Important Acupressure Points: Lung 7
Intro
There are many acupoints, but not all are easy to apply, both medically, but also mechanically. Here we discuss points which are great for the average person to memorize and use on themselves as needed.

Description
Stimulating and opening the lungs, this point is great for the expulsion of pathogens. As energy is driven up and out of the body, this helps clear the head, throat, and nose, as well as move immune energy across the body (Penner, 2017).
During times of cold or wind, our lungs are stressed and therefore upper respiratory illness manifests as a result of this exposure to the elements. By pushing this point and directing energy towards the immune processes, Lung 7 “treats first signs of cold/flu” (Schurtz, 2022).
As getting sick disturbs not just our normal day, but also meditations and other spiritual activities, there is quite the benefit in using this point in a preventative manner. I use it often, usually right when I feel a tickle in my throat or slight congestion.
Due to the lung's influence on water in the body, this point also opens water channels, also dispersing solid matter such as phlegm, even tumors (Penner, 2017). Here we see a great example of the air element's functions within the body.
Key Benefits (Penner, 2017)
How to Use
Use your thumb to hold the Lung 7 point on the opposite wrist, found proximal to the styloid process of radius (bump in wrist). You should feel a small notch, indicating the point (Schurtz, 2022). See the picture for a technique on how to find it.
As always, your placement does not need to be exact, as long as part of your finger(s) touch the general area. Press with a comfortable pressure for 10-15 minutes, using your awareness to judge the influence on your body.

It's time for JoS to enlighten all of humanity, let's go to arms and do our part today and for all days to come, to make this happen!
Movie about Europeans vs Rapefugees:
Анастасія Слуцкая (Anastasiya Slutskaya, aka Princess Slutskaya) - Belarusian movie about abrahamist sub-human invasion and attempted genocide of the White Rus people ("Bela-Rus" means White Rus -> Bela = White, and is also the Romance root word for "Beautiful"). No idea what they're talking or find subtitles, but the storyline is pretty simple and straightforward so anyone can understand, regardless. There's also some pampering to christardanity, but it is within this historical context, and the movie is very friendly to Pagans depicting them as loyal warriors who helped Anastasiya with medicinal witchcraft and fighting against the invaders. It is also a bit NSFW, so be warned.
Also an interesting fact about the very popular Rus name Anastasiya, and its relation with Satan's name and titles:
ancient-forums.com
Summary:
"Early 16th century. Hordes of Crimean Tatars attack the lands of White Russia, which are part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. With quick raids the Krymchak cavalry reaches all Belarusian cities without exception. The conquerors take by storm the fortress, plunder, drive the population into slavery, leaving behind ashes. It seems that nothing can stop their onslaught. But on the way of the Crimean Tatars' troops, among the few who have not yet been defeated, a brave squad and brave residents of the city of Slutsk stand up, the defense of which after the death of her husband is led by Princess Anastasia - After the death of her husband, she stood at the head of the squad on the path of hordes of conquerors."
History repeating itself...
"As long as there have been men on the earth, the struggle between man and the underman will be the historic rule; As far back as we can look, the Jewish-led struggle against mankind is part of the natural course of life on our planet. One can be assured that with complete certainty that this struggle for life and death is just as much a law of nature as is the struggle of a pestilent bacillus struggles against a healthy body.
Light and Darkness are eternal enemies, in the same way that night opposes the day - and the greatest enemy of earth's dominant species is man himself. The underman is a biologically complete creation of nature, with hands, legs, the semblance of a brain, eyes, and a mouth. Although it has similar features, this terrible creature is only partly human, and is spiritually and psychologically lower than any animal. Inside this being lies a cruel chaos of wild, uninhibited passions, a desire for nameless destruction, the most primitive desires and naked vulgarity. An Underman- nothingelse! Because everything which has a human face, is not the same.Woe to him who forgets this! Man has conceived, created, completed, contemplated and invented great works, thoughts and art on this earth. For him, there was only one goal: to expand upwards towards a higher existence, to replace the inadequate with something better. And in this way, culture is grown. Thus the plow, the tool and the house were created.
He seeks self-preservation in the swamp, in hell; but never in the sun. And this underworld of Undermen found their leader: the eternal Jew! Thy understand and know what they want. They press forward their lowest lusts and desires and unleash horror on humanity. It all began in historical times with the destruction of the Persians, with the Festival of Purim, the first glorification of organized mass murder. 75000 Aryan Persians fell victim to this Jewish hatred. To this day, Jewry celebrates this horror as their greatest "religious" festival. The Underman's hate against all bearers of light is eternal. The desert eternally threatens to bring about the downfall of the West. In the distant steppes, the forces of destruction are eternally clustered together: Attila and Genghis Khan gathered his Huns hordes and raced over Europe, leaving behind a living apocalypse, fire, death, rape, murder and terror, which sank back into the original precipice all light, thousandfold accumulated know ledge, and the powers of progress and human greatness."

A Secret About Satan's Name : Satan Is God
Father Satan, will soon rise in the future as the undisputed Truth of mankind. In the end of this, it will look very obvious, but currently, we are exiting an era of atrocity and lies done against Satan. The very name "Satan", who jewish researchers and Zionist worthless souls decided to...

Yoga Tips:
For all asanas, keep distance between your limbs comfortable for you. Recognize that your individual body is your own and you might need more or less distance between your feet, etc.
Never push yourself beyond your comfort. Always modify for your body if needed.
Always keep your core engaged (do not let your belly hang) unless otherwise stated.
(This post is a work in progress and will be updated along the way, and then transferred to the JoS when complete.)

Yoga Asana of the Day: Virabhadrasana II (Warrior 2)
Illustration by @Ardgion
Standing in Mountain Pose, spread your feet approximately 4 feet (48 inches) apart to the sides, arms straight out at shoulder height, palms facing down. Turn the right foot 90 degrees to the right, and left foot slightly to the right. (Alternatively, you can begin from Mountain Pose by stepping the left foot back by 4 feet and turning the left foot slightly outwards, keep the right foot where it is.) Keep your entire left leg engaged and knee tightened. Inhale, and on the exhale bend the right knee so the thigh is parallel to the floor, forming a right angle from your thigh to your shin. Do not bring your right knee in front of the toes, keep it above the heel.
Keep your arms straight as in the illustration, feel a stretch across the shoulders and chest. Face your right palm. Keep your shoulders in line with your hips and fully open. Feel strength in your hips, and a balance of your shoulders being above your hips. Keep your core engaged. Remain in this pose for up to 30 seconds with deep breathing.
To do the other side: From the above, straighten your right leg, pivot on your feet so your left leg is now in front yet your chest is still facing the same direction; repeat all instructions for the left side. To finish, relax your arms, straighten your legs and return to Mountain Pose.
Benefits: This pose strengthens the legs and prevents/treats leg cramps. It is relieving for the back.

I just found out who my Guardian Demon is and perform a community blessing ritual for JoS. I hope every one of us will get blessed by it. <3
Zorlu bir yol içerisindeyiz. Kimi zaman Yggdrasil'de baş aşşağı asılmak, kimi zaman bir gözünü feda etmeyi gerektiren bir yoldayız. Kimi zaman ise sadece oturup kendini dinlemenin mucizeler yaratabileceği bir yol...
Şeytan, bu yolda ki tek dostumuz, Ana Tanrıça'nın Adını, Baba Tanrı'nın Mızrağını taşıyan o yüce Şeytan, o kutlu Şeytan,
Düşmanın bahçesinde vermiş olduğun sözü tutacağız, keza tek güvencem o...

Yeller esiyor şimdi ruhumun karanlığından,
Zifiri gecenin ardından tüm parlaklığıyla göklerin arasından ışıldayan güneş gibi
Bu dünyanın değil, evrenin güneşi gibi yıldızlarımı ısıtıyorsun.
Gökyüzünün değil, kaderimin yıldızlarını Isıtıyorsun.
İşte senin eline sunuyorum
Güvenle tanrısallığına duyduğum hayranlık ile
Yeni yaratılmış bir ruh temizliğinde
Ruhumun en saf parçasından sana bakıyorum Anubis.
Çağrıma cevap veriyorsun,
Yüzyıllar arasından, zamanla güçlenen bakışlarınla bana cevap veriyorsun.
Müzikler ve çanlar senin için çalıyor.
Hep ayakta duracak heykeller senin için yapılıyor.

I have found that in these times when almost no music talent is to be seen I prefer to listen to game music and OST.
One theme song that got stuck with me when I used to play games before is from game Warframe called "To Take Away It's Pain" or "Smiles From Juran"
Quick short story while you listen to it: It is about Umbra who spied on evil villian Ballas and in the end Ballas infested him, tortured him, turned him into a waframe (bio-metal exoskeletons controlled by Operators) and made him kill his own son. You as a Operator try and connect with Umbra.
It is a very short theme song but it is really beautiful, it start with the string instrument as Umbra grieves and suffers from all the pain and torture it has endured and then the second part is where he connects with Operator who helps him to "take away its pain."
"And it was not their force of will — not their Void devilry — not their alien darkness... it was something else. It was that somehow, from within the derelict-horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly, broken thing — and take away its pain." Ballas
Unfortunately I couldn't find the name of the string instrument, it is so calming.
If someone here plays games sometimes, I would highly recommend checking out Warframe and the "Sacrifice" quest.

Oh Father, come to me!
In this season of lust, we call for thee!
Hear and follow us till dawn,
Watch us dancing in the woods all alone honoring Arawn!
Oh Father Satan hear me,
I call for thy name, listen me...
In this season of lust, we call for thee!
Hear and follow us till dawn,
Watch us dancing in the woods all alone honoring Arawn!
Oh Father Satan hear me,
I call for thy name, listen me...
Every SS is a Creator 
There is a real Creator in every SS, an Artist of his destiny, a blacksmith of his happiness, so take a brush, soak it into your inner world and draw in the outer world!
There is a lot of dirt in the existing world and it is important in this world to remove dirt as carefully as you clean your shoes!
If you do something, do it beautifully, do it with your soul!
What is the true Aristocracy, the true Greatness? What does it mean to be an Aristocrat?
In short, when you eat, you should enjoy eating, you should feel the taste and enjoy it, and so do it in everything!
Effectiveness, Result - this is exactly what determines your success!
What do you want most from the material world? I want to receive everything that I really love and that is really dear to me!
Why do the lower forms of life (Jews and Gypsies) despise Übermensch, Zarathustra wondered, and he realized that dirt cannot become purity, dirt can only be cleaned until it disappears!
Am I a punisher? Am I a bad person? Am I angry? No, I know that I want to see the beauty of this world (without dirt!!!), I know that I am a good person, I know that I am not evil, although sometimes I am annoyed by external circumstances, I know that I am firm and coping when necessary, but at the same time I know that I am very affectionate and gentle (when with my girlfriend), I love plants and animals!
Hail Satan!

These past days have been quite tough, but I actually found an opportunity to grow in the midst of it all.
Now I am one step closer towards freedom.
And by freedom I do not mean financial freedom or any type of freedom. But the freedom where you can freely act no matter your situation or circumstances, no matter how hard is it, you are free.
No matter if you are in a society where freedom is only resembled by your financial state, you are free.
This is my current definition of freedom, the ability to be free anywhere, anytime, anyhow.
Don't let society shackle you. The freedom is within yourself and nobody but you can embody it.

Yoga Asana of the day: Urdhva Mukha Svanasana (Upward Facing Dog)
Illustration by @Heather (click to enlarge)
Begin lying on stomach. Feet are about one foot apart with toes pointing straight back. Place your palms on each side of your waist with fingers pointing forward (to your head). Inhale and raise your head and torso like you are going into cobra pose, but also raise your pelvis and thighs, keeping your knees off the floor. Keep your glutes and legs engaged, your weight will be on your hands and toes (the tops of your toes which are pressing into the floor, as shown in the illustration above). Press your chest forwards.
Feel a stretch through your chest, abdominals, and entire legs. Have your head back at a comfortable position for you. Your arms will be fully engaged to support your weight. Stay in this pose as long as comfortable, breathing deeply.
To release, bend your elbows and relax your legs then your torso onto the floor.
Benefits: This pose is very healthy for the spine and back, and treats sciatica and lumbago. The lungs are expanded, and blood circulation is brought to the pelvic region.

This forum seriously resembles Facebook in the system of likes and tral la la.
The bravest thing I've ever done is choosing to stay alive at all the times I wanted to die.
Always keep in mind that every day gets brighter and better as long as you work to improve upon them.
Thank you community for getting me back on track.

Yoga Asana of the day: Prasarita Padottanasana
Illustration by @Rroco88 (click to enlarge)
Stand with your feet between 4-5 feet apart, at a comfortable width for you. Inhale, place hands on waist and stretch your chest up. Exhale as you lean forward at the hips and lower your torso and head, place your hands on the floor in front of you for balance only, keep your weight entirely on your feet. Inhale, keeping hands on the floor, straighten your back and lift your chest and shoulders up to make your lower back concave; exhale and lean forward and down again, hinging at your hips. If your head is able to touch the floor, do not place bodyweight on it; keep your weight entirely on your feet.
You can remain with your palms on the floor, but if possible, hook your pointer and middle fingers and thumbs around the big toe of the corresponding foot, as shown in the illustration. Gently draw your elbows out to deepen the pose. Do not clench your glutes, but keep your thighs activated and drawing together.
Benefits: The hamstrings receive a nice stretch and the hips are open. Blood can circulate to the head, so this is beneficial for those who cannot yet perform headstand or handstand. This pose helps to increase balance.

Yoga Asana of the Day: Parsvottanasana (Pyramid Pose)
Illustration by @Ardgion (click to enlarge)
Begin standing in Mountain Pose (just standing, feet together). Roll your shoulders back, keep them relaxed yet shoulder blades close together, down from the neck (not hunched up). Bring your elbows back and if possible, press your palms together in prayer mudra behind your back. If this is not possible, then simply hold your hands together behind your back.
Step the left leg back, about 1 meter behind you. The left foot can point out slightly at a comfortable angle for you. Keep both knees activated. Inhale, make sure your shoulders and arms are in correct position, exhale and lean forwards over your right leg. If you have the flexibility you can lower your head to your knee or shin, and remain like this for as long as comfortable; if you are newer to this pose, you can now relax your arms and touch the floor with your hands (or place your hands on your leg for support), enjoying the stretch in your front hamstring.
To release, raise up by using your leg muscles firmly, step your left leg forward to meet the right, and repeat on the opposite side (right leg back).
Benefits: This asana is beneficial for the legs and hips, and gives a nice stretch to the shoulders and front of the armpit area. It helps straighten rounding or drooping shoulders. If you are able to reach your face to your knee/leg and pressing your abdominals into your thigh, then this benefits your digestive organs.

Benefits: This asana is beneficial for the legs and hips, and gives a nice stretch to the shoulders and front of the armpit area. It helps straighten rounding or drooping shoulders. If you are able to reach your face to your knee/leg and pressing your abdominals into your thigh, then this benefits your digestive organs.

The Satanic holiday feast of fire is nearing, for this reason a community event will be held! It would be great if you could be a part of this, joining the festivities with all of our brothers and sisters! If you are interested on what to expect, take a look at my previous post.
The community event will be uploaded on the 25th / 26th of January!
Yoga Asana of the day: Padmasana
Illustration by @Heather (click to enlarge)
Start in a seated position, legs in front of you. Bend the right leg and use your hands to place the foot at the top of the left thigh, the heel should be near the navel and the sole will be facing up. Bend the left leg and use your hands to place your left foot over the right, also at the top of the thigh with the heel near the navel and the sole facing up. Remain in the position as comfortable with the back erect, then release the legs, gently move them around, and repeat with the legs reversed (left leg first).
Hands can be on knees with fingers in Gyan mudra, or palms facing up (one hand in the other) in the middle of where your feet cross.
This can be difficult at first to perform, and takes time for the knees and hips to gain the needed flexibility. Practicing the various pigeon poses and other hip-opening asanas will help prepare the hips for this pose. Never strain your knees, think of this asana as a long-term goal, even if it takes a few years of practice. In the beginning, practice with one leg at a time, with the other remaining straight out or bent, however is comfortable for your body; and then repeat on the other side.
Benefits: This asana is beneficial for those who are heavy in the Earth element or otherwise feel stagnant and heavy (Kapha); it will help you reach a lighter and higher state of meditation. Padmasana when correctly performed helps the kundalini energy reach the Crown chakra. This asana is beneficial for the knees and ankles, spine, lumbar region, abdomen.

To Mother Nature:
Don't give up today, you can do it.
Sorry for being outdated but, I'm just beginning to figure out how this status thing works.
Looking at a computer for long times inevitably causes neck and shoulder tension. I have been struggling with this problem for several years now and have found a simple way to solve it. It uses an exersize rubber, such as those sold in $1 shops. Yoga and stretching are good, but the point is to put a bit of strain on the muscles. Simply pull the rubber band from overhead to the side of the shoulder. Doing this about 10 rounds at one time, several times a day, will lighten the shoulders and neck.
Yoga Asana of the day: Ardha Chandrasana (Half Moon Pose)

For those with less experience:
You can do this against a wall, keeping your hip of the balancing leg gently pressing into the wall. You can also use a block or large book to place your hand upon, until you are able to reach the floor.
Stand against a wall, with your right hip/buttock touching the wall, face out by 45 degrees, with your right foot parallel to the wall but approximately 3-6 inches out (depending on the size of your hips and thighs, adjust to your comfort). Slide your right shoulder and arm down while keeping your torso straight; press the outside of your forearm into the wall for added support. Simultaneously lift your left leg keeping it in a line with your torso, reach your right arm down, touch the block or the floor with your right fingertips until you are able to reach with your palm, but do not place any bodyweight onto your hand, it is only there for balance.
Feel your left leg engaged, use your left hip to keep the leg horizontal. Left arm can be against your side with the hand on hip or thigh, or lift it upwards. Keep your back straight, chest open, and lifted leg stretched straight. Your weight should be fully on your balancing foot (the foot that is on the ground).
Stay for as long as is comfortable, then exhale and stand up again. Repeat on the other side.
For those with more experience:
You can get into this pose from triangle pose (Trikonasana) by bending the knee of the front leg and shifting your weight onto it as you move your hand about 12 inches forward in line with your front foot, straightening the front leg as you lift the back leg up. You can place the top arm against your body so the hand is on your hip, and then when balance is comfortable, raise your hand upwards as in the illustration. The hand that is on the floor is only for balance, do not place your bodyweight on it.
To get out of the pose, you can reverse your movements back into Trikonasana then stand up; repeat on the other side.
Benefits: This pose is very healthy for the lower spine, and for the nerves connecting to the leg muscles. As this pose is so different from the usual movements we do in our day, you might feel exhilarated upon coming out of the pose.

I never really knew about constellations, I loved gazing at the sky, but knew nothing about what I was looking at. I thought about downloading an app, my mind was blown. Orion was literally there on top of me, who the hell knew that Jupiter was right besides the moon. The app also notified me that the Iss was about to pass on top of me, and there it was. The app name is sky guide, it's great and mindblowing.
