I don't know if you've noticed but I've added a search bar at the top of the Mindsprings main site. I'm hoping it will make it super easy to find what you're looking for as the site gets bigger. Please try it out and give me any feedback! 😀

I can feel spring is approaching here in the Rocky Mountains. This is what the locals call Bluebird skies 🐦, so peaceful, quiet and beautiful.

Hiya. I don't seem to be getting the reminder emails with a link to the zoom meeting. The last couple of weeks I have had to go into my bookings page and find it there. Can anything be done?

Having just completed this module of the wonderful Beingfulness course it reminded me so vividly of how profoundly moved I was by the movie Nine Days, where unborn souls get to see and hear images and sounds of life experience in the ‘real’ world, but can’t truly feel anything before they are ‘born’. It is one of my favourite films, and although it can be a tough watch at times, it left me floored, heartbroken, grateful, and uplifted all at the same time. An incredible score too. I had the ‘luck’ of a health scare over 20 years ago that gave me the gift of truly savouring every moment, every sight, sound, feel, smell, and taste (which can drive those around me crazy sometimes if I bang on about it too much, and can makes walks take twice as long!), but Alistair’s superb course and this phenomenal film both serve as excellent reminders to really be in the moment. I highly recommend the movie, but be ready for a few tears!

I'm posting the teaching from early March which was explaining the shamata path using the old Tibetan teaching aid of the Elephant path. Here's the full teaching: https://share.descript.com/view/p5x3rKWNimY

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

We've started a new cycle of teaching on Thursdays which is focusing on meditation practice - particularly the two flavours of shamata (Tibetan: shi-ne ) and vipashyna (Tib: lhak-tong). This balance of 'calm abiding' and 'special insight' is going to be our subject for the next month or so. Here's a brief explanation of these terms. https://share.descript.com/view/B85QRmiG2yN
