So, would anyone be interested in like, group yoga / tai chi / meditation sessions?

I'm thinking we all need a way to de-stress and I'd like to meet more of you.

Free sessions, obviously. Just outside somewhere when the weather's nice.

I'd like to try. I wanted to at home but never had time.

[firetouched]

Well. Now's as good a time as any, right?

[seeingscarlet]

Until the next time the world almost ends.

[firetouched]

That's a pretty common thing, I think. Or it feels like it is.

[seeingscarlet]

I thought it might be different here, but it's dragons and magic instead of aliens and robots. I'm not sure which is worse.

Do yoga and meditation really help?

[firetouched]

Dragons I know. Undead ninjas, too. Not so much robots and aliens.

Anyway. It helps if you let it. You know, you get what you give.

[seeingscarlet]

We had ghosts a few months ago, but no undead ninjas.

I have trouble quieting my thoughts. At least it can't make it worse.

I didn't hate it.

I'm still pretty interested. Especially the yoga part. You didn't tell me you did yoga.

[firetouched]

Sure. Not as much as the other two, but yoga's it's own form of meditation and recharging.

[givingback]

Then I'd like to. Meditation too, I want to keep practicing.

The first time, when you told me to relax and think of something that made me calm, it worked. I just wasn't expecting it to be what it was. Something I haven't let myself think about in a while.

switching to private

[firetouched]

I get that. A lot of what I think about is stuff that used to hurt a lot. Still does, sometimes.

Do you wanna talk about it?

[givingback]

[ Texting about it might be easier than actually saying it out loud. ]

You're sure you want to? It's not a big revelation, I don't think. Just sad. Those kinds of stories seem to be plentiful around here.

[ It's hard, opening up and being vulnerable. She may be stalling. ]

Something I've missed from home. I'd like this.

[firetouched]

Great. I'm glad at least a few people seem interested.

[smithsonian]

I'm guessing you taught back home?

[firetouched]

Me? No. Just an avid practitioner.

[smithsonian]

Good enough for me.

Is this the best use of our time?

[ serious question though it might sound snarky over text. ]

[firetouched]

I mean. No one's forcing anyone to do it if they don't want to.

[bellare]

I've just never understood how sitting quietly in a room is supposed to calm someone down.

[ it's always sounded like a personalized panic attack to frank. ]

[firetouched]

I guess it's not for everyone. I like doing it outside mostly, but I can find my zen anywhere.

[bellare]

How do you know you've found your "zen" ?

[firetouched]

It's just that moment when everything clicks. When you feel complete calm, or clarity.


Not to side track the conversation, but I have a question about your username.

[bellare]

In that case, maybe I have meditated by your definition.

Shoot. [ no pun intended?! ]

[firetouched]

Like

THE Punisher?

Like Frank Castle?

[bellare]

Last time I checked.

[firetouched]

Okay

Cool

That's cool

[bellare]

I suppose my reputation has preceded me even here?

[firetouched]

I mean. It's pretty sensational.

[bellare]

That's a word for it.

[firetouched]

People love to talk about you, man

[bellare]

I was never after fame.

I was just starting try do this, back home. A friend recommended it.

Never did a group thing, though.
