on the subject of satori (understanding, comprehension) in zen buddhism, and trying to hold on or cling to this understanding, this spiritual awareness, this universal energy:

...the minute you grab the living thing, it’s like catching a handful of water: the harder you clutch, the faster it squirts through your fingers. There’s nothing to get hold of, because you don’t need to get hold of anything. You had it from the beginning.

Did you know strengthening your calves can be an integral part of relieving back pain?

Strengthening your calves is easy, you just need to do calf raises! No weight required, just stand with your feed shoulder width apart and stand on your tippy toes. Start with 5 calf raises when you first wake up. Increase to 10 when too ez.

Congratulations, you are now on your way to relieving back pain 💜

(I’ve had 2 spine injections, so I know how debilitating back pain can be. If you have back pain, I really do feel for you)

Starting to go to the gym can be intimidating and overwhelming. Luckily, you don't need to deal with all of that to get started and all it takes is less than 5 minutes a day.

When you first wake up, do 5 pushups and 5 squats. That's it, no weights, no nothing. You can even do the pushups on your knees if you need to build up strength. Do them everyday and once it becomes easy, and trust me it will, increase to 10.

I guarantee you will start to see and feel a difference in just 2 weeks 💜
