I cannot think of a catchy introduction, so just a little snippet:

'Because the natural essence of brain is potential, not a rigid set, and so we shape that potential into relative rigidness through experience and association.'

And the Remedy

The Politics of Our Psychological and Emotional Wellbeing.

There is no one who is unaffected.

For anyone but, more importantly, for those in the ‘wellbeing space’

I published this article a while ago, but, today, I updated it with a sprinkle of HOPE, and I thought it is important to share this update.

A couple of extracts from the update:

'The reason for this update on this old piece is that, since I felt so untethered by the then-recent acceptance of the fact that there is no feeling of safety to be found in the institutions around us, I have found safety in something much closer to home. Not necessarily geographically but feeling-wise.'

'I found that because I opened myself up to it. It has always been there but, while I fancied myself separate and believing in ‘everyone’s there for themselves’, I had no way of seeing that which was around me.'

With a fresh sprinkle of hope

Last week, I shared my musings on Substack about if and how breathwork could, in theory, reduce bodily inflammation. I shared the same article in this new platform I've been put onto, PUB-lish. I'm still figuring it out but there's something that I cannot quite fully put my finger on yet that is I like about it. Somehow, it feels less demanding than most. I don't know; just my initial observation. Early days yet.

*

Yesterday, one of the tens and tens of marketing emails that I get daily (I ought to take the time to unsubscribe from some), I received one from one of breathwork facilitator training providers, where the title of the email read somewhere along the lines of, 'Get paid for getting people high.'

I deleted it.

While I'm all for cognitive liberty and bodily sovereignty and, often, having fun in the process, I also think that, given how powerful high-ventilation (HV) breathwork can be, the physiology of HV breathwork and the sometimes unpredictable nature of the experience which may need to be tended to, it is irresponsible and maybe even unethical to make light of it with titles to the effect of 'Get paid for getting people high.' Or maybe it's just me, being too serious and too breathwork-prudish.

But, through my training, my personal experience and holding space for my clients' experiences, I've grown to really appreciate the power of this practice, be it standalone or as a part of a broader exploration of the self, and respect it.

Therefore, I was prompted to follow up my previous musings with some information of breathwork safety.

I published it on that new platform I describe above.

Also, if you visit it as a result of this post and like the experience of the platform, below is my personal link you can use to sign up to it. Of course, you can sign up to it without using this link, but it somehow automatically connects us if you sign up via this link.

The other day, I wrote about my ponderings on whether and, if so, through what mechanisms breathwork could potentially reduce inflammation (if curious, see here: https://www.pub-lish.com/en/read/fe0e668d-2fd2-4d2f-8733-e347d1563d54).

For as long as I feel like writing about magic, I know I'll be living the life worth living.

A little something on magic and awe.

To break up, even if for a moment, the swarms of thoughts that get our mind entangled within itself.

I find myself using the word ‘magic’ to describe how some things feel for me more and more. It probably sounds trivial to some and goes right over their head, and exaggerated to others, potentially jarring them somewhat. However, despite my anticipated (or maybe projected, I… · A piece by Lin...

As the world continues to crank up the pressure we all are under, whether explicitly noticed in real-time or not, I updated something I shared some month ago.

May it will be of help. Or at least a perspective to consider.

Updated edition, since the world continues to turn the hostility and inhospitability levels up

I have been sitting on this since the last weekend, when a commentary post on a publication about psiloc*bin-assisted therapy for PTSD rubbed me the wrong way.

I don't usually comment - not in writing, anyway - on commentaries, but this one really poked me.

So I wrote my own commentary on the commentary.

Also, I'd argue that, while the critique I offer here relates to a specific commentary in a relatively specialist field of study, it is also relevant in a much broader sense and applicable to many 'science to public' funnels.

Yesterday, I went to 'Studying the Human Brain' symposium at the University of Exeter and, set off by one of the talks on how inflammation is observed in depression, I went down a rabbit hole.

I share it below with those who's curious.

I wrote something on the other platform. It would've fitted here, too, but I wanted to lay out the pictures the way I wanted to lay them out, and so I opted for over there.

[a little extract]

'On those days when I catch myself allowing the machines steal me from myself and the acute awareness of the extent of it and of the limited days I have hits me, I cry.

Not because I have limited days but because I am complicit in the machines stealing me from me.'

At the end of the article, I also share an idea of how we can equip ourselves to fight back.

And it's not the jobs that are the worst of it

Many who come across my content will have experienced that it’s hard to tell what I am about. At least in the ‘neat’ way. Mostly, because I am about very many things. I care about very many various things and I cannot help myself but talk about them which may seem like I’m jumping from topic to topic, hence, making it hard to pin down what it is that I’m about.

But I’m growing out of making apologies for it; I’m growing out of making apologies for refusing to extract ‘neat, actionable bullet points’ from everything that I strive to stand for. After all, I want to change the world, so trying to fit into it as it is today would be incongruous.

Having said that, I appreciate that my struggle to communicate clearer what it is that I’m about helps neither the reader occasionally exposed to my content nor my cause. Therefore, I cannot quite convey how grateful I am to the beautiful team of humans at The Real Edits for helping me put in one place all those things I usually struggle to communicate. Not only did they find a way to sift through the unfiltered stream of consciousness I gave them in answers to their questions, but they also found the way to communicate it clearly while preserving the soul.

A huge shout out and a thank you to the whole team at The Real Edits for your patience with me and for the clarity you brought me during this process. It is greatly appreciated. It was a wholesome experience.
