It’s a new outfit for Sana, since what I originally designed for her doesn’t really fit the idea of Kuras giving the MC new clothes when they arrive in Eridia. Still awhile until we find out if that opening stays the same but it’s fun to imagine in the meantime :3

Free from the impulse to avoid, cultivate or cling. all concepts of samsara and nirvana totally vanish into the expanse of nondual wakefulness, and you remain nakedly as nondual unity, the essence of great bliss. At that time, even if the Dharmaraja, the Lord of Death, puts his hook into you and takes you away, you will not feel fear or dread.

-Padmasambhava

I went on a 10 day Vipassana meditation retreat and it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done and one of the most worthwhile (none of these photos are from the center). Things I thought over and over again:

Who are you when you’re not working, reading, teaching, scrolling, consuming? Who are you when you’re not with your partner or friends or family? Who are you without your possessions? Can you be with yourself? With the reality of this moment? Can you BEAR it?

How should we meditate upon Krishna according to Bhagwad Gita?

The Gita itself gives the answer to your question in chapter 6 entitled Dhyāna Yoga.

11. In a clean place, having established for oneself a firm seat which is neither too high nor too low, and covering it with cloth, deer-skin and kusha grass one over the other, 12. there, sitting on the seat, focusing the mind in concentration, with the thoughts and the senses restrained, 13. Holding the trunk, head and neck erect, motionless and steady, focusing [the attention] at the tip of the nose , 14. Serene and fearless, holding the mind in check and fixing the thoughts on Me, holding Me to be Supreme. So the format is to pay attention first to the posture - which should above all be comfortable and steady. The spine and head erect one then focuses on watching the breath (i.e. the tip of the nose). The breath is connected to the mind in that slow steady breathing calms the naturally turbulent mind.

So after watching the breath for a count of 100 one then practices pratyahāra - withdrawal of the mind from external attention. Every time the mind wanders away you bring it back to the breath, ignoring all data from the senses.

After one has mastered this stage (after a number of days!!) one then visualizes Krishna either in the lotus of the heart or above the head while reciting the mantra oṃ namo bhagavad vāsudevāya. Again the mind will naturally wander but every time you become aware of this wandering, bring it back to the object of meditation - the chosen form of Krishna.

This is not a weekend project but a daily practice that has to be engaged in without having any particular goal in mind (niṣkāma). Dhyāna is an integral part of Hindu spiritual practice which is a much neglected aspect of it.

If you are serious about meditation it is best to attend classes taught by the Buddhists i.e. Vipassana. Learn the basic technique from them and then add Krishna’s form and mantra.

Subsidiary practices could also include some study of Hindu Psychology and basic Vedanta philosophy to get your bearings and understand the working of the mind.

Things I have learned and forgotten again from meditation:

Nothing is worth fussing over

Given enough time and space My Body will unwind itself

My body knows what's up more than I do

Checking the clock never gives you relief, unless you're going to quit sitting

Scratching one itch always leads to another

Itches are just sensations

Sensations are fleeting an illusion; don't take them seriously

You always have time to moisturise and hydrate

Being present is the true experience of reality

There's more and I forgot them... but I'll learn them again

got rejected for vipassana because apparently if u mention u have ever felt sad or worried in ur entire life u don’t qualify for spiritual healing. apparently u have to already be a fucking spiritual guru. because that totally makes sense and doesn’t completely defeat the purpose of a meditation retreat at all. logic <3

#u really do have to lie lie lie about everything about ur self if you want to get into vipassana #that just turns me off the whole thing bc clealry it has no interest in helping ppl who need it. it’s for people who don’t need it at all #vipassana #fake Buddhist cunts

Sulla Tecnica Vipassana - S. N. Goenka

La tecnica vipassana è un metodo di meditazione che si basa sull’osservazione di sé stessi, per vedere le cose come sono veramente e liberarsi dalla sofferenza. È una tecnica antica, insegnata dal Buddha più di 2500 anni fa, ma non è legata a nessuna religione o credo. È una tecnica universale, praticabile da tutti, che conduce alla purificazione della mente e alla pace interiore. Per praticare…

Sana… sweet little Vipassana….

Sooo my Arcana (and by extension I guess Touchstarved) fan blog @sad-arcana-au got flagged as explicit and since I haven’t gotten any kind of response on my appeal in weeks, I’m gonna guess it’s a lost cause. So I’ll be posting all my fan art here to my main art account and reblogging it from here!

Anyway today my private discord group gave her the nickname of “little dumpling” which is so fitting. She’s just small and soft and wants to be loved 🥺

She’s gonna get taken advantage of so bad lmao

"Use your body as your teacher, -and if you make mindfulness an ongoing practice at work and in your home life, it will continue to serve you. But body awareness is not an aspirin you take for pain relief. It is a practice that frees your mind from suffering, regardless of conditions.”

Rest in the natural state of pure awareness.

Don't let the ordinary mind contrive and spoil it, but release everything, spacious and even. Don't follow rising thoughts; leave them be. Let whatever appears unfold and naturally liberate itself.

~ Jamyang Khyentse Chokyi Lodro offered these words of advice to his spiritual consort, Khandro Tsering Chodron.

The Eternal Now

“Sometimes the mind wanders in the past, sometimes in the future. It never stays in the present. But one has to live in the present, not in the past. The past moment is gone forever. One cannot bring back that moment in return for all the wealth in the world. Similarly, one cannot live in the future. When the future becomes the present, only then can one live in it. So one can live neither in the past nor in the future. One has to live in the present, and yet, the mind constantly tries to escape into a past or future that is unattainable. One has not learned how to live; one has not learned the art of living. Life can be really lived only in the present.” ― S. N. Goenka (2012). “Meditation Now: Inner Peace through Inner Wisdom”, p.69, Pariyatti Publishing https://www.saraniya.com/books/meditation/SN_Goenka-Meditatio_Now.pdf

so many things have been happening since I returned and I should do a proper post but basically — I’m back from Vipassana and I truly have been so joyful. my days during my vow of silence were intense, but the purging I did in those mountains gifted me the answers I was seeking. it’s a gift and along with that life is steady and slow but gloriously sweet.

last night I had a dear friend over for dinner who I haven’t seen since I left. a bottle of white wine and all of my favorite Peruvian dishes filled my living room. we talked for hours, laughed, reminisced and basked in the sweetness of being in each other’s presence. and I couldn’t help but think …. thank goodness I keep giving life every ounce of hopefulness because it truly keeps delivering goodness every time I hold on for dear life.

I also went on my longest run since February which brings another level of gratitude but for now, I’m settling in. I will be in the arms of my family soon so it’s winding down before I jet. and I have a few babies to deliver before I go…I am truly the luckiest human. will share photos of the joy brewing over here later for now, I’m counting my joys and falling deeply into gratitude that the darkness of the last few months has left without a trace.
