It is both the toughest of life’s paths and the most rewarding.

But all lead to the same place: total love and oneness.
The spiritual path, a thread:
It is both the toughest of life’s paths and the most rewarding.
All journeys are unique.
But all lead to the same place: total love and oneness.
All are a part of You.
One without the other leads to imbalance.
Recognize and nurture all aspects of You.
I’ll show you how.
Your mind is trying to process all available information to protect you.
The problem: it gets tripped up.
We live in a world of constant fear-based stimulation.
Most of modern society is designed to feed and profit off of your mind.
This is effectively what meditation is and why it’s so powerful.
Some meditators use a mantra so as to have one repetitive thing to repeat.
This helps unwind cyclical thoughts.
It breaks the mind free from it’s shackles.
It stops the churn.
Expand your knowledge (nonfiction)
Acquire wisdom (spiritual texts)
Learn new skills (music, sports, etc)
Gain exposure (documentaries)
All help strengthen and expand the mind.
Your mind is not impenetrable; it’s just as vulnerable as your body and spirit.
Don’t feed your mind junk food e.g. drama series’s, mindless videos…
Anything that keeps you caught in a loop is designed to consume you.
Don’t let it!
Our bodies are not just sacks of meat and bones.
They’re hyper intelligent and have more going on than we can imagine.
One might argue that most trauma in the body is of direct relation to the mind and spirit.
It is our physical manifestation of our spiritual state.
Yoga has been around for thousands of years.
Why has it stood the test of time?
Because of its power.
Yoga will unlock your body, which unlocks your mind and spirit.
A flexible body means flexible thoughts.
Alcohol, drugs, caffeine, pesticides.
To the body, all are toxic.
We have somehow decided that they are “ok” and normal.
I’m not sure who decided that, but count me out.
Your body wants nutrients from nature.
As fresh as possible with as few chemicals as possible.
Plants are great.
And, meat? Ask:
Are you eating an animal that bathed in fear and chemicals its whole life?
Or one that was healthy and happy?
This concept may sound unfamiliar.
Because for much of society, it is.
Since we were kids, we were told to repress our spirit and rely on the mind.
Spirit is your intuitions, feelings, emotions.
It’s your heart.
Just like your body and mind, the spirit needs to be fed!
When’s the last time you blasted music?
Danced in the rain?
Acted silly and ridiculous?
All these things feed your spirit, keeping it alive and healthy.
Repressed trauma is something we all have.
Keeping it repressed eats us on the inside.
Getting it out heals.
Meditative writing, therapy, counseling…
All help heal.
Your gut is your guide.
If something feels off, don’t ignore that feeling.
Figure out why.
To build your relationship with your spirit, start listening to it.
The more you practice, the clearer it will start communicating.

Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho
There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.
Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.
Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.
The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.

Be aware, the images the #farright are sharing in the hopes of starting a race war, are not of the SPAR employee that was punched. They\u2019re older photos of a Everton fan. Be aware of the information you\u2019re sharing and that it may be false. Always #factcheck #GeorgeNkencho pic.twitter.com/4c9w4CMk5h

There is a concerted effort in far-right Telegram groups to try and incite violence on street by targetting people for racist online abuse following the killing of George Nkencho

This follows on and is part of a misinformation campaign to polarise communities at this time.
