Anyone else having problems on the zoom link for today. I got about 6 reminder emails yesterday but all state link invalid ? I'm guessing I wont be able to join today now but hopefully see you all next week.

Hi Alistair, I just want to thank you for your guidance regarding my invasive thoughts. They are not always critical but always noisy ! I shall be guided by your suggestion and , with a little more practice, I hope to be able welcome them in without allowing them to take centre stage so much.( I'll probably sneak back ,now and then, to the anchor and the somatic tent , my favourites) Thoroughly enjoyed the meditation, this evening always a pleasure to practice 'live' with you. Love and blessings Patti 🙏

Well, I've arrived here at the shiny new website but I'm afraid I entered via the ' back door' .The site doesn't seem to like either my password or email address. Have to login with Google. If I'm the only one this has happened to, it's probably me causing the problem. Hopefully that can be remedied. My technology prowess is limited. However, I'm enjoying having a tootle around the site and getting my bearings.❤️❤️🏆🙏

Does anyone know if Alistair recorded Thursday 5th June meditation? Thanks

We'd love to get to know you better. Take a moment to say hi to the community in the comments.

"Clarity, or natural awareness, is so much a part of everyday experience that it’s hard to recognize. It’s like trying to see your eyelashes without using a mirror. So how do you go about recognizing it? According to the Buddha, you meditate – though not necessarily in the way most people understand it. The kind of meditation involved here is a type of “non-meditation.” There’s no need to focus on or visualize anything."

Hi everyone. I’ve just joined Mindsprings after enjoying the Fight the Festive frazzle meditation session yesterday and plan to join the regular online meditations. A healthy and happy New Year to you all 😊

Thank you Istvan and James for the musical info. Alistair has helped me to see my tinnitus in a more acceptable light, through meditation I hope that Arvo Part and Beethoven can also assist in my constant battle with this horrible noise. Alistair, Arvo Part and Beethoven....wow, what a trio !!!🧡🧡🙏

Just read lovely short account of an American’s experience of Plum Village. And a very vivid account of moment of spontaneous teaching in the plum orchard: “When you are alienated from your roots, you seek buddhas. When you are in touch with who you really are, you are a buddha.” https://www.lionsroar.com/the-spirit-of-plum-village/

Hello!  I’m so sorry that I wasn’t able to lead the session this evening.  I have been having technical issues with my internet and server all day and was lost in a wormhole of call-waiting and not very helpful service centres.  What a pity! As I was hoping to catch up with you all before the summer break.  We won’t be meeting again for the Anxiety group until the 5th September now but I will be having our last session on Thursday morning at 7am. So please do come along to that - or sign up to get the recordings.  Again, sorry for this evening but hopefully you were able to find something useful in the practice library.  All best, Alistair
