am currently in the process of noticing to be mindful of my body sensation and therefore mindset/happiness

alexander technique thing that started to click

the gulf between word-description and actual somatic perception is obscene. insane. beyond, well, description

things are bad for a serious reason. you notice buzzing and lack of sensory perception and thoughts repeating through your head and a fast heartrate

you "touch" the world sensorily and suddenly the experience flips and things are good now

this is dark, dark magic

if you asked me about this at any point in my life, depending when i wouldve thought i could do this instinctually, or had just learned it, or had optimized it

but i could not do the actual thing i can now any of those times

what will the future be like

im also suspicious of people who describe themselves as being able to do things like this because most of them were obviously full of it

but im increasingly fascinated by select people who are very, very good at handling their moods
