Urban Shamanism

Time to enjoy the holidays!

My recovery process goes well. Yesterday the dentist removed the stitches and cleaned the hole on my right side, informing me that I'm doing better than most. That gave me the confidence that I needed and considerably improved my spirits in comparison to Tuesday, when I woke up confused and a bit despondent; I tried to pull the Runes as usual but I met huge resistance which vanished when I decided not to do the Runes. That was a clear sign for me that it was time to take a break from the Runic Service once more and also review my approach to this platform. I don't know how long I'll take to return to the Runes this time, but I know that I have to give myself at least these last few days of 2021 to rest. As I've explained in other posts, handling Runes consumes quite a bit of energy and, although I can manage without issue most of the times, the tooth extraction and other elements make their own demands. I've been ensconced at home for this period and I need to go out, if only to take walks and breathe the air.

I've also decided to make a powerdown for the first time in months. I've avoided these because I wanted to grow my voting power, but I realized that having those funds retained in my account is doing nothing to promote the flow of abundance. Money has to move in order to increase and since my extraction, I'm left with only a small amount of liquid assets to help at home and also get things that I need. It's been amazing to realize how well I've done without ever touching my HP, thanks in no small part to the generosity of people I've met here, but now I truly have to use the resources that I've gathered here and allow new energy to come my way, such is the nature of my practice after all.

As for the new approach to the platform, I'm thinking on expanding to other communities and talking about a broader variety of topics that I've only mentioned in passing in one or two posts, such as cryptos, finances, social life; I may even reactivate international news to comment on them. I also want to return to my Dune Analyses with the benefit of the drawing tablet to create the concept art, and I can now talk about Villeneuve's film with propriety, having watched it a few times; I already watched Matrix Resurrections too and it's an ideal topic to delve into here, as well as Netflix's Arcane, a magnificent show that I deem personally important in some as-yet inexplicable manner. Finally, all of my content has been in English for a long time and I think the moment has come for me to start writing in Spanish again. Lots of changes indeed!

Christmas Eve is just around the corner and this is the present that I give to myself: Respite, a different direction, a new vision in preparation for 2022, a year full of possibilities for me! Here are some of the things that I've been doing with my new tablet, by the way, hope you like them!
