Hi everyone. Just got usual reminder about Tuesday session tomorrow. I thought Alistair said there wasn't a session this week as he was doing his last week of filming ? I could be wrong, we have just had our first snowfall here so early snow might have affected my memory☃️❄️☃️❄️ Thanks Moira x

I have attended almost every meditation session for many years now but health issues prevented me from joining the last two Zoom sessions. Even though I've booked, I have not received a recording. This is unusual .Any ideas why?

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

I noticed that a reminder was sent for tomorrows session, and I’m aware some don’t join the Monday Session so just reposting below from Mondays session email: There’s no session tomorrow, Tuesday, but there is one on Thursday. The following week, there are no Zoom sessions, as I’m up teaching the annual retreat on Holy Island.

Hello Everybody- can anyone tell me how to stop other sites sending emails? I only want information from MindSprings! I’ve tried to look but it’s just says they are hidden! Any tips? Thank you🙏

Hello, I'm originally from the US, but now live in the midlands. Looking forward to the live streams.

Hello everyone, I know this is a sensitive time. Regardless of your feelings about the monarchy, periods of national mourning can connect us with pools of grief that can overwhelm us suddenly, so I'm sending lots of loving spacious energy to you all. Here at the Cliff Edge, the seasons are changing and I'm sitting in my new garden office listening to the rain (which as some of you will remember is a sign that the Buddhas are present and attending...) The new office comes with new wifi and solar panels to supply energy. And this means that I'm thinking of re-commencing regular weekly sits online. Some of you will have been with us through the lockdown, and some of you may be new. But hopefully, come the middle of October, when I'm back from Holy Island, we will start with three times a week Zoom sessions once again. I'll be announcing it more widely later this month, but I wanted to ask you for your advice and input in shaping the timetable and content. Perhaps you might take a moment to fill out this questionnaire so I can gauge what people are looking for. Also we're having a Mindsprings coffee morning (well, a Sunday sit and chat) on October 2nd at 10am UK time. We can discuss some of the stuff in the questionnaire then! Book in for the Zoom details at our new booking page: https://www.mind-springs.org/online-live Sending you lots of love. Alistair

Hi all, I hope you all had at least some good times this summer. I certainly had both beautiful days as well as challinging ones. I would like to share one picture snd story of a really nice day and would love to see some pictures of you too! This is a picture of my last day of our holiday in Sweden, in the region Bohuslän. This region has a stunning archipelago. Lots of rocks, beautiful flowers, spendid villages.... This day we had a short hike over rocks to a secluded bay. The sun was shining, dark coulds where drifting in. My(http://in.My) second son and I quickly undressed to enjoy a dive in the sea. Noone around. Just wildlife, sea and my family. I felt so blessed. When I got my cancer diagnosis last year and dreamt about surviving, I pictured myself swimming in the outdoors. I am still lacking in energy to get back to a normal life and some days I feel sad and frustrated because of that. But as I swam and reminded myself of this wish of being able to swim like this....well,....all was well for that moment. And now I have this golden memory to carry in my heart.

https://www.lotsawahouse.org/indian-masters/atisha/lamp-path-enlightenment#introref:5 We're starting a new cycle of teaching on Thursday, 26th, looking at this text from Atisha, the 11th-century Indo-Tibetan teacher who gave the lojong teachings (which we'll examine later in 2025) and the instructions on lamrim (the stages of the path). You may want to browse this excellent translation on the Lotsawa House website.

We normally attend the meditation sessions together. He is poorly in hospital. Please dear Mindsprings friends pray for my husband’s healing and recovery. We have a dog and two cats who very much want to see and cuddle their Daddy.
