How to experience Exquizitingles: staying present with Uplifting and Emotional Trance and breathing through the Rush

by dawnraver, posted in 5 : 2 diet

I've found a new track that gives me the shivers. Always a happy moment. I'll get good mileage out of this one, before the neuronal pathways finally become too familiar. To get such a phenomenon to occur, you listen intently, and don't try to generate energy. It's not about effort. It's just a redirection of … Continue reading How to experience Exquizitingles: staying present with Uplifting and Emotional Trance and breathing through the Rush

An old hunter gatherer tale about trance dance as psychological therapy

by dawnraver, posted in 5 : 2 diet

While HDRing yesterday morning, I had a psychological and Easter-themed insight into the San baboon story, and how it seems to be about trance dance and reshaping self-image. In the story, the baboon people mock Kaggen's son (this being inspired by baboon calls sounding like mocking laughter), saying he's not as clever as he thinks … Continue reading An old hunter gatherer tale about trance dance as psychological therapy

We failed to get filled up today with much food And yet now as we settle this failure feels good As the sight of the slow-sinking Sun sends a sign To relinquish our tools, and relax and resign To let go of our goals and our aims for the day We can loosen our hold, … Continue reading Ode to Space Dub on a Fasting Evening

Does the need to Just Stop Oil make it OK to throw tomato soup over a Van Gough? Here’s why it’s actually self-defeating. (And why fasting and rewilding are not fads)

There are some recent enthusiasms which could be viewed as fashions or fads, but which deserve to be much more than that. Hyyge, Rewilding, Fasting – these are some that spring straight to mind. Sometimes fasting approaches such as regular reduced calorie days (e.g. 5:2) get labelled as fad diets. I don’t agree with this … Continue reading Does the need to Just Stop Oil make it OK to throw tomato soup over a Van Gough? Here’s why it’s actually self-defeating.

When is it unseemly to celebrate? I‘ve got this formula for elevated celebratory states which I know works well: fasting (restricting to around 500 cals of healthy plant-based foods) for a day and night, waking after a good sleep, having a double espresso (plus high B-vits and Vit C) and then dancing to Uplifting Trance … Continue reading Seemly Celebration: Joytarian Corridors to the Future Peace

Taking the Mood Dampers Off with Hypericum Flavonoids on Post-Fast days: A key to successful, sustainable 5:2 dieting?

The original reverb peddle was the piano’s sustain peddle. The default for a piano is for the felt dampers to come down as soon is a key is released to stop the piano wire from vibrating. This stops the note when you release it, allowing for clear and cohesive melody and chord progressions without all … Continue reading Taking the Mood Dampers Off with Hypericum Flavonoids on Post-Fast days: A key to successful, sustainable 5:2 dieting?
