Before life can become a collection of amazing, unexpected moments, you must take a risk. A risk to believe, to follow the whispers of your heart — and to look foolish.

Manifestation in Action
For the second day in a row, I really don’t feel like going to help the handyman with repairs. For the second day in a row, I gather my strength and go anyway. For the second day in a row, the handyman doesn’t show up 🤯😂

Here I am, enjoying coffee and an unexpected day off🥰

Yesterday, my own events culminated in an exciting moment. I accepted my friend’s invitation, set aside my analytical mind, and embraced the idea.

Now we're creating something new to make us all flexible and energized by spring!

Take a risk, and embrace the chance to look foolish.😱🫣

I’m talking about the risk of looking foolish. The risk of pursuing an idea without obvious logic or clear benefits. The risk of saying "yes"💥

Yet the greatest risk of all is believing in an idea—truly believing! The way we believed in adventures as children, with all our hearts-It’s going to work!

🧵Life is a web of coincidences.

1/4 So many seemingly small events intertwine into a vast network, creating something entirely new. Who hasn’t recalled a small event that became the precursor to significant change?

But such transformations are only possible if you dare to take a risk. 👀

I have the same problem. I’ve been meditating for 4+ years. I ended up quitting my 2 jobs. My insomnia disappeared, and I solved a lot of inner issues. Feeling wonderful. :)

Why did this question make you upset? Meditation was one of several tools that actually helped me get through tough times. It offers a lot of varieties and has many teachers.

Just had a meditation about shame. It's trying to protect you. Just keep going and read this: bsky.app/profile/inne...

In response, the psyche creates emotions to protect against such an undesirable scenario—in my case, shame arises. The mind then steps in with its thoughts: Who needs this? This isn’t the right place. Just keep it to yourself. Even the heart feels fear. Shame keeps me safe. Shame prevents action.

I saw that behind these feelings stands my inner child, who so deeply fears rejection. A child cannot be independent; they are always dependent on someone. This dependence is a lifeline. Rejection is unbearably painful and terrifying because it threatens to sever this vital connection.

For some time now, I’ve wanted to write about my inner journey on Facebook, but shame and fear have held me back.

In meditation, I realized that I’m ashamed to reveal myself for fear of being rejected. In that moment of realization, a gentle smile crossed my face, accompanied by inner compassion.

Shame

While meditating, I feel an active yet calm inner energy—peace and mental clarity. It’s so easy to connect with positive emotions or explore an internal question. This time, I connected with my sense of shame.

“It felt fascinating to observe and uncover the energy within my body, to feel the expansive peace that emerges once the mind quiets.” | just meditate

In meditation I was given an image of a hawk flying from a toppling tree. When an old habit/belief/relationship cannot support me, I have the power to fly from it. #witchsky #pagan #meditation #sobersky

Same here

Several years ago, I began meditating. It felt fascinating to observe and uncover the energy within my body, to feel the expansive peace that emerges once the mind quiets. I felt like a traveler entering an unseen world—a place governed by sensations, silence, darkness, and deep calm.

My most valuable realizations have come from meditative inner conversations.

I remember how excruciating it was to stop thinking. My mind darted from one thought to another, from one sensation to the next. 😱

"Yesterday, I told my wife that this is the second major breaking point in my life. The first was when I gave up my carefully cultivated social environment, where I was surrounded by admirers, followers, and like-minded people. This time, it’s harder because..."

With this type of thought, I can engage in a gentle conversation by focusing my attention on my heart. If I begin to think too intensely, I realize I’ve returned to the level of the conscious mind.

What about you?

Then, there is the second type—awareness that rises from the depths. Like a gentle light in the darkness, it flickers, delivers its message, and disappears. These insights come when the mind is at peace. They might appear as answers to questions, new and unexpected ideas, or inner revelations

I believe meditation holds at least two types of thoughts. First, there are those of the conscious mind—the restless thoughts that revisit troubling events, the ones that urge you to glance at the clock, wondering, Is it time to stop yet? These arise from the mind and daily life.

A calm that deepens as my breaths slow to just a few per minute. It seemed as though between breaths, an infinite stillness opened up—a boundless eternity of peace. The tranquil energy, like water, enveloped me, making me a part of itself, as if I had dived into its depths. Then came the next inhale

I felt like a traveler entering an unseen world—a place governed by sensations, silence, darkness, and deep calm. It was precisely the feeling of deep calm that enchanted me and kept drawing me back, time and again.
