Weird body things

Step 1: believe the simulation is real.

Step 2: See a bowl of tangerines nearby and take one. The tangerine is light, but it doesn't weigh nothing.

Sometimes tangerines have a delicate citris smell, take a sniff.

Alright peel off the peel. If you've squeezed it too hard it'll spray or drip on you.

You can toss the peel away - trash-can or the garden.

Separate a wedge of tangerine - much lighter and a different shape.

Now eat it. Juicy? hopfully not too dry.

Saliva production? - the mind reacts to stimuli even when it's fantasy.

This is actually the mind/body reacting to the actions taken. This portion of the mind can't react to thoughts. It uses external stimuli (sound, touch, action) and past experience in the subconscience database, to decipher what is currently happening. Because of how this portion of the brain works it can be tricked, but it can also trick you.

Understanding this pattern may help you stop anxiety and panic attacks. When anxiety comes upon you, speak aloud, "God is in control." "God tells me not to worry." "God says be strong and courageous." "I will do what I can and God will take care of the rest." "Not my will be done, but the Lord's."

Most people will roll their back and some will buckle their knees a little. Let's call this Roll bend.

An alternative I like to do is to keep my back and hips aligned as they were when standing. Straighter really because I slouch. Let's call this Angle bend.

I think both have benefits in what muscles gets' stretched.

With Roll bend I can get much lower - it is a less targeted stretch: upper rear thigh, behind knee, and upper calf.

With Angle bend I can't get as low - it is a very targeted stretch; behind the knee.

How to: Roll Bend

Stand up straight, hands to the sky

Bring hands down in front and tuck head

Keep legs straight*

Reach down to the floor and try to keep upper body close to lower body.

This Π shape, but narrower

Hold a few seconds(≈ 5s - 10s)**

Roll back up out of the bend - hands to the sky

Bring hands out to sides and relax by sides

* Legs can be together or apart / semi-splits. Feet can be turned in or out or parallel. These changes give a slightly different stretch.

** Just a quick estimate - stretching too long or too far can hurt me.

How to: Angle bend

Stand up straight - hands on hip bones*

Feel the position of hips relative to spine and arms

Keep legs straight**

Bend forward below hip at the ball socket joints***

Keep hips still relative to spine and arms

Adjust feet spacing as needed

Hold stretch 5 to 10 seconds

* Some may not be able to feel hip bone, just try to approximate.

** Feet need to be about shoulder width apart.

In relation to the previous post about kegal stretches via breathing. When I am close to that orgasm I can deep breath - stretching my pelvic floor. The floor being stretched makes it hard for the pelvic floor to contract.

During most male orgasms the penis contracts in a pulsing fashion, but when the pelvic floor is stretched automatic contractions are circumvented.

Also known as pelvic floor exercise

But don't forget to stretch.

The way I stretch my pelvic floor muscles is through breath.

I breath in and expand my abdomen. Then I breath out, but I keep my abdomen expanded and focus on reducing my chest. I breath into my abdomen again, but this time I give a little bit of pressure by squeezing my abs and directing the the balloon of air down. Followed by breathing out from chest. This can be repeated.

I put my weight into the act that took some layers away. I was playing tag, running down the play-structure toward the ladder, I tried to land on the middle bar of the three bar ladder, It did not go as planned. Foot missed the bar completely, but my shin made contact. While the contact was low on my shin my leg was still stretch out and only briused a little. From about half way to close to the top of shin, my leg was bent and I was kind of sitting on it as I slid. The fall from there was slow, so my hands on the tan-bark was fine. The skin was raw, but not bleeding. I layed on the ground for a minute. Youth helped with water and standing up.

Advice nurse told me to apply neosporine 3 times a day and have gause over it to keep dirt and bacteria away. Also she said that if it wasn't improving after 14 days to call back. My being scared of pain I didn't wash it out right away, but I had clean jeans on, when it happened, so I was not too worried about infection.

Now it has been some time, the skin is regrowing, and my leg feels like it is getting saturated with blood from bruising. I will be okay. It has healed enough to be touched gently, but the internal bruising is still painful on and off - mostly when transitioning between sitting/laying and standing. A weird thing to relieve standing pain was to emphasis going up a step with the hurt leg, something about the angle of my foot and knee made the pain sack go away sometimes.

It's that time of year for me, pollen floating in the air. I hung my head over a trashbag, 'cause I hurt my nose w/ paper napkins and didn't want to blow anymore. I just let the snot drain from my nose - *drip drip drip ... drip* awful day.

That night was rough too, breathing through clogged sinuses not easy to get full breath.

Solution:

I started to notice when I sat up the clog would actually clear up a bit, but while sitting upright in bed the stuffing would come back quickly. I eventually put together that it was the laying to sitting motion/muscles that was relieving my sinuses. I then tried holding a half crunch, but that is exhausting quick! So I adjusted to doing just enough muscle to not raise off my back, still laying down that is. The feeling from contracting crunch muscles, a very small amount, is the sinuses in my face get pulled on.

Improvement:

Ideally the contraction is very light/gentle so as to not be exhausting. I was also able to perform this contraction while working the next day to counter allergies, in the mountains. With practice and experimenting I was able to fine tune the muscle pull - it worked best for me from deep in my abdomen.

Downside:

Unfortunately pollen can still get into eyes and throat and feel a bit scratched - like glass that was sanded by very fine sandpaper. Harder to see through the glass, but still feels smooth to touch.

CONTEXT: I've done some training to keep my penis flaccid during stroking stimulation. It has worked a bit, and will stay flaccid for about 15-30 seconds. I also am accustom to gentle grip and light touches.

Something I have noticed about the my penis' underside getting touched ever so bearly and near the penis head - that's where the nerves for pleasure are. While it's stiff those nerves are spread out. When it's flaccid those nerves gather up and gentle touches bring out immensely pleasureable sensations.

I have developed a fear in regards to waking someone up. On a train, someone asked me to wake them up at their stop, but I couldn't - that was a several years ago and I might be able to wake them up now. I also have a fear of texting or calling late at night, because they might be asleep.

I rarely reach out to health services. I do have terrible free health care (3-6 months wait for an appointment) the appointments are good though. I get muscles twitching at times, they seem to be getting more frequent, but they are also super minor (as in they don't hinder me in any way). I had a major heart malfunction (felt like half my heart stopped beating). About 4 or 5 appointments later, "heart looks and beats perfectly." So I can reach out, but I tend to leave "minor" ailments to resolve themselves. Also I don't have a primary care physician that knows me.

List of my harmful life commandments: play before work, someone else will take care of it, don't wake sleeper, don't need doctor, center of attention (people always thinking about me when they see me), you're smart and everything bores you (don't know of fun things to do), you don't deserve to know the family drama (FOMO)

I have not sought a list of helpful life commandments, but I got one - Support others (my motivation to do things).

Life commandments build a foundation for living your life and changing them can cause a lot of turmoil because a large portion of your language and thoughts are built upon those foundations.

If your - those things - are stretched out, but you don't stretch a lot anymore. When going back to stretching you might feel like you've lost a bunch of flexibility. I think this is caused by muscles losing their stretch a lot faster than the connective tissue.

I read somewhere, awhile back, that muscles can repair and elongate with stretches over a month, but the stiffer and denser connective tissue takes about nine months.

I find brushing my long hair painful - caused by knots forming in my crinkly ends. But there is hope!

Using a full sized brush I can start at the ends and work my way up - works okay, but takes long time. Also knots still hurt.

Other way to brush that's been working for me - start from low on scalp, brush till knot catches. Then grab hair between scalp and brush, pull little bits of hair up through brush. The idea is to pull hair from the knot. Eventually the brush will start to glide through again.

Often the hairs do not pull through, likely caused by grabbing both ends of the knot. Try grabbing less hairs when this happens.

An effective way for training some of that gag reflex away is with a soft toothbrush. A soft toothbrush is best for your teeth and probably safer/comfortable for throat brushing.

Read whole basic guide before practice

For this procedure all you need is toothbrush and water (note: no toothpaste). Stand up straight, tilt head back a little (≈30° up from horizon), chin gently forward (may be strenuouse), tongue forward to teeth.

Put the wet soft toothbrush on your tongue (center) and slowly brush toward throat.

When the reflex is strong remove the toothbrush and stop. At this point my mouth fills with saliva which I just send down the drain.

When the reflex is gentle pause for a moment, the reflex may subside. If reflex stays there are 3 options.

Remove, to either rest or stop

Push further, to make stronger reflex

Wiggle toothbrush side to side, to make stronger reflex. This can cause a very quick reflex, be careful.

Some warnings

Repetitive training may cause gag reflex to become more sensitive until rested.

Brushing throat is abrasive and may hurt for a few days.

End basic guide

Additional reflex training with toothbrush - try probbing off center. I found the sides of my throat to be a lot more sensitive to the brush.
