This is for anyone who would like a summary of the AF website and practices.

"HAIETMOBA?" for me also includes what I am perceiving with the senses.
"Hey dude, chilax!"

from urbandictionary.com ...
Chillax
(verb)
When the two words 'chill' and 'relax' were combined a word was created: 'chillax'; a conjunction that, when used solely and didactically, can change the general mood or atmosphere of an entire room of people. 'Chillax' by itself is a powerful word, but is nothing in comparison to the sentence that was coined soon after: 'chillax to the MAX'. This sentence should be used with care as it has the power to COMPLETELY relax a room full of people.
Jen: OMG I havent revised for my EXAM OMG!
Dan: Jen....
Dan: Chillax
Jen: You're right Dan, exams are insignificant! Let's focus on our health and happiness and worry about petty bureaucracy another time.
===========================================================
Yeh so I was doing this "what am I feeling?" question over and over without knowing any reason for my tension. Then it came to me. "Striving". So I decided to let go of my striving. Back to sleep. Good.
