Love to do the zoom - have to get my admin to set it up . Thank you Alastair for ur words, very apt. I wish I could be in the UK with my cousins to share a National positive grief. Like those Buddhist magnificent sand Mandela’s, no matter how permanent a form/ person/institution is, we all are here for a magnificent moment in cosmic time( full of purpose & meaning), then gone the next. Love to you all xx.

Hi Lucy welcome, you couldn't dip your toe in a friendlier pond ! ♥️🙏

Thank you for your kind message Patti and everyone in the crafting circle. I am looking forward to coming back to join you all ~ my meditation cushion with its edge of 🕉 flags still needs some more sewing ~ So I will be back once I am coordinated again, I am making very good progress. I am also hoping to join Alistair’s Meditation Classes again in the New Year. 🙏🏻🕊 Namaste Sylvia

Welcome and may you benefit from being here. It’s a nurturing place to be.

Light / brings you home, my mothers door

Fantastic. Thanks for posting.

Bless you, thank you Rose 😊🙏 Im in Carmarthen (we used to live in Cwmbran, then the Brecon beacons, so I know Mountain Ash ) xxx

This was wonderful. Thank you James. ‘Mind over Matter’, our deeper selves-this wonderful exploration of another state of being alive. I loved the enthusiasm of His Holiness boldly exploring truth; Unafraid. I will watch this film again, there is so much to it -thank you very much for providing the link xxx

Brilliant. There’s been awesome breakers at the Cliff today. Not sure how friendly they’d be close up. But I live a challenge!

Yes, Patti. There was a wonderful connection and the instrument that Daniel was playing was so soothing. Hoping to join next after after family visits have gone. Hoping you are well.🤗

I echo what you are saying Patti. Silence, but with/in a sangha, is so womderfully nourishing and supportive. ❤🙏

Hi Alistair, thanks, so much, for this. I'm apt to believe that my intrusive thoughts are conditioned to how my day has been or how I perceive it might pan out. If I rise to a happy sounding household, then my thoughts are quieter ,during meditation. However, if I rise to a gloomy and angry household, my thoughts seem to reflect that. Even news bulletins will hang around in my thoughts and then come out to play when I'm meditating but I'm going to try welcoming them in, gradually, and see what happens. This will be a work in progress, a toughy, and it may take some time but I'll do my best.😇🙏
