Exploring Pristine Mind Meditation for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A Path to Effortless Rest

“Discover how pristine mind meditation may offer a gentle, restorative state of awareness without the energy costs that often come with post-exertional malaise.” Living with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome means every action, every exertion, has a cost. For many, even a few minutes of focus or effort can lead to post-exertional malaise—a profound worsening of symptoms that can last for days. But what…

On the outskirts of Gotham a farm is made.

No one can pinpoint when it was started but it was clearly bountiful.

New orchards of plums apples and several other fruit whisper promises of fruits in the years to come.

Bee houses buzzed with life and ducks quacked and scurried to and from their pond, coop and the garden.

Vegetables by the rows with seasonal berries brushes spring up at the corners of the property.

Greenery that almost seemed to glow with how lush it was.

It was like a small oasis in the desert of Gotham’s dirty land.

And it was ran by only three people.

The woman’s name was Sam. She was known as an activist who seemed to do the primary care of the plants. The property was in her name and she went out of her way to invite people to take what they need.

Danny was the most well known of the trio. He brought the produce into the heart of the city. Anywhere that would take the food, kitchens, pantries, school cafeterias even people’s doorsteps.

Tucker was the technical mastermind, hidden but equally important. The sprinklers, planning of the pollination rotation, harvesting planning and statistics were his main focus on the farm. Not a single square inch of the the land was not under his watchful gaze.

All the food was fresh or properly stored and most interesting of all free.

Of course people were going to talk.

I recently overheard a conversation about how to get kids mending and wanting to mend. I had to try soooo hard not to jump into that conversation. Still, glad people are thinking about mending and that it is a topic of conversation!

My kids now bring me their clothes to be mended. These are not my eldest’s favourite trousers, simply because, “They haven’t been mended enough yet.” But we’ve made a good start.

There are actually two patches here: one quick, strong one made of old cargo shorts underneath the worn area, and this cotton batik mouse print that my mum gave me once on top. I was worried it wouldn’t be strong enough on its own. I hemmed it with blanket stitch and used sesame seed stitch (i think?) to add texture and longevity.

Pile 1 🌸

embrace the life cycle: Death is an inevitable part of the cycle of life, a natural shift from one state to another. It's a process that every living being must go through. But death does not mean the absolute end of something. As living beings, we all carry on in different ways, even when we're no longer alive. Our ideas, our love, our shared memories, and our work here on Earth live on through future generations. As you grieve for those you've lost, repeat the phrase I will look for new meaning in the cycle of life. Hold space for the beautiful life that was, and open your heart to how that life lives on in new ways.

Pile 2 🦨

embracing imperfection: Natures provides us with such beautiful examples of the brilliance inherent in imperfection. There are albino animals, flowers that grow from concrete, and an entire crooked forest in Poland. Each of these occurrences reminds us that things do not need to be perfect in order to be beautiful, valuable, or appreciated. Today, as you walk, examine how you may have judged yourself as imperfect, flawed. Take stock of the toll that negative self-talk may have had on your self-esteem and self-image. How can you reframe your relationship with yourself and embrace your imperfections?

Pile 3 🦓

mind and body: We often move through the world without giving much thought to the connection between our brain and body -- the amazing network that allows us to make complex movement without a perceived thought. Today, plan a short stroll around your backyard, through the neighborhood, or in a nearby park. As you walk, bring your attention to the weight of each step and the feeling of each toe making a connection with the ground, the stretch of the muscles in your legs, the way your arms move at your side. Be present with your physical self, uniting your mind and body.

Pile 4 🦈

trust yourself to soar: When baby birds take their first flight, they are following their natural instincts. With wobbly legs and freshly formed wings, they leap from trees, cliffs, and ledges to experience their first taste of aerial freedom -- not because they are fearless, but because their instincts tell them that they can, that it's time. When your gut tells you you're ready, don't hold back from taking a leap in your life. Let your intuition guide you and trust yourself to soar.

Pile 5 🐅

wide open spaces: Find a quiet place to sit with your eyes closed for several minutes. Visualize yourself walking through rolling green hills, stretching as far as the eye can see. See the grass and wildflowers underfoot, and feel the clean fresh breeze on your face. You are the only person as far as the eye can see. Notice what it feels like to move through the wide open landscape, with no limits, no boundaries, and no restrictions. take 5 deep breaths and then open your eyes. Return to this meditation when you feel stressed or constrained.

Pile 6 🐛

find sweet release: The natural world is constant releasing pressure. When our oceans swell, waves lap onto your shores. When clouds get full, they burst into rain and sprinkle our shoulders. When geysers overheat, they erupt into hot steam, radiating warmth. Today, as you walk, contemplate pressure and release in your own life. Is there anything building up inside of you on the verge of exploding? What conversations, activities, or decisions will help you ease the pressure in your life? How can you find moments of release?

Pile 7 🦋

wisdom in the soil: There is wisdom in the soil. Having held humanity for the entirety of our existence on Earth, the ground beneath our feet has been present for every major human victory and failure throughout history. Today, find a spot to stand outside. Imagine the soil beneath your feet as a wise elder, eager to disclose all its secrets to you. Imagine all that's transpired in this spot over thousands of years. What wisdom is the soil sharing with you?

Pile 8 🦇

support diversity: Nature is a lesson in the importance of diversity. The natural world is full of diverse ecosystems, plants, and animals -- including us humans. Every living thing has a unique and special purpose in contributing to life on Earth, and when the health and viability of an ecosystem or species is in danger, it can have a ripple effect. When one being suffers, we all suffer. Today, pause to consider your own community's diversity. What can you do to foster, protect, and support diversity in your ecosystem?

Pile 9 🪺

thriving, not surviving: A cactus can thrive in the desert. The hot, dry climate is exactly what it needs to grow and flourish. A redwood tree, however, would perish in that ecosystem. Like plants, individuals need specific things to make them comfortable and happy. Today, identify 3 things you need to prosper in your environment, and commit to putting those things in place so that you can thrive.

Pile 10 🦢

cleansing rain: Find a place to sit quietly for a few minutes. Close your eyes and imagine a rainstorm rolling in. Feel the experience of the storm surrounding you. Hear the loud claps of thunder. See the bright flashes of lightning. Listen for the pitter-patter of raindrops on the trees, the ground, the rocks. Now imagine that this rain has come to cleanse you. Think of something that's causing you stress, and allow the raindrops to wash over you, taking your troubles along with them as they run into the ground.

hey this isn’t aimed at anyone in particular but I’m saying it for the record here: if I tell you no, please stop messaging me about fundraisers and mutual aid.

I get enough messages that it’s impossible for me to keep up without devoting at least half an hour each day, when I’m not even on tumblr that long most days. Me having a boundary about this isn’t a moral failing, it’s a lifeboat for me on my own blog.

In my personal life I’m already advocating and donating literally as much as I can spare. This is not me not caring, it’s just me not willing to interact with that on the one place I go online to not interact with irl news and world events for the most part.

I cannot be upset all the time. I cannot be upset everywhere. I cannot use all my emotional and mental energy fielding my own upset from ongoing events. My options are to hold boundaries about this or stop coming online at all.

I’m all for sharing information and signal boosting to reasonable extents, but the scale of it this year is so large and so enduring that it is literally not possible to for me to participate on every account I have. I’ve previously shared links to Gaza eSIM donations and a major hub of verified Go Fund Mes here and elsewhere online. We, the online humans, know how to look those things up ourselves by now. There are many, many people choosing to do advocacy work, and right now, I can’t be one of them.

If you’re extremely upset when I tell you I can’t share/donate right now about a Gaza family or personal fundraiser you ask me to share here, just unfollow and block me. That’s what those buttons are for. Protect your own emotions and energy and get me off your feed instead of staying upset and continuing to engage with online people or content that upsets you.

Please don’t send repeated angry messages based on manufactured purity politics and moral outrage into my messages and inbox when I exercise the right to run my own blog.

do you ever think about how vekoa addresses people by full name like a Friend. like she is trying to be infrastructure rather than a person.

[saints-who-never-existed]

It's just hit me all over again that it's Crozier who is the very first and one of the only people we see on screen actually touch Little with any kind of positive intent.

That fleeting wee pat on the arm that ends their very first interaction in Episode One.

The idea of Little expressing comfort through physical touch but seldom, if ever, receiving it in that way in return is - as we all know - enough to drive me wild.

But the idea of someone - specifically Crozier - understanding that about him? Noting the way he expresses himself and reciprocating in kind? Well, that's something else entirely and I'll never be over it...
