RIVER MEDITATION (SFW, ASMR, Sleep-Aid)
Added 2023-02-21 22:01:01 +0000 UTCHey!
I realised I hadn't done anything SFW for ages, so I hope you enjoy this ASMR relaxing meditation which has footage from a place you might recognise if you've sent me a letter and had this particular postcard in return - it's the Tutuko River in Fiordland, not far from me. π
Smooches,
π§π»πMatthew xx
Comments
Farmer and writer, Wendell Berry, on the persistence of rivers: "To a river, as to any natural force, an obstruction is merely an opportunity. For the river's nature is to flow; it is not just spatial in dimension, but temporal as well. All things must yield to the impulse of the water in time, if not today then tomorrow or in a thousand years. If its way is obstructed then it goes around the obstruction or under it or over it and, flowing past it, wears it away. Men may dam it and say that they have made a lake, but it will still be a river. It will keep its nature and bide its time, like a caged wild animal alert for the slightest opening. In time it will have its way; the dam like the ancient cliffs will be carried away piecemeal in the currents." Source: The Unforeseen Wilderness

2023-03-12 20:22:42 +0000 UTCI had a hard day today. Might be my brain readjusting to new meds, therapy and crying being draining, trying to forgive myself for napping and doing nothing all day. Then this little fuzz butt comes and decides she wants to snuggle on my boobs. As if to tell me being her mama is good enough. π₯²β€οΈ https://ibb.co/tmqcthx

2023-02-24 07:20:00 +0000 UTCAll aboard the gratitude train I guess π choo choo π Next stop: disorganised thoughts ramble! I've never had any positive sex experiences with guys. None. But, I've also never really had anyone in my life actually treat me like a person, with respect, until recently. My expectations for other people's emotional intelligence has always been hilariously low. So coming here was a pleasant surprise to have those expectations absolutely flipped on their head (the pun is always intended ππ). I'm think saying I'm here for the sexy stuff is so far from the truth. I mean, I am, and it's been a really positive time of self exploration that I was too damn terrified of before coming here. However, there is a sense of love and care that shines through the audios, and that was kind of a slap in the face to all of my expectations. My world is harsh, brutal, cruel and depressing. I don't get to have nice things (without suffering for it). But here, I can. I feel like an equal, respected. I can have those happy moment for myself, and thats enough for me. Matt, never change. You're one of a kind. You're intelligent in a way most people can only dream of, intellectually and emotionally. You're playful and funny and caring. You have such a beautiful and insightful view of the world, and it's so wonderful sharing that with you. Not just in your audios, but your storytelling and poetry too, and sharing your interests with us. Good loooord your poetry is just... *Swoons*ππ₯° I agree with Cin, I hope you have support people in your life, you deserve all the love and support the world has to offer. Keep doing what you love, it's your Tower, we're just visitors π

2023-02-24 06:29:14 +0000 UTCSuper late to the party. One more work day till vacation. I've tried to get through this twice after long days and blissfully end up sleeping soundly. So I'll just say this. I cannot help but smile that the obstacle you embraced with the last piece was precisely the bit that moved me last week and and ponder how I'm writing the pages. But then you knew that having camped of in my brain, Matthew. The sex is fun. The artistry and heart are what capture and keep me here. You're making me want to pick up both the proverbial and literal pen. Cheers to rolling, embracing, flowing, and carving our paths. πππ€

2023-02-23 14:57:02 +0000 UTCBut what's in the sea?!!? Absolutely gorgeous, Matt. The first two times I fell asleep, but the third time...ππππ "The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way." Marcus Aurelius? Like a river, the obstacles shape the way forward and make it so much more interesting. And satisfying.

2023-02-23 09:32:55 +0000 UTCi would say this is a much needed listen for me this week, but a much needed listen *in general* feels more appropriate. i tried listening last night but dozed off, so iβd say this is a success lmao. tonight, i was finally able to immerse myself in this aural paradise and i love it as much as i knew i would. your sfws are always so special; i hold onto audios like this and ferry-boat poems for many reasons - the biggest being that it brings me such comfort when i feel so βimpossibleβ. impossible to maintain, impossible to love, impossible to accept, impossible to understand, etc. i was surprised at how much this inspired me, especially the embracing obstacles bit. as someone who is overstimulated easily and has a brain that quite literally never rests (or stops seeking solutions lmao), acquainting myself with discomfort and accepting what i have no control over has been one of the harder parts of my journey. i often describe my emotions as oceanic β vast in quantity, unprecedented in magnitude, and more often than not drowns me. there's so much around me and within me that i know i can't change and yet my brain struggles to accept that, even with a multitude of therapy, treatment, and self-help. i'm sure all of this will come off a bit more depressing than i intended, but it's 2am and i honestly don't have the brains to make it sound nicer lmao. with that being said, these affirmations help me a ton. iβm glad this beauty exists and that iβll have her to listen to when my mind gets too inflexible for self-soothing. thanks for this one, lovely (and to the lot of you) ππ«π₯π

2023-02-23 06:55:47 +0000 UTCSo, my doc decided I should up my meds. To avoid the βbrain shiversβ withdrawal symptom that happen when Iβm on a high dose, I need to split my higher dose to twice a day instead of just once a day. Thatβs gonna be a pain in the ass. Being concerned over a bunch of pills has me feeling like this: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRnrK3gf/ Besides the extra attention needed to keep a regular meds schedule, Iβm hoping this will help me cope with the world and my own broken brain meat better.

2023-02-22 14:26:35 +0000 UTCI don't know why I thought listening to this before bed would be easier than this morning but I stayed awake this time (just!) *insert very tired air high-five* I don't know how it's even possible but your voice in this one feels like we're snuggled up under a blanket, just content to let the world go by. I'm not a meditation person. I know it can be amazingly therapeutic for a lot of people, but I'm not someone who is good at sitting or lying down and doing nothing. But I still resonated with this one because, like the river, I thrive in fast-paced, stressful and challenging environments. When life slows down and I'm not working or studying or running a million errands, I struggle, like a river slowing to a halt with nowhere to go. But when the river starts going downhill, when I hit the ground running, well... diamonds are made under pressure π

2023-02-22 04:31:43 +0000 UTCI might listen tonight when Iβm trying to get to sleep. Guess it was time to have a SFW audio because apparently my pussy has had enough this week. π One of those days where she says βyouβve touched me every day, what more do you want???β Time to find another coping mechanism for today I guess. π
