Found this short video and found it a succint yet enlightening perspective on human consciousness - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oE27M-FG904. "Umwelt" is a great word I'd not heard before!

Hello! I'm very happy to be joining this community, and I'm located in western Virginia on the East Coast of the US. Looking forward to Thursday's mediation!

Hi gang. It's been a while since I have been in here, so I've thought to introduce myself again. My name is Becks. I'm so many things, like mum to 5, to several cats, a bunny, some fish and a blue tongue lizard who emerges from under the back step. I feel like I've done a lap or two around the sun and discovered myself much more in recent years. Look forward to getting to know folks. View of summer storms just outside my town

Hi Mindspringers Please send prayers and positive thoughts for our little town and community here in the Rocky Mountains. We have a wildfire less than 4 miles away from our town which has spread from 10 to over 2000 acres this last week, although now at just 8% containment. Too close for comfort to our town, the community have been incredible helping ranchers evacuate livestock and helping the firefighters put out hot spots, not to mention the planes dipping the lakes for water to suppress the flames continuously every day. We'd definitely appreciate positive thoughts, personally I'm relying on all the meditation I've done over theyears to ensure my anxiety levels remain low. Thank you all. Moira x

Hope you everyone is warm and safe. Hoping the internet will be back on tomorrow! From a very wild Cumbria!

Since I haven't been doing live sessions for a couple of months now, I thought it might be nice to have a Q&A spot here. Ask a question about practice, dharma, life on the cushion or off it and I'll post a video answer a couple of times a week. You can post your questions below. That way there'll be some beneficial activity going on here for people to tune in to. 😀 Big heart bow, A

My comment is about you, @Sylvia Alana. At the crafting circle meeting, yesterday, I learned that you have been unwell. If I have the misfortune to be ill, I turn into 'Mrs Angry' very annoyed with my body for letting me down. You, however, dear Sylvia, though not feeling your best, are still posting these lovely videos for the dhamma group to enjoy. You are an inspiration. I ,and I'm sure the rest of this lovely gang, will join me in wishing you a speedy recovery. Sending love and healing vibes. XX🙏🧡🧡

I don't know if you've noticed but I've added a search bar at the top of the Mindsprings main site. I'm hoping it will make it super easy to find what you're looking for as the site gets bigger. Please try it out and give me any feedback! 😀
