hm

ever try sitting in meditation cross legged for a long time and your lower back just gets super hurt?

<:uwu:630195518059839498>

yeah

I've had that

the nervous system and the body are not ready to sit that way

ah

<:gabenaGA:488103729338384384>

you must train your physical vessel

our body is JUST as divine as our mind

we are not mere meat-suits

@Goose Druid yeah man. Its like sitting the traditional Japanese way. You gotta get used to it

Drain the physical vessels

that's kinda disappointin'

😔

well an important thing to remember as well is every person is going to have their own way

if yoga doesn't float your boat

@Goose Druid ngl I was disappointed with how this server didn’t value the body as much in occult practice especially as a past athlete <:sadpepe:619648239020408852> <:sadpepe:619648239020408852> <:sadpepe:619648239020408852>

yoga is also an exercise in overcoming pain and joint pressure. the process of ignoring pain and going through with the action and sustaining the action is beneficial in a number of ways.

even though it's great exercise that releases lots of great endorphins and increases grey matter (RAM) in the brain

you can always go corpse pose on your back

and just practice where you are comfortable

I'm excited to heal from surgery more so I can do yoga again

ah yeah I remember that

Corpse pose?

yeah it's a pose that emulates death

I did it once

how the fuck have I forgotten about that

@lilison venerating the body as divine is something that took me a while to approach

yeah I once meditated in corpse pose

that was some good shit

fuck

it's wonderful

yeah

alright time to skate

like fucking 30F weather

That's always how I do meditation actually. In corpse pose. Didn't know it was called that
