I'm reading a book about cities from Ancient Greece and Italy. What's surprising is that almost all of them went back and forth between aristocracy ruling and democracy. The aristocracy is almost always the rich people that continue to get richer, at which point there's a revolution into democracy where the people take the property and distribute it more "fairly." A new class of rich people emerges which then becomes the aristocracy and the whole cycle begins again.

It's no wonder that before the American Revolution, most people had a very bad impression of democracy. It was almost always something like socialism/communism driven by envy.

I spent 1 year learning Chinese, and I think this year I want to spend a year learning Korean

In the last week the US government has:

- Sent money to Israel and Lebanon (funding two sides of a war)

- Neglected to provide material help to Appalachia in the aftermath of Helene

- Admitted that they’ve been poisoning the public with fluoride for decades

They hate you.

Yeah, sadly it looks like that none are available to try where I'm from.

Looks interesting, have to try it out if I can find one somewhere.

Looks awesome, does it rotate afterwards?

Yeah, that surprised me too. Isn't Notion, just a work-type, task manager or something?

I'm going to tell my grandchildren that nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m used to 🫂 everyone that joined nostr when I got here

Not your keys, not your data.

Not your relays, not your voice.

Completely agree. I’m in school to become a psychotherapist, so everything you mentioned are tools I’m aware of, will leverage in clinical work, and practice many of them personally.

In my work specializing in women’s health & trauma, I view breathwork as the most powerful holistic healing modality to heal. But it’s all about whatever works for the individual, there’s no one size fits all model to healing. 🩵

I agree breathwork is awesome and help us heal us... Yet it's not the ultimate tool.

I've fallen into this trap many times myself. I though "wow, if everyone just did this, they'd heal" or whatever.

There are many tools for freedom. Meditation, breathwork, authentic relating, yoga, martial arts, somatic work, tantra, TRE and many many others...

Depending on what you need at the moment & it will change.

Bubbling up this post I wrote a few months ago. You might notice that I put breathwork on par with Nostr and Bitcoin as it relates to potential for societal impact. I’m sure many of you will disagree with me. Please do. That’s why we’re here.

I believe breathwork is revolutionary in that, like Nostr and Bitcoin, it’s a freedom tool.

Connecting with our breath allows us to exit the matrix of suffering and small mindedness bred from chronic stress & fight or flight functioning. It serves as a vessel to unrealized expansiveness, creativity, and safety in our bodies. Breathwork created inside-out transformations. Although the science is sound, I often refer to it as magic.

Without breathwork, I wouldn’t be on Nostr fighting for a healthier society. I would still be hiding from the world. That alone is enough to convince me of its power.
