Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.
No advertising. No trolling. No hate. Violaters will be removed unceremoniously.

I really wonder what happens during meditation to those people without an inner monologue...
Everyone's got an inner monologue. Some are just better at articulating it.
But meditation isn't about thinking, it's about breathing. Slow, deep breaths to calm your heart and relax your muscles. The idea is to clear your mind by physically releasing stress, not to dwell on your problems by squeezing your eyes shut and catastrophizing.
nope, there are actually people who don’t have an inner monologue. they think with pictures, associations, and feelings but cannot hear themselves in their head.
Same thing as everyone else, our thoughts just take a different shape. My thoughts are pretty abstract, I have neither an inner monologue nor mind’s eye, but it’s not just total emptiness and silence when I meditate.
Having both, that sounds really unimagenly strange and alien to me... 😯
