    Reframing Makes You Invincible

    And read this from Quora:
    Jay Jennifer Matthews, Spiritual Ponderer (2000-present)

    This trick is the Rosetta Stone of psychological tricks.
    It’s really the skeleton key.
    If you saw the movie Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, you’ve seen it in action.
    In Beautiful Day, the beloved children’s educator Fred Rogers is interviewed by a cynical reporter.
    During an innocent chat about his life and work, the reporter observed, “It must have been hard for your kids to have had you as a father.”
    Fred Rogers was a wonderful father who zealously guarded his work/life balance before the idea was popular.
    The reporter’s fake-curious accusation was a journalistic fishing expedition - a lame attempt to get a rise out of the unstintingly compassionate Fred.
    Mr. Rogers paused for a very long time.
    Then, he thanked the reporter for his thoughtful observation.
    He told him it was so very kind of him to acknowledge the challenges of parenting.

    No one can hurt your feelings without your consent, as Epictetus said.
    No one can make you angry, disappointed, intimidated, or jealous.
    Substitute any reactive emotion.
    Whatever it is, no one can afflict you with it without your consent.
    You can choose to see things differently - this trick is called reframing.
    It’s the only one you’ll ever need.
    Mr. Rogers wasn’t using reverse-psychology or pretending to see something that wasn’t there.
    He dug deep, looked deeply, and found some insight in the reporter’s question.
    Rather than reacting to the reporter’s hostility, he ignored it and focused on the particle of compassion he saw in his heart.
    The people we interact with become how we treat them, more than we’d like to admit.

    Current MHRB batches + Wim Hof stealing my customers

    And Wim Hof Breathwork Mimosa Batch Comparisons newsletter-site-updates
    UPDATE: Further investigation has shown that all the info below might be a bit wrong. Although I am sure that harvest batches do have differences, as with human races, differences within batches/races are greater than differences between them. Every tree is unique.
    --------------


    Hey, so regarding the current batches of MHRB: Both batches have similar colors when processed with heptane. An acid/base extraction will yield the purest colors. Heat helps a lot with the NPS pulls.

    I have recently made a sort of insane discovery which is that the particular items of interest in each bag of Mimosa hostilis are different, sometimes completely different. I used to think that it was just based on harvest conditions and thus I could tell you that X harvest has this stuff and Y harvest has this stuff, but now I realize it's not totally correlated to harvest date. It seems that this species of tree has had some type of genetic instability introduced worldwide somehow starting in early 2019, which I don't understand the science of.

    Secondly, I'd like to mention that I've found tremendous therapeutic benefit from Wim Hof breathwork lately. It's a little bit challenging but it's free and more powerful than what I sell in many ways. As Hof says, you get high on your own supply. So as a result of this simple breathing technique I may be going out of business. Oh well.

    The first time I tried it, I didn't go deep enough, just felt some tingling and had a nice deep sleep. Second time I did it, a ton of emotional distress was unleashed and I was crying like a baby for an hour or something like that. Subsequent attempts have not only given me deep sleep but when I wake up, I am bathing in love as if I took a heart chakra drug. Furthermore, I had some type of infection which was starting to give me a fever, and a few minutes of this breathwork cured me. Infection came back next day, I did another few minutes of breathing and it was gone again, and still gone. Too bad the World Health Organization doesn't know about this simple cure for most illness.
