African Elephant: Freedom Is In Your Bodymind, Loving Bliss 'Switch,' Relaxation Response

Freedom is in your bodymind, but finding this 'freedom' isn't often obvious, in my experience {after social & political freedoms are attained societally}.

For comparison's sake, ingest ecstasy (MDMA) and experience 'loving bliss,' ~ but I haven't yet found a correlated neurophysiological "switch" for freedom {although music leading to specific 'flow' experiences, as well as engaging 'counterculture,' ('tuning in, turning on, dropping out'? hippie 'thinking') can come close for me}.

The relaxation response is a beginning ~ relaxationresponse.org/steps ~ and leads to kinds of freedom, in my experience, but this isn't necessarily rich, rollicking freedom, or subtle, sublime, loving, neural, delicious ongoing 'flow.'


*

Engaging language skillfully, and with awareness, can also create freedom, as can the present ~ now.

{And I privilege thinking our ways to freedom, over not thinking}.


Harbin soon ...
