Empirical Report on Smahooing: A Naturalistic Social Experiment
The Benefits of smahooing with mindful awareness and focus purpose.
Introduction
Last Wednesday, I engaged in the practice of smahooing with mindful awareness and a focused purpose. This report details the deliberate choice to publicly share my smahooing experience and the profound impact it had on both my personal mindset and the trajectory of my life.
[This concept of smahoo resembles a farmer planting a seed and waiting to harvest it. It’s akin to the act of worship. Twenty years ago, I described this idea as "before you pray, become what you wish to pray for." The Audio of that episode is attached.]
The findings presented here provide empirical support for the transformative potential of smahooing, not only as a tool for stress management but as a comprehensive approach to cognitive, emotional, and psychological detoxification, restructuring, and reset.
The Experiment
Purpose and Methodology
The experiment began with an intentional act of public acknowledgment. By openly sharing that I was deliberately engaging in smahooing, I sought to test whether such transparency could lead to meaningful personal and communal changes. This approach encouraged vulnerability and accountability within a supportive environment.
A fellow smahooer commented on their surprise at my willingness to be so open. This moment underscored the inherent power of shared experiences to inspire and connect. What unfolded in the days following that Wednesday confirmed the hypothesis: smahooing, when practiced with intention and mindfulness, can reset one’s mindset and lead to significant life changes.
Key Insights from the Experience
Mindful Self-Reflection
The core of my smahooing practice involved deep self-reflection without judgment. Unlike conventional methods that may rely on external appeals—such as seeking guidance from a deity, the universe, or others—I chose to focus inward. The process began with:
- Self-Forgiveness: Letting go of guilt, shame, and blame.
- Compassion: Embracing my circumstances without resentment or self-condemnation.
- Acknowledgment: Identifying my emotional and psychological state in the days leading up to the experiment.
- This introspective process served as a powerful catalyst for inner peace and clarity.
Community and Vulnerability
One of the critical factors in the success of this experiment was the safe and supportive community setting. By creating a space where I could openly share my faith-based framework and personal journey, I felt empowered to put the smahooSPAexperience to the test. This experience demonstrated that vulnerability, when met with acceptance and understanding, fosters profound growth.
Do you believe that there is a parallel between nurturing a seed and personal growth? This is a sample of how to use smahoo to intentionally transform yourself with the least resistance and definiteness of purpose. Which intentionality challenges your human natural instinct or predisposition for instant gratification. In most cases, this maladaptive behaviour of what can be seen as your personality's ego state can often get in the way of sincere and stressed responses and the authentic needs of the NOW moment. According to Sigmund Freud's theory "3 ego states of an individual personality: ig, the ego and the superego", the main psychological framework and construct I used to develop the "Rice and Peas For The Soul REVISITED, This I Believe To Be True" teachings, doctrine and (AI is calling it a philosophy). Go figure.
