Namaste Out of It — Eternal Beach City
Added 2025-08-13 19:33:31 +0000 UTCI’ve never been much for yoga personally. I’m sure it’s very beneficial in a lot of different arenas; I just don’t have the patience for it.
It’s weird, because I have the patience for a lot of other things, but most of those other things don’t require staying still and nothing happening. Same reason I “can’t” meditate. I know, I know; you gotta accept and acknowledge it when you get distracted and then recenter yourself or whatever. I just don’t have the patience.
My mom was actually a Transcendental Meditation instructor for a good number of years. But when I was pretty young, she switched to Catholicism pretty hardcore. So, instead of learning how to calm down, I learned about Thomas Aquinas, embracing guilt and shame and that 9/11 was an inside job.
The last bit had little to do with Catholicism. She’s just also insane.

Woof, I can imagine. Talk about mixed messages and dealing with BOTH sides of the crazy spectrum.

So a bit of a mix of "If you focus your energies correctly you can see auras and blow out a candle from across the room.", but also "Magic is evil and 'As long as you live under our roof you'll go to church twice a week and practice XYZ'." Nothing could have been a stronger motivator to get out from under their roof than that.
