Having gone to a 10 day #Vipassana retreat, I recognize that the #technique gives me the #sensitivity and the tools to work on my #adhd.

1. I am aware of #anxiety popping up where I would not have noticed it, before.
2. I can observe my #focus getting twitchy because of my anxiety, trying to find #peace somewhere.
3. I can prevent it latching onto random thoughts.
4. I can redirect my focus to #consciousness, #balance and my #body.

This retrains the #compulsion into a me that I enjoy more ❤️‍🩹

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

   The next stage in the development of a desirable form of sensitiveness is sympathy. There is a purely physical sympathy: a very young child will cry because a brother or sister is crying. This, I suppose, affords the basis for the further developments.
   The two enlargements that are needed are: first, to feel sympathy even when the sufferer is not an object of special affection; secondly, to feel it when the suffering is merely known to be occurring, not sensibly present. The second of these enlargements depends mainly upon intelligence. It may only go so far as sympathy with suffering which is portrayed vividly and touchingly, as in a good novel; it may, on the other hand, go so far as to enable a man to be moved emotionally by statistics. This capacity for abstract sympathy is as rare as it is important.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Education and the Good Life, Part 1, ch. 2 “The Aims of Education” (1926)

Does anyone here know of low EMF or off grid housing in the U.S.? My friend with severe EHS urgently needs stable housing. I’m trying to help her find something workable. Even one lead would mean a lot.

Looking specifically for:
• Existing low EMF communities in the U.S.
• Developers building off grid housing
• Land share opportunities

This is for someone with severe EHS. DMs open.
