hello cyberpunks,

i have been using paper from various fast food restaurants as rolling paper for my weed and cigars. the taste varies widely but i have come to the conclusion that chic fil a has the best rolling paper and taste when i light it up. do any of you use unusual rolling paper or smoking materials?

I've used emmett miller and steven halpern's "letting go of stress" as a "self-hypnosis" that I do regularly, usually one or two times a day, on and off for maybe 7 years. It's a regular use thing if it's to work and right now I'm in the swing of using it again.

The concept of guided imagery is related as a way to visually focus on the factors that this meditation series includes. I also want to start practicing belly breathing, or using my diaphragm to aid breathing as I was once a pack a day smoker and this can help breathing in some ways I've read that I'm not sure about. Additionally, progressive muscle relaxation is helpful. I would say it can help put my mind in sync with my body, though I'm not sure how this idea would technically be put in my case. I guess it helps me be less influenced by knee-jerk reaction, leading to a less effortful, forceful sort of experience

Finally, I'll share a series or two I've enjoyed at other times:

Freebird meditations
Dr Linda Bolle
Dr steven frucht
There's lots of this stuff on youtube. The psychologist who shared the first production I listed said it doesn't work for everyone
