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. So if you're interested in being a guinea pig, please join the LEL group by clicking the link below: https://www.mind-springs.org/group/liberating-the-ego-loop-1/discussion

Got this interesting link from Reasons to be Cheerful (David Byrne's excellent website). How do concert spaces make themselves more mindful? This is how the Carnegie Hall did it: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/7s228b75hxo2z9c0jd238/211130-Thursday-D-The-Fragrance-of-Virtue-Right-Speech-is-Doable.mp4?rlkey=x7qbuood77x5nmemht2sopk1y&dl=0(https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/7s228b75hxo2z9c0jd238/211130-Thursday-D-The-Fragrance-of-Virtue-Right-Speech-is-Doable.mp4?rlkey=x7qbuood77x5nmemht2sopk1y&dl=0) I often use concerts and performances as a way of being more aware. 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. There's a nice Spotify playlist attached: Music for Well-Being,https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7o2qmxfEMYFanTkUsDPaCF?si=0def95fecb5a4b99

Happy new year! I just joined the group and am excited to meditate in community. The morning sits may be a little early for me as I am 6 hours behind England but who knows!

Hi I’ve recently been exploring mindfulness and meditation. Had no idea my favourite “escape” presenter was involved in this fascinating world. Looking forward to learning more.

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.
