Namaste.
i knew a woman once who was epileptic. she was in training to be able to mentally raise and lower her heart rate to alleviate symptoms of the seizures.
I don't require ancient Indian healing. My regular hobbies of playing video games and tabletop, reading and otherwise couch-potating... Potatoing? Tatering. :smilenod:
Anyhoo, those there are just fine by me.
Listen to classical music.
Mozart is best for relaxation.
Yep. Playing music, too. Learning a melody is a good way of making some hours disappear.
J.S. Bach is also good.
St Mathew Passion, St John Passion, Easter Oratorio.
Of his cantatas, many are probable lost, but many remain.
Good music was written for churches and no matter if you are an unbeliever.
As Tim Minchin put it, "some of those hymns have nice chords, but the lyrics are dodgy."
That said, Dies Irae sounds great, lyrics and all. :smilenod: (I do prefer the musically-modern-ish, yet somehow not-dissimilar O Fortuna myself, but not for the reason of less overtly-religious lyrics - or relative musical modernity for that matter.)
Faith has led to some great art - be it architecture, poetry, painting or music. But then, so have narcotics, I suppose...
Messed up on Jesus instead of narcotics. :thoughtful:
Pretty much, yeah.
Me, I'd prefer some good old-fashioned shrooms, I think, as while I detest being thusly impaired, my dislike for religious impairment is far greater.
For max chilling, I'm always down for some transcendental masturbation. :D

I mean, who isn't? :smilenod:
A good book. That is often Terry Pratchett but I've read the Discworld series 4 or 5 times now. Always on the lookout for good quality Space Opera Sci Fi.
Watching a movie or TV series; reading a good book; getting a massage; going to a sauna; having a swim; enjoying a good meal; listening to music; having a walk; drinking a good wine, beer or whisky.

Always down?
Best sport for relaxation is golf.
Before I joined here I posted on a golf forum where any mention of religion and politics was out of bounds.
Eventually I was thrown off.
So here's my golf tip for the day.
As a game of precise engineering, imagine you are delivering the ball straight and long with religion marked all over it.

Preferably, sometimes up,
if you know what I mean. :grin:
I prefer mine up.
...Even just in a generally forward-like direction might be acceptable. Pretty-much anything except crookedly-droopy-like. That would lead to a very disappointing wank, I think. :sadnod:

A stroke and distance penalty, that's harsh.
Golf used to be meditative when I was a boy, lots of walking, do people still walk the course?
Beer and episode of QI, Sandy or that guy, what was his name?
Walk around the neighborhood, drink beer, cuddle with my cat, doom scroll, lay in bed reading Ian Rankin. Still working my way through the Rebus books bc I keep falling asleep and then having to reread what I read the previous night.

Could be 2 stroke penalty these days. That's even harsher.

Of course.
QuoteBeer and episode of QI, Sandy or that guy, what was his name?
Do you mean Stephen Fry? A well known atheist.

Have you tried John Parkin's F**k It self-help books?
Must have helped to sell more hammocks.
Since my minor stroke (and it turns out is was a very minor stroke) and getting my glucose sensor I'm taking to walking a lot more. I'm very lucky to live in a very countryfied suburban area. I can walk to the local country house, get a pot tea at the cafe and then walk back. I've doubled my steps per day in the last month compared to the previous five months. On a sadder note Katie our Pugland dog is on her way out. We're into palliative care now. The vet has said that she won't see another Christmas. :'(
Walking is the only thing I know which is good for both mental and physical health.
The only price to pay is a decent pair of boots.
I prefer driving. Not quite as beneficial to the bodily whatnots, but for me at least, there is no better way to unwind.
Might listen to music while at it, or podcasts or audiobooks, or just tyre roar and the sounds of the road. Might contemplate the big questions while eating carriageway miles on driver's assists, or have some fun zipping around tight bends and back roads. Is... Nice. :smilenod:
I had favorite roads that I rode my motorcycle on, and drove my car, too. Really twisty mountain roads. I commuted long distance (last place of work was 47 miles one way, on a very busy freeway) for 15 years. That pretty much took the pleasure out of driving. I'm starting to feel the call of the open road, though. It'll only be by automobile, now. People are just too stupid dangerous for me to consider a motorcycle again, even as much as I enjoyed leaning over and cornering.
you only live once
I view it as "dead or worse". I'd rather be dead than, say, a quadriplegic.
then you make sure you ride faster
Pff. That's no guarantee of complete immolation. When the on/off switch flips, I want it latched off, not leaving the lights flickering.
...Exploded in a massive ball of fire. That works too.
I agree. When it comes to motorcycles, we also have the added problem of some roads having very deep and sharp pot holes. I got a double puncture and rim damage on my car twice in my driving "career." Had I hit one of them on a two-wheeled vehicle... There might not have been a second time, and that it might not have been for reasons other than immediate and utter death is an unpleasant thought.
Hospitalised for life by idiots, angry idiots or infrastructurally-broke municipalities... Yeah, I can think of better things to put on muh tomb stone.
theres no guarantees in life.
you can trip in the bathtub and break your neck.
you can hope to play the odds and live a safe life, free from excessive risk. dont take that trip, dont climb that tree, dont kiss that girl. something might go wrong.
and in the end, youre going to die anyway, quadraplegic or not.
i would rather be ashes than dust.
I'd rather be dead than certain kinds of alive, is my whole point. :smilenod:
then you should consider a motorcycle for transportation, because you have just summarizd my previous post.
I dream of riding a motorcycle sometimes.
dreaming is what its all about.
i have lost 16 pounds since new years in order to fit onto my motorcycle in july.

i have got my leathers on unaided for the first time since last summer. ten more to go.
if youre not dreaming, whats the point of being alive?
