Introducing it to the Kiddos
I have a meditation and a witchcraft practice that I have been doing for a while. Recently though, I have begun to be much more open about it and have even been shareing my practice with my sister and neice and teaching them things about magick, paganism, and spirituality in general. They both enjoy it a lot! My neice is obsessed with it actually 😂 But I've never really been in the position to teach this stuff before, especially a school aged child. So I'm curious to the people who have or have their own children involved, what kinds of activities you had them do, included them in, what ideas to introduce them too first sort of a thing.

@Liam Peterson It's what she is personally interested in, asks me about all the time, and something lots of people are raised into. Witchcraft involves an incredible amount of prayer, meditation, and it's all about going deeper within the self, bringing yourself closer to god, and stepping into your highest potential and reality. If your witchcraft does not involve prayer, meditation, positivity, self improvement at the focus of it, then you're not doing it right. It's just not something I was raised into, I was raised into an agnostic household that, if anything, kind of discouraged spirituality so I had to figure it all out on my own as an adult, and therefore don't really have a frame of reference for showing a kid. But I'm not focusing specifically on magick with this post, I only breifly mentioned. I'm just curious how people bring spirituality to children and what activities they include their kids in.

@Liam Peterson No worries. I think people have this idea in there head of witchcraft/magick from pop culture and from fear of the unknown that really scews what it actually is. It is just really unfortunate honestly.

Breakthrough!
One thing I realized today in deep self-inquiry: People who are fighting with OCD, rumination, or any kind of mental health issues associated with thoughts — if anyone is engaged in fighting with thoughts and never able to rise above it, or getting frustrated by repetitive thoughts and loud mind chatter, use this idea over any methods or techniques you could possibly apply. When any thought disturbs you and makes you feel frustrated during meditation or non-meditation — just become that thought itself. Acknowledge the fact that you are that thought, and that the thought is not different from you, instead of fighting with it and creating duality. Go beyond the duality and merge with that thought to become one. When you create non-duality, you are free from thoughts — because thoughts exist only when there is duality, and the ego, with its full power, tries to separate the self from thoughts, which creates resistance. Use the same ego to acknowledge the thought, to be it itself, and gain insights from that non-duality. By doing so, you are free from controlling, observing, labeling, and resistance. I know a few of you are aware of this — but if anyone hasn't come across this idea, just cultivate it.

Based on my therapy and experience with OCD, this is not the way to go. The thing about OCD and rumination is that having the thought makes it feel so real, the what if is so strong that it may as well be true. If a person with OCD is struggling with ruminating thoughts that they might hurt someone, it feels as though they can not trust themselves because the thought feels like proof that they will hurt someone, as if they already had. And the rumination, the obsession, then leads to compulsion which is heart-breaking and sometimes even soul-crushing to get caught in. The answer is not to merge with that thought, to merge with the intrusive thought is to let it win. You must learn you ARE NOT your thoughts, and your thoughts do not speak to who you are as a person or your actual desires as a person. This is what therapy taught me, this is what my meditations have taught me. I still struggle with it, but no where like I did before. Tldr: I agree with the other people in the comments saying don't do this.

@Gigi Gastreich OCD therapy is partically exposure therapy. If your obsessive thoughts are about harming children but you have never once physically done that, part of your therapy is going to be being around children. If you are afraid of germs then part of your therapy is going be not washing you hands after touching the gas pump (just an example). You do this to learn that you are not your fear or your thoughts. For people with OCD, the painful thing is the uncertainty, its a sort of control kind of thing. The therapy also teaches you how to sit with uncertainty without panicing, without resorting to the compulsions.

Attention
Something beautiful happened this weekend. Really beautiful. There was connection, lightness, joy. And then, at the end, something heavy came up. Tears. Collapse. Silence after. It stayed in the room longer than the laughter did. And I noticed how quickly the mind wants to focus on that one hard moment, as if it suddenly defines everything that came before. I felt how easy it would be to replay it, to analyze it, to carry it around. And at the same time I saw that the whole experience was still bigger than that one crack in it. It made me realize how careful we have to be with our attention. Where it rests shapes how we remember, how we feel, how we move forward. Pain deserves space, yes. But it does not deserve the throne. Attention is quiet power. And maybe it is the only thing that is truly ours to guide.

More structure
Are any of you mystics or is this more of a casual community. I'm a mystic who's starting to bring some more structure and change into my practice, I was just wondering if anyone else here was too. No dogma, just curiosity.

You do not exist
I'm tired of playing small. I have this "little" child-like mask that I have noticed I sometimes hide behind and I'm tired of it! There is no reason to hold myself back like this, seeing the world through small rose colored glasses. My meditations are guided by my communication with my Patron and the spirits They have sent me. First They gave me "I am Peace." Then, They gave me "I am Dionysos." Well, when I asked Dionysos to help me take off this "little" mask I did not expect to be hit with "You do not exist" and a big smile on Their face. I have heard these teachings before, everything is freely on the internet. But I still had all these emotions as the message was clear in my mind, "I am not real. There is no I. I am nothing..." I was a little bummed. But I knew I was missing something to it. "If I am nothing, if nothing is real, I am everything." But after a nap and some calm being, I realized it is a two-part mantra meditation! "I am Nothing. I am Everything." Anyway, that is how I am not little or small. Because I do not exist. Thanks Bacchus. Anyway, I am in love with God and thinking about this while I procrastinate my German language studies and I wanted to share 🥰

@Stefano Minin As for the child, it is a part of me. But it is something that is meant to mature and to be grown out of 😊 I think at least. Loving your inner child but still growing up on the inside. Something like that.

@Stefano Minin Respectfully, I have no idea what you are going on about and you completely 100% lost my willingess to try and figure it out at "being tricked by indian sages". I think friend, you are either confused or misunderstanding what I am trying to say. But that is okay, we can both now just go on from here.
