Hiya Does anyone have anyone have any knowledge or experience of Nurosym devices? Apparently they stimulate the vagus nerve. https://nurosym.com/en-gb/products/nurosym I have heard Alistair talking about the vagus nerve quite a lot but I don't know whether these devices are useful. My husband has a chronic illness and is considering buying one of these but they are very expensive so I wondered if anyone had any experience or advice? Thanks Rachel

Teri asked a question on Monday which chimed with my thinking about what meditation permits. Worth a listen: https://share.descript.com/view/U65ycpFJlj1

Hello to the Mindsprings community ! I'm really happy to join again the community on this new platform. I know that I will meet wonderful people here, and also find some great resources about topics like emotions, stress and anxiety. It will help me for my inner trip, and move forward on the path to "freedom". As a very dear friend told me recently, even if it can be very difficult or maybe seem counter-intuitive : "The only way out is through !".

My husband and I have followed Alistair on the BBC for years watching and listening to his calm manner helping others find their dream homes in the countryside. He has been my favorite to watch. On March 23, 2021 my heart stopped and I quit breathing. I had what is called an out-of-hospital Sudden Cardiac Arrest. Without warning you drop and lose consciousness. I was clinically dead for 18 minutes. When paramedics reached me I was cyanic (blue) and fully coded. They worked on me with CPR and AED shocks for an hour then transported me to a heart hospital 30 miles away (we had recently moved out to the country) where the ER worked on me for two more hours. Because of being without a pulse or respiration I have what is called an acquired brain injury so my memory is pretty well shot. People that survive not only an out-of-hospital Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) but also survive being discharged from the hospital are very rare - about 8% will survive. There is a Survivors group on FB that I am a member of with people from the UK, USA, Australia, and all over. We learn more from each other's experiences than we do from our medical teams. Because of my SCA I have a new perspective on life - when you code and go through something like this you come back different from before. You may look the same, but you're not. Dying was the easy part, living now with all of the changes your body experienced physically and mentally is a huge pain to deal with. Life goes on thankfully and I am blessed and thankful to have more time with family and friends. I have come to Alistair's site for calmness and learning, and meeting others who care deeply about changing their lives for the better through his teachings. I look forward to all I can learn and feel from Alistair and what others share. Thank you for allowing me to join this marvelous community.

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

Colette wrote asking if we might remember her friend's son as they go into chemotherapy: "Please can you make prayers for my friend Adele''s  10 year old son Reuben Levi who has Leukaemia and will be undergoing intense Chemotherapy in a weeks time and will  be  at risk of dying.Please can you also pray for his mum Adele and dad Dave to have strength through this very difficult time."

Hello everyone, just to let you know that I'm off on retreat to Holy Island for the next two weeks. So please do welcome anyone who joins and re-assure them that I'll be more present after the 11th July! Sending you lots of Island blessing!

I couldn't have received a better Mothers Day present than this beautiful garden ornament. My daughter knows how much my garden and my meditation mean to me , so thoughtful. The tranquil expression on his face is wonderful. I hope to find him an equally tranquil space for him to rest in little garden.♥️🙏
