In order to flower, self-compassion depends on honest, direct contact with our own vulnerability. Compassion fully blossoms when we actively offer care to ourselves. To help people address feelings of insecurity and unworthiness, I often introduce mindfulness and compassion through a meditation I call the RAIN of Self-Compassion. The acronym RAIN, first coined by Michele McDonald, is an easy-to-remember tool for practicing mindfulness. The RAIN meditation has four steps:

Recognizing means consciously acknowledging, in any given moment, the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are affecting us. Like awakening from a dream, the first step out of the trance of unworthiness is simply to recognize that we are stuck, subject to painfully constricting beliefs, emotions, and physical sensations. Common signs of the trance include a critical inner voice, feelings of shame or fear, the squeeze of anxiety or the weight of depression in the body.

Different people respond to the sense of unworthiness in different ways. Some might stay busy, trying to prove themselves valuable; others, fearful of failure, may become discouraged or even paralyzed. Still others may resort to addictive behaviors to avoid facing their shame and fear. Any of these strategies can lead to either defensive or aggressive behavior with others, or unhealthy attachment.

Some of us are at war with ourselves for decades, never realizing how our self-judgment and self-aversion keep us from finding genuine intimacy with others or enjoying our lives. One palliative caregiver reports that a key regret of the dying is not having been true to themselves. Rather than listening to and trusting our inner life, most of us try to live according to the expectations of others, which we internalize. When we inevitably fall short of the mark, we condemn ourselves.

Not only was I struggling with illness, I was at war with the self-centered, irritable person I believed I had become. Unknowingly, I had turned on myself and was held captive by the trance of unworthiness. But in that moment of recognizing and allowing the suffering of self-hatred, my heart began to soften with compassion.

Natural loving awareness occurs when identification with the small self is loosened. This practice of non-identification means that our sense of who we are is not fused with any limiting emotions, sensations, or stories. We begin to intuit and live from the openness and love that express our natural awareness.

We each have the conditioning to live for long stretches of time imprisoned by a sense of deficiency, cut off from realizing our intrinsic intelligence, aliveness, and love. The greatest blessing we can give ourselves is to recognize the pain of this trance, and regularly offer a cleansing rain of self-compassion to our awakening hearts.

101stAirborneI think it would be really cool if someone could pull off a diorama where it was raining. I don't know if it has been done before and I don't know how it would be done. Possibly a shadow box?

A force perspective diorama, with the effects of the rain hitting the ground. Don't forget since you are doing a model, you must take in consideration of scale effect. Though rain drops vary in size, if you took a full drop and used it in a scale diorama, it would be like dumping pails of water instead of drops.

I'd go for the effect of water hitting puddles, give everything a wet looking sheen to it and position the figures as if they were protecting themselves from the rain. You could add a little dripping water from objects using Future I would imagine.

I think they had a piece of plexi glass that was streaked (to look through) and then made some "rooster tails" coming off the wheels. I thought about building a dio then spraying future on it. you wouldn't see the "rain" but I think you could pull off a scene where it looks "wet and rainy".

3). Uniforms if soaked would be darker than normal. If a light shower you could even go with painting the shoulders and upper parts a darker shade than arenas like the lower and inner parts of the sleeves that wouldn't get hit with rain.

I was thinking the same thing. Remember those "rain lamps" back in the 70's and early 80's? I mean, it would look pretty fake just having fishing line strung in front of a diorama but perhaps in a shadow box could look pretty cool.

I remember this feature. The model was inside a Plexiglas box and the inside of the plexi had been grained with fine sandpaper to make it look like rain was falling. There was a lot more about water plumes from the wheels etc.

For static rain, you may use some materials as proposed above like clear sprues, fishing lines, etc. But for dynamic, falling rain you'll need Java applets. I've been using it for 10 years now. The only problem is that you can't show it on other sites rather than your own. This page shows what I'm talking about at the top of page:

That said, I like to do "wet" dios where the rain is suggested by the appearance of the objects in it.. One of the better effects, I think, is to depict it as just having started to fall... I depict this be showing only the upper surfaces of objects as being "wet", be it the tops of AFVs with some wet streaking,, the helmets and shoulders/feet of figures, roads & streets just starting to be completely wet, but with dry areas under overhanging objects...

I must agree with HvH on his one. That rain in the pic with the Tiger looks great, but nothing else is moving. I treat my Dio's as a 3-D photo, thats why i don't use a clear plastic disk to show moving propellers on plans. I think it just looks silly. I havn'et tried a scene in the rain yet, but its somthing i will have to try at some point.

Rain Dove Dubilewski (born September 27, 1989) is an American model, actor, and activist, best known for their work in fashion as a gender-nonconforming model,[3] posing alternately as male and female in photoshoots, productions, and runway shows. Dove was voted as SheWired's Most Eligible Bachelorette in 2014[4] and named one of Elle Magazine's 12 Women Who Are Redefining Beauty in 2015.[5]

A self-described "gender capitalist", Dove has written, "I've never really cared about pronouns for my own descriptors",[6] and that they disavow personal pronouns and ask people to choose whichever they feel apply: "Use she, he, it, one, they ... I honestly don't care ... All I'm listening for in that sound is positivity."[7]

Assigned female at birth, Dove spent their early years believing they were ugly: they had a larger physique than other children and youth, and were given the nickname "Tranny Danny".[8] Initially, Dove claimed in interviews and biographies to have studied genetic engineering and civil law at University of California, Berkeley. They also claimed to have worked as a Colorado Firefighter under a male pseudonym, and to have passed as a man during this time, for a period of eleven months.[8] However, in late 2019 Dove admitted in a video on NBC News that both of these claims (of having studied genetics and law, and of having been a firefighter) were false.[9]

Dove began a modeling career after being challenged by a friend to present themselves as a man in a Calvin Klein casting for underwear. At the casting, they were handed the outfit for the test shoot, which was just a pair of underwear. When Dove came in topless, the designer responded by giving them a men's shirt and saying "Swear to God, you will not tell anyone you're a woman!"[10] After the show, people began seeking Dove for modeling jobs; three months later they accepted their first modeling job and have since walked at New York fashion week on both men's and women's runways.[11]

During their final year in high school, Dove intentionally became homeless as a social experiment to "document how homelessness affected my academics".[12] After this, Dove became more involved in activism and politics, and said they became interested in working for the United Nations prior to finding a career in fashion: "I wanted to work for the U.N. (United Nations) ... I would have applied at the U.N. and would have probably been working in some third world country, or a country that has water rights issues. Gender would be the least of my worries."[13]

Dove supported the movement against North Carolina's HB2, which legislated that individuals had to use the restrooms corresponding with the sex listed on their birth certificates.[12] In 2018, Dove said they were pepper-sprayed in a women's restroom in North Carolina by a woman who thought Dove was a man.[14][15]

Regarding the fashion industry and gender issues, Dove states that advertising agencies "aren't some evil illuminati trying to dupe the people into living heteronormative white lifestyles" and that they are simply "trying to make money in the safest way possible."[16] For example, Dove says of Queer Fashion Week, "When you have an event like this, you are telling the large conglomerates like Gap, Levi's, H & M etcetera that there is money to be made and there is a desire to represent the queer community in the commercial side of the fashion world. They don't have to be afraid to align themselves with the LGBTQ community."[13]

A new clothing line by the name Phluid Project caught Dove's attention and got their support for being the first major non-binary clothing store in New York, and they participated in a panel as moderator.[17]

Dove describes themself as a "gender capitalist", explaining, "Gender Capitalism is both Feminist and Masculinist. It's everythingist. It's the recognition that I, as an organism, am treated differently based on my perceived genitalia and the identity surrounding that relationship."[12] They have also said, "You can identify with whatever you want. It's just that you recognise how society sees gender and you capitalise on it."[7] In their work, this means using acting skills like changes in posture, gait and voice to strategically appear more femme or masculine at different times, both to "subvert expectations" of both gender expressions, and to "maximise opportunity and earnings".[7] 152ee80cbc
