This is an excerpt from the fascinating chat we had in this morning's Monday session (24th April 2023). @Mechteld-Hanna Derksen was speaking about the guilt we can feel when there is so much suffering around us and I was picking up that thread:

Any healing vibes would be appreciated while I'm getting on with my knee op! The surgeon was curious when he heard Alistair's voice at the start of the session! I told him about the classes! Thank you 💐🤞🙏

Hi, I've just watched the video of last Thursday's session on the Four Immeasurables. And as I'm taking in a lot more than when I was actually there, it's given me time to ponder: If loving kindness or wishing well arises from an unconditional, egoless place of emptiness, does this mean that the act of forgiveness is essentially ego-driven? Because do we not grace people our forgiveness? Can anyone expound on this for me? I'm twisting my brain-knickers into trying to understand. Hopeful thanks! T x

Got this interesting link from Reasons to be Cheerful (David Byrne's excellent website). How do concert spaces make themselves more mindful?

Not just the music but also my response to the music; my body's movements; the presence of other listeners. I practice pulling focus from the perfomer's fingers to the whole auditorium, indeed to the world outside the building.

As I mentioned in this evening's class, I'm currently working on a short Self-Study course on the material I have been teaching of late on Liberating the Ego Loop. I would love to get your feedback as I create the course and see if it is hitting the right notes; and is clear and cogent.
