(Part 2) Best poetry, spoken word & interviews according to redditors

"Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice, pull down your pants and slide on the ice" is a quote from a character on MASH. It may be older, but that character is the only reference I find when I search google.

Edit: So apparently Allan Sherman did a song called Turn Back the Clock, made of a bunch of children's playground taunts. The sample on this amazon page is of the line quoted above.

Maggie and Jiggs may be a reference to this poem or the comic.

Is he the guy who made an armor suit of hickory nuts that kept Comanche arrows at bay?

Just looked it up, that is he.

I have no experience with that series, but if you like guided meditations and want to work with emotions I can recommend Break Through Difficult Emotions by Shinzen Young for unpleasant stuff. Or for more general-case emotional stuff, there's the emotion section (Feel In, as he terms it) in his practice manual.

These techniques don't involve visualization, and from what you say it sounds like these are more systematic than what you're doing, so maybe they'll be a better fit for you. There's a youtube playlist by the same guy going over some of the basic concepts here. (There's a lot of overlap between external physical sensation and emotional sensation, so most of those videos are interchangeable.)

If you can't feel certain physical sensations I'd say no big deal, just pick a different area, some other meditation object, or another technique. Physical sensations are just one option among many.

It's the weekend and you're here making it better!


I would love some earphones because mine truly suck, they're cell phone ones and don't give me the quality I need:( Or even some Vocal Lessons to prepare me!

Are you familiar with Hannibal Burress? He's got a definite Mitch style to him, while still being unique and original.

I've been finding Steven Gurgevich's hypnosis sessions really helpful. I've noticed a significant increase in my level of calmness since I've been listening to them. I've got Heal Yourself with Medical Hypnosis (general purpose; not just for medical issues) and Relax Rx.

Audible has several others and there are more on amazon in digital music. Even if the idea of hypnosis doesn't immediately appeal to you, maybe get a single session for 99¢, such as Progressive Relaxation, to see if you find it effective.

https://www.amazon.com/Progressive-Relaxation-Induction/dp/B01N5CYP0E

If you do decide to try this, I hope you find it as helpful as I do.

EDIT:

I also highly recommend Anna Wise's The High Performance Mind — an excellent set of guided meditations. And again, you can get single tracks for 99¢.

Here are a few:
Yoga With Ateeka

Yoga Sanctuary with Shiva Rea

Ones that I want to try:
The Yogi's Companion

Gentle Yoga

At Home.. A Vinyasa Yoga Practice

Jackie Kashian's last album "It's Never Going to be Bread" is fantastic. I just saw Amy Schumer live, who's really excellent, she has an album coming out in a week or so. Up & Comer Hailey Boyle is staggeringly hilarious. Also Maria Bamford, Natasha Leggero, Sarah Silverman, Tig, Morgan Murphy.

Well since you kids didn't like my oh-so-funny Troma Entertainment comment, how about this:

T'hroma is a practice, discovered by Padampa Sangye (and Machig Labdron ) of visualizing the offering of all that to which we are most attached, with special emphasis on the body.

Of modern masters, one of the most well known in recent history was Chagdud Tulku. If you get a chance, have a listen to the recordings of him practicing with his sangha.

The late Lama Tharchin Rinpoche, a friend of Chagdud Tulku and student of Dungse Rinpoche, was also a practitioner of T'hroma.

Author and lotsawa Sarah Harding wrote (or translated?) a book on the practice called, "Clarifying the Meaning"
