General & Brain Meditation

First off, a quick update on my tech troubles: I’m still figuring out how to navigate everything here! The mobile app doesn’t let me do anything, so I have to use the website on my phone just to post. But even on the website, I still can’t respond to comments (it only shows me the edit pencil on my own posts), and whenever I try to search topics or start a new post, it keeps routing me to the site feedback and announcement page with zero results. So please bear with me while I learn the ropes—I’m reading your kind words, even if I can’t reply directly yet! :joy::mobile_phone:

That brings me to something I really wanted to share with you all today.

About a year and a half ago, I stumbled across a YouTube channel called Eye of Wisdom. They put out a new video every single day, diving deep into raw spiritual energy, cosmic shifts, the unknown, and the unseen forces of the afterlife.

It’s not a podcast at all—there’s something that I do iit as a part of my daily ritual. give me guidance, ground me, and most importantly makes you think. That’d one muscle you can’t see in the mirror. It’s more powerful than we even know :crystal_ball::raising_hands::brain::prayer_beads:

I don’t take every single word to heart literally, but I call it “Meditation for the Brain.” :brain::sparkles: Every day, I take about 25 minutes (working it around my afternoon and midnight hospice shifts) to listen, reflect, and connect those insights with my daily Tarot cards and Kau Cim stick pulls.

It reminds me of that classic line from the Grateful Dead song Box of Rain:

“Believe it if you need it, if you don’t, just pass it on…” :musical_notes::high_voltage:

For anyone who loves exploring cosmic mysteries, unseen energies, and venturing down that spiritual rabbit hole, I highly recommend checking it out!

Would love to hear your thoughts if anyone else tunes into them! And would love some recommendations on anything that works the brain. And I’m going to share a few pictures that my Morning ritual: meditation woods walking. That’s a whole new topic I shall bring up another day: walking meditation and its benefits. I also just added two pictures to show you what I’m talking about when try to get off site feedback and announcement. Everytime it says no result. Every letter of the alphabet in my example shows no result. I’ll figure it out, I promise, but until then, I’ma just excited. I’ve got a couple of hours before I have to be at work. There’s so much to share, and I’m so happy to be here.

Firstly, it takes a very special person to provide support, care and listen to the person and their families who themselves will be going through their own pain coming to terms with their loved one who are receiving end of life care. It is a very emotional service you provide.

Being in nature, photography, meditation is very healing.

I find it very difficult to meditate I can’t seem to relax enough my brain is too active with work and family commitments. I am ok with this as I find relaxation just being in nature walking barefoot, deep breathing, looking and listening..

Your photographs are stunning :waxing_gibbous_moon::dotted_six_pointed_star::green_heart:

Thank you so much for your kind words!

It took me a long time to finally get relaxed enough to shut my racing brain off and truly enjoy meditation. What really turned the corner for me was guided meditation. I’ve taken a few courses—including past-life regression—and learned how to tune into frequencies and listen deeply to the sounds around me. It’s truly amazing once you conquer that mental chatter and settle in. The Eye of Wisdom channel just gives me great ideas to reflect on. I listen daily, jot down things that stand out, and check back a few days later to see if or how they played out in my life. It has become a great tool for self-reflection.
I love taking photographs! Coming up on this Sturgeon Full Moon and the lunar eclipse, I promise I’ll be out taking multiple pictures—whether I’m on shift or off! :full_moon::camera_with_flash:
Hospice caregiving can definitely be draining, but I find so much gratitude and purpose in it, especially being there for people at the very end of their road. I carry a lot with me, but I make sure to absorb and hold space for the negative energy and heavy emotions of the clients and families, and then intentionally release it all when I leave. It’s definitely not a calling for everybody, but it’s something I’m deeply passionate about—just like my love for the Moon. I know we’re going to have a lot of great discussions and share plenty of awesome photos ahead! :heart_hands::full_moon::man_in_lotus_position::raising_hands::yin_yang::sagittarius::sparkles:

I’ll have to check them out; they sound neat! Although I’m awful at meditation that doesn’t involve reading to go with it. I’ve never heard of them. Their videos look colorful.

Oh, btw, here’s something that might help you use the forum!

I love your pictures, by the way! I half expected to see a Fae hiding under those tree roots! Nice1

Love it! :fairy: And the show is not actually a meditation guide. I use it to shut off my brain :brain: just to focus on listening :headphone:. Sometimes I do it by walking :woman_walking:, sometimes with headphones :headphone:, sometimes driving :automobile:. I just use it as learning :books:, not always. And thank you for the help :folded_hands:, I’m slowly learning. :blush:

Such wonderful photos. thank you for sharing.

I also find solace in nature, it’s just that, living in Texas, being actually out in nature at this time of year is rather challenging.

I also find turning my brain off for meditation somewhat difficult. Like you, I find guided meditations much easier. My favorite channel is Great Meditation and I do a 10 minute guided meditation each morning to start my day.

Sorry to hear you are having tech troubles and being unable to reply to posts. Hopefully one of our wonderful admins will be able to offer some assistance. I’ve tagged @BryWisteria so she sees this
