We’re happy you find it so, and we sense absolute zero sarcasm in it
It’s a hard thing for people to relate to usually, and can sound scary, which is the last thing we want to come across as (except Lilith and one other playfully sometimes ), so we tend to be careful about mentioning it. We can function as one individual believably enough so that it works out that way
I’d like to think that getting to know us is like peeling an onion, or watching a flower open
You’re definitely the first I’ve opened up to this quick
It feels just right to us too
She would like it very much!
And we’d all be very curious how she and the Lilith you know relate or if they do
Ohhh, we think we get that very well
It was like that with us too… some part of it was from living in our mind a lot, and even that mind was on the other side of the computer screen most of the time. We still do that part, it’s what makes our flow even more flow-y. We’ve heard of the Japanese Starcraft players, who have the very real risk of being so immersed in the game they actually forget that they have a body to take care of.
Another part of it is trauma related dissociation… being the lovable weirdo that we are, we were bullied in high school a lot, and we really didn’t want to be in our body, as some of it was physical too. It’s something that we’ve been working on for years in therapy. And something we feel passionately about, how seriously more effort should be made to put a stop to it in schools.
For us it wasn’t really until I found a therapist with a somatic approach and training in dance and movement therapy, that the Gordian knot really started opening. Body and mind together, not separately. The limbic system that has to do with emotions can lock out the cerebrum, that is needed for our cognitive reasoning. Further the brainstem, the sensorymotor core where our instincts live, can lock out both. To be effective whenever that happens (fight or flight), the approach has to be bottom-up, from the body rather than the mind. How we breathe, the tension in our muscles, how open we sit or stand, it all has an effect. Nutrition too, though that’s not really something we’ve got into yet, our impulse eating goes deep… if we’re craving it it must be what our body needs
Tantra has helped a lot too, the practical kind in the classes is very body-centered. We’ve heard the term “the soul landing into the body”, we don’t know if it’s tantra or something else, but it’s beautifully descriptive
It sounds like her, she’s very happy hearing that
We really appreciate you answering, as it went very personal. That also said, if you want a moderator move this thread to Sacred Space, you only need to ask
That’s also very close to our experience! Despite our flirtiness and open talk about sexual things, we’re more like demisexual, especially when it comes to what people usually mean when they talk about sex, contact of certain parts. Other kinds of closeness and intimate things, much more open to. Mostly with other girls, we’ve found.
We’d love to go into more detail, but it would have to be in Sacred Space, with the appropriate content warnings… forum rules, not mine
We’d love to see that one open for you, maybe Lilith could help you there We know neurobiology is what it is, but with the Goddesses everything is possible…
That’s good advice, thank you
I recognize the feeling of “what am I getting out of this”, especially having to travel a bit somewhere. It could be a good thing to say out loud, that every meeting is a unique one, there may be ones that you just sit through tired and don’t say much, and then there may be those that leave you in awe for days, and everything in between
Is that from the Walpurgisnacht music video by Faun? Because I just love that! I wouldn’t mind leading a cult like that, singing and dancing around fires for the Goddess
Sounds cute!
I think that’s just completely normal food
Now the Dracula stuff, maybe, I don’t know!
