~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Hey hi hello! Welcome to the second iteration of...

~ The Toolshed ~

I decided to make a new thread, as the first one had errors and phantom pages, and was getting quite long! You can still find all the amazing pics, inspiring quotes, and uplifting messages of the first Toolshed here.

What is the Toolshed? Ain't a place to hang your hammer! Hehe this is a space where we can share the things that have helped us in our recovery. Tools, coping skills, inspiring ideas, and messages of hope and growth, is what this space is all about!!

You can stay connected and up to date on this space by favouriting, or by subscribing to the thread - head to the top of the page, and find the three dots to the right of the thread title (next to the star), click, and from the drop down menu you can 'favourite' or 'subscribe' - and clicking the star itself will also favourite the thread for you.

Favourite threads are then always available in your favourites list which should appear on the right hand side of most forums pages - or you can go to your profile and scroll down to the 'Favourites' section under your recent posts.

If you subscribe, it means that you will get a notification every time someone posts something new in the thread. So up to you if you simply want it to be always accessible, or if you want all the updates, or both!

I invite anyone who wishes to contribute to do so! It doesn't have to be pictures, it can be discussion, questions, videos, whatever you like! So without further ado, here's my latest batch!

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Hello @MissGremlin found the perfect crystal cure for how I'm feeling today. Am so much better. Life just keeps throwing us curveballs! Still keeping an eye on toes. Showered, washed them, dried them with tissues and applied cream. I am now listening to Rife sound frequencies for tinea again. May just have a restful day today, dont feel like doing much. Read some suggested articles from some online magazines yesterday. Stumbled upon some good information. One from a hermetic school that teaches you how to balance all the elements in yourself and do something called pore breathwork to bring in positive energy. I had to laugh. Who does pore breathwork? I guess I will be doing it lol.

Hello @SmilingGecko sweet, sorry for my late reply. I'm glad things have been better today. Life definitely likes to throw curveballs. The pore breathwork sounds interesting, hoping it helps you. Hope it's been a restful day for you ❤️.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@MissGremlin Things have been good just keeping quiet and not doing much. Tackled the kitchen. Will do more tomorrow. House is a mess. Pore breathing was quite good. Used a Qigong version and the teacher on you tube said Qigong is about creating "space". We walk around in a state of contraction in various parts of our body due to stress and things going on in our lives. The pore breathing eliminates any emotional problems or distress you may be feeling. I noticed my body feeling very spacious afterwards. I think I'll do it every day, it felt that good. No more problems! I love engaging my body with energy work
