Eat me out while I rip this bong
The ‘How are you?’ check list post
• Did you eat?
• Have you been drinking water?
• Have you had your hug?
• Have you taken your medication?
• Don’t worry, you look amazing.
• It’s okay to take the day off.
• Stay in if you don’t feel like going out.
• Do you need to be alone right now?
• If you feel like you’re disassociating, try counting your fingers or looking at your finger whorls. Remember that they are unique to you, that you are real.
• If you are having a panic attack:
1: Ground yourself to reality with something familiar like a keychain or even pictures of something on your phone. [Cats and dogs are good.] Also, do not trust everything your mind/body is telling you right now. Thoughts like, ‘i’m going to die’, ‘everyone is leaving me’, ‘everyone hates me’, are a part of the panic, try not to linger on them, because they will only make it worse.
2: Find a space that feels the safest for you, and stay there.
3: Take slow, deep breaths. After breathing in, hold it for a few seconds before breathing out.
4: Stimulate your mind with something simple, and not stressful. Tap your fingers, re-read nice messages from someone, play a game one your phone that doesn’t require any thought or is timed.
5: You are doing a really good job. You don’t have to feel embarrassed. You are not alone. You are strong.
• Have you spoken today?
• Don’t feel guilty for feeling upset, you’re allowed to.
• Did you brush your teeth?
• If someone’s misgendered you today, and you’re out, correct them if you can.
• You don’t always have to be brave. You can hide today, if that’s what you need.
• Take a deep breath.
• If you’re wearing a binder, raise your arms and take several deep breaths. Cough to clear your lungs.
• Don’t be afraid, you’re not alone.
• If you’ve been sitting a while, stand up and stretch.
• Eat something sweet. (If you like it)
• You’re awesome.

Your suffering is still valid and you’re still loved. You’re still worth worth something.

probably my favorite thing about witchcraft is how diy it is. like, I used to be catholic and it was like “this has power because it was anointed by a priest” and witchcraft is like “fuck that. anoint it yourself. you have all the power of the universe in your little hands” and I love it.

Magick, my friend
Tattoo artist: Do you take some kind of pain suppressant before coming in?
Me: No. Why?
TA: Because this piece has taken a total of nearly nine hours and you never move.
Me: (That’s cause: Magick, my friend.)
Skin be steel flesh be stone Nerves be strong, as gem or bone Let pain be but kisses, or breaths of air Magic be my armour, for i will not bear Neither the sufferings of the dead or the agonies of hell Runes of blood, now serve me well
I’m tired.
50 Meditation Tips
- By Jess Carlson.
I get it. Meditation isn’t always easy. You don’t always have time for it. And maybe you just suck at it. I get it, really I do. Even though now meditation is something I can do easy peasy {mostly} I used to struggle like you wouldn’t believe with just getting my head to shut up long enough to get a few quiet breaths in. Spoiler Alert! You’ll never get your head to shut up. Not truly.
Here’s the thing though – we need meditation. Your excuses and past experiences don’t matter. It’s time to hack it, try something different, and just practice! The number of benefits to meditation are massive. You’ve heard them all by now I’m sure:
Stress reduction
Lower blood pressure
Better focus
Better ability to handle high-pressure situations
Immune system boost
Reduction in negative emotions
Better relationships
Developed intuition
Better nervous system function
Better chances of avoiding heart disease
And that’s just scratching the surface {check out this list of 100 meditation benefits}.
Meditation is simply the practice of maintaining a sense of peace and mental calmness for a period of time. It is not about having no thoughts. To try and empty the mind completely is a waste of time and it defeats the true purpose of mediation. All you need to do is simply let those thoughts come and go. You can’t control the fact that they pop up but you can control hold you react or hang on to them.
So I have for you 50 tips, some super quick and simple, and a few a little more involved, to help you make it happen:
Listen to chants or kirtans. {Deva Premal and Krishna Das are my favs!}
Let the noise around you be like natural music rather than a distraction.
Don’t close your eyes.
Keep a soft gaze on a candle flame.
Count your breaths to keep your brain busy {count 1 on an inhale, 2 on an exhale, and so on up to 10 then start again}.
Stretch first so your body is loose, just like before any exercise you do.
Have a purpose for your meditation. {just being quite is a purpose!}
Make it a ritual.
Try different meditation techniques from different traditions + cultures.
Commit to start with 10 days of meditation without skipping a day.
Use guided meditations.
Meditate when everyone else in the house is asleep or out.
Meditate before you get out bed in the morning.
Meditate at the same time every day.
Use mala beads.
Sit quietly and just mentally list what you’re grateful for that day. {hey, that’s mediation!}
Stop meditating when it feels like it’s time, regardless of what the clock says.
You only need a few minutes a day {5-10 is perfect}, not hours.
If you have a scratch, scratch it! It’s more distracting to try to ignore it.
Start where you are with just 2-3 minutes a day – that’s better than no minutes a day!
Do activities that let your mind wander like looking out the windows at clouds floating.
Write down all your thoughts, frustrations, and to-do’s on a piece of paper so you can get it out of your head before sitting down to meditate.
Mediation has no true beginning or end so don’t worry about the destination and focus on the journey.
Adjust your posture when you start – if you can’t comfortably take a deep breath, shift.
The mind is always changing, so your meditation practice will always change – some days will be harder than others.
The mind is meant to think, so give yourself a few minutes every time to just let the mind do what it wants.
Practice with consistency is the only way it will get easier.
It’s ok to just sit there – just sitting there and being focused on that alone creates an intentioned focus.
Keep a journal handy to write down your Ah-Ha’s and your Ah Crap’s – then work to fix the Ah Crap moments.
Keep track of your excuses and then stop making them!
Do a mediation challenge with a friend – hold each other accountable.
Be realistic and honest with yourself about why you’re doing meditation – what are you looking for?
Don’t judge your meditation – no meditation is good or bad – you get what you need each time.
Turn off and drop out – shut down computers, phones, and anything that can distract you and pull you out of your meditation and back to the daily grind.
Don’t start off with your eyes closed – after getting settled and doing some breathing, let your eyes close naturally.
Make use of the “me time” that you already have – meditate in the shower, on our lunch break, or while you’re walking the dog.
Your mind will wonder and you will start to think – acknowledge when this happens and then turn your attention back to your breath, breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth.
Begin being more present and in the moment in your every daily life {you know, not trying to be a multitasking master} – this will help your meditation practice.
Make sure you’re sitting somewhere that you are completely safe.
You don’t need a special mediation room – you can meditate anywhere you’re comfortable.
Meditation is like running – you have to start small and build muscle to go long distances.
Meditation will never give you a permanent sense of bliss and well-being – instead it gives you a tool to help you create a space of peace and calm in your mind when you need it most.
Create a schedule for building and growing your meditation practice and then stick to it.
If you’re meditating in the morning, do it before your coffee.
Don’t do your meditation after eating, especially big meals – try to meditate on an empty stomach.
Let gravity do it’s thing and really feel the sensation of sitting in your body.
Stretch when you’re done to awaken your body, but don’t jump up and move around too quickly.
Don’t use a timer and don’t rush – just do things in the time that comes naturally.
Cover your eyes with something if you feel the light or outside world distracting.
If your emotions are high and get in the way, turn your attention to your body – where do you really feel these emotions gathering in your body? Acknowledge that, feel it, then let it go and focus back on your breath.
– B.D: I still need practice, but I usually meditate best with my eyes open and just staring blankly at the wall or something. Idk why but when my eyes are closed, my imagination peaks and I just start imagining images that distract me or I just fall asleep lol. Of course I blink, scratch an itch, move a bit to get comfortable, but I’m still meditating. You can meditate while moving. And for me, it’s just as simple as doing it while sitting still. Maybe even simpler because I’m not concentrating on sitting so still, and even if I do move a bit, I am still relaxed.
I also breath in through my nose for the count of 4 seconds, then breath out of my mouth for the count of 4 seconds until I start getting into a meditative state. Then I just continue breathing in my nose and out my mouth. I keep my mouth opened just a little bit the whole time so I don’t have to keep opening and closing my mouth the entire time. I just concentrate on my breathing and nothing else. Sometimes I concentrate on my chakras or I do a tree meditation (I reblogged a version recently, but you can see the version I use here).
I usually meditate laying down or sitting against the wall with a pillow behind my back. It’s more comfortable for me that way. But I always do it on my bed. The floor hurts my butt then I get distracted by the pain or numbness lol.
