Nicknames your characters can use for each other~

Poppie note: It's been a long time since I wrote any writing aid. I was looking for unique nicknames for fanfic, and realised how much I had to search, so here is your go-to guide.

Casual: babe, baby, sweetheart, sweetie

Reader's favourite: love, darling, angel, my queen/king/highness, hubby/wifey/ so, princess

Reflective#1: Use nicknames that match the other person's appearance or personality (DO NOT MAKE IT OFFENSIVE)

Eg: short-stuff, Goldie(Golden retriever energy), blondie,

Reflective#2: tells about the speaker's personality

(Someone Agressive may call the other person): idiot, dumbass, stupid etc.

Cute nicknames: Doe, Kitty, Kitten, Cupcake, Guppy, Munchkin, Pookie, Dove, Flower, My star

Content dependant nicknames:

(These may sound creepy, cute or hot depending upon the context)

Little one

Little Dove

Fragile flower

Kitten

Pest

Shortening names: Jamie for Jameson, Binnie or Bin-Bin for Hanbin, Sam for Samantha

Nicholasnames: (making names longer affectionately): Cherrisma for Cherry, Parineeti for Pari

Foreign nicknames

This is one trick I personally use, and it works like a charm. Especially if the other character doesn't know the language and then they get to know what the word means later on.

Mon Chaton (french)--------------->my kitten

Mon Cheri (french) ----------------->my dear

Mi amor(Spanish)----------------->my love

Prēya (Hindi)------------------------->Dear

Hase(german)------------------------>Bunny

Dorogaya(Russian)------------------>Sweetheart

International Yoga Day 2022: Simple Bhakti Yoga Given by a Complete Saint Is the Best

History of International Yoga DayYoga is an ancient art of physical, mental, and spiritual practice that gives calmness, peace, confidence, and courage to the people through which they can do several activities in a better way. At every level of existence, it is a state of harmony. Yoga is practiced in various forms around the world and continues to grow in popularity. It originated in pre-Vedic times in India approximately 6000 years ago and requires people to practice meditation in their daily lives so as to attain a healthy and strong life.In ancient times, yoga was practiced by Hindus, Jain, and Buddhists. This ancient wisdom is also known as the supreme science of life. But in a developing world, looking upon the health benefits yoga provides, it is practiced all over the planet. Now the question is why we choose 21 June as the day of Yoga, and not any other day. Actually 21 June is the day of the summer solstice. A solstice is an event when the tilt of a planet’s axis in the northern hemisphere is most inclined towards the star that it orbits – in our case, the earth and the sun.

Now the question arises why chose 21 June as the day of Yoga, and not any other day? June 21 is considered as the longest day of the year with the sun rising early and setting late for the northern hemisphere. The summer solstice is also considered as an important day in Indian mythology as it marks an event that could be considered the start of Yogic science.Who Is Known as the Father of Modern Yoga?Tirumalai krishnamacharya is considered as the father of modern yoga.

That Yoga is Bhakti Yoga, i.e., the Yoga of doing worship. That is the real Yoga because ‘Yog’ literally means ‘connection’. 

This word was initially used with those who used to practice various types of religious acts in order to attain the Almighty, i.e. with those who used to try to connect (Yog) with God. And, those who used to practice the worship were named ‘Yogi’.Then, these Yogis also started doing physical exercises to keep their bodies healthy because of not getting the right way of Worship, they used to practice worship by sitting idle at one place. This way, the physical exercises are also named ‘Yoga’ and are ignorantly associated with spirituality while this Yoga has nothing to do with Bhakti. Bhakti Yoga is different from this Yoga. Only Bhakti Yoga can lead to spiritual success. That true Bhakti Yoga, today, is being granted by Jagatguru Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj alone.

There is a specific path present in our human body to ascend to Satlok. There are three veins in our nervous system called the Ila, Pingala, and Sushumna. The practitioners of yoga are aware of the third eye or Trikuti, which is situated between the two eyebrows at the back of your head. However, the way towards Satlok is much higher than the crown chakra or Sahsar chakra which is situated above the third eye. The ones who meditate along with yoga can reach the crown chakra.What Was the Purpose of Yoga?Only the ones who are following the way of worship and meditation given by an enlightened saint can ascend to those higher realms which are partly in our body and partly outside it.

DOORS OF PERCEPTION

“The function of the brain and nervous system is to protect us from being overwhelmed and confused by this mass of largely useless and irrelevant knowledge, by shutting out most of what we should others perceive and remember at any given moment, leaving only that very small and special selection that is likely to be practically useful.”

-Dr. D. C. Broad

Huxley expands on this quote in his work The Doors of Perception by siting why we have systems of perception; survival. He literally breaks down why the human mind translates so little of the information we take in.

Consciousness, as a field of study, has came a long way from the acid culture of Huxley’s era but that doesn’t mean we’ve disproved many of his views. In fact, quite the opposite has taken place. We now know that the human brain processes about 400 billion bits of information per second but we only perceive about 4,300 bits of said information. That’s a really fancy way of saying Huxley was right and we only need about .01% of the information our brains take in from the stream of consciousness- or the outside world.

Now, what Huxley called a reduction valve of our consciousness can actually be lessened through meditative practice. That’s right. Ardent meditators have more developed frontal lobes and are able to take in and process more information than the average person. Modern psychologists have actually been able to gauge the physiological differences that occur in people who have meditated for prolonged periods of time.

You guys know how much I love this sort of science. Any time we see a way to change our perceptions, or a way to lessen the damage of cortisol being flooded in our systems for prolonged periods of time I will always gladly share the research. As I discover more information and track down the case studies you guys will benefit from the findings. It’s such a fascinating field.

To the stars who listen and the dreams that are answered.

Why intrusive thoughts don't manifest.

They don't, because random thoughts don't manifest, your state does, your dominant believe does.

Lemme just break this down a bit more.

So I was watching a psychology video sometime back and the dude in the video asked us to look at the ceiling above us and think that it's going to fall and asked us to hold that thought for 5 seconds, and it did not fall of course and so he concluded "thoughts don't create anything." For a moment my mind was boggled because I could only think of LOA at that time but then I self-speculated, those 5 seconds my main focus was on the fear of the ceiling falling, I did not want it to fall, it was just a thought that it might fall, heavily emphasising on the word "might". Thoughts come with certain emotions and uncertainty, we are not sure whether the ceiling would fall or not but we're scared, there is zero conviction. An intrusive thought comes out of a spontaneous fear which lasts for like a minute or so and then you get distracted and you forget.

Conciously manifesting something, is more of a mindset than thoughts. Even though you don't have to take any steps in 3d, you still have to work for it mentally, and by that I mean, maintaining a good mental diet, persisting, having a consistent faith in the law and the unseen. It is a whole change of mental state that you had before discovering the existence of this law. The kind of thoughts you get just tells you your mental state, if your thoughts are desperate and full of anxiety that just means that you're not living in the end, they are just there to notify you, to remind you, to affirm and persist in the new story, to change your mindset, to acquire the Godly state. So in conclusion, your thoughts don't matter, they are harmless, all you gotta do is flip and get back in the powerful state. In your mind's garden, these intrusive thoughts are like weeds near your favorite plant, telling you to focus on the planttt itself and take care of it so that it can bloom properly, you gotta take them weeds out because they are of no use, you gotta take care of your plant for it to grow well. (You get it!? right. Lol hope this weed and plant analogy fits lmao). Focus on what you want, focus on persisting on the new story, focus on yourself.

Hope this post helped lol.

Hi! I’m looking for more fics like The Eagles Nest, where D and H are working on a project together. Preferably 8th year/7th year return. Something where there is magical theory and research involved. Thank you!!

Blinded by the Walls by Khaisworld - not rated WIP - AU. Dramione 8th year fic.McGonagall puts in place “Therapy Sessions” where each student is assigned with another student to these sessions. However, due to a magical wall between them, the students don’t know who they have these sessions with. Hermione and Draco are assigned to be Therapy Partners.

Changes - wh0r3crux - E, WIP - Returning 8th year Slytherins are forced to take Muggle Studies as per their probation requirements. In an effort to bridge the gap between pure bloods and muggleborns, each participating pure blood student is partnered with a muggleborn for a tutor. As if that weren’t bad enough, guess who Draco Malfoy gets partnered with?

Capstone - bek_48 - M, 30 chapters - Seventh Year is upon them, and Hermione Granger has several priorities:

-Keep Harry and Ron out of trouble -Prepare for NEWTs -Grin and bear being partners on a year-long project with Draco Malfoy

Throw in an excessively vague prophecy, a scavenger hunt for some odd enchanted stones, and tracking down an escalating prankster, and she is sure to have her hands full, to say the least.

The Art of Adjustment - Mimifreed - M, one-shot - (DRAMIONE) It’s 8th year at Hogwarts and after the Battle, all students are required to take Muggle Studies. As a challenge to show that muggle skills are needed, the students are paired off and must complete a cooking project to pass! Hermione has this in the bag… at least, she thought so until she was paired with Draco Malfoy.
