(Sticky) Welcome to Orisla

Welcome to Orisla, Islanders.

Here is a little information on what the site and larger project hope to accomplish, and then we will get into how to get paid to engage.

This project was created as a means of providing every person with everything they need to lead a happy and successful life. It is my personal attempt as a case manager to fix some issues with the application of practical wrap-around care.

The funds gained from this project will go towards:

Developing and implementing new programs for the website
Modernizing emergency shelters into a self-sufficient community format.

The programs on this site will come in the form of amenities and services.
Some of these will have a cost and others will pay you.

For instance, the Reward Tab allows businesses to pay you to watch their advertisements.

The emergency shelters we will be constructing will not be bunk beds in a building with many other families / strangers, but will be individual homes with enough rooms and garden space to feed the family as well as provide the means for extra income in a variety of ways.
If you become a resident you will have total freedom as long as you meet at least once per month with the on site caseworker, and refrain from harming yourself or others.
Other organizations may have strict specifications as to who qualifies to become a resident, but here, we trust you to know when you're having an emergency.

Please make sure you bring your best to this program as we would love to see it grow until everyone has food to eat, a place to stay, and the means to find fulfilling work.

If you'd like to read more, please use the About Us located at the bottom of the page.

How meditation and yoga changed my life: A tool for anxiety and stress management

-Juliette Monroy

A year ago, my mind was a constant battle of anxiety and noise. Today, through meditation and yoga, I've been able to find a peace I never knew was possible before. I want to share with you my story of transformation, and how you can get started on your journey. I always thought meditation would be impossible for me. I can't stay still or empty my mind. It's funny because I've done yoga for over six years.

Most people don't know it, but meditation is a huge part of yoga. Meditation, at its core, is meant to improve your present-moment awareness and reach a state of "mindfulness," which is basically getting your mind to be fully present in the moment to connect with what you're doing. How often do we hear the saying “The past and future don’t exist; we only have this moment”? What happens when we live in the past? Depression, and if we live in the future? Anxiety.

I often find that my happiest moments are not during exciting events. They come when I can sit back and enjoy what's happening. It’s sitting in the morning with my boiling cup of coffee, admiring the view from my apartment. It’s when I’m walking aimlessly in the park. It’s chilling on the couch with my friends watching a good movie. Those little moments when everything gets quiet and you feel plenty, that’s the point of meditation: to train your mind to be fully there with you at all times.

Going back to how I got started with this journey, it all goes back to wanting to get deeper in my yoga practice. In the West, yoga is seen as a physical practice. You can use it as exercise if that’s what you’re looking for. But if you want, it can also be a highly spiritual and mental practice, which is what I’ve been trying to do for the past year. It all started with me trying to find a natural remedy for my anxiety and a healthy way to let loose. Before any yoga practice, you should do some breathing exercises, called pranayamas. There are many kinds, with different purposes. Some are for energy, others to settle down. The one thing that they have in common is that they all help make you present in the moment.

When starting your meditation, I’d recommend always starting with a pranayama to calm your nervous system down. I usually use “box breathing," and it does the trick. It’s just taking a deep breath for 4 seconds, holding it in for another 4, and then breathing it out for 4 more. This is one of the simplest yet most effective tools I’ve found for starting my meditation and my yoga practice. Not only to meditate, but I use it in any stress-inducing situation and it does wonders for me.

So, if you feel overwhelmed, or you don’t know where to start, don’t worry! There are a million free resources to help you get started. I recommend, from my experience, the Netflix doc "The Mind Explained." It explores the mind and meditation's effects on the brain. Also, the HBO series "Calm" which features experts and celebrities discussing mindfulness and its impact on well-being. When you’re just getting started, it’s really helpful to try if a guided meditation works for you. You can try guided meditations by “Insight Timer," which has a wide variety of options for different purposes and at all levels.

Now my final tip, I’d highly encourage everyone to try to do yoga as well if it’s in your possibilities. I just got my teacher certification this past summer in Bali. I had been practicing for over 5 years before that. But, I realized I wasn't getting the most out of it. Now, I know how to meditate and the importance of breathing. I understand what each pose is for. Also, yoga's mission is not to do a handstand or an impressive final pose. For me, yoga is a way of living and a practice of getting to know yourself, is taking a little time every day where you try to connect with a deeper reality.

Don't lose hope

I had an incredibly difficult time these days. Like I hit rock bottom and after a few days I am feeling much worse. I want to share lessons I learned:

1) This doesn't work narcissistic people. Kindness, understanding, empathy for others win at the end. You can make friends even aa an adult with social anxiety thanks to these qualities

2) Life is so complex. Many times, it gets much worse before it's suddenly starting to get much better suddenly

3) Say, I know exactly what I need to do but i just can't bring myself to do it. In suxh situations, although this is extremely difficult, I pretend I am feeling very happy and nothing is bad. Suddenly I may start believing it for a short time with happy mood. Then, before my mood starts to get worse, I quickly implement my plans. Implementing them gives me additional dopamine

4) having pets, spending time in nature and observing how innocent little bugs, butterflies are can help me if everything else fails

5) visiting some building which waa built on, say, 1800s. I start to wonder how life waa in those days, i kinda sense history around me. Like... these walls have seen a lot of people, have heard a lot of conversations

Of course, I don't live your life. It's easy to preach but hard to do to follow my own lessons for myself. I have understood that countless times i myself break these rules. but, i believe in them.

Thanks so much for your time and attention to read my post. I feel grateful. Feel free to share yours

Do you believe in mermaids?

I haven't seen one, and hopefully not. But I do believe that mermaids exist, and other entities too. Has anyone experienced anything unusual relating to other entities?
