and so on.

I don't intend to let it stop. I've been feeling great today and yesterday, too. Could be a whole bunch of things, but I think they've coalesced into a major foundation.

I've a lot to get to. Job applications, book writing, book reading, propaganda creation, and maybe even finally get my company streaming again. :3
