Congrats on your new furry master, Mountains. I am sure he will have you well trained in no time at all. ;)

People are bad news, so it is better to avoid them and focus on activities like music, painting, meditation, in short, activities which may to an extent limit social interaction. Being alone is a necessity; I can't even imagine otherwise. It's scary…

I wear a mala on my left wrist to keep me mindful - so far I have stopped biting my nails (a life-long habit) & swear far less because of the mala. :)

So thats why my Green tea tastes so bitter, :crazy: May I suggest you brew your green tea for less time? I have discovered that if green/blue is bitter then it is usually because it has been steeped/brewed for too long. I find if I brew it for les…

This quote seems pertinent to this thread: "I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid o…

thank you wondering seeker, that was what i was referring to. Seriously, drugs in the wrong hands lead to dark places like tonight for example, i nearly died. Because 2 nights ago I basically doubled my dose of benzos, tonight I suddenly was overcom…

does anybody know any drug rehabs in ha hin thailand or close to.... I think somebody posted in a different thread, but I cannot find it. :/ I am not sure if this was what you were referring to, Tom? I posted the link in another of your threads a…

here's the document I promised everyone.... Thank you very much for adding this. It is a very interesting read.

Completed. :)

I wonder if those who follow the teachings of The Secret aka The Law of Attraction actually ever stop & spend time in the now? It seems to me that with all that striving you're always looking for a future (a "better" future at that) which must m…

Oh dear. Is it bad that I read the thread title with some horror? :hiding: Even the thought of being forcibly removed from my gadgets brings me out in a cold sweat - I love my gadgets & I am currently sat in my work office with the work PC, iP…

Wow. That's one flash mob I would love to have been caught in the middle of. Thank you for sharing it, Genkaku.

I think it is natural to express concern for the welfare of someone who is on a self-destructive binge of drugs & alcohol & who, by their own admission, does not care. :( I just have as much valium as I want basically and recently have been…

I was just wondering how you are doing now, Tom?

Maybe you might consider this option? http://www.thamkrabok.net/html/treatment.html

I find this whole debate very interesting. It is certainly a moral mindfield & I also think that theory is very, very different to practice. There have been some excellent points raised, both for & against euthanasia & there are no def…

Would it have been this one, Fede? :) Willing Your Mind to Happiness. By Colleen O'Connor Denver Post Staff Writer Article Launched: 6/04/2006 http://psyphz.psych.wisc.edu/web/News/denver_post_6-4-06.html

If you have your eyes closed in public while waiting for something it is possible that some people will assume you are praying anyway since the US is considered to be a "Christian Nation". ;) It is certainly the case here in the UK. Even with all th…

I know everyone seems to have different opinions on malas (depending on traditions I guess?) but I found this youtube video by Tsem Tulku Rinpoche very interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHdbLJo2kPs I hope it is ok to post a link to it? :…

Not sure how other people will view this but have you read "The Mindful Way Through Depression" by Jon Kabbat-Zinn et al? It is widely available. It is an excellent book, based on scientific principles of depression & meditation/mindfulness. It …

You could always say you are resting your eyes. That way you are not introducing the word "meditation" if you think it will cause you & them distress because of the religious connotations but it is accurate. :)

:wavey: Hello from a slightly shy new UK member. My username is somewhat apt for me at the moment. I am wondering about lots of things in life & seeking a "way" which feels right for me. Currently I am trying to read lots of information to get…
