#Mindfulness Meditation At Work

[astra-ravana]

Navigating Your Own Astral Mindscape

Your astral mindscape is the personal, internal realm of your consciousness—a vast, shifting landscape where your subconscious mind, spiritual essence, and energetic body converge. It is both a sanctuary and a place for exploration, healing, and self-discovery. Learning to navigate this space can deepen your understanding of yourself, enhance psychic abilities, and strengthen your connection to astral realms.

Understanding the Astral Mindscape

Your mindscape is a mental-astral projection of your consciousness, shaped by thoughts, emotions, memories, and subconscious symbols. It can appear as:

• A dreamlike world with familiar and unfamiliar locations.

• A personal temple or sanctuary where your energy resides.

• A labyrinth of shifting symbols, reflecting deep psychological and spiritual truths.

• A gateway to deeper astral realms, spirit communication, or past-life exploration.

Unlike traditional astral projection, which involves traveling to external astral planes, mindscape navigation is an internal journey where you explore and shape your own inner reality.

Preparing for Astral Mindscape Exploration

Before diving in, set up a safe, focused space for practice:

1. Grounding & Centering

• Breathwork: Slow, deep breathing to calm the mind.

• Energy Anchoring: Visualize roots growing from your feet, grounding you into the Earth.

• Mantras: Use affirmations such as “I am safe. I am in control. I navigate with clarity.”

2. Creating a Protective Shield

• Imagine a sphere of white or golden light around you.

• Call upon a spirit guide, deity, or guardian for protection.

• Carry a protective talisman (such as a black tourmaline, pentagram, or protective sigil).

3. Setting an Intention

Before entering your mindscape, decide your goal:

• Healing past wounds

• Finding guidance from spirit allies

• Strengthening psychic abilities

• Exploring past-life memories

• Building a personal astral sanctuary

Entering Your Astral Mindscape

Method 1: Meditation Gateway (Ideal for beginners)

• Close your eyes and relax deeply.

• Imagine a doorway, portal, or staircase in your mind.

• Step through it, entering your personal mental-astral realm.

• Observe what appears—do not force anything.

• Move through your environment, noting landscapes, symbols, or beings you encounter.

• When ready, return through the portal, grounding yourself back in your body.

Method 2: Lucid Dreaming Entry (Best for deep subconscious access)

• Before sleep, affirm: “Tonight, I will enter my mindscape with awareness.”

• Keep a dream journal to track recurring locations, symbols, or themes.

• Use lucidity triggers, such as hand-checking or reality affirmations, to recognize when you are dreaming.

• Once lucid, shift focus inward, asking: “Where is my mindscape?”

• Explore with intention, gathering insights from your subconscious.

Method 3: Guided Visualization (For structured exploration)

• Imagine yourself in a void—a vast space of limitless potential.

• Picture the environment shaping itself around you- A temple, a forest, a castle, an endless ocean—whatever resonates.

• If uncertain, ask: “What does my mind look like?” and let the scene emerge.

• Walk through this space, interacting with objects, doors, or entities.

• Take mental notes of anything significant—everything has meaning.

Mapping & Interacting with Your Mindscape

Once inside, you’ll find key locations that serve as powerful points of transformation.

Common Mindscape Structures & Their Meanings:

• The Sanctuary: A safe space, often appearing as a temple, garden, or home.

• The Mirror Room: A place where you face your true self, hidden aspects, or past identities.

• The Library or Archive: Holds records of your soul’s knowledge, memories, and past lives.

• The Abyss: A void where suppressed fears, trauma, or deep truths reside.

• The Gateway: A portal to external astral planes or deeper subconscious layers.

• A Garden: Growth, creativity, and healing energy.

• A Castle or Fortress: Strong walls and locked doors. Your defenses, inner strength, and self-protection.

• A Dark Cave or Locked Door: Hidden trauma, fears, repressed memories, secrets, or untapped potential.

Interacting with Your Mindscape:

• Speak to Entities: Some beings may represent aspects of yourself, spirit guides, or guardians.

• Alter the Landscape: You have control—if something feels unsafe, change it.

• Write Everything Down: Keeping a Mindscape Journal helps track patterns and growth.

Advanced Techniques for Deeper Exploration

1. Shadow Work in the Mindscape

• Visit dark or hidden areas, recognizing suppressed aspects of yourself.

• Ask entities: “What do you represent?”

• Face fears safely by observing rather than reacting.

• Bring light into darkness, healing wounds by offering love and acceptance.

2. Strengthening Astral Constructs

• Create permanent structures, like a protection temple or energy wellspring.

• Reinforce portals for astral travel beyond your mindscape.

• Program guardian spirits or sigils into your space for continued protection.

3. Inviting Spirit Guides & Higher Knowledge

• Call upon deities, ancestors, or totem animals.

• Ask direct questions: “What must I learn?” and listen for responses.

• Receive symbolic messages, later analyzing their deeper meanings.

4. Astral Projection & Mindscape Expansion

• Find a high place (a tower, mountaintop, or floating island).

• Set the intent to project beyond yourself.

• Visualize leaving your mindscape while maintaining awareness.

5. Strengthening Protection

• A protective wall or boundary around key areas.

• A guardian spirit or familiar stationed at the entrance.

• A shield of light around yourself when exploring.

Safely Exiting the Mindscape

It’s crucial to leave your mindscape properly to avoid lingering in an altered state.

Closing the Session:

• Visualize returning to a door, portal, or staircase leading back to waking consciousness.

• Affirm: “I return to my body, fully present and grounded.”

• Take deep breaths and wiggle fingers/toes.

• Drink water and write down insights immediately.

Exploring your astral mindscape is a lifelong practice that deepens with time. As you return, you may find it changing—reflecting your personal growth and challenges. Trust your intuition, move at your own pace, and always practice with intent.

Every time you take some conscious breaths, remind yourself how good it is for you. As you slowly breathe in through your nose: you nourish your body, you calm your nervous system and you let yourself know, you are safe. When you breathe out through your mouth, you release tension, stress, energy that isn’t yours. You’re not just breathing. You’re cleansing, recentering, rebalancing.

my psychiatrist, my old therapist, other mental health professionals ive interacted with in seminars and whatnot: you should definitely try meditation to manage your bipolar mood swings, maybe even journalling so you can process the moods that happen to you

me who gets UNBEARABLY FUCKING BORED meditating or journalling: im just gonna play the nyan cat song for 3 hours straight to trick my brain into thinking it's no longer appropriate to be having mood swings bc who tf has mood swings while nyan cat is playing

[hotchipsauce]

psst pspspsps u should totally talk about grebbymints more ... i am enabling u......

AAAAAA bro….. my dude…. the thing is i always feel crazy talking about them together bc i think like they’ve only publicly interacted like 3 times? LOL (i have watched and documented every interview minty and grebby has appeared in for the leafs/marlies. it’s so bad. me being sick has actually helped me not be as weird about it since i had less screen time in general)

but even then me and @tufzy just constructed this whole separate reality in our heads for months about how like they prob got closer after getting called up and minty is the only familiar guy for grebby there due to being on the marlies together + no russian player on the leafs to fall back on for help so grebby is just sticking to minty’s side the whole time, and minty even tho he’s a lil popular with the leaf boys he still is looking out for his linemate. even when they get sent down they’re still drawn to each other out of habit. but i’m always like second guessing like wow this is pure delusion like maybe they don’t even fuck with each other like that it’s just coworker friendliness this rpf shit is truly a disease fr fr 🙏

and then the videos started dropping. they’re goofing off and pushing each other around during sewer ball. and then i see a single frame of minty next to grebs during the one rare tiktok that he shows up in. and the delusion starts anew

So, Glamour Magic.

In my research, this is what I’ve concluded on the topic of Glamours. There is plenty of debate as to what a Glamour actually is, whether there are different types, whether they’re toxic and manipulative. This is merely my views on the subject and as always I encourage you to cross reference.

So what is a Glamour spell? Glamour spells are a form of craft which change how yourself and other people perceive you. They do not actually change your appearance beyond the mundane aspects of the spell. For example a commonly used Glamour tends to be an intentional positive affirmation. It is an affirmation that is charged with the energy and intention of changing your level of attraction.

A Glamour that would actually change your physical appearance via the mundane steps of the spell would be wearing nail polish with the color corresponding to how you want to be viewed by others. Yellow would represent joy whilst red would correspond to sensuality and passion.

━─━────༺༻────━─━

Here are a few Glamour spells you may be able to cast right now!

-

>Enchanting Jewelry

Step one: Cleanse. There are many ways you can cleanse your jewelry via covering it in salt for a few hours, smoke cleansing, water cleansing or all of the above. Get those negative energies as far from your piece of jewelry as possible (note: Make sure your jewelry won't rust whilst cleansing if you choose to use methods other than smoke. 

Step two: Intention. Hold your jewelry cupped within your hands and push into it the intention and energy of what you’re trying to achieve, be it general attractiveness, confidence, etc. 

Step three: Wear it! Wear the jewelry with pride and when you’re feeling down about yourself, remember your spell has your back.

-

>Nail polish

Step one: Decide. Choose an intention and research what color corresponds with said intention. You can wear nail art with different colors for more complex spells or simply wear pink to look more innocent. 

Step two: Wear it! It’s literally that easy.

- 

>Makeup

This one is sort of a combo of the other two. Allow me to explain.

Step one: Cleanse your makeup. Unfortunately your options are pretty much limited to smoke cleansing lest you ruin your makeup. If you’re able to get creative and find another means of cleansing that’s great! However, If you’re able- smoke would be the easiest

Step two(revisited:)  Intention. Hold your makeup item cupped within your hands and push into it the intention and energy of what you’re trying to achieve, be it general attractiveness, confidence, etc. 

Step three: Boost. For an added boost use color correspondence. Pick your intention, and research what colors correspond. If you’re looking to appear bold and confident, use warm colors for your eyeshadow such as red or orange. Add yellow for a boost of child-like happiness others will envy. 

Use black eyeliner for protection, brown to make you appear dependable, blue to appear bold and collected. Etc, you can find limitless charts on color correspondence on Pinterest or Tumblr. 

━─━────༺༻────━─━

Remember Glamours are meant to boost what you already have. So look deep within yourself and remember: you are beautiful, you are stunning, you shine and nothing will ever change that.

Legacies Written in Energy: Why We Create in a World Where Nothing Seems to Last

What remains when time fades everything

I have to confess: I’ve developed a new obsession. There’s something I find strangely captivating about videos of people exploring abandoned places. Old houses with peeling wallpaper, forgotten buildings overtaken by nature, dusty staircases that lead to nowhere—I can’t stop watching them.

There’s a peculiar kind of emptiness in those spaces, one that feels oddly comforting. I see what remains of what was once someone’s dream, someone’s home, and it leaves me in awe. These weren’t just houses—they were built with care, brick by brick, as if they could stand forever. But time has a way of erasing even the strongest foundations.

When I see those places, I find myself thinking about the people who lived there. Did they pour their hearts into building these homes? Did they think they were creating something that would last forever? And if they had known that one day, all of it would crumble, would they still have done it?

It’s a question that lingers in my mind. So much of our lives is spent working, striving, and building—careers, relationships, homes, legacies. We fight to leave our mark, to create something that proves we were here. But when I see those abandoned houses, I start to wonder if we’re chasing permanence in a world where nothing really lasts.

At first, this thought unsettled me. It made me question so much of what we value, of what we’re told to chase. But then I remembered something: just because something doesn’t seem to last forever doesn’t mean it didn’t matter.

Those houses, those places—they were never just about the walls or the furniture or the roof. They were about the lives lived inside them. The laughter, the arguments, the quiet moments of solitude. And though the structures may crumble, the energy of what happened there doesn’t just disappear.

The same is true for us. Whether we realize it or not, everything we do leaves a mark. We all contribute something to the world, even in small ways. It’s not about the legacies that are visible to everyone—it’s about the energy each of us leave behind. The kindness we show, the people we touch, the way we try to make the world a little better than we found it.

Even if what we build isn’t visible forever, the impact of our actions ripples outward, shaping the lives of others in ways we may never see. Because It’s not the physical things we create that endure—it’s the love, the effort, the intention behind them.

And there’s something comforting in that, too. Just like those houses, the things that feel overwhelming or all-consuming right now—every worry, every problem—they’ll fade too. Time has a way of reducing everything to rubble, not just the physical but the emotional. And somehow, knowing that the things weighing me down today will one day be as irrelevant as an abandoned house makes me feel lighter.

Again, that doesn’t mean what we do doesn’t matter. Quite the opposite. It’s a reminder that the legacy we leave isn’t about things—it’s about the energy we pour into the world and the connections we create.

In the end, it’s not about chasing permanence. It’s about being present, living with intention, doing our best, and contributing to something greater than ourselves. Because even if everything eventually crumbles, there’s beauty in knowing it stood, even if only for a moment—and in the ways it left its mark on the lives it touched.

Daily Secular Tarot Card

This card comes from the Tarot of the Divine by Yoshi Yoshitani.

The King of Cups is deeply emotional and protective of those they care about. The King of Cups knows that fulfilling relationships are as precious as pearls and are worth putting the work into. Wisdom and emotional control, not suppression, are the tools of the King of Cups… this King also reminds us that dragons are cool as hell.

Depending on the context some keywords you may associate with the King of Cups includes: wisdom, compassion, diplomacy, and emotional balance.

Other keywords (typically in a King of Cups reversed) you may associate with the King of Cups includes: anxiety, emotional-manipulation, moodiness, and violence.

Some questions the King of Cups may help you answer:

What emotional triggers are affecting my judgement and how can I develop the emotional intelligence to better control my reactions?

What boundaries do I need to set for my emotional wellness?

How can I lead with emotional intelligence in my personal and professional life?

What emotions am I avoiding and how can I process them healthily?

What personal practices can I use to keep me emotionally balanced and centered?

For my own personal reading I think the King of Cups serves as a reminder that having emotions is not a weakness, it is a strength. True weakness is using my emotions as an excuse to harm myself or others. True strength is using my emotions as a way to connect with myself and others.

What do you think of the King of Cups?

Shadow Work is NOT meant to be easy or comforting;

Guess it’s about time that we talk about this!

This is a reminder to myself and to anyone that might need it—the ones who feel like it’s only bringing them down, that it’s making them feel miserable or bad. Let’s clear up some things.

Feeling down in the moment is the best sign you can receive that IT IS WORKING! Shadow Work is the courage to look at the parts of yourself you despise the most, you fear the most, you are embarrassed of the most. It’s not simply acknowledging that bad things happened to you, it’s experiencing them all over again but now straightening up your back and looking right to its face.

I, myself, also am someone that's still learning about it and have been experiencing hard times throughout it. Sometimes I feel unmotivated and down, also lately I had noticed my sleep was a bit more inconsistent and I have big dark circles. Well, I know that saying this is probably going to scare some people even more away—and I understand the unsettling feelings! But the way that I see it, it’s like anything great in life: takes time, heavy work and some sacrifices.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not sacrificing my entire life because of it. I workout every single day, keep my mind active, go to university, all normal. But some minor sacrifices are the price we pay for lifelong healing. My personal experience’s greatest example of sacrifice is how much emotional energy it actually takes from you. I swear on my word that sometimes when I look at the notebook I use as my Shadow Work journal, I instantly feel kind of “off vibes”, like the energy that it has is unsettling—but, here’s the thing: it is!

The energy that it requires to heal your deepest traumas, pains, griefs, obviously wouldn’t be super light and nice. Your words carry the pain you felt, some that you still feel, the heaviness of its result on your life (maybe years, decades of constant suffering, even); it’s pretty obvious that the notebook that carries them wasn’t gonna be all warm and fuzzy.

It’s not easy, guys. And I know that, at this point, you might’ve already realized that, but I want to remember us all of something: it’s in adversity that we are able to grow. You are capable of living through this healing process, you are capable of surviving the dark before the light, you are capable of facing your monsters and returning with their heads on a stick. But you HAVE TO BELIEVE IT.

Live through the suffering stage of the process like the champion you already know you are. Don’t give up when you suddenly burst into tears during a meditation session where you talked to your younger self. Persist when you have to stop and take deep breaths at every few sentences you write when you are journaling about a traumatic event because it feels like it’s too much. Hold onto it tighter when you live all over again the worst thing that’s ever happened to you.

One last time: I’m not saying it’s easy or simple (in reality, those may be some of the hardest things you’ll ever have to do through your entire life, perhaps). But I do mean it when I say you’ll understand why you had to go through all that once you reach the light on the other side, and your scars will be the forever reminder THAT YOU ARE A SURVIVOR.

The same way a lot of kids are not scared of/don’t see evil in certain horror imageries until they are told that it is scary and choose to follow that thought—we should learn from them as adults and finally understand: monsters are only monsters when we give them the power to haunt us.
