Early on in the pandemic, some friends and I were laughing because I had mentioned I'd taken up mindfulness meditation and they were like "I wonder what Klingon mindfulness would look like." So I started making these fun little images and made "Klingon Mindfulness" a channel point redemption on my stream in 2021. Mindfulness meditation was a really transformative thing for me on a personal level. I started in 2019 and it is one of my most important self-care moments. Ironically, I started researching it because I was on the Star Trek Cruise and Nana Visitor did a morning meditation. Listening to people talk about their experiences - people with chronic pain, extreme anxiety & depression, ADHD, etc - was really encouraging to me - a person with ADHD, anxiety, and depression. One of the things I have loved about cosplaying a Klingon over the years is that it's an immediate confidence booster and grounds me in the moment. Just putting on the costume and getting into makeup is an act of meditation for me. The Klingon motto Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam helps keep me there. It's about living life to the fullest because you never know what may happen. It's not just about fighting hard but it's about loving, laughing, partying, and living hard (there are certainly folks out there who have to temper some of partying & living hard but the core tenants can remain). When you look at the practice of mok'bara, a very meditative practice, it doesn't seem so far-fetched to believe that Klingons would have wise warriors who offer sage wisdom to ground and bring one's mind into the present battle. Anyway, that's why I love Klingons. Qapla' batlh je!

«Центрация, прийти в себя за 40 секунд» - Это инструмент для гармонизации внутреннего состояния.

Как часто мы живем в спешке, интернет и жизнь, все становится слишком скоростным, это так же может быть связано с работой, семьей, друзьями и социальной активностью. Иногда мы не успеваем за всеми своими делами и наше эмоциональное состояние начинает нести нас на своих волнах. В такие моменты нам нужно быстро прийти в ресурсное, сильное и гармоничное состояние. Именно для этого было создано 5 видео роликов, соответствующих различным циркадным ритмам.

В каждом из этих видео определенные аудио частоты и визуально-цветовые спектры, чтобы помочь вам выбрать подходящий ролик для вашего настроения и времени суток. РАССВЕТ, ПОЛДЕНЬ, ВЕЧЕР, НОЧЬ и ГЛУБОКАЯ НОЧЬ - в каждом из этих времен мы можем настроить свою энергию на ступень сопряженную с циркадным ритмом. Например, утренний ролик с более высокими частотами и заряжен цветами солнца - дает возможность откалибровать день с энергией и уверенностью. А вечером, теплые приглушенные и низкие частоты могут помочь успокоить наш разум и подготовить наш организм к отдыху.

Для качественной гармонизации внутреннего состояния в видео используется техника центрации, одного качественного глубокого вдоха задержки дыхания и выдоха.

Центрирование позволяет сосредоточиться, успокоиться и прийти в гармонию с окружающим миром. Центрирование - это процесс настройки энергии и концентрации на своих целях. Техника центрации позволяет быстро и эффективно прийти в себя (к себе настоящему) в течение всего 40 секунд.

Таким образом, ролики помогают быстро и легко прийти в гармонию, сосредоточение и силу в любое время суток. Это простой и удобный способ обрести внутреннюю гармонию и осознаться за считанные секунды. Почувствовать силу и уверенность в любой ситуации.

Power Animals and Plants

By Norman W. Wilson, Ph.D

The shaman’s goal is to connect human consciousness to the natural and spiritual world. To do this, he or she uses animal and plant totems. Briefly, a totem is a symbol representing a spiritual aspect of a plant or animal and has importance to an individual or group. The shaman connects to the spirit of the animal or plant through a subliminal trance.

One acquires a spirit animal or plant through a variety of methods. Often, the spirit animal or plant will come to a person while he or she is on a vision quest. Its purpose and function are to help, or guide the human being. During journeying, a shaman may have his or her spirit helper along.

Most human beings can have a spirit animal or plant. There are various ways of acquiring one. Foremost, and before selection actually begins, you should have some idea as to why you want one, what it is you expect of your helper(s). Yes, you may have more than one power animal and or plant or any combination thereof.

Sit quietly and still in an outdoor area. Observe what birds, insects, and plants are around you. Pay close attention to their characteristics. Zero in on any that fascinate you. If your focus is a plant, examine its leaves, stem, and flower if it has one. Smell the plant. If you have a bird, squirrel, rabbit, chipmunk, or deer that comes into your zone, do not offer food. You may do that once a selection has been made if you are not in violation of the laws governing your area. The objective is not to make them a pet. If the plant or animal continues to hold a fascination (a strong interest) ask yourself which of its qualities or characteristics hold the most interest for you. Once you have noted that information, decide if you have the same qualities. Does it reflect qualities you would like to have? If so, then you have most likely selected your power animal or plant.

Can an animal select you?

Absolutely. You will know that by a recurring experience with that animal or plant. We are talking about synchronicity. Among Native Americans and some of the indigenous tribes of the Amazon, it is most significant if an animal spirit chooses you. It is very powerful and most likely will be a life-long spirit guide.

There are three types of spirit guides. The first, mentioned above, is the livelong spirit guide. This tutelary will work with you throughout your earth-life. Journey spirit guide is the second type. This one may stay a short time or may remain with you for over a year. It depends on how long it takes you to follow the way given to you by the guide. Time signifies the difference between this second type of spirit guide and the third. The third is the message guide. This one brings you an important and often life-altering message. At some point, if you tune into the magic of spirit animals and plants, you will experience all three types.

Taming the Monkey Mind: Buddhist Techniques for Emotional Balance

In the bustling theatre of our minds, emotions often play the leading role, swinging from one thought branch to another like a restless monkey. This constant chatter, known as the "Monkey Mind," can disrupt our emotional equilibrium, leading to stress, anxiety, and discontent. Buddhist teachings offer profound insights and techniques to tame this restless mind, fostering emotional balance and inner tranquility. This article delves into the concept of the Monkey Mind within Buddhist spirituality and provides a practical toolkit to help you cultivate emotional balance in your daily life.

Understanding the Monkey Mind in Buddhist Spirituality

The Monkey Mind, or the restless, unsettled state of mind, is a universal experience characterized by constant mental chatter, distractions, and fluctuations of emotions. In Buddhist spirituality, this phenomenon is closely related to the concept of "Samsara," the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth driven by our attachments, desires, and ignorance.

The Monkey Mind thrives on attachment to outcomes, clinging to past regrets, and fearing future uncertainties. It feeds on judgment, comparison, and the endless pursuit of desires, creating a turbulent inner landscape that clouds our judgment and robs us of peace.

Buddhist Techniques for Taming the Monkey Mind

1. Mindfulness Meditation

What it is: Mindfulness meditation involves cultivating awareness of the present moment, observing thoughts, emotions, and sensations without judgment.

How to practice:

Find a quiet space and sit comfortably.

Close your eyes and focus on your breath.

When your mind wanders, gently bring your attention back to your breath, acknowledging the wandering thought without judgment.

Benefits: Mindfulness meditation enhances self-awareness, reduces stress, and cultivates emotional balance by allowing you to observe the Monkey Mind without getting entangled in its chatter.

2. Practicing Non-attachment

What it is: Non-attachment involves letting go of clinging to desires, outcomes, and expectations, embracing impermanence and accepting the transient nature of life.

How to practice:

Reflect on areas where attachment causes emotional turbulence.

Practice letting go by acknowledging impermanence and focusing on the present moment.

Benefits: Non-attachment fosters emotional resilience, reduces suffering caused by attachment, and promotes a more balanced and equanimous state of mind.

3. Loving-kindness Meditation (Metta)

What it is: Metta meditation focuses on cultivating feelings of love, compassion, and kindness towards oneself and others.

How to practice:

Sit comfortably and close your eyes.

Begin by directing loving-kindness towards yourself, silently repeating phrases like "May I be happy, may I be peaceful."

Extend these feelings towards loved ones, acquaintances, and even those with whom you have conflicts.

Benefits: Metta meditation fosters compassion, reduces negative emotions, and strengthens interpersonal connections, promoting emotional balance and harmony.

4. Mindful Breathing

What it is: Mindful breathing involves focusing on the sensations of breathing, anchoring you in the present moment and calming the Monkey Mind.

How to practice:

Throughout the day, pause and focus on your breath.

Notice the sensations of breathing in and out, allowing it to ground you in the present moment.

Benefits: Mindful breathing promotes relaxation, clarity, and emotional balance, helping you navigate through emotional storms with calmness and poise.

5. Cultivating Gratitude

What it is: Gratitude involves recognizing and appreciating the positive aspects of life, fostering contentment and reducing the Monkey Mind's tendency to focus on negativity.

How to practice:

Keep a gratitude journal and write down three things you are grateful for each day.

Reflect on these moments of gratitude, cultivating a mindset of appreciation and abundance.

Benefits: Cultivating gratitude enhances emotional well-being, shifts focus from lack to abundance, and nurtures a positive outlook, reducing the grip of the Monkey Mind on your emotions.

Food For Thought:

Taming the Monkey Mind is a transformative journey towards emotional balance, inner peace, and spiritual growth. By incorporating mindfulness meditation, non-attachment, loving-kindness meditation, mindful breathing, and cultivating gratitude into your daily routine, you can tame the restless chatter of the Monkey Mind, fostering a more balanced, resilient, and harmonious state of mind.

Embrace these Buddhist techniques with an open heart and a curious mind, and watch as they unravel the knots of emotional turmoil, guiding you towards a life of greater serenity, clarity, and emotional balance.

Matthew Danchak Strategies for Daily Anxiety Relief

Anxiety is a common and sometimes debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide. While it's normal to feel anxious from time to time, chronic anxiety can interfere with daily life. Matthew Danchak is a mental health expert, shares some effective strategies for daily anxiety relief that can help you manage your symptoms and improve your overall well-being.

Practice Mindfulness Meditation

Mindfulness meditation is a powerful technique that can help reduce anxiety and stress. It involves focusing on the present moment and accepting it without judgement. By practising mindfulness meditation regularly, you can learn to observe your thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them, which can help reduce anxiety levels over time.

Exercise Regularly

Physical activity is not only good for your body but also for your mind. Regular exercise can help reduce anxiety levels by releasing endorphins, which are natural mood lifters. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week, such as walking, jogging, or yoga, to help keep anxiety at bay.

Maintain a Healthy Diet

Eating a balanced diet can have a significant impact on your mood and anxiety levels. Avoiding excessive caffeine, sugar, and processed foods, and focusing on whole foods rich in nutrients can help stabilize your mood and reduce anxiety. Consider incorporating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon, into your diet, as they have been shown to have mood-stabilizing effects.

Get Sufficient Sleep

Lack of sleep can exacerbate anxiety symptoms. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to help reduce anxiety and improve your overall well-being. Establishing a regular sleep schedule and creating a relaxing bedtime routine can help improve the quality of your sleep.

Practice Relaxation Techniques

Relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and visualization, can help calm your mind and reduce anxiety. Incorporate these techniques into your daily routine to help manage stress and anxiety effectively.

Limit Exposure to News and Social Media

Constant exposure to negative news and social media can increase anxiety levels. Limit your exposure to such sources of information and focus on positive and uplifting content instead. Consider taking breaks from news and social media to help reduce anxiety levels.

Stay Connected

Maintaining social connections is important for your mental health. Stay in touch with friends and family, and participate in social activities that you enjoy. Sharing your feelings with others can help reduce anxiety and provide you with much-needed support.

Seek Professional Help

If anxiety is significantly impacting your daily life, consider seeking professional help. A mental health professional, such as a therapist or counselor, can provide you with the support and guidance you need to manage your anxiety effectively.

Conclusion

Anxiety is a common condition that can be managed with the right strategies. By incorporating these strategies into your daily routine, you can reduce anxiety levels and improve your overall well-being. Matthew Danchak Shares tips for daily anxiety relief can help you take control of your anxiety and live a more fulfilling life.
