After a life as a textbook liberal atheist, I've only recently begun opening up to a spiritual reality, so my insights are nascent and thus rudimentary. However, it seems to me that the physical realm has an inherent value when manifesting spirit, so the first step is alignment of the body, the spirit's true temple. Yoga or a more individualized, meditatively concocted practice (mine is spiral yoga) deafens animal instinct and creates space for a body alignment to begin the alignment of body and mind. Once the mind is freed and starts connecting to the metaphysical, you enter a new paradigm of reality that can be as enlightening or blinding as the strength of your self-awareness will allow. Bro be high as a mf.

I’m no yoga teacher this is just my own personal observation but the chakras happen to correspond almost exactly with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs isn’t that crazy! And with both of them you’re supposed to start at the bottom and work your way to the top because you can’t fully reach the next level without having that more base need fulfilled. The thinking is that chakras can be under active or over active so if there’s an imbalance or blockage in one energy flows too intensely or not at all.
I had the realization lately that in all of my time doing yoga since probably like 2017 I’ve only ever gone up as far the heart, save for a few times, and I was usually most focused on the root and sacral chakras; I would often skip the solar plexus and go straight to the heart when I was feeling wounded. I could psychoanalyze myself about what this means but I’ll spare you… this week I’ve been really feeling my sacral, heart, and throat chakras but I noticed today that I’ve had the strongest feelings in my solar plexus chakra so my plan is to explore that tonight.
I just think it’s interesting and it dovetails nicely with The Body Keeps the Score. But on a purely physical level working through your chakras is an amazing and effective way to align your spine, release tension, and feel into your body. It’s very rewarding and energizing to do more active chakra flows but I’m honestly in hibernation mode still and I need to chill out so I like to do yin and just passively release

It’s easy to know when we’re feeling off, a little harder to pinpoint why. SAMSHA’s “Eight dimensions of wellness” remind us that physical health and mental health are only part of the picture — you may also be feeling financially, socially, spiritually, environmentally, intellectually or occupationally depleted. Nurturing all components is critical for a balanced, well life. Check it out and see if you’re feeling strain in a certain category to help you determine steps to alleviate it.

I love symbolism !!! Like, yes I wanna read between the lines to some crazy backstory. The Origins mean everything. I want the signs to show themselves to me. I am ready.

I work in the fine art industry and I have done many roles - intern, photographer, gallery assistant, digital/photo lab assistant, art handler, registrar, and archivist. I’ve been in this game since I was 15 (s/o FotoFest International) - I am now 28. I’ve seen many types of situations unfold and have met lots of different personality types. You will meet narcissists, artists with insane egos, and some of the nicest, brilliant people. You will also meet nepo babies, people who don’t know what to do, and people who are really about it. Personally, I am an artist who wants to work with artists to help them succeed and archive their work. Tbh for me, I love someone who can have a crazy personality but is also grounded. Right now, I am an archivist at Gladstone Gallery and I am plotting my own art advisory. Seeking surrealists tbh.

Sunday I saw Dune II. Today a coworker of mine said he was into people who are fearless. I’ve been challenged time and time again for the past two years since moving to NYC from Texas - being at my lowest points and at some of the highest. Risk and impulsive decisions can be fun if you are smart with it. The theme of this year is: Fear Less; Learning the Lesson and Taking Action.
