Scents of Samhain OC Ask List.

Celebrated from October 31st to November 1st, Samhain heralds the end of the harvest season and the onset of winter, or what the Celts considered the “darker half” of the year. As one of the major Celtic fire festivals, Samhain holds a place of significant importance, marking a period when the veil between worlds is thin and spirits are more likely to make an appearance.

Patchouli: Grounding, protection, and spiritual growth.

What does your OC use to anchor themselves emotionally during times of stress, or when they are feeling afraid? Do they think of a specific person? Focus upon their religious faith? Reflect upon a firmly held belief? Or something else?

Does your OC have any particular rituals or actions they perform for good luck, perhaps before embarking upon a risky venture or new activity?

How in touch is your OC with the spiritual beliefs and traditions of their culture of origin? Have they ever moved away from these? Perhaps only to return to them later?

How protective is your OC of those about whom they care? Does this ever come across as controlling or stifling? Or do they provide a quietly reassuring presence?

Are there specific times or places where your OC feels particular in touch with things beyond the everyday - whether the divine, the occult or the world of the dead.

Cinnamon: Warmth, prosperity, and vitality.

Does your OC enjoy feeling cosy? Perhaps being snuggled in blankets or wrapped in furs? If so, then is this something that they get to enjoy very often? And is it something about which they are quite private?

Is your OC someone who tends to store resources to get through the winter (or times of hardship in general)? Or are they more inclined to assume that things will work themselves out somehow - or even rely upon the generosity of others?

Does your OC feel more energetic or motivated during warmer seasons or when in hotter climates? Conversely, do they feel inclined to "hibernate" during colder weather?

Is your OC someone who enjoys feasting and carousing? If so then are they likely to be hosting such an event? Or more likely to be attending as a guest? If they don't enjoy such things, then what is the reason for their aversion?

Is your OC generally quite healthy? Or do they often come down with colds and minor ailments? Are they perhaps even a bit of a hypochondriac?

Nutmeg: Clarity, spiritual fortitude, and insight.

Would those who know your OC describe them as being rational and clear-thinking? Or are their thoughts often muddied by conflicting emotions? Or are they easily distracted by irrelevant details?

Does your OC find it easy to explain their views and opinions? Or do they find themselves grasping for the right words? Or perhaps stumbling over how to phrase something?

Is your OC easily able to empathise with others? Can they put themselves in someone else's shoes? Or are the motives and actions of others frequently a mystery to them?

Does your OC have the courage of their convictions? Or are they often beset by self-doubt or paralysed by indecision?

Was there a specific event or conversation which opened your OC's eyes to a particular reality? Do they ever regret learning the truth and feel nostalgic for their former innocence?

Clove: Safety, cleansing, and amiability.

Is your OC someone who makes those around them feel safe? Or is there something about them which others can find rather unsettling? If so, then is this the case constantly, or only in certain circumstances?

Is your OC generally easy-going? Or are they sometimes fussy, irritable or curmudgeonly? What tends to put them into a bad mood? Are they good at concealing the fact? Do they even try?

How important is cleanliness to your OC? Are they keen to wash and bathe as often as possible? Or can they go for extended periods without being troubled by any social expectations around personal hygiene?

When away from the comfort and convenience of amenities such as baths and showers, how does your OC keep themselves clean and fresh? If they do at all?

What does safety mean to your OC? Is it emotional or financial security? Or protection from physical harm? Is safety something for which they aim - either for themselves or others?

Frankincense: Connection, introspection, and purification.

Is your OC prone to introspection? Or do they not often look within themselves? If so then is this purely by inclination, or do they fear what they might discover?

What makes your OC feel an instant sense of connection to another person? A shared sense of humour? A common cultural heritage? Enjoyment of the same activities?

Is your OC a model of purity and innocence? Or are they prone to bawdy humour, sexual innuendos and cynical retorts? Perhaps they give the appearance of purity, but underneath things are a great deal murkier?

Does your OC ever do things and then afterwards find it hard to explain why they acted the way that they did? Or are they always clear on why they spoke or behaved in a certain way, even if they choose not to admit it to others?

Is your OC someone who other people consider easy to get to know? Are they, in fact, quite wrong about this?

Myrrh: Meditation, spiritual awareness, and grief.

Does your OC believe that their ancestors or dead relatives watch over them? Does this bring them comfort? Or would they actually rather they didn't?

Is your OC able to sit in silence with their own thoughts? Are they able to clear their mind and meditate? Or would they quickly become fidgety or bored?

Is there a particular date or season when your OC is more likely to reflect upon grief and loss? If they are grieving for a specific person then do they find times such as anniversaries or namedays particularly difficult?

To what degree is your OC mindful of the religious and spiritual beliefs of others? Even if they do not share them?

Is your OC sensitive to locations where great loss or suffering took place? Do they believe they can sense the echoes of past events? Or are they oblivious? How do they respond emotionally to being in such places?

Virgo the Healer

there is this thing about virgo/6th house placements and constantly being associated with 'stiffness', 'anxious obsession', 'cleanliness' etc. especially the way others notice our attention to detail, practical ways of living, our seriousness about the order of our living and work spaces. the thing is, pisces is our opposite sign. the axis is generally coined as the axis of the 'healers'. the ones who focus on healing ailments of either the physical or metaphysical kind. other topics come up such as shamans, gurus, and spiritualists. we enjoy exploring activities such as reiki, energy cleansing, and elemental work. a very basic way of explaining pisces is their ability to feel and experience others' energy as they interact or coexist with them. depending on how they deal with it or not, they eventually learn to somehow someway filter through, or transmute the energies that are hindering or destructive to their or humanity's evolution.

with virgo, we sense and build that same gift. our bodies are sensitive to energy receptivity in a more physical, materialized way. we are an earth sign, after all; a solid, moist, and dark material. (think like a seed planted under the ground) we understand that physical objects hold onto energy as well. that if there is some vessel, there is the possibility that energy can become stagnant, trapped, or pooled in that vessel. energy that has been expressed in many forms: grief, anger, happiness/laughter, yelling, crying/holding, smashing, hugging. before virgo is older and can create their own space, you will see the virgo who lives with others create something inclusive only to themselves. like an energy circle, an area of the house, a secret section for their possessions in the house. this often happens due to families being so different individually (energetic wise.) when someone walks into their room, their house, their general vicinity, virgo still feels those energetic shifts like pisces. however, their filtration, cleaning, and cycling of those energies are more outwardly focused than with pisces. their body, their objects, their stomach. we even realize that you may not have ill intentions, but if you do enter our space to vent any frustrations, anger, gossip, or anything heavy, we will cleanse when you leave. my mother and friends often tell me how they step into my room and it feels peaceful and healing. once I show them how I accomplish this, the treatment i give my space, they see that it is possible for anyone. virgo understands that if a vessel can harbor these energies, unpleasant or not, that so, too, can their material surroundings. she also knows through pisces how energy works metaphysically or else she would not have been able to come to the conclusion that the material contains energy. as with pisces, they could not realize that energy is everywhere without studying the material world and its properties. virgo and pisces can not be one without the other.

so virgo knows that objects can hold energy. also that the ordering of the room can promote ordering of the subconscious mind. structure is something we've built in this naturally chaotic universe, and virgo understands the importance of the structure of energy itself. virgo is not only about cleansing and purifying (think of Mother Mary) the energy of a space and vessels, but virgo also shares wisdom of the structuring of energy making up the material world. its an inner wisdom that is within us from birth, just like piscean's inner knowing of unconditional love and interconnectedness.

this is a different way of understanding virgo, who is a healer too. we should find balance between recognizing the unseen connections in spirituality and the material connections. this is so that we can understand how incredibly important both kinds of healers are in the world.

Questions He Can't Answer

1880s, London

In the serene atmosphere of Arthur's private library, Matthew found solace among the rows of rare and treasured books that adorned the shelves. Bathed in the soft glow of gas lamps, he was nestled in an ornate, much too large armchair, surrounded by a collection of books that held secrets in their aged pages.

In the dimly lit library, Matt sat engrossed in the pages of a weathered medical tome. The leather-bound book lay open on his lap, its delicate pages filled with intricate illustrations and detailed descriptions of ailments and their remedies. The book itself was even older than he himself was. His fingers traced the words, absorbing the knowledge that lay within.

Around him, the shelves stood tall, bearing witness to a vast collection of books that spanned various subjects and eras. History, philosophy, poetry, and literature mingled together, creating an intellectual tapestry that mirrored the breadth of human knowledge. The scent of aged paper and worn leather filled the air, a comforting aroma that always seemed to put Matthew at ease.

As his eyes scanned the pages, his mind delved into a world of medical theories and practices. The tome spoke of ailments, treatments, and the delicate art of healing. Matthew found solace in these pages, finding comfort in the tangible knowledge they held.

Lost in thought, Matt's focus shifted momentarily from the book to the surrounding shelves. His eyes wandered over the titles, the eclectic collection reflecting Arthur's insatiable thirst for knowledge as well as his need to collect. Mostly pshysical valuables. He marveled at the diversity, the wealth of human ideas and experiences captured in the rows upon rows of books.

But amidst the philosophical musings and historical accounts, there was one section that stood out to Matthew—the shelves dedicated to art. A wide array of gathered paintings, drawings, and sketches shoved into an old leather binder adorned the shelves. Matt's gaze lingered on a particular piece of paper that had slipped out of the carefully gathered pile of papers and stuck out from the rest, if only slightly. Enough to see that the sketch was done some time ago and certainly not by Arthur himself.

It was in the realm of art Matthew used to find peace. In those days, sketching was his solace, his sanctuary where he could pour out his emotions and express the depths of his soul. As a quiet child, this was one of his favorite hobbies. It was a language he understood.

But as the years went by and his life took unexpected turns, Matthew's artistic pursuits became neglected. There was little room left for creative expression. The once vibrant palette of colors faded, replaced by the weight of duty and the burdens of history.

A sigh escaped his lips, tinged with a hint of regret. He wondered if he still possessed that same artistic spark, however limited the ability may be, to capture beauty on canvas. Doubt crept into his thoughts, whispering that perhaps he had lost that part of himself some time ago.

Shaking his head, Matthew banished those doubts and refocused his attention on the open tome before him. With renewed determination and interest, he continued reading the medical tome, absorbing the knowledge within its pages. For now, he set aside the canvas and the paintbrush.

Just as he was about to turn the page, the library door swung open, and in rushed Jack, his still-growing, energetic footsteps echoing through the room.

"Matt!"

Startled, he snapped the tome shut and looked up, his heart pounding in his chest. Jack's voice echoed through the library, calling for him with a mix of excitement and curiosity.

The abruptness of Jack's intrusion caught Matt off guard, his mind still processing the wealth of knowledge he had just absorbed.

"Hey, Matt!" Jack exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "What are you reading there? Anything interesting?"

Matthew's eyes meet Jack's. There was a brief pause as he considered his response, his words cautious and measured. "It's a book on medicine," he replied, his voice tinged with a hint of amusement. He looked at the book, turning it around in his hands and tracing along the title on the cover with his finger. "Old book. Older than you by at least by a few decades."

"Why do you speak French?" Jack blurted out, his eyes wide with anticipation. Completely ignoring the previous answer to his questions. Matthew got used to that by that point.

Matthew's lips parted, his voice quiet and measured. "I learned it... growing up."

Confusion knitted Jack's brow. "But why? We're English!"

A flicker of sadness danced in Matthew's eyes, but he masked it well. "I'm not English. Neither are you. "

"Father says we are."

"I suppose there's no debate then." Matthew had no fight left in him to continue this fruitless discourse.

"Why do you speak French?" Jack tried again. The hope that his question will be answered this time very much present in his big, green eyes.

"There are reasons... I suppose it's my mother tongue."

Jack's curiosity only grew stronger. "Then why don't you have a French accent?"

Matthew's response was curt, his tone guarded, yet slightly amused. "Accents can change... depending on where one stays for a long period of time."

Jack thought about it for longer than Matthew deemed necessary, but he didn't comment. The boy's gaze shifted to the shelves of books surrounding them. "Why does Father think Francis is a bad person?" Jack was eyeing the books, absentmindedly asking questions he didn't know the weight of.

Matthew hesitated, his eyes narrowing ever so slightly. "There are... complicated history and personal reasons I think."

A furrow formed between Jack's brows, a contast to his young face. "What do you think of Francis?"

The amusement left Matthew instantly.

Matthew's silence was deafening, his emotions tangled in a web of unspoken words. He shook his head, avoiding Jack's gaze. "I can't answer that, Jack."

The frustration tinged Jack's voice as he pressed on. "Why not? Is he really a bad person?"

Matthew's eyes darted away, his voice barely a whisper. "He... he is complicated, Jack. It's not as simple."

Jack's eagerness began to wane, replaced by a mixture of frustration and confusion. "I don't understand... Why won't you tell me?"

A wave of panic crashed over Matthew, his chest tightening with unspoken fears. He fought to maintain composure, his voice strained. "It's... it's complicated, Jack. I can't explain it all."

Jack's frustration reached a boiling point, his voice escalating into a frustrated yell. "Why won't you ever talk about yourself, Matt? You know everything about me. About Zee. But I can't know anything about you? It's not fair!"

Matthew winced at the intensity in Jack's voice, his eyes filled with a mix of sorrow and resignation. He took a step back, his hands trembling slightly. "Jack, please try to understand... It's not...I am not..."

Slight tears welled up in Jack's eyes. The same tears that had Arthur allowing his son to bring a new wild animal into the house, knowing fully well he'd have to replace the ottoman a week after due to unfortunate fabric ripping or nonwashable stains. "But why, Matt? We're supposed to be like brothers! I've trusted you with everything, and you won't give me anything in return!"

Jack's curiosity and frustration burned bright in his eyes as he leaned closer to Matthew. "Matt, what happened? Why doesn't anyone tell me anything? I'm not stupid!"

Matthew's gaze flickered, a shadow of discomfort crossing his face. He hesitated for a moment, his voice filled with evasion. "Jack, it's complicated. And of course you're not stupid! Just... There are things in our past that are not pleasant, things best left unsaid."

Jack's brows furrowed with determination as he leaned in even closer, his voice growing more insistent. " I can handle it. Tell me, what happened?" Jack insisted with a burning fervor.

A wave of overwhelm washed over Matthew, his breath catching in his throat. His gaze darted around the room, searching for an escape, but finding none.

His voice trembled slightly as he spoke, each word weighed down by the weight of his past. "Francis... is best when he's by himself, Jack."

Jack's eyes widened, a mix of shock and disbelief washing over his face. "Why? Did he really leave you like father says?"

Matthew's voice cracked with vulnerability as he continued, his gaze fixed on an unseen horizon. "Jack, it's really not important. "

Matt sat back down to regain his composure. He hoped Jack wouldn't notice his disconcertment.

Jack wouldn't have it. Matt never avoided his questions like this. It didn't seem right. He refused to let the topic rest, his voice filling with determination. "Did you do something to make him upset?"

Matthew shifted uncomfortably in his seat, his gaze shifting away from Jack's piercing eyes. He was taken aback by this question. It wasn't one he was anticipating or expecting. "I don't know." He said honestly, for the first time in this suffocating conversation.

"Trust me, it's better if we don't dwell on it." Matt tried again. He always tried with Jack.

Jack's frustration grew with each dodge, his voice growing more insistent. "No! I won't let it go!"

Matthew's breath caught in his throat, his voice strained as he tried to find the right words. "I am his son. He is my father. But...politics... They change, Jack. People tend to find what's best for them, what suits them better. Like I said, it's best to look forward in life."

Jack's voice trembled with a mix of anger and hurt. "Why won't you answer me, Matt? Don't you trust me? Am I not important enough to know?"

Matthew's eyes filled with tears, his voice barely a whisper. "Of course you're important to me, Jack. It's just... I can't open that door again." The tears didn't shed this time. Not from Matthew. He had enough of those in the past decades. If he was going to be even the slightest bit honest, he would do it in a composed state.

Undeterred, yet still aware of the shift in the room's aura, Jack's voice grew softer, tinged with vulnerability. "Do you want Francis to come back? Do you miss him?"

A heavy silence hung in the air as Matthew's eyes locked with Jack's. The weight of the question was unbearable, pushing him to his breaking point. They locked eyes for a long moment until finally, Jack opened his mouth to add something else. Abruptly, Matthew's composure shattered. Overwhelmed by a tidal wave of emotions, he felt his heart race and his breath quicken. A silent panic attack consumed him, the weight of his secrets and unanswered questions suffocating him.

Without another word, Matthew rushed out of the library, leaving Jack standing there, bewildered and filled with unanswered inquiries. The air in the room grew still, the books on the shelves standing as silent witnesses to the unspoken complexities that shaped their lives. They were taunting him as he walked out. A silent reminder of the history and recognition that he could never have.

In the wake of Matthew's departure, Jack was left with a burning curiosity, a hunger for understanding that gnawed at his core. The questions remained unanswered, the mystery surrounding Matthew and his past deepening with every passing moment.

And as the library fell into a hushed silence, it held the weight of untold stories. As if waiting along with Jack for Matthew to return. As Matthew always did.

.

Soo uhhhh

I'm sorry again, but I truly do love me some angsty Matt. He had a tough childhood and I shan't let him rest :)

Maybe a part 2 if I decide it's worth continuing. idk if people like it I will continue this angst lol

Anw, Francis ain't shit and you have my written and verbal consent to run him over in any motor vehicle model of your personal choosing.

BRIEF HISTORY

Maximiliano, Maximo, Mil, Maxim, Max – whatever you want to call him, he’s heard it and loves it. Nicknames are cute and he acknowledges them, his family always changed his name on him, you know?

He lived in Santo Domingo only until he was 10, then his family immigrated to the US, finding a home in Denver, Colorado

Colorado become his second home and he eventually went on to University of Denver and graduated with a degree in public administration.

His whole life he felt like he had to be perfect for everyone around him, he never stepped a toe out of line, had literally only had wine with dinner a handful of times, and never intentionally hurt anyone. This weighed on him the most. He saw his Chilean peers get mistreated in so many ways, he just wanted to help them and other immigrant families. He soon realized, though, that he was just a shell of a man who had no clue who he was.

Once his dad died his first year of grad school, he started to change on the inside and slowly crack. Year after year everything started piling on him, the responsibility of his own family, his relationships, and partner's families were all just too much for him. Adding a serious pregnancy scare on top of it all at age 23, was when the glass fully imploded. Within months he became broody and disconnected, until eventually he broke off a serious relationship, dropped out of school, and moved to a different part of town.

Out of school with no degree under his belt, he picked up bartending.

Those dark five years were him literally living life as a bachelor: waking up, going to work, coming home, drinking more, watching a dumb show or going out with friends, coming home, passing out, and repeating.

He did this until a few triggering events shoved him back into public and academic arenas.

At thirty he finally went back to grad school, got his Master's in Public Administration and started running for local offices.

First he started in community initiatives, volunteering his time while he attended city meetings and began networking. It only took a few years before he was appointed to city council. From there he kept working on his image, putting together again the person he was before the Big Break.

Two years ago he was finally appointed mayor -- he finally got what he was gunning for, but somehow all those feelings from his youth were rushing back and he was headed into a spiral.

This time, though, it was quiet and calculated -- he knew where he could go, he could handle a little drinking, he wasn't doing anything wrong. Just blowing a little steam in the form of reckless spending where beautiful women were involved... it was fine. Or that's what he was going to keep telling himself as he watched the women dance.

HEADCANNONS

In his younger years he frequented CLUB 303, but after hitting his thirties he lost the will to party all night long. Now, though, he can be seen slipping inside the doors of the Ambrisia Lounge after a rough day at work -- which is happening more often than not.

Hangovers are familiar to him, stale cigarettes and Dior Sauvage are his signature scents.

Divisively he is not a cat or dog person, but a fish person and has an aquarium that he takes meticulous care of.

more to come.

WORK

coming soon.

LOVE

coming soon.

The Entourage Effect

Some people just want to get drunk or get high, and they couldn't care less how they get there. Those people shouldn’t bother with this blog. This is about learning how to experience the high you want, when you want it, and how to get the most relief from your chronic ailment, so it affects your life as little as possible.

You might be a wine snob: Ahh, the complexity of wine; hundreds of taste combinations that determine the quality and craftsmanship of a given vintage. But even though you might perceive it differently, alcohol is one high, and the variations on that one high are more due to the psychological impacts from your environment than from the drug itself.

Then there's weed. It has millions of possible individual flavors and effects, and the way it's grown drastically affects not just the flavor and smell of the variety, but the high, and its value as a medicine as well. It is natural, and even two buds on the same branch can produce noticeably different highs.

To further complicate things, the effect of the strain on any given individual, or even on any given day, create effects that differ significantly from person to person, and from day to day.

But the most dominant characteristics of a strain will affect most people the same way, so we use sloppy classifications like indica, hybrid, and sativa to provide a basic guide to consumers. Add to this sensory complexity the fact that odorless, flavorless cannabinoids like CBN, and THCV contribute—sometimes massively—to the effects, as do terpenes. Flavonoids? Who knows? You can begin to understand how truly complex cannabis is.

In reality, what most people find to be a heavy indica, may send YOU into semi-upbeat cruise mode doing chores, as if the strain were mildly sativa, with no drowsiness at all. Depending on the state of your endocannabinoid system, a particular sativa might even induce a nap.

Mastering The Entourage Effect to suit your personal biology is the key to tailoring your high to suit your own moods and desires, or to getting just the right combination to stop the agonizing pain from your sciatica. I've dramatically improved my ability to treat my debilitating neck joint and disc issues, which are caused by inflammation caused by my injuries, but I've had zero luck in three years of trying to control my sciatica, which is neuropathic (nerve pain,) because I don't know enough about what mechanism in it I need to address, and I'm too old for med school. I will keep trying though, and maybe someone else will find an entourage effect that works for me too.

For my neck pain, I use strains rich in the terpene, caryophyllene (the smell in pepper, and the main reason oil of cloves stops a toothache) humulene (similar in effect to caryophyllene.) In the evenings, I sometimes add linalool, the main scent and taste of lavender and other purple flowers, including purple cannabis, and higher myrcene (evening,) which is the most common and a mostly-sedative terpene; or high limonene (daytime,) for a more energetic high. I also take a puff off a CBD vape pen. That’s my main entourage for MY neck pain; yours might be helped substantially, or not at all. It might be myrcene or limonene that rocks your world.

In my case, a strain that relies wholly on myrcene as an anti inflammatory just makes my neck feel worse, but myrcene is my friend (when I combine it with my go-to elements) to get a good night’s sleep.

Here are some basics. First of all, if all other factors are removed, cannabis with high myrcene levels and low limonene levels are more likely to relax, and when levels are reversed, you’re more likely to become energetic. Myrcene’s effects are intensified by the presence of the cannabinoid, CBN. CBN is what THC turns into when it gets old and oxidizes, but it can be in therapeutic levels in ‘fresh’ weed too. When those two get together, you might experience “Couch-Lock” ...or it might eliminate anxiety from a really bad day, or it might put you right to sleep-after a few potato chips. If limonene is combined with the terpene, alpha pinene, and the cannabinoid, THCV, you’re sweeping the floor, organizing drawers, having energized conversations…and your appetite is literally non-existent.

The entourage effect is complicated.

To simplify your life, start with the basics of UP and DOWN: do I want to relax, or do I want to whoop it up?

For most people, heavy myrcene combined with linalool, caryophyllene, and/or CBN will relax you, perhaps into oblivion. Limonene, with pinene and/or humulene and/or caryophyllene, can make you quite zippy, and adding linalool replaces the anxiety some may get from it with a sense of wellbeing.

The only way to start is to buy a couple of grams and try them out. Get the dispensary’s speediest sativa and their most sleepy indica. You’ll have a starting point. Try the sativa 6-8 hours before bedtime, and try the indica an hour or two before bed. If you dislike the effect of either, put it away for a week or so; if after a week it still has unwanted effects, toss it.

If you can, write down what you smell, taste, and feel in detail, trying to always use the same terms for an effect, positive or negative, and you’re on your way! The more strains you have, the more specific high you can get. Although every strain you buy will cost $6 to $15 most places, they are going to last forever because you're microdosing!

As always, only take one hit, and wait for 30 minutes before adding to the dose. Once you know what effects you can expect from a strain, and you want to get “high AF”, you can start with 2-3, but NO MORE, unless you’re going to bed soon. Bedtime is the only time you can overdose, but I highly recommend that you add CBD, to regulate the absorption of THC during sleep. After 8 hours of sleep, your ECS has reset enough to “wake and bake,” but you should never follow a heavy high night with a heavy high morning: try just taking one hit.

Once you know you like a strain, try drinking herbal tea 30-45 minutes before you dose. With energetic strains, try a tea similar (using Bigelow’s brands) to Lemon Zinger, or Orange & Spices, and for relaxants, try Sleep (chamomile, and lavender) tea. These make more of the terpenes you crave available, to enhance your experience.

Hopeful Friday

Does your OC enjoy feeling cosy? Perhaps being snuggled in blankets or wrapped in furs? If so, then is this something that they get to enjoy very often? And is it something about which they are quite private?

Hopeful is not a fan of it; she hates feeling confined by anything. She'll tolerate it for Moen and/or Urianger, but she ahs fur and she has muscle, she does not need to be made a large purrito.

Is your OC someone who tends to store resources to get through the winter (or times of hardship in general)? Or are they more inclined to assume that things will work themselves out somehow - or even rely upon the generosity of others?

She never really had to think about it; that was her father's worry, not hers. So probably relying on the generosity of others more than anything else.

Does your OC feel more energetic or motivated during warmer seasons or when in hotter climates? Conversely, do they feel inclined to "hibernate" during colder weather?

The amount of time and effort it takes to get Hopeful to come in when she's playing in snow is not a venture lightly undertaken. Usually, she must be very carefully lured.

Hot weather, you're lucky if you can get her to go outside. She will wear as little as possible, and find the nearest body of water to plunge into to avoid overheating.

Is your OC someone who enjoys feasting and carousing? If so then are they likely to be hosting such an event? Or more likely to be attending as a guest? If they don't enjoy such things, then what is the reason for their aversion?

She actually doesn't like it! She usually finds those types of gatherings stuffy and boring, and she very much has better ways to spend her time. If Urianger or Moen want to attend she might go with them, but she will leave as soon as she can.

Is your OC generally quite healthy? Or do they often come down with colds and minor ailments? Are they perhaps even a bit of a hypochondriac?

Poor Montechaigne sometimes wishes she got sick more, because that's about the only time she stops moving. But Hope is exceptionally healthy, much to her adoptive father's resignation.

The relationship between sleep disorders and spiritual knowledge of the key to awakening

Spiritual Methods to Purify Past Suffering and Open Up the Future

Our physical body is a vessel for the soul, and its state of health is not merely a biological issue. In fact, it holds deep significance from a spiritual perspective as well. Problems like sleep disorders, addiction, and physical ailments are often linked not just to physical factors but also to energy blockages and soul challenges. In this article, we will explore how to re-examine health from a spiritual viewpoint and align the mind and body with the evolution of the soul.

The Essence of Health from a Spiritual Perspective

The Relationship Between Body and Soul

Health is not merely the absence of disease. From a spiritual viewpoint, true health is defined by the balance of mind, body, and soul. Our physical body serves as a vessel for the soul to deepen its learning in this world. Thus, when the energy of the soul is disrupted, physical ailments often manifest.

Long-held emotional repression and stress affect our energy field, eventually leading to physical symptoms. Chronic fatigue, headaches, stomach issues, and decreased immunity are typical examples.

Energy Blockages That Deteriorate Health

To maintain health, it is essential to focus not only on the physical body but also on the flow of energy. Our bodies contain energy centers known as "chakras," and blockages in these can lead to both physical and mental ailments.

When the throat chakra is blocked, self-expression becomes difficult, resulting in accumulated stress. Feelings suppressed deep within or words left unspoken may manifest as throat pain or difficulty breathing.

Balancing the flow of energy is crucial not only for physical well-being but also for the growth of the soul.

Spiritual Causes of Sleep Disorders

Messages from the Soul Hidden in Sleepless Nights

Sleep is not just a physical rest; it is an important time for the soul to adjust its energy. However, when sleepless nights persist, it may be a sign that the soul is trying to communicate something.

If past events or unresolved emotions continue to smolder in the subconscious, falling asleep can become challenging. Particularly, trauma or emotional wounds can resurface unconsciously at night, causing insomnia.

Moreover, during periods of significant energy shifts, sleep may become lighter as the soul attempts to receive messages from the universe. This could be a sign that the soul is ready to progress to a new stage.

Effects Caused by Disrupted Energy

One of the causes of sleep disorders is a disruption in the energy field. In particular, if negative energy accumulates, the process of trying to cleanse it through sleep may lead to lighter sleep.

Additionally, daily stress and anxiety can affect the aura, reducing the quality of sleep. From a spiritual perspective, sleep is not merely rest but a time to align the soul's energy. Therefore, incorporating habits such as meditation before bed and cultivating gratitude is essential.

Past Suffering and Spiritual Purification

The Impact of Trauma on Energy

Past painful experiences and trauma have a profound impact on our energy field. Those who have experienced issues like alcohol dependency or sleep disorders often find that these memories remain energetically charged.

If trauma remains unresolved, similar issues may repeatedly arise. This occurs because the soul has not yet learned the lessons it needs to from those experiences.

Methods to Heal the Past and Open Up the Future

To purify past energy, it is crucial first to accept and release one's experiences. Holding onto resentment or self-blame continues to affect present life with that energy.

A recommended approach is to confront oneself through meditation and healing practices. By cultivating gratitude, the flow of energy changes. When past suffering is viewed as a "lesson," it leads to the growth of your soul.

The Spiritual Significance of Living Mindfully

Living in the "Now" Illuminates the Soul

In our busy lives, we often neglect "this very moment." However, from a spiritual perspective, focusing on the "now" is one of the most important aspects of soul growth.

When eating, instead of simply putting food in your mouth, savor the taste and texture. When walking, pay attention to the sensation of your feet touching the ground. Such "mindful living" elevates our vibration and purifies the soul.

Moreover, becoming too preoccupied with the future or past can lead to being governed by energies of anxiety or regret, disrupting our vibration. However, by concentrating on the "now," the soul's energy becomes clearer, making it easier to connect with higher dimensions.

Changes in Vibration Brought About by Gratitude and Awareness

The energy of "gratitude" has the power to significantly alter our vibration. For example, when experiencing illness or physical discomfort, reframing it as "a reminder of the importance of health" transforms the meaning of that experience.

Additionally, directing gratitude towards everyday occurrences accumulates positive energy within us. For instance, simply appreciating "being able to eat today," "the warmth of sunlight," or "someone being kind to me" can elevate our vibration.

As our vibration rises, the law of attraction comes into play, enabling us to create a better future. This is not merely a spiritual concept; scientific evidence supports that "positive thinking can change reality."

Aligning your energy and living mindfully are the keys to illuminating your soul and enriching your life.

Conclusion

When considering health from a spiritual perspective, it is vital to focus on the flow of energy and the growth of the soul, not just the physical body.

Health refers to a state of balance between the soul and body.

Sleep disorders and physical ailments often serve as messages from the soul.

Past suffering and trauma are lessons for soul growth, requiring purification.

Focusing on the "now" and cultivating gratitude raises our vibration and improves our lives.

We are all living for the growth of our souls. Every experience and emotion is part of our learning journey. By valuing health and consciously living mindfully, we can lead a richer life.

Starting today, let’s gradually become aware of "spiritual health" so that your soul can shine and you can walk the path of your best life.

For those seeking liberation from negative energies, paranormal disturbances, or spiritual unrest, finding a qualified Exorcist in New York offers a path to renewal and peace.

Understanding Exorcism

Exorcism, rooted in ancient traditions, is the act of expelling malevolent spirits or energies from a person, place, or object.

The Process of Exorcism

A professional exorcism session typically begins with an in-depth consultation. This step allows the exorcist to understand the individual's spiritual and emotional state, as well as the specifics of the disturbance.

Next, the exorcist may perform an assessment using religious tools, prayers, or energy readings to identify the source of the issue. The exorcism itself may involve rituals like:

Prayers or invocations to cleanse the space or individual.

The use of sacred objects such as holy water, incense, or amulets.

Guided meditation or energy work to restore balance.

Post-session, many exorcists provide advice on maintaining spiritual protection and harmony to prevent recurrence.

Exorcism has become a sought-after service not only for resolving supernatural disturbances but also for addressing deeper emotional and psychological issues.

Moreover, media portrayals of exorcism have sparked curiosity and awareness. Films, documentaries, and books have demystified the practice, encouraging people to explore it as a viable solution for spiritual discomfort.

Choosing the Right Exorcist

When seeking an Exorcist in New York, it is essential to prioritize professionalism and authenticity. Look for practitioners with:

Transformative Power of Energy Healing: Your Guide to Finding the Best Energy Healer in India

An Energy Healer is a trained practitioner who works with the energy field of the body to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. By tapping into and balancing the body’s natural energy systems, energy healers help remove blockages, restore flow, and re-align the energies to encourage healing and vitality.

Energy healing is based on the belief that the body has an innate ability to heal itself, and the energy healer facilitates this process by channeling healing energy, often using techniques such as Reiki, Pranic Healing, chakra balancing, or sound healing. These practices aim to reduce stress, alleviate pain, support emotional healing, and increase the overall energy levels of an individual.

Energy healers are highly attuned to subtle energy vibrations and can sense imbalances within a person’s aura, energy field, or chakras. Through their healing work, they help clients regain emotional clarity, physical comfort, and spiritual alignment. Energy healing is a holistic approach that focuses on the mind-body connection and can provide a deep sense of relaxation, peace, and rejuvenation.

Energy healing is an ancient practice based on the understanding that all living beings have a life force or energy field. This energy, sometimes referred to as “prana” in Ayurveda, “chi” in Chinese medicine, or “ki” in Reiki, flows through our bodies and influences our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. When this energy is blocked, unbalanced, or depleted, it can lead to physical ailments, emotional distress, and spiritual disconnection.

Energy healing involves the manipulation and balancing of this life force energy to restore harmony and promote healing. Practitioners of energy healing use various techniques to clear blockages, balance energy, and support the body’s natural healing process. These techniques can include Reiki, acupuncture, chakra balancing, sound healing, and crystal healing, among others.

Types of Energy Healing Practices in India

India, with its deep spiritual roots, is home to numerous energy healing practices that have been passed down through generations. Here are some of the most popular types of energy healing used by practitioners across the country:

1. Reiki Healing

Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that has gained immense popularity worldwide, including in India. It involves the transfer of universal life energy from the healer to the client through their hands. Reiki practitioners channel this energy to restore balance in the body, mind, and spirit. It is particularly effective in reducing stress, alleviating pain, and enhancing emotional well-being.

2. Pranic Healing

Pranic Healing is based on the concept that the body has the ability to heal itself, but it may need assistance in clearing energetic blockages. The healer works by scanning the body’s energy field, identifying areas of imbalance, and using techniques like sweeping or energizing to remove blockages and restore energy flow.

3. Chakra Healing

The chakra system is an integral part of many spiritual and healing practices in India. Chakras are energy centers in the body that govern various physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of our well-being. Energy healers use chakra healing techniques to balance and align these energy centers, promoting physical health, emotional stability, and spiritual growth.

4. Sound Healing

Sound healing uses vibrations from various sound frequencies, such as those created by Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, or tuning forks, to restore balance in the body’s energy field. The vibrations emitted by sound waves help to release blockages and stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities.

5. Crystal Healing

Crystal healing is based on the belief that crystals have unique energetic properties that can influence the body’s energy field. Crystals like amethyst, rose quartz, and citrine are used by energy healers to balance energy, relieve stress, and promote emotional healing.

Benefits of Energy Healing

Energy healing offers numerous benefits, both on a physical and emotional level. Here are some of the key advantages:

1. Stress Relief and Relaxation

One of the most immediate benefits of energy healing is stress relief. Techniques like Reiki, Pranic Healing, and sound therapy promote deep relaxation by calming the mind and soothing the nervous system. As a result, many individuals experience a reduction in anxiety, stress, and tension.

2. Physical Healing and Pain Management

Energy healing can help alleviate physical ailments by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. Whether it’s chronic pain, digestive issues, or headaches, energy healing techniques can address the root causes of these conditions and support the body in its recovery.

3. Emotional Healing

Emotional healing is one of the core benefits of energy healing. By balancing energy and clearing emotional blockages, energy healers help individuals overcome past traumas, heal emotional wounds, and release negative thought patterns. This promotes emotional well-being, resilience, and a deeper sense of self-awareness.

4. Spiritual Growth and Clarity

Energy healing is also an excellent tool for spiritual growth. Many individuals who seek energy healing in India find that it helps them connect with their higher selves, gain clarity on their life purpose, and achieve a greater sense of peace and alignment.

5. Enhanced Energy and Vitality

When the energy within the body flows freely and harmoniously, individuals often experience a boost in vitality, creativity, and enthusiasm. Energy healing can rejuvenate your body’s energy field, leaving you feeling revitalized and more focused on your personal and professional goals.

Choose an Energy Healer in India

India has long been known as a hub for spiritual and holistic healing. The country’s rich cultural heritage in Ayurveda, yoga, and meditation provides a strong foundation for energy healing practices. Here’s why you should consider seeking an energy healer in India:

1. Deep Spiritual Wisdom

India is the birthplace of many spiritual practices, such as yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda. Energy healers in India often have years of training and experience in these ancient healing systems. They bring a deep understanding of the connection between mind, body, and spirit, allowing them to provide holistic healing services that address all aspects of well-being.

2. Affordable Healing Services

Compared to many Western countries, energy healing services in India are relatively affordable, making them accessible to a wider range of people.

3. Personalized Approach

Energy healers in India understand that every individual is unique. They take the time to assess your specific needs, identify the root causes of imbalances, and create a tailored healing plan that works for you. This personalized approach ensures that your healing journey is as effective and transformative as possible.

4. Integration of Ancient Wisdom and Modern Techniques

While traditional energy healing practices form the backbone of energy healing in India, many modern energy healers incorporate new techniques and technologies into their practice. This blending of ancient wisdom and modern approaches offers a comprehensive healing experience.

How to Find the Right Energy Healer in India

Finding the right energy healer is crucial for your healing journey. Here are a few tips to help you choose the right practitioner:

Start by researching different energy healers in India. Look for those who have positive reviews and testimonials. Word-of-mouth recommendations from friends or family can also be helpful.

2. Qualifications and Experience

Ensure that the energy healer has the necessary qualifications and experience in their specific healing modality. Many energy healers undergo extensive training and certification to ensure they are skilled in their craft.

3. Compatibility

It’s important to feel comfortable with your healer. A good energy healer should make you feel safe, supported, and understood throughout your healing process.

Tui-Na Massage in Oakland: A Natural Alternative for Pain Management

For many residents of Oakland, managing pain through natural means has become increasingly popular. Among the numerous holistic therapies available, Tui-Na massage—a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)—stands out as a powerful and natural option for those seeking relief without the use of drugs or invasive treatments. Let's dive into what makes Tui-Na massage a go-to solution for pain management and how it can benefit those looking for sustainable, holistic wellness in Oakland.

What is Tui-Na Massage?

Tui-Na (pronounced "twee-nah") translates to "push and grasp" in Chinese, a reflection of the techniques used in this ancient therapeutic massage. Dating back over 2,000 years, Tui-Na is rooted in the principles of TCM, which aims to balance the body's energy or "qi." Tui-Na involves specific massage techniques—such as kneading, rolling, pressing, and stretching—to target acupressure points and meridian pathways, encouraging energy flow and supporting the body’s natural healing abilities. Unlike Swedish or deep tissue massage, Tui-Na often focuses not only on muscles but also on joints, tendons, and energy channels, aiming for a more comprehensive approach to pain relief.

The Pain-Relieving Power of Tui-Na

Pain, whether from an injury, chronic condition, or stress-related tension, is a common issue that Tui-Na addresses effectively. By stimulating certain points on the body, Tui-Na helps to release blockages in the energy flow, which is often linked to pain and discomfort in TCM. The massage techniques employed are designed to increase circulation, reduce inflammation, and ease muscle tension—all of which can contribute to pain relief.

Oakland residents suffering from chronic pain conditions like arthritis, lower back pain, or neck stiffness may find relief through Tui-Na, as it can reduce reliance on pain medications. Additionally, it’s a natural option for managing stress-related ailments such as headaches and sleep disturbances, which are often intensified by physical discomfort.

Tui-Na for Oakland’s Active and Busy Lifestyle

Oakland’s vibrant, active community—which includes everyone from athletes to busy professionals—can particularly benefit from Tui-Na’s therapeutic effects. Athletes who experience muscle fatigue or soreness can use Tui-Na to support muscle recovery and flexibility, while those with desk jobs may find it helpful for relieving the tension that accumulates from prolonged sitting or poor posture. The hands-on, targeted nature of Tui-Na also means that each session is personalized to address specific pain points or tension areas, making it a versatile therapy for Oaklanders with diverse lifestyles.

The Holistic Difference: Mind and Body Connection

One of the unique advantages of Tui-Na is its dual focus on the physical and energetic body. By tapping into the meridian system, Tui-Na practitioners aim to bring balance not only to physical structures but also to emotional well-being. For those experiencing stress or anxiety, Tui-Na’s holistic approach can support a calmer mind, as balanced qi often translates to a more relaxed mental state.

In Oakland, where mental and physical wellness are both highly valued, Tui-Na can offer a powerful avenue for holistic healing, providing benefits that extend beyond mere pain relief.

What to Expect in a Tui-Na Session

For those new to Tui-Na, a session may feel slightly different than other types of massage. Expect a combination of techniques—some gentle and soothing, others more vigorous and direct. A trained Tui-Na practitioner will assess your pain points, discuss your health history, and work on areas of the body that may be affecting your overall well-being. Many sessions include a combination of Tui-Na with other complementary modalities, such as cupping or gua sha, to enhance the treatment’s effectiveness.

Finding Tui-Na Massage in Oakland

Oakland is home to a growing number of practitioners who specialize in Tui-Na and other forms of TCM. When selecting a practitioner, consider those with training specifically in TCM and Tui-Na, as they will have a deeper understanding of the meridian system and acupressure points crucial for effective pain management.

Is Tui-Na Right for You?

If you’re looking for a natural, holistic approach to managing pain and enhancing your overall wellness, Tui-Na could be an ideal option. It provides relief without the side effects of medication and addresses not only physical pain but also emotional and energetic imbalances. In Oakland, where a thriving wellness culture meets a diverse community, Tui-Na stands out as a valuable and accessible choice for those seeking to alleviate pain and improve their quality of life naturally.

Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or simply seeking a therapeutic way to maintain your health, Tui-Na offers an effective, time-honored method for achieving balance and well-being in Oakland’s bustling urban environment.

Finding the Right Chiropractor in Woodbridge Made Easy

Navigating the world of chiropractic care can be overwhelming, especially when you're seeking the best care for specific ailments. But don't worry; we're here to help you choose the right chiropractor in Woodbridge. In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know, from understanding chiropractic care to making an informed decision that suits your needs.

By the end of this blog post, you'll be equipped with practical tips and valuable insights to make the best choice for your health. Whether you're dealing with persistent back pain, recovering from an injury, or simply looking to improve your overall well-being, finding the right chiropractor is crucial.

What is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal issues, particularly those involving the spine. Unlike conventional medicine, which often relies heavily on medication and surgery, chiropractic care emphasizes natural healing methods.

Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation and other alternative treatments to promote proper alignment of the body's musculoskeletal structure. This alignment enables the body to heal itself without the need for surgery or medication. Chiropractic care can also restore mobility to joints restricted by tissue injuries.

People often seek chiropractic care for pain relief, particularly in the back, neck, and joints. Conditions like headaches, sports injuries, and even certain types of chronic pain can benefit from chiropractic adjustments. Understanding what chiropractic care entails can help you decide if it’s the right option for you.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care offers a range of benefits, making it a popular choice for many people seeking alternative treatments for their ailments. One of the most significant advantages is pain relief. Chiropractors can alleviate discomfort caused by various conditions, including back pain, neck pain, and joint issues.

Another benefit is improved mobility. Spinal adjustments and other chiropractic techniques can enhance your range of motion, making everyday activities easier and more enjoyable. This can be particularly beneficial for athletes or individuals recovering from injuries.

Chiropractic care also promotes overall wellness. Regular adjustments can help maintain your body's balance and alignment, reducing the risk of future problems. Many people find that chiropractic care improves their quality of life, helping them feel more energetic and less stressed.

When to See a Chiropractor

Deciding when to see a chiropractor can be challenging, especially if you're unfamiliar with chiropractic care. It's essential to consult a chiropractor if you're experiencing persistent pain, particularly in your back, neck, or joints. Chronic pain that doesn't respond to conventional treatments may benefit from chiropractic adjustments.

In addition to pain management, consider seeing a chiropractor if you're dealing with mobility issues. Whether it's due to an injury or a chronic condition, chiropractic care can help restore your range of motion and improve your overall function.

Preventive care is another reason to visit a chiropractor. Regular adjustments can help maintain your body's alignment, reducing the risk of future problems. If you're looking to improve your overall wellness and reduce stress, chiropractic care may be a suitable option.

Researching Chiropractors in Woodbridge

Finding the right Woodbridge chiropractor begins with thorough research. Start by asking for recommendations from friends, family, or healthcare professionals. Personal referrals can provide valuable insights into a chiropractor's skills and patient care.

Online reviews are another useful resource. Websites like Yelp and Google Reviews offer feedback from previous patients, giving you an idea of what to expect. Pay attention to comments about the chiropractor's expertise, communication skills, and overall patient experience.

Don't forget to check the chiropractor's credentials. Ensure they have the necessary training and certifications to provide safe and effective care. Researching chiropractors in Woodbridge thoroughly can help you narrow down your options and find the best fit for your needs.

Evaluating Chiropractor Credentials

A chiropractor's credentials are crucial in determining their qualifications and expertise. Start by ensuring they have a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree from an accredited chiropractic college. This degree typically requires four years of undergraduate education followed by four years of chiropractic school.

Licensure is another essential factor. Chiropractors must be licensed to practice in their state. Check if your chosen chiropractor has an active license and if any disciplinary actions or malpractice claims have been filed against them.

Continuing education is also important. Chiropractors should stay updated on the latest advancements in their field through ongoing education and training. Evaluating a chiropractor's credentials can give you confidence in their ability to provide safe and effective care.

Understanding the Chiropractor's Approach

Different chiropractors may use various techniques and approaches to treat their patients. It's essential to understand your chiropractor's methods and how they align with your needs and preferences.

Scheduling a Consultation

Scheduling a consultation is an excellent way to get to know a chiropractor before committing to their care. During the consultation, discuss your health concerns, medical history, and treatment goals. This conversation will help the chiropractor develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Pay attention to how the chiropractor communicates and whether they take the time to listen to your concerns. A good chiropractor should make you feel heard and valued as a patient. They should also explain their treatment approach and what you can expect during your sessions.

A consultation can provide valuable insights into the chiropractor's practice and whether they're the right fit for you. Don't hesitate to schedule consultations with multiple chiropractors to find the best match.

Assessing Chiropractic Techniques

Chiropractic care encompasses various techniques, each designed to address specific issues. Spinal manipulation, also known as chiropractic adjustment, is one of the most common methods. This technique involves using controlled force to restore joint mobility and alleviate pain.

Soft tissue therapy is another popular technique. It focuses on treating muscles, ligaments, and tendons to reduce pain and improve function. Techniques like myofascial release and trigger point therapy fall under this category.

Rehabilitation exercises are often part of a chiropractor's treatment plan. These exercises help strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and prevent future injuries. Discuss the techniques your chiropractor uses and how they can benefit your specific condition.

Considering Chiropractic Specializations

Some chiropractors specialize in specific areas, such as sports injuries, pediatric care, or prenatal care. These specializations can be beneficial if you have unique needs or require specialized treatment. For example, a chiropractor specializing in sports injuries may have additional training and experience in treating athletes.

Pediatric chiropractors focus on providing safe and effective care for children, while prenatal chiropractors help expectant mothers manage pain and maintain overall wellness during pregnancy.
