#Premium Prelude

Sometimes I wake up and I wonder why they made Kazuha’s demo theme Like That.

Like, the fact that they used the song from his teaser for the drumalong festival event means that hoyo definitely knows it too. His teaser contains his main leitmotif along with other important motives from the Inazuma soundtrack (which made it a fantastic preview for the nation’s style since we hadn’t even been there yet) and is overall very representative of Kazuha, but that’s just how the teaser soundtracks are supposed to be. They hint towards the characters’ main motives before we get the full version in the actual demo.

And then they made Kazuha’s demo theme a glorified 4 star theme. There’s really no other way to describe it! I could totally be missing something, but the most prominent musical motif in his demo song is the battle theme. His main motif is nowhere to be found and that’s just really sad because Kazuha’s main motif is so so good. It really does just feel like he got robbed musically in a way that literally no other character who was released around his time was (ie. Eula, Ayaka, and Yoimiya)

Take me to the alternate timeline where we got a cool demo version of Kazuha’s leitmotif instead of what we ended up with. Cuz as cool as his demo video is (and it is! I really do love it!) the music is always so disappointing compared to the teaser

Private equity finally delivered Sarah Palin's death panels

Tonight (Apr 26), I’ll be in Burbank, signing Red Team Blues at Dark Delicacies at 6PM.

Remember “death panels”? Sarah Palin promised us that universal healthcare was a prelude to a Stalinist nightmare in which unaccountable bureaucrats decided who lived or died based on a cost-benefit analysis of what it would cost to keep you alive versus how much your life was worth.

If you’d like an essay-formatted version of this post to read or share, here’s a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/26/death-panels/#what-the-heck-is-going-on-with-CMS

Palin was right that any kind of healthcare rationing runs the risk of this kind of calculus, where we weight spending $10,000 to extend a young, healthy person’s life by 40 years against $1,000 to extend an elderly, disabled person’s life by a mere two years.

It’s a ghastly, nightmarish prospect — as anyone who uses the private healthcare system knows very well. More than 27m Americans have no health insurance, and millions more have been tricked into buying scam “cost-sharing” systems run by evangelical grifters:

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/02/health/christian-health-care-insurance.html

But for the millions of Americans with insurance, death panels are an everyday occurrence, or at least a lurking concern. Anyone who pays attention knows that insurers have entire departments designed to mass-reject legitimate claims and stall patients who demand that the insurer lives up to its claim:

https://kffhealthnews.org/news/article/khn-podcast-an-arm-and-a-leg-how-to-shop-for-health-insurance-november-24-2021/

The private healthcare sector is designed to deny care. Its first duty is to its shareholders, not its patients, and every dollar spent on care is a dollar not available for dividends. The ideal insurance customer pays their premiums without complaint, and then pays cash for all their care on top of it.

All that was true even before private equity started buying up and merging whole swathes of the US healthcare system (or “healthcare” “system”). The PE playbook — slash wages, sell off physical plant, slash wages, reduce quality and raise prices — works in part because of its scale. These aren’t the usual economies of scale. Rather the PE strategy is to buy and merge all the similar businesses in a region, so customers, suppliers and workers have nowhere else to turn.

That’s bad enough when it’s aimed at funeral homes, pet groomers or any of the other sectors that have been bigfooted by PE:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/12/16/schumpeterian-terrorism/#deliberately-broken

But it’s especially grave when applied to hospitals:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/05/21/profitable-butchers/#looted

Or emergency room physicians:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/03/14/unhealthy-finances/#steins-law

And if you think that’s a capitalist hellscape nightmare, just imagine how PE deals with dying, elderly people. Yes, PE has transformed the hospice industry, and it’s even worse than you imagine.

Yesterday, the Center for Economic and Policy Research published “Preying on the Dying: Private Equity Gets Rich in Hospice Care,” written by some of the nation’s most valiant PE slayers: Eileen Appelbaum, Rosemary Batt and Emma Curchin:

https://cepr.net/report/preying-on-the-dying-private-equity-gets-rich-in-hospice-care/

Medicare pays private hospices $203-$1,462 per day to take care of dying old people — seniors that a doctor has certified to have less than six months left. That comes to $22.4b/year in public transfers to private hospices. If hospices that $1,462 day-rate, they have lots of duties, like providing eight hours’ worth of home care. But if the hospice is content to take the $203/day rate, they are not required to do anything. Literally. It’s just free money for whatever the operator feels like doing for a dying elderly person, including doing nothing at all.

As Appelbaum told Maureen Tkacik for her excellent writeup in The American Prospect: “Why anybody commits fraud is a mystery to me, because you can make so much money playing within the guidelines the way the payment scheme operates.”

https://prospect.org/health/2023-04-26-born-to-die-hospice-care/

In California, it’s very, very easy to set up a hospice. Pay $3,000, fill in some paperwork (or don’t — no one checks it, ever), and you’re ready to start caring for beloved parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers, aunts and uncles as they depart this world. You do get a site inspection, but don’t worry — you aren’t required to bring your site up to code until after you’re licensed, and again, they never check — not even if there are multiple complaints. After all, no one at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has the job of tracking complaints.

This is absolute catnip for private equity — free government money, no obligations, no enforcement, and the people you harm are literally dying and can’t complain. What’s not to like? No wonder PE companies have spent billions “rolling up” hospices across the country. There are 591 hospices in Van Nuys, CA alone — but at least 30 of them share a single medical director:

https://auditor.ca.gov/reports/2021-123/index.html#pg34A

Medicare caps per-patient dispersals at $32,000, which presents an interesting commercial question for remorseless, paperclip-maximizing, grandparent-devouring private equity ghouls: do you take in sick patients (who cost more, but die sooner) or healthy patients (cost less, potentially live longer)?

In Van Nuys, the strategy is to bring in healthy patients and do nothing. 51% of Van Nuys hospice patients are “live discharged” — that is, they don’t die. This figure — triple the national average — is “a reliable sign of fraud.”

There are so many hospice scams and most of them are so stupid that it takes a monumental failure of oversight not to catch and prevent them. Here’s a goodun: hospices bribe doctors to “admit” patients to a hospice without their knowledge. The hospice bills for the patient, but otherwise has no contact with them. This can go on for a long time, until the patient tries to visit the doctor and discovers that their Medicare has been canceled (you lose your Medicare once you go into hospice).

Another scam: offer patients the loosest narcotics policy in town, promising all the opioids they want. Then, once their benefits expire, let them die of an overdose (don’t worry, people who die in hospice don’t get autopsies):

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/12/05/how-hospice-became-a-for-profit-hustle

You can hire con artists to serve as your sales-force, and have them talk vulnerable, elderly people into enrolling in hospice care by convincing them they have nothing to live for and should just die already and not burden their loved ones any longer.

Hospitals and hospices also collude: hospitals can revive dying patients, ignoring their Do Not Resuscitate orders, so they can be transfered to a hospice and die there, saving the hospital from adding another dead patient to their stats.CMS’s solution is perverse: they’re working with Humana to expand Medicare Advantage (a scam that convinces patients to give up Medicare and enrol in a private insurance program, whose private-sector death panel rejects 13% of claims that Medicare would have paid for). The program will pay private companies $32,000 for every patient who agrees to cease care and die. As our friends on the right like to say, “incentives matter.”

Appelbaum and co have a better idea:

Do more enforcement: increase inspections and audits.

Block mergers and rollups of hospices that make them too big to fail and too big to jail.

Close existing loopholes.

They should know. Appelbaum and her co-authors write the best, most incisive analysis of private equity around. For more of their work, check out their proposal for ending pension-plan ripoffs by Wall Street firms:

Three houses get more representation in heroes because its popular ?

I guess?

My issue isn't with how popular or loved Fodlan is, but what FEH was supposed to be.

With FE Cipher, even if Fates and Awakening were very popular, we still had entire sets featuring FE6 characters. Ditto for FE4/5/8 (tfw a Bael got its own card).

CYL is a popularity contest, that much I understand.

And yet, I also understand FEH is supposed to be a celebration of the franchise itself - bla bla FEH is a main game because Vero is a paid DLC in Engage bla but would anyone really pay 60 bucks to play book 1 and 6 about Vero's story? Really ? If this is a main game , then the first warriors game is one too lol - so why are the same 3 games over represented ?

In Cipher, we had a Fates set, then a Jugdral set (featuring CIpher OCs?), then an Archanea set, then an awakening set, then a Valentia one, etc etc.

But if they follow the current FEH, it'd be one fodlan set, one thracia set, one fodlan set, one awakening set, one fodlan set, one tellius set, one fodlan set, one elibe set, one fodlan set etc.

I really get how popular units/games will always sell and the fan favourites are always represented, I played through 2 Tales gacha games lol, Links had basically a bajillion of Leons and Yuris while poor Caius barely existed, and Rowen never got a premium unit!

CYL is a fan event - for sure - but beyond CYL, it's just FEH that tires me - it's not a celebration of the FE series anymore, it's just a cashgrab to take money from some fans using their current obsession (Fateswakening in Year1-2, Fodlan now) so while it never concerned me in the first few years, I dgaf and moved on, wondering if the units I like would ever get a thing (and they did! Saias was released for free lol) but now with the state of powercreep the game has?

You have to roll for units, to get their skills and fodder them to units you care about, and even then, they might not be able to clean PVE content - I like when things are challenging, sure, but the last Seer's Snare was a cruel wake-up : even with the newest shiny skills and whatnot, Caineghis cannot compete with duo!Anna. P!Naesala has the WTA against them? Who gives a fig, he dies on initiation.

Hegemongard was just a prelude to what FEH would become lol - even if, with investment, old units could still put up a fight against her, but you had to get dedicated team to counter her.

Now? With a team with W!Mitris, L!Alear and A!Elincia? Good luck tanking anything lol - sure, Tina is a godsend and I find if hilarious how this random nobody from FE5 is supposed to counter the crazed current meta, but it's the same issue - sell ridiculous units, and sell ridiculous counters.

It's the essence of a gacha game.

Maybe the next A!Caineghis or maybe a L!Caineghis will make the character relevant again - at least if you want to play and use him, but... as far as FEH is concerned, no one gaf about Cain, so he might have gotten a refine and yet he'll not get another unit. Forgive him in you want to play PVE content - or roll for new premium units and field him as a cute mascot.

Cocaine Election

It was 2016. I lived in a bougie residential community they refer to as “resort living”, so called because you basically felt like you were renting a place in a Caribbean all-inclusive hotel.

The Palazzo was painted in deep terracottas and ravishing sunset yellows. Tropical vegetation lined the winding paths connecting the buildings, arriving in a climax of luscious azure freeform saltwater pool overlooked by yoga short clad cardio influencers prepping for their next GRWM video. Everybody there had a story, ranging from the indulged and entitled trust fund kids trying to make their way in [insert entertainment/content medium here], to the dodgier members of the community like Dan.

Dan was a lumberingly graceful british chap standing at a towering 6’8”. His tousled hair and shaggy beard sandwiched one of his many overpriced sunglasses, but unlike most appointed with TV screen size Pradas, he had zero pretension. They just looked good, hid his bloodshot hungover eyes, and their tint pushed the envelope on that power dynamic that comes from never being fully sure the bespectacled is even paying attention to you. A coarse cockney accent added extra grit to his unpolished majesty and he carried himself with an insouciance as authentic as the most operation hardened SAS soldier.

Dan ran private security for ultra high net worth individuals and pop stars. His stories went deep and wide, but he would rarely expound on them, sharing only little details that lit the way to his dark past. He’s the sort of person you could be sure had disposed of a few problems in his time. You don’t fuck with Dan. He teased and prodded, but always with a softness and jocularity that betrayed a sweet, gooey center.

The rich kids clung to Dan, desperate for the contact high that came from brushing up against his working class authenticity. He was to their WASPiness what skinny jeans are to the hipster - a faint attempt at vicarious realness that would always be intrinsically out of reach. I cannot explain why Dan surrounded himself with these people. I get the sense, though, that it was some form of fathering instinct. Perhaps also that he received a little worship in balance to his stoic work life where the fanaticism was reserved for the talent and his employer.

The cocaine that Dan had access to was good. Really good. It generated a high equivalent to that first line I did with my brother back when I was 15.

A good 15 years had elapsed since then, and snowdrifts worth of blow that made me feel like my tolerance was permanently altered. It turns out that I simply hadn’t been accessing the premium powder. It was incumbent upon Dan to have the connects considering his position. He was the guy famous rappers would turn to for party favors and he couldn’t let them down.

The shit he got deserved every hackneyed euphemism under the sun - it was a marching powder of revolutionary quality and could have just as easily powered aircraft carriers as much as it supplied the cuntery that clawed to Dan.

The first time that I took Dan’s stuff, it was within an hour of the 2016 Trump victory. TVs had been switched off at Hilary’s speech signaling the count would continue into the night, only to be turned back on minutes later when Trump declared victory. Minutes later, all the lights within a half mile radius went out. A blackout that emphasized the terror of the turnaround and one which, in my already addled state, felt like a prelude to a North Korean invasion.

I don’t know why my mind went to this east asian Red Dawn scenario, why I anticipated a ground strike, or how I connected any of those dots to anything other than a blip caused by mass usage of televisual electricity.

There’s nothing like the promise of apocalypse to rouse my hackles. Even to this day, sober, I still have a strange desire to die in a plane crash and savor those moments in between knowing and expiring. I’m fascinated by the thought life that precedes imminent and violent death.

I rushed outside to take my final sips of freedom and to seek out other people confused by the pandemonium. I encountered Dan’s acolytes who had resolved to get donuts at the store down the street. What better way to usher in this new beginning and unholy end than with a belly full of sugar and a mouth covered in jam. Like all social situations, my analysis and ultimately any decision to tag along with people was only ever driven by the promise of drink or drugs at the end of the rainbow. With Dan, if reputation served, that was an inevitability.

“Dan’s at his. We’ll see you back there!” They said, gleaming at the fantasy of buying cheap donuts and feeling like the everyman.

I made my way to Dan’s and used a knock that felt like a secret handshake. I figured that some level of esoteric announcement would be appreciated to signal that I wasn’t the security patrol. He opened the door and welcomed me in.

“Me old mucker, ’ow’s it goin’?”

He warmly ushered me into his extremely minimalist space. Like a CIA field officer with a history of secretive sorties to remote places to tinker with governments, he kept everything extremely sparse. I almost expected a go bag to be hidden underneath the floorboards, with a can of sardines on the windowsill. Not so much non-attachment as a life spent living on the edges of society and ready to disappear at a moment’s notice.

I presented the facts as they stood, “If it’s Trump’s America now, I need to get drunk and high. Where’s the coke, Danny boy?” I dispensed with the deference I would have assumed he would usually expect. I needed my drugs.

“Up there, above the fridge. Use the chair, shorty,” he replied, acceding to the urgency of the situation and the flailing look in my eyes.

I emptied a hillock of flake on the granite countertop, the contrast of white on near black building the first squares of the chessboard on which I perpetually found myself in this dark period of my life. Always impetuously making moves which any high school junior chess club member could see would seal my fate, and yet I was oblivious.

There’s this place you get to with uppers. You feel anxious and agitated from the high and you look to the cause of your problems to solve them. Caught in this self-destructive cycle where the only thing to come to your aid is more of the thing that made you need help in the first place.

A platinum Amex card, cleaned down with the bottom of my sweat through shirt, arranged the pile into a neat line and I was off the the races. An endless rain of disdain on the four years to come and little to no investment in the damage it would do to the country. Here in my amphetamine pinball machine, I just rattled, banged and dropped.

Maligayang Pask-OH SHIP! Mixtape 2, Listening Guide 3

Section 19:  A Christmas Eve Vigil Mass

Depending on one’s maturity level and eagerness, many a Christmas Eve Vigil Mass can be EITHER a test of nerves or something fulfilling. The listener sits in a large church, in which Douglas Major works the large pipe organ as he and the Empire Brass kick off the service with their arrangement of the duet - "Wie will ich mich freuen, wie will ich mich laben" - from the Bach cantata Wir müssen durch viel Trübsal, BWV 146, as a prelude.

Then, they join the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble and the Kings College Choir – under Sir David Wilcocks – in his arrangement of “O Come All Ye Faithful.” As the clergy and altar servers file by down the nave, the listener tries not to laugh as the tweens and teens around one sing:

“O come let us adore Him O COME LET US ADORE HIM OH COME LET US ADOOOOOOORE HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMM CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSTTT THHHHHHEEEEE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRDDDD!!!”

Source: https://www.buzzfeed.com/robinedds/while-shepherds-washed-their-socks-by-night.

The Lifeway Worship singers usher in “The Glorias of Christmas.” The Maulbronn Chamber Choir and the Hanoverian Court Orchestra under Jurgen Budday acclaim, “And he shall purify the sons of Levi.” Michael Chance – in a cantor’s cassock – stands on the pulpit and joins in with two more excerpts from Handel’s Messiah: “Behold, a virgin shall conceive” and “O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion.” Sal Soria and the St. Pat’s Cathedral Choir sing “What Sweeter Music.”

Another cantor – James Bowman – sings “Lullaby, My Sweet Little Baby” in honor of the Infant Jesus. Even the usually-ultra-cool Backstreet Boys wear solemn robes as they sing “Silent Night.” Jose Mari Chan, also in a robe, declares “The Sound of Life.”

Michael George enters the pulpit, singing “Großer Herr, o starker König.” The Washington Symphonic Brass and William Neil burst into their arrangement of another movement from Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, the final chorus “Nun seid ihr wohl gerochen,” as a postlude.

Section 20: We Wish You a Merry Christmas!

The section starts softly at first as the listener exits the church, as a festively-decked Princess Belle and Angelique (topping the church’s outdoor tree) sing a reprise of “As Long As There’s Christmas.” Mariah Carey bursts out of the sanctuary, proclaiming “Joy to the World.”

All exiting the church join the Kidsongs Kids in singing “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” and then the “Hallelujah Chorus” (with the Maulbronn Chamber Choir and the Hanoverian Court Orchestra under Budday joining in). Wizzard appears on an outdoor portable stage, and everyone rocks out to “I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day.”

Section 21: Because it’s Christmas

The playlist ends with a trio of hopeful tunes. Martina McBride tells the listener to “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” Then, Johnny Mathis sings a medley of “Christmas Is for Everyone” and “Where Can I Find Christmas?” Finally, Placido Domingo and Vanessa Williams conclude the second playlist – and 2-part series – with their touching cover of Barry Manilow’s “Because it’s Christmas.”  

Best listened with Spotify Premium.

A Glimpse of the Skyline: Mahanakhon Skywalk Experiences

The Mahanakhon Skywalk experiences offer visitors an exhilarating journey to the heights of Bangkok, presenting some of the most breathtaking panoramic views of the city. Located in the heart of the bustling Thai capital, the King Power Mahanakhon Building stands as one of the tallest structures in Bangkok. The Skywalk, perched at its peak, invites adventurers and sightseers alike to explore a world above the clouds, providing a unique perspective on the vibrant metropolis below.

The adventure begins at the ground floor, where visitors are welcomed into the state-of-the-art digital corridor, a prelude to the marvels that lie ahead. This interactive display showcases the architectural ingenuity behind the skyscraper and sets the stage for the thrilling ascent. The high-speed elevator whisks guests up 74 floors in under 50 seconds, a feat in itself, offering a smooth and swift transition from ground level to the heavens above.

As the elevator doors open, guests are greeted by the Indoor Observation Deck on the 74th floor. The vast expanse of glass windows offers a 360-degree view of Bangkok, stretching from the Chao Phraya River to the farthest edges of the city. On a clear day, one can see up to 80 kilometers away, capturing the full grandeur of Bangkok's skyline and its surrounding landscapes. The Indoor Observation Deck also features interactive Augmented Reality (AR) screens, providing detailed information and historical insights about notable landmarks visible from this vantage point.

For those seeking an even higher perspective, the journey continues to the 78th floor, home to the Outdoor Observation Deck. This open-air platform is the crown jewel of the Mahanakhon Skywalk experiences. Here, the unobstructed views are nothing short of spectacular, offering an exhilarating blend of natural beauty and urban grandeur. The gentle breeze at this altitude adds to the thrill, as visitors stand at one of the highest points in Bangkok, looking down upon the sprawling city below.

One of the standout features of the Outdoor Observation Deck is the Glass Tray. This glass-floored section extends out from the side of the building, allowing brave souls to walk 310 meters above the ground with nothing but clear glass beneath their feet. This adrenaline-pumping experience is not for the faint-hearted but provides an unforgettable memory for those daring enough to take the step. The Glass Tray is a perfect spot for taking dramatic photos, with the city’s skyline serving as a majestic backdrop.

For a more leisurely experience, visitors can relax at the Rooftop Bar on the same level. Here, they can enjoy a selection of premium drinks and cocktails while soaking in the views. The bar offers a perfect setting for unwinding after a day of sightseeing, with the sparkling city lights creating a magical ambiance as the sun sets and night descends upon Bangkok.

The Mahanakhon Skywalk experiences are further enhanced by various events and activities held throughout the year. From yoga sessions at sunrise to exclusive dining experiences under the stars, the Skywalk offers a range of unique opportunities to enjoy the sky-high venue. These events often feature live music, performances, and themed decorations, adding an extra layer of excitement and charm to the visit.

The Role of Organic Smokes in Mindfulness and Meditation

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in organic smokes, particularly among individuals seeking a holistic approach to wellness. Organic smokes, including herbal cigarettes, natural cigarettes, and ayurvedic cigarettes, offer a unique experience that can complement mindfulness and meditation practices. This article explores how these organic alternatives can enhance your mindfulness journey, helping you achieve greater inner peace and relaxation.

Understanding Organic Smokes

Organic smokes are made from natural ingredients without the harmful chemicals found in traditional cigarettes. They include a variety of products such as organic cigarettes, herbal cigarettes, and ayurvedic cigarettes, each offering distinct benefits. Organic vapes, with flavors like strawberry, mango vape, and lush ice flavor vape, provide a smokeless option that is equally enjoyable.

Enhancing Mindfulness with Organic Smokes

Mindfulness is the practice of being fully present and engaged in the moment, without judgment. Incorporating organic smokes into your mindfulness routine can create a ritualistic experience that promotes relaxation and focus. Here are a few ways organic smokes can aid in mindfulness:

Sensory Engagement: The act of smoking an organic cigarette or vaping an organic vape engages multiple senses—taste, smell, and touch. This sensory engagement helps anchor your awareness to the present moment. For example, the rich flavors of a strawberry mango vape can provide a delightful sensory experience that keeps you grounded.

Breath Awareness: Smoking or vaping naturally involves deep, rhythmic breathing, which is a core aspect of mindfulness and meditation. The inhalation and exhalation process with an organic cigarette or a prime ice pop vape can mirror the calming effect of breath-focused meditation, encouraging deeper relaxation.

Creating Rituals: Establishing a mindful smoking ritual can enhance your practice. Setting aside time to enjoy an organic cigarette or a mango vape can serve as a dedicated period for mindfulness, helping you detach from daily stresses and focus on the moment.

Meditation and Organic Smokes

Meditation is a practice that involves quieting the mind and focusing inward. Organic smokes can complement meditation by providing a calming prelude or enhancing the meditative experience itself.

Preparation: Before beginning your meditation session, enjoying an organic cigarette or a herbal cigarette can help you transition from the hustle and bustle of daily life to a more serene state. The natural ingredients in ayurvedic cigarettes, often infused with calming herbs, can prepare your mind and body for meditation.

Aromatherapy: Many organic smokes include aromatic herbs that have natural calming properties. For instance, a lush ice flavor vape or an organic vape with soothing scents can create a relaxing atmosphere conducive to meditation. Aromatherapy combined with the act of smoking can deepen your meditative state.

Grounding Practice: If you find your mind wandering during meditation, taking a few puffs of a natural cigarette or a strawberry mango vape can help bring your focus back. The act of smoking can serve as a grounding tool, anchoring your attention to the present moment.

Considering the Vape Smoke Price

When integrating organic smokes into your mindfulness and meditation practices, it's important to consider the vape smoke price. High-quality organic vapes and cigarettes might come at a premium, but investing in these products can significantly enhance your overall experience. The cost reflects the quality of ingredients and the care taken in their production, ensuring you receive the best possible benefits.

Conclusion

Organic smokes, including organic cigarettes, herbal cigarettes, and organic vapes with flavors like strawberry, mango, and lush ice, offer a unique way to enhance your mindfulness and meditation practices. By engaging your senses, promoting breath awareness, and creating calming rituals, these natural alternatives can help you achieve a deeper state of relaxation and focus. Whether you're enjoying an ayurvedic cigarette or a prime ice pop vape, integrating organic smokes into your routine can transform your mindfulness journey. Remember to consider the vape smoke price as a worthwhile investment in your well-being, allowing you to fully enjoy the benefits of these natural products.
