i downloaded that app that lets you customize your own soundscapes because i was like well this probably still won't be for me but i'll try it out just to see. first i set up a cafe with loud babble so i could eavesdrop on the table next to me, but there was only about 2 minutes of recorded audio. so once i memorized the conversation, i moved on to an irish coastal seascape, where i discovered that you can set the sliders to "drowning in the open ocean." that legitimately relaxed me so much that my headache went away but after about 20 minutes my brain adapted enough for the Voices (TM) to return, so i turned to a thunderstorm where all the thunder sliders were turned up to 100% power. so you feel like you're in the middle of bullshit tornado country. after all this i discovered there's a haunted mansion soundscape already so. i guess i'll get some mileage out of this thing yeah.

i am once again recommending that, if you live in the middle of nowhere and your public library is lacking in digital resources, see if you can get an ecard through the largest library system in your state (for example, i live in massachusetts, so for me it's the boston public library). often they'll give you a card for free (or a nominal fee in some cases) if you have in-state residence, even if you don't live in the city it's in. it doesn't give you access to everything, obviously, but it's how i've accessed libby and kanopy for years even though the one in my town doesn't offer those services, and i just checked and they've expanded access to also include things like comic books, daily newspapers, and a meditation app. obviously it's gonna vary state to state but it's definitely worth a try!

Had a nightmare where someone asked me, "oh, you meditate? What app do you use?"

Google depression tips and despair at the vast landscape of people who just want your money. Don't you want to pay 40$ a month for our proven self help kit? What's the cost of your mental health? It's not predatory if it helps people, which we're like 30% sure it does. Try meditating! Go outside! Stop feeling so sorry for yourself! And most importantly, buy our products! I'm drowning I'm fucking drowning stop trying to make me pay for a deflated life preserver

i have got the floating/changed orientation/size sensation when lying in bed since i was a kid and feel i've always enjoyed it. its always felt so fragile, like it could snap any second and i want to stay in it. when i was meditating regularly last year or the year before i felt something very similar a few times and my teacher told me it is very common. i would feel my head/upper body was way wayyyyyy up high on the roof whilst my hands (sitting in my lap) were way down below and small. its disorienting in this very pleasant way and i always want to hold onto it, but grasping is the pleasant mind-state killer.

just completed my 1st ever lectio divina sitting in the rain with my cat and a big ol mug of coffee :,)

Mmm, definitely something the world needed: a Catholic start-up company. I imagine Caritas in Veritate had some guidance on this idea…

reblogging that post about fake cultivation pamphlets reading like bullshit mindfulness schemes reminded me that i used to meditate daily! i did it for almost three years, in fact, and i definitely think i derived some benefits from it. it also drove me legitimately crazy and i had to stop!!

because what those stupid 'guided meditation apps' don't tell you is that it is absolutely possible to meditate yourself into such a state of ~inner stillness~ that you completely lose your sense of self and all feelings and emotions and attachments feel fundamentally meaningless!! which is a terrifying thing to experience if you don't know to prepare yourself for it! do you think the average idiot using these meditation apps (aka, someone like me) would dothis on the regular if they knew that was a possibility?

anyway that happened to me in 2020 and i needed medical leave from work + like four months of therapy, which is how i discovered that i am not the only person to go through something like that. it's also why i low-key panic a little when my friends tell me they're practicing 'mindfulness' without a teacher who actually knows what the fuck they're doing.

A Mental Health client wanted calming scenes for the home page of their app. The images had to be able to loop continuously and change based on if the user was in light mode or dark mode. These are some of the options I came up with. In the end the client preferred the African savannah option the most, but stripped it back to work for both light and dark mode. It was really fun to work on these, while trying to figure out what the animations would be like.

lol the other day i told my pt i always use my knee brace at work (3x 4 hour shifts a week, sometimes less) bc if i don’t then i’ll be in significant pain and she told me off for it bc i’m “relying on it” too much and it’ll make my muscles weaker and make things worse in the long run. and when i said “i understand that so i don’t use it all the time. but you told me to use it when i’m in pain or standing/walking a lot.” she said “i only meant to use it right after our last appointment because you were in a lot of pain. only use it when you’re in extreme pain” and i said “but if i don’t use it Then i’m in extreme pain. idk what you want me to do” and she literally said “okay” in her “defuse the aggro patient” voice and moved on. like truly these people do not give a fuck about your day to day quality of life they only care about your long term statistics
