I need a healthy way of taking my mind off shit dude. I’m so stressed out. I always used to smoke weed. I quit 6 months ago. And I’m getting into the habit of drinking stress away but that’s retarded. I tried video games and they just don’t take my mind far enough from the bullshit. Ideallly removing the shit stressing me out would be the best. But I can’t always do that. Learning how to not let things totally engulf me would be sweet too. But idk how. I’ve been doing good monitoring the self talk in my head. But today things have reached a breaking point and I just want to say fuck life and give up. It’s noon and I’ve flirted with the idea of getting out the liquor already.
What helps you with stress?
Ok this is a work in progress, I am refining but the basic jist is there, needs better explaining but hopefully u can get what i mean...
A Speed Guide To Enlightenment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Detox the Body
Cut out drugs, sugar, caffiene, alcohol and any negative and excessive foods.
Fast or cut down food to raw mimimum such as plain oatmeal for several days of bland foods - to reset the bodies craving/pleasure seeking mind
Change your diet to fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and mushrooms
Eat medicinal plants, Probiotics, Drink aloe vera, shittake, enoki and lions mane mushrooms
Exorcise, Walk everyday or cycle somewhere at minimum, yoga
Remove digital / info addiction (phones, computers, newspapers) to reset the seeking mind
Stop the addiction to being emotionally triggered by negative or positive news stories or statements or words made by others.
Communication and Expression
Talk in a positive manner to at least 1 new person you do not know everyday
Never hold back when you feel you should say something but say it carefully
If you repress your thoughts they will manifest as negative energy in the body/mind
Express Yourself with a musical instrument, art, singing or any form
Communication and expression clears the thinking mind and releases negative energy from the body
Do not express anger or hate as this creates negative energy for yourself and others.
Be thoughtful and careful before expressing oneself to another.
Tame the Thinking mind
loops loopy
addiction to thinking
denial of desire, seeking mind always wants the next thing, deny this to increase your presence and raise awareness
The mind and body learns by association, one thought leads to another.
This is what causes compulsive behaviour, for example - if you smoke a cigarette after dinner, then when ever you eat you will notice the mind brings up
the thought of a cig after eating. This is association, it is how the mind and memory works.
In order to break negative patterns of behaviour we are going to become aware of the thoughts when they arise and then DENY engaging in the activity.
This stops the compulsive action and thought from being re-enforced.
If you deny it enough eventually you will not even get the thought of the cigarette after dinner.
This is you training your own mind so that you can take control of your mind and body.
Many people do not realise that they are often acting completely unconsciously because they have never been taught to control association in the mind.
The more you give in to any compulsive thought or action, the more re-enforced that thought becomes.
The more you deny giving in to that action or allow the thought to pass the more it diminishes and will disappear completely.
Thankfulness and gratefulness, maybe this is just access to clean water and oatmeal,
gratefulness allows you to enjoy every moment, it curbs the relentless desire and false belief that happiness is around the corner
Thought Effects the Body
The thinking minds Connection to the pain body
collective thoughts are picked up by others and critical of oneself or others
thoughts create mental pain which manifest as emotional pain in the body
the pain body (is what we release when we sleep)
the cause of emotional pain is actually thought and this also leads to physical illness.
The Ego (a false sense of self)
the ego is identifying with thinking, it means you believe your thoughts are your identity
Dualism Paradigm
rich / poor
tall / short
good n bad
greater than
lesser than
this all comes in root from sexual desire, sexual competition leads to comparing yourself against potential competitors or mates, this behaviour is not useful (even in finding a mate)
all is a balance, all is equal, whenever you fall into a paradigm of dualism always take a step back and consider that both and or neither may be true,
do not pick a side to believe in at all, all it to be
stop imagining the past or future, not being present
Blameing others, blaming the self, do not think about the self or others at all,
Bigging up oneself, bigging up others egos
the ego (believing you are the thoughts is the cause of your suffering and others)
allow these thoughts to pass as they only serve to inflate the ego
the ego does not actually exist, it is simply a thought form or complex set of thoughts and beliefs
YOU are not the ego at all, you are the observer, the witness - consciousness
Identity
you are not collective (identity past / culture / country)
you are not your thoughts
many people imagine how other percieve them but this imagination is always incorrect,
you cannot second guess how you are percieved and try to create a fiction this always leads to sufering
Witness them as becoming aware of our thoughts allows them to pass
Awakening is the realisation that you are not your thoughts or ego
All you have to do is be
To be is without words or thoughts in the mind, it is not to try and act a character,
it is awareness, being here now, being present
the greatest illusion is seperation,
open your mind, we are all one species, one life, one planet, one universe, one consciousness or life energy flows through all
that is being, it is what we truely are.
Love and Hate
Egotistical love and unconditional love are very different things. Egotistical love seeks a trophy. Ego seeks to be lied too, too be told it is the most beautiful, the most desireable lover.
True love is unconditional and it is the fabric of consciousness. Love your enemy as you do your partner.
This does not mean you go and hug a person who wishes to hit you as you will only get hit!
But forgive them for where they are on their individual journey. This may be difficult to grasp at first but it is the truth.
It does not mean you do not defend yourself. You are always capable of self defence should it be nessacery and you are under physical attack but do not be angered by or hate your attacker.
They are on their own path and likely are copying learnt behaviour as they were themselves attacked or taught that to attack others when young.
Try to forgive them for they know not what they do.
If you hate someone or are angry with someone then it is only you who is experiencing the hate and/or anger thus you are choosing to harm your own self.
Many try to concentrate their love and happiness into a object or their lover or the next bit of food or gaining motre money.
These are all illusions and false.
Happiness and love is now, it is the present
labels tend to define things into a duality and then they cannot be seen any more
you can think without words at all, experience, be. See that love is in everything.
Letting go atattchment
You cannot fight the world
You can only change yourself
Let go of your story of your past
Facing fear, guilt, shame, accept the self, accept life, accept death
Let go of dislike, of any hate or resentment or loss
Let go of atatchment to objects, money, people, lovers.
Camp a night alone in the wild or go on a lone wolf holiday and immerse in the culture to release all fear and ilusion of identity
Meditate everyday (eyes closed or in sunlight can help noobs)
Release all attatchment to fear, possesions, people, money, worry, future, past.
Belief
Build over time from the moment we born
often we take the beliefs of others
we can take on the beliefs of the collective identity (culture, race, family, teachers, jobs)
visit ant interact with a new culture
open you mind to release all beliefs
It is your beliefs that block you and lower your vibratinal frequency.
Beliefs are like blinkers, blinders or sun glasses that stop you seeing what is there.
Release all beliefs
negative beliefs often hamper new meditators, the inner voice can come in and say "this wont work" or something similar
remember beleifs are what block you!
Let go of everything and anything you believe in but allow your self to have faith in your self, in life
Have faith in the universe because you are it.
Meditation
Eyes closed / sensory deprivation help
Awareness of thought
Awareness of bodys Response
Awareness allows the diminishing
Become the observer of thought allow it to pass
You no longer identify the thoughts as your self (they are not)
Focus on Breath
Use Ryhmic Breathing, maintain focus
If thoughts arise you can use mantra
Believe in yourself (not ego just in life, in being here now) not any negative inner voice that may arise
Guided Meditation
Sit comfortably in Sunlight
Close eyes
Clear the thinking mind
Concentrate on the present moment
The mind may wander, thoughts return
Allow them to pass
The past is gone, the future does not exist
There is only the now
Become aware of the present moment, do not drift
Become aware of sounds
Aware of the body
Allow the body to relax
Feel your body
Imagine your inner self as light
Feel the vibration or frequency
Imagine that light brightening and growing
Expanding to cover everyone you love
Love your enemies love all of humanity
Love all life the animals, the insects
Love your self, your body, the bacteria, be one with all
Expand your light and expand it to cover your city
Love the earth, the galaxy, the Universe.
Allow your frequency to raise to its highest.
With practice you can connect to your higher self, the one consciousness.
Daily Practise
Play a a simple musical instrument to create peace and presence
Bless somebody with postive energy (simple as smiling to a shop worker and saying have a good day!)
Presence
Awareness of any thought that arises (awareness is awakening and the first step to diminishing ego completely)
Mantra
Breath Focus
Present moment
The more you pay attention to your iner voice the less grip or belief in the thouhts has
Become aware of the thought stream and letting go of it, allow it to pass is also called awakening,
it is the realisation that you are not your thoughts, you are not your ego and at this point,
you are free of the illusion of the self.
If you are aware of your thoughts then you have taken the first step to diminsihing the ego and addiction to negative thinking
Most people go in and out of consciousness, they drift in and out of awareness
The more you pay attention to the thoughts the more they dimish and the more presence you have and thus you are more awake and more aware
The more awareness you have the more you control your mind, body and spirit.
Enjoy your body
No more thinking but feel
Feel energy thats what everything is.
--------------------
The secret to life is to put positive loving energy Into every thought and action you do <3
Be Aware. Believe. Be here now
Everything is a reflection of ones self. Of God and you are God. All is conscious. All is consciousness.
There is no death, only life. Your mission is to raise your vibration and every one else around you.
Open Your Mind!
