healingqueen: it has to be done in moderation like only specific moments like you said
because the transmuting that I was doing was actually a formof shielding and I did it soo much that negative energy swung back at me and overtook my experience
I have been getting a lot of guidance saying "balancing" "balance"
and I have been getting sick of the up and down rollercoaster
at such extremes like that bipolar thing
Turncoat: Transmuting is different in mindset.
Transmuting is moreso a form of change.
healingqueen: no because I was using it for every single negative emotions lol
Turncoat: Shielding and Harm Reduction are more like Fortification.
It's bolstering a defense to take on a challenge.
healingqueen: the way I was using transmuting was like a shield though
I understand how it is different in theory but the way that I was using it was as a shield
Turncoat: I feel like going through the active effort of changing the things around you has a very different feeling behind it though.
Turncoat: The mindset involved.
healingqueen: true
but so that means I was not only throwing me out of balance but stuff around me too
that probably made stuff even worse
Turncoat: Everything's always in flux, how you are now is now.
What's important imo is weathering through the bad, like resisting a sandstorm.
healingqueen: I want to be more balanced
it sounds nice
Turncoat: Balance does look nice. x_x
I've instead gone with trying to learn my patterns and having a gameplan for whatever symptoms show that day.
What works on a hyper day does not work on a downer day.
healingqueen: yeah I want to explore more into balance
Turncoat: Environment and Mindset play a lot of impact on things, through associations.
Understanding's where to start for balance, to see what needs balancing in the first place and what kinds of steps might help.
Binaural beats help some people.
Stuff like:

Smells can add up to a lot too, it's one that's easy to not think about until it's directly impacted.
Even the little noises behind certain kinds of electronics can amount to a mild grating, the spacing of your things, it all adds up to how you end up transferring over to the next moment, what is on your mind.
I have as I've gotten older tried to surround myself more with things that bring about better thoughts, to then be fortified for harder times.
Like a tether, or a bungee cord.
A way to ensure there's ways back.
healingqueen: turncoat yes I am in the process of asking for wisdom on how to balance and where
instead of minimizing pain and suffering my new intention is learning actual healing so hopefully I will have some genuinely helpful healing insights soon
Turncoat: Good luck either way, but defense is helpful.
healingqueen: because for a loong time I was mostly just trying to not be feeling horrible inside and complaining and blaming
oh no I know I agree with you about shielding but the thing is that it has to be in moderation too
everything
even the best things moderation balance
temperance it sucks though I thought that I found a way to stay in positive vibes always lol
if there were not a backlash it would in theory work
and that is how I was segwayed into focusing on healing and balance instead of pain and suffering minimizing
Turncoat: Harm Reduction does have it's benefits.
healingqueen: segued* lol
yeah but I feel like it is all that I was focused on for my entire life
ook at my life
on sc
I will swing from one end to another
right ?
I am off balanced af
Turncoat: I would agree balance is definitely off, but again mostly from an impatience.
From there a lot of other things respond like they're overstimulated, with associative coping mechanisms that fall into negative patterns.
Tethers are nice.
To avoid that I mean.
Little reminders that you know it could happen, and through that understanding try to change it as it begins again.
It's like people who snap rubber bands on their wrists during key moments.
healingqueen: I think that patience can be useful but
when you are in distress you tend to want stuff to be resolved faster
Turncoat: Yeah, when hyper is the hardest time to be patient.
Ask anyone who's done an upper, or a psychadelic, the comeup is tough.
To sit with just one thing unless hyperfocused.
healingqueen: I feel like I wasted my life trying to feel good but feeling good kept escaping me
so often
what if I had just focused on healing from the beginning
I feel like life could have been so much better
if I just had the right intentions
*is in regret*
why just why
no honestly I couldn't think clearly
