The idea is that if you don't let all that energy just leak away physically, and instead channel it up toward the sixth chakra, you'd actually reach enlightenment. Now, look, I’m not claiming a woman absolutely *has* to stop her period to reach spiritual awakening—that's a big leap—but it would certainly make the whole process a lot smoother. According to the teachings in Sex and the City, halting menstruation effectively halts the aging process in women. The logic is that you retain more estrogen instead of burning through it. So, ladies, you might want to give that some serious thought...🙂

Having kids works the same way. You can basically stretch out that period of feeling good every single year. If you have one kid, you're saving eleven eggs for later. Then you just breeze right into menopause.

so you actually practicing Sex and the City?

Hannah Morris3 said:Menstruation serves as both a spiritual and physical cleansing process—not just for women, but for men as well. Women essentially absorb negative energetic concentrations—what we call emotions and feelings—from men and other women alike. This emotional buildup can also stem from the subconscious; it's those suppressed feelings deep in the soul finally breaking free. An energetic concentrate, a feeling, or an emotion is really just a thought imprinted onto Spirit or energy.

Blood represents the union of mind, air, water, fire, and earth. I’ve always viewed menstruation as a unique gift from God, designed to purge the human race of both emotional and physical impurities. Without it, people would undergo an involuntary spiritual purging lasting 25 to 50 years just to stay alive.
....
Once women hit menopause, their bodies begin to mirror those of men. At that stage, only a voluntary spiritual cleansing involving the five elements—mind, air, fire, water, and earth—can prevent rapid decline and death. Decay is as much an emotional issue as a physical one. Honestly, men who rely on women for spiritual cleansing through their menstrual cycle tend to die off even faster.

So basically, if you're pure enough, you don't even need that menstrual cleansing.😁

Anyone here able to break down how masturbation fits into the macrobiotic perspective?

Most stuff I read says it lasts about three days for women, which is pretty much my experience too.

Has anyone actually managed to stop their period entirely? (And no, I’m not talking about people with eating disorders).

I'm really getting into Tai Chi and Qi Gong lately. So, who’s actually the best instructor for this kind of stuff in the States? Also, what’s the consensus on Jasim Miklecu?
thanks😁

Honestly, I’m usually an open book. I love being upfront about everything.

Back when I was seeing this guy—we’d only been dating for a few months—I felt this huge urge to tell him I loved him. But then I overthought it. I thought, "This is stupid. We haven't even been together long enough for me to actually love him."
So I just kept my mouth shut.

Fast forward to later on, after we had already stopped seeing each other, and it finally hit me: I really did love him. I ended up telling him, but by then, the spark was gone. It just wasn't the same.

I should have just said it right then and there.
Maybe things would have turned out differently.

so why'd you move back?

Count me in. I'm officially joining the club of people who aren't happy with anything right now.😎

Where'd you disappear to? Why'd you come back? I'd probably head out somewhere too, but honestly, I have no clue where.

So, which sides do you recommend?

In my view—and this goes for almost any community with a broad range of topics, from hard science to sports to absolutely nothing at all—these spaces act as a cross-section of society and its collective frustrations.

See, people on Reddit can be as anonymous as they want to be, and they tend to treat these boards like a pressure valve. It’s where they put on their masks—acting smarter, cooler, more attractive, more successful... you name it.

They basically chase this specific vibe where they get to be everything they can't quite manage to be in their actual lives due to various circumstances.

I’m not just blowing smoke here; I’m speaking from years of lurking and posting on different corners of the internet. I’ve met plenty of people behind their handles, and more often than not, the person and the persona are polar opposites.

There’s no harm in it, really. We all have that itch to be someone else sometimes, but the problem arises when someone gets too deep into their online character—they start losing track of which version of themselves is actually "real."

Is it the person in RL, is it the profile, or is it some messy combination of both? Who knows...

If I may add, Reddit is actually one of the milder, more tolerant corners of the web. People here actually engage in discussion. Most other sites are just endless cycles of sports talk, music debates, constant trolling, and pure spam.

I don't wear a mask. Maybe that's why I don't fit in with all the masked types on here.
This is just me.😎

I'm honestly getting pretty burnt out on this forum, but I have no clue where else to go.
😎
Anyone got any suggestions?

Honestly, I'm pretty much done with this forum, but I have no clue where else to go.
😎

The only real sin here is being an asshole to people

Honestly, chatting on here feels a lot like therapy

You can get way more real because you feel anonymous, plus there’s a massive variety of people reading your stuff

It helps you figure out who people actually are, but just a heads up: don't ever take anything written on this site personally or too seriously😘

Man, stop making problems where there aren't any.
Figure out what you actually want and just go for it.
Sports are always the move—just find the one you love.👍

If your intuition is as sharp as you claim, then you already know the answer!

Stop obsessing over everyone else's wins and focus on your own game.

I used to know this girl I thought was absolutely flawless. It wasn't even jealousy, I just genuinely admired how perfect she seemed. Then she got diagnosed with a brain tumor and I haven't seen her since.
Nobody in this world is truly perfect, period. Unless you're a saint, nobody is.
Besides, perfection isn't a destination.
It's more like a journey you take toward becoming your best self.🤣
The real challenge for all of us is trying to live up to the most epic version of ourselves.🤣

I’m telling you again, the answer to good versus evil is all about Yin and Yang.
If there’s black, there’s white. Once the darkness hits its absolute peak, it flips straight into light. Night always turns into day eventually.

There is no such thing as good or evil—period. A serial killer is merely a tool, and I suppose they aren't even aware of that. Naturally, society will label them an evil entity and pursue some form of punishment, which is fine, I guess, since society itself is just another tool—and most people aren't even conscious of that fact.

So, neither society nor the killer is doing evil, nor are they doing good.

I believe the only way a person can actually do "good"—though not the kind of "good" defined by these binary concepts—is to rid themselves of the notion of good and evil entirely, effectively "clearing" their mind.

Good is the same as evil, and frankly, neither one truly exists.

I guess good exists just like evil does. If there's good, there's gotta be evil too.
