MEDITATION IS MEGA NAMASTE AND WORKS WONDERS. WHAT STARTED AS A BIT OF A CHEEKY OBSESSION WITH ALL THINGS SPIRITUAL HAS REALLY HELPED MY MIND. PLUS I READ COURTNEY LOVE CHANTS FOR HOURS LIKE EVERY EFFING DAY FOR SOBRIETY. I WISH I COULD HAVE A SHAMAN OR A GURU IN MY PERSONAL ENTOURAGE BUT FOR NOW I STICK WITH GUIDED MEDITATION WITH A THERAPIST OR ONE OF THOSE LAME APPS. OR DMT. MEDITATING REALLY EFFING SOOTHES LE RACING THOUGHTS FOR REAL. PRAYER BEADS ADD A STYLISH MINDFULNESS. I ALWAYS GOT MINE AT THAT TIBET STORE ON 2ND AVE WITH THE HOT CRUST PUNKS/ OOGLES OUTSIDE OF IT….BUT SADLY IT HAS CLOSED.

Agree to all the above.
In terms of resources, the deepak chopra 30 day meditation challenge is super helpful and easy to get into (I can send you the files for most of the days cuz it’s crazy expensive if you want)
People like calm and the apps, but also Tara brach has a ton of free guided meditations online (don’t love em but you might).
Also I do ananda marga meditation, which involved being connected to a teacher and getting a personal mantra which was transformative to my practice (and free unlike transcendental meditation) happy to connect you there as well :) here is a video intro to that !

Best of luck and feel free to hit me up w more questions ❤️

If you have something in your life (literally in any form) that brings you outside of yourself and brings you to a state of peace, hold on to that. Realize that this is your form of mediation and stick to it regularly. My life is moving very fast and I lose sight of those things sometimes, and when I do I go insane. Right now my meditation is being in Ableton or Blender but I want to get back into regular mediation in nature since Ableton and Blender are also my career now lol.

EVERYONE IN NEW YORK LIKES TO SHIT ON MIDTOWN. I THINKS THERES THIS IDEA THAT HATING ON MIDTOWN MAKES YOU A REAL NEW YORKER BUT THESE DAYS ITS ACTUALLY MEGA HIPSTER TO LOVE MIDTOWN AND CALL IT UNDERRATED. SPECIFICALLY WEST MIDTOWN. NOT LIKE FUCKING MURRAY HILL. IN PROXIMITY TO HELLS KITCHEN IS THE BEST, HELLS KITCHEN HAS THE BEST SALVATION ARMY IN AN OLD DIRTY BUILDING WITH GREAT FURNITURE AND TONS OF ACTUALLY THRIFT PRICED CLOTHING AND ITS CONFUSING TO GET INTO THE BUILDING AND ITS RIGHT BY THAT FREEDOM TUNNEL GRAFFITI WRITERS LOVE. MIDTOWN AND HELLS KITCHEN HAS SOME OF THE LAST CRUSTY WEIRDO OLD PEEPS THAT MAKE THE CITY FAB, LIKE PEEPS THAT MUTTER TO THEMSELVES AND HAVE WEIRD OUTFITS AND CLEARLY HAVE HAD THE SAME RENT CONTROL APARTMENTS FOR LIKE A BILLION YEARS AND KNOW EVERYONE ON THEIR BLOCK AND STORIES ABOUT THE “OLD NEW YORK” AND GET THE CITY MYTHOLOGY THAT WE ALL ARE SUCKERS FOR!!!!!!

I HAVE NOT ACCOMPLISHED THIS BUT IT IS CERTAINLY SOMETHING I AM MEGA INTO THESE DAYS. REHAB-ESQ MENTALITY AND ALL THAT. ACTUAL REHAB SUCKED BEYONDDDDDD AND I HAD TO DROP OUT BUT I'M MAKING PROGRESS! I DONT HAVE ANYTHING PROFOUND TO SAY BUT I REALLY ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO JUST EMBRACE LE PROCESS AND STOP DRIVING THEMSELVES INSANE. IM SORRY TO DISAPPOINT THE ED GIRLS ONLINE WHO LOVE MY PROANNA PHOTOS AND I DONT MIND IF THEY STILL USE THEM BUT IM O.V.E.R. IT! YEARS OF ANOREXIA HAS DESTROYED MY BOOBS AND BULIMIA HAS REALLY TRIED TO RUIN MY EFFING LIFE. BULIMIA HAD ME LIVING LIKE HOWARD HUGHES AT THE END OF HIS LIFE MINUS THE MORMON BUTLERS.

ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN I REALIZED I WAS A WRITER I BECAME OBSESSED WITH ALL THINGS BEATNIK, BEAT-CHIC, AND BOHEMIAN. ITS THE BEST WRITER CLICHE EVER. CLICHES ARE A GREAT THING, ESPECIALLY IN NEW YORK EFFING CITY. A FEW MONTHS AGO I HAD A HAPPENING, IN HONOR OF LE GREAT BEAT WRITERS AND PARTIERS. I WAS MOSTLY BLACKED OUT ON PILLS THE ENTIRE TIME, BUT THATS LE VIBE OF A HAPPENING. TYPICAL READINGS ARE BORING AND BASICALLY AN UN-CHIC ABOMINATION. A HAPPENING IS VINTAGE, MESSY, A BIG MIX OF PARTY ENERGY WITH A SALON FLAIR. WE HAD BONGO DRUMS, FOLK MUSIC, SHITTY POEMS, ARTSY PERFORMANCES. IT WAS A TOTAL SHIT SHOW BUT ALSO PEACEFUL AND FAB. I SCREAMED A BUTCHERED VERSION OF HOWL, OBVIOUSLY. IF I GET IT TOGETHER ENOUGH I'LL HAVE ANOTHER IF THERE AREN'T TOO MANY KNOCK OFFS BY THEN. YOU SHOULD ALL COME AND READ OR PLAY THE TAMBOURINE OR WHATEVER. MAKE SURE TO DRESS LIKE BOB DYLAN OR PATTI SMITH OR A DOWNTOWN CLICHE.
