Hello I am a big fan of permies.Just wanted to share this book with the community. It is philosophical and also a practical guide to herding sheep.
Sheepherder meditations Amazon Kindle
Here is a preview.It goes further into detail of the practical side as well.Talking about lambing,shearing,etc.
When you herd sheep you our a sheepherder,a ecologist,herbalist,environmentalist,and many more things.
In the state of solid.Use the power of your mind.Visualize yourself as a rock A boulder.Unmoving in a windstorm.Unmoving in the rain.To heavy to move by machinery.Uneffected by time.Swords bounce off of you.Punches weither physical or mental bounce off of you.In this mindset you our slow to move.Taking a long pause slow to
answer thinking on every word.As the saying goes solid as a rock.
In the state of liquid.If you can find a body of
water sit by it this will help you gain the mindset of liquid.Visualize water moving flowing.Water always finds away to move.
You cannot have one sheep you need atleast two.The more sheep/herd animals the better.They our easier to herd.
In the state of vapor.Visualize yourself as the air.A cloud.Smoke.You can pass thru any mental block in front of you.
All of these mindsets our also good for dream traveling and astral
project.
