This is very much like the kneeling bench i used at the Buddhist meditation group i went to today. It was amazing that i was able to kneel without difficulty for about 45 minutes.
It made me smile a little bit to remember all the times i’ve talked about wanting to try one of these for other purposes. Well, you know, for cock worship. i didn’t think about it for long while I was meditating, because i was focusing on my breath for real. But just for a minute, i had to smile.
In other news/not news, i’m working on shifting my thinking about service to mean service to the universe as opposed to a Dom. i know, not the first time i’ve tried this, but it seems like it might be the way to go, again. i mean, if you do Myers-Briggs, i’m definitely a INFP and i need to continue to acknowledge that.
i was going to write more about that here, but think i’ll save that for another day.
Buddhist meditation group was exactly what i needed it to be, and i’m so glad. i totally want my own meditation bench now – although – if i got it for meditation, could i use the same bench for cock worship? Not that i have the opportunity to, but if i did? i think maybe i could… {wanders off pondering the possibility.}
Many of the submissives I know are INFP’s. I am. More than half the Dominants, male and female, that I have known are INTJ’s. Funny that. I need one of those benches.

Oh, cool – I have to go look at INTJ’s now… Thanks. The bench was super cool. They had to show me how to use it. 🙂

INFJ here. i have certainly had years at a time that i busied and fulfilled my need to give in service to mentoring, education, writing, tutoring, and raising children. i think the bench would be a lovely thing to have, and i still advocate for you having a small space that is only for you, that everyone respects. So you have a space to think, meditate, write, daydream. i think all of these things are valid self care needs. Oh…did you bring the “traveling candle”? i couldn’t envision how anyone meditates without a candle. Heh. i think if you can open yourself back up inside, the universe will conspire with you to bring what you need. Love, the eternal optimist who hates hope. ❤

Ooooh, now i have to go read up on INFJs! While picturing you, of course That will be fun.
Yep, I want one of the benches. Not in the budget right now, but it’ll show up there eventually. I did not take the “traveling candle” with me, they had their own, but I take it when I travel for work!!
I also agree that I need that space but don’t see it happening right now. Not today. Maybe in the next few weeks. And finally, i agree that i need to be more open to the universe, from inside. I suspect the universe always does that, and is maybe doing it right now.
Love you, jade. ❤

Yay! The whole reason I bought it was for you to have a travel candle. I know-I’m weird-but I have a hard time deeply meditating or settling intentions without a candle. Those teeny candles won’t last long but they are very reasonable. I think that I’m going there today too!! Maybe there is something you can do to create a sense of private space when you travel for work? Even if it’s doing an art journal or something instead of taking care of everything you normally do?

You may be a bit weird (you said it, not me) 🙂 but wanting a candle to meditate is not weird. It’s lovely, and just what I needed for travel. When the work is not too overwhelming, I do find some private space when I travel – but often I just use it to veg out. And maybe that’s ok too…

Vegging out is also self care, in my book. ❤
