It seems like wherever you look, someone is telling you how to reduce your inflammation, from influencers on your TikTok feed or Instagram reels to even US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 🧵

去年术士在安亭路摔倒了两次,伤疤现在还刻在胳膊和手机壳上。在摔倒的过程中一度感觉时间过得很慢,总觉得有更多可以做的事情来减轻伤痛。期待在下一次摔倒前,我已经上了这珍贵一刻~推荐给大家!

It feels like I’m the Uncle Roger of Kinbaku. Whenever someone says “tension 3” or whatever I immediately have a headache and want to yell “just use feeling”.

The real violence of numbering tension happens when it replaces the moment to moment exchanges between partners.

Instead of seeing tension as a structural necessity, we may approach it as a game that enriches our rope conversations. In this workshop, we will explore how to create interesting flows in a session by internationally embracing unstable and ever-changing tensions.

我一定是被安亭路诅咒了
今天又在这里摔倒了
摔得一点都不慢
这次的觉察是 还好有手机壳
今天久违地摔倒了,在印象里除了在舞蹈和格斗中摔倒,已经很久没有在坚硬的地面上摔跤了。不过一个惊喜的觉察是,坠落是一个如此缓慢的过程。意识到自己失去平衡,意识到自己即将摔倒,看到即将碰撞的表面,感受最先与马路接触的位置,每一个过程都有时间去觉察和思考。Instead of falling from grace, one can indeed fall with grace.

I wish I knew this sooner….I get very angry at people’s chewing sounds and I try very hard to suppress them or apologise to loved ones for suddenly being frustrated. If Joel Berger’ hypothesis is supported, then my monophonic may actually help me with tying in a weird way.
Do you have intense emotional reactions to certain everyday sounds, such as other people chewing, drinking, or sniffing?

You might have a condition known as misophonia. 🧪
