In due course we shall come back to the starting point. Time cannot take us out of time, as space cannot take us out of space. All you get by waiting is more waiting. Absolute perfection is here and now, not in some future, near or far. The secret is in action—here and now. It is your behaviour that blinds you to yourself. Disregard whatever you think yourself to be and act as if you were absolutely perfect—whatever your idea of perfection may be. All you need is courage.

I am that - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

This is something I'm going to incorporate into my daily awareness practice.

Morning meditation, supplemented with gratitude and manifestation practice.

Negative thoughts throughout the day should be inverted to affirm the positive.

This idea of 'as I think, so I become' is evidently true for the negative, so why not the positive. Guess we will find out...

If you need something to worship, then worship life - all life, every last crawling bit of it! We're all in this beauty together!

Lung Capacity is one of the best predictors of Longevity

Recently I started reading this book, its already very good, it's well written, informative and engaging.

I feel like breathing is something that has been severely lacking personally and that many unknowingly struggle with this affliction.

Daily practice will be incorporated, and ill be sure to post some breathing techniques and a tldr here when finished.

From what I've read thus far, mastering the breath seems a game changer

They gathered two decades of data from 5,200 subjects, crunched the numbers, and discovered that the greatest indicator of life span wasn’t genetics, diet, or the amount of daily exercise, as many had suspected. It was lung capacity. - James Nestor

This knowledge provides a different frame with which to assess what aspects of ourselves we should improve. It's all good to read, pray and lift, but perhaps the first and foremost function upon which our existence depends needs to be improved and strengthened too.

I'll be posting some exercises to this channel on how you can improve your lung capacity and function soon

Self awareness is like an onion. There are multiple layers to it. The more you peel back, the more you’ll gain new insights on yourself. By exploring the different facets of your personality, you’ll begin to realize your one true face from the various masks you put on to function in society.

This self-knowledge is what compounds to wisdom. You’ll begin to receive direct guidance from the divine intelligence that organizes all of life itself.

Become your own sage 🥋

I've been wearing blue blockers for a good few months now.

I can say, they definitely make a positive difference.

When I wear them I can feel my eyes already relaxing which indicates that they're no longer straining.

In the morning I feel more rested and feel like I've sleep better.

This is anecdotal of course and I'm sure there are articles or studies out there which are more evidence based.

But all in all, you could certainly spend the $25 in much worse ways

You are as old as your spine - Chinese proverb

Spinal Decompression is a simple exercise from the fitness methodology called 'Foundation Training'. The goal of this exercise is to elongate the spine and create space between the vertebrae to counter our modern lifestyle and gravitation slouch which leads to poor posture, crowded internal organs, stiff joints and other issues.

I do these every single day, and once you get used to the method it is as simple as a few breaths of your time.

It has cleared up a pinched nerve in my cervical spine and gives a feeling of mobility I didn't have before, if I miss a week then I can feel my spine start to stiffen. I also do these as a warm up to mobility training as the two pair nicely with one another. It's worth a go to try and see if its effective for you.

Tune your circadian rhythm, life on earth has a foundational relationship with the light of the sun

It's incredibly important to get bright light into your eyes at the start of the day, this is what kick starts your physiological system. Inversely, getting light out of your eyes at the end of the day starts the shutdown program.

If you're on the screens late, and waking up late, your sleep cycle will shift and you will be out of tune with the circadian rhythm that is your natural ideal

Successful organisms wake up early, this could make the difference between getting food or being food in nature.

An action you can take: get 10 minutes of natural sunlight in your eyes early in the day it will have immense benefits for you

DAILY BREATHING ROUTINE

I have been following this routine for two months. In my experience it has lead to a noticeable improvement in my lung function. I also enjoy the light buzz and burst of energy in the minutes after the exercise (usually in the morning).

In relation to this post (https://news.1rj.ru/str/effortlessaction/72) the other day, here is a spinal mobility routine I do often when there is a feeling of tension through my spine and back, or I want to target that area specifically.

With some spinal conditions, I focus a lot on mobility/prehab/rehab methodologies, I've found that regular mobility routines like this helps recover form heavy training weeks and makes training more sustainable over the long term.

If you carry tension through your spine or shoulders try out something like this

Thanks for the 50 subscribers, hopefully this channel can provide some wise and useful knowledge to you going forward 🙏

Just finished this excellent mobility routine, highly recommended for those in the need of prehab or rehab. I find it helps to slightly increase the focus to mobility and deload the strength exertion every 4-6 weeks. Kinstretch is well suited to this purpose for me.

20 minutes of spine care

Apologies for the previous vid, was too short and too larger file size

If you're the kind of person who carries tension in the shoulders or neck, or you want to feel more free and fluid in your spine movements, this short 20 minutes section is great way to start the morning or wind down your day.

Its part of a longer sequence but this sequence is a short spinal routine that can be done anywhere without equipment, to supplement any activity.
