Dear Melanie, I am so sorry to hear about Simon's death. What a blow - and I will add him to my list of those who are travelling the bardo and wish him well in his journey. Sending immense love to you and Bear. Please do let us know if there's anything specific that you need help or support with in these coming weeks. Alistair

Beautiful to read this straight after today's meditation - thank you, Alistair!

Surely these are words to live by, so beautiful, so profound, so true.

Hugs, Patti! I wish for your release from all pain.

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.😇🙏

Hi Jane. Lovely to meet you on line. Thank you for connecting. Anita x

Hey Patti! I’m all well after that, thank you! Thinking of Dameon today! ❤️

Yes! I feel the same way. Simply noting it as “liking” and “not liking” feels quite revolutionary. There’s no “I” story that hangs on. It often flies through double speed. And I don’t hang on to “liking” or kick against “not liking”. Vedana becomes threaded through everything. When it’s a ‘foundation of mindfulness’, I see it everywhere on so many micro and macro levels. And, as the refrain has it, always coming and going, and therefore no ground for clinging.

@Trish Mercurio - sometimes the alpacas are serene, other times they are playful. Sniffing people's toes during yoga is a favorite alpaca activity. It took a while for them to get used to yoga mats, they really were not too sure about them to begin with. Glad you have your Pug as your yoga partner. My miniature Australian Shepherd usually joins me for daily yoga. Hope you get to try alpaca yoga one day
