Triple Burn Masonry Heater definitely makes it feel like you're getting more for less.

Sounds like energy healing to me too.

There's as many energy healing practices as there are rocks on the road.

As for a Hawaiian healing practice, there is something called Hoʻoponopono.
"Ho'oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian healing technique that focusses the energies of forgiveness, love and gratitude into those areas of our being where we are holding on to memories that are no longer serving us. "

"All that is required is the sounding of the four-line mantra, the Ho’oponopono prayer, with heartfelt sincerity:
I’m Sorry, Please Forgive Me, I Love You, Thank you.”

Another more broadly known healing modality is Reiki, but that is traditionally a Japanese tradition. The Americanized version is a bit like Karate where it's not learned properly. It's not as risky to receive energy healing from 'initiated' American Reiki practitioners since the healing modality is fundamentally about channeling energy through your body, being a conduit for the healing essentially.

Aside from that there are traditional tribal practices that do energy work for healing that are at the root of all cultures, from what I've understood, but can't speak to that personally.

For deeper wounds such as broken bones it's rare to find an energy worker skilled enough to do something like that and there's a good amount of caution necessary since it's rife with malintent or malpractice.

Good luck on your search!

If it's something that falls into this category, please look for help within your local support spaces, as on the internet is not the best space to support someone who's having issues in their personal life. School Counselors if you have one available at your High School can be a safe resource. Keep in mind they are mandatory reporters.

There are also a number of online support structures:

Take the Crisis Text Line, which is a nonprofit offering mental health support.
Crisis Text Line is a global nonprofit organization providing free and confidential text-based mental health support and crisis intervention by texting HOME to 741741. The organization launched in 2013, and its services are available 24 hours a day throughout the United States, Canada, UK, and Ireland.

They also offer support for youths who are in school.
Whether students are feeling the long-term effects of social isolation, grieving over missed proms/graduations/games, or are worried about their family, we’re here to help. Anyone can text SCHOOL to 741741 to connect with a Crisis Counselor. Totally free, 24/7.

There is an organization that offers safe places for youths as well. More information can be found below:
https://www.nationalsafeplace.org/how-does-safe-place-work
Youth may also TXT 4 HELP to receive information about the closest Safe Place location and chat with a professional for more help. TXT 4 HELP is a nationwide, 24-hour text-for-support service for youth in crisis.


That being said, if it's a gardening issue, what's troubling you? Are you running into fear on how to plan out the garden?

Feeling overwhelmed when planning things out is a very normal thing, and it can difficult to start with. Breaking things down into the smallest steps you can take helps cope with the overwhelm.

If you can track them down and find one willing to work with you, I'd recommend working with the Appalachian Granny Witches. They are pretty renowned as Herbalists.

They tend to be pretty insular and I believe their traditions are a closed practice, but there are probably some that will teach you somewhere.

I've never bled brakes unless I've opened up the system, like when replacing or rebuilding a caliper, not when replacing rotors or pads.
That said, Im just someone who learned a little about cars out of necessity, and part of that has included doing things the wrong way until I knew better.

Something I didn't see mentioned, is the importance of where you support the vehicle.
Most vehicles have specific points on their undersides where the scissor jack is supposed to go.
When you are putting a vehicle in a jack stand, you will need to carefully choose spots on the frame to rest on the heads of the jack stands.

It's demonstrated in this video I posted earlier:


Usually there's a notch on the bottom of the frame in the car.

hmm, what would you say your intent is with the garden?

How can you move to arrive at that intent, and what help do you need to get there.

You have a space and it's open for you to create in, the garden. What would get you up in the morning excited to create in it?

Visualize what would feel good then set the intent to create that. After you have a vision you can work it backwards by looking at it and saying, and i will do this by, and i will do this by, until you've broken it down into actionable step by step goals.

From there people can help you manifest that intent by providing information or support.

So, what do you think?

For hardy and simple stuff to grow in the garden you might consider growing some herbs.

If you end up outgrowing your space you can look at community gardens.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_gardening

Just search them up in your area and see how viable they are for you.

A quick google search (not much of a gardener myself) are the below:

Mint
A perennial herb that's low maintenance and can thrive indoors year-round. It's an aggressive grower, so you might need to cut it back.
Chives
A perennial herb that's easy to grow from seed and can be grown indoors year-round.
Oregano
A perennial herb that can be grown indoors year-round.
Rosemary
A perennial herb that can be grown indoors year-round.
Thyme
A perennial herb that can be grown indoors year-round.
Sage
A drought-tolerant herb that thrives in sunlight. It goes well with apples, squash, and other fall fruits and vegetables.
Lemon balm
A relative of mint that's easy to grow in containers and has a pleasant, citrusy-mint flavor.
Cilantro
A quick-growing herb that germinates in 7–10 days and is ready to snip in about four weeks.
Dill
A herb that can be grown indoors on a sunny windowsill. It needs lots of water and bright light.
Catnip
A herb that thrives in sunshine and is a good choice for cat owners.

PEP is a way to start moving into trying out some of the different permaculture ways of doing things. You don't always need a lot of land to take some of these projects on.

See also the SKIP (skills to inherit property) forum as well:

It appears to me that this kit includes all brake pads and the rotors necessary to replace both rear brakes. Am I correct?

Any calipers or boots or pins would of course be additional.

For that specific linked kit it includes:
2 Rotors
4 brake pads
2 brake pad retaining clips & holders
1 pouch of brake silicon lubricant

It will cover both rear brakes, yes. If the piston is bad, it does not include the piston. It would not include the boot that the brake line runs into that the brake pads slot into, or the pins if those components are rusted out. Usually they are fine with a bit of cleaning from a de-ruster + brake vleaner and wire brush. Then greased as shown in the video.
