Tura Brezoianu: hi Ewan
Tura Brezoianu: I wasn'r sure if there was a meeting today
Ewan Bonham: Hi Tura
Ewan Bonham: I am not able to sit down for some reason...:)
Ewan Bonham: Funny, there were only a few seats that allowed me to sit.
Tura Brezoianu: hi Riddle
Riddle Sideways: rez issues
Riddle Sideways: am I ruthed?
Riddle Sideways: or cloud?
Tura Brezoianu: I see you
Tura Brezoianu: New skin?
Ewan Bonham: hi Riddle... I see you fine
Riddle Sideways: oh well, being cloudy is rather today's theme
Riddle Sideways: will stay with it
Ewan Bonham: OK... it is past the start time, so I will begin

Ewan Bonham: Today is the last lesson on Mindfulness that I have prepared for this group.
Ewan Bonham: What I suggest is that we rotate leadership in this group from next week onward..

Riddle Sideways: oh dear
Ewan Bonham: And each person in turn take an example of a Mindfulness exercise they have learned here or read about elsewhere..
Ewan Bonham: And try them out here..
Tura Brezoianu panics mindfully
Ewan Bonham: Lol... if it is something you practice at home or elsewhere, you can just share what you do.
Riddle Sideways: QT is online
Ewan Bonham: i will be here as a participant and will take my turn when I come up..
Ewan Bonham: But I do believe we learn best what we teach.
Ewan Bonham: And so this will give you the benefit of really learning about Mindful practice as you break it down into the steps that others can understand here..

Riddle Sideways: hi Qt
Qt Core: Hi all
Ewan Bonham: hi QT...:)
Ewan Bonham: I gave a copy of what I said to QT..
Ewan Bonham: OK, before we do the Mindfulness exercise for today, let's all check in and describe how we are doing in terms of immediate physical and bodily response to being in this moment..
Qt Core: scary as hell (and it suppose one has learned ;-)
Riddle Sideways: :))
--BELL--
Ewan Bonham: I can go first...

Ewan Bonham: My breathing is deep and my body generally feels relaxed. As i question myself on my relaxation, I realize I was true to myself in describing my convictions about sharing leadership responsibility in the group..
Ewan Bonham: I feel some relief.
Ewan Bonham: i feel more present as I realize how much I learn by doing...
Ewan Bonham: I look at each one of you... some strain has left me..
Ewan Bonham: done..
Ewan Bonham: Next person...
Riddle Sideways: raises hand
Ewan Bonham: please go ahead Riddle
Riddle Sideways: the anxiosity over the passing of leadership has unsettled any at ease
Riddle Sideways: but, deep full breathes helps
Riddle Sideways: now quieted back down
Riddle Sideways: and ready
Riddle Sideways: done
Ewan Bonham: Smile... you are taking care of yourself by first noticing your breath and then regulating it consciously...
Ewan Bonham: Nice..
Ewan Bonham: Next person...
Tura Brezoianu grabs the ball
Tura Brezoianu: I am feeling nervous about the idea of leading a session.
Tura Brezoianu: But putting that aside to think about later.
Tura Brezoianu: Coming back to being aware of my awareness
Tura Brezoianu: and sitting straighter
Tura Brezoianu: done
Qt Core: and last...
Ewan Bonham: It is good information for you to know that you will place this challenge in the right context when you are ready...
Ewan Bonham: Yes... QT?
Qt Core: i'm surprised at the idea and feel guilty as i just eat something i should have not, physically relaxed as i'm a little sleepy
Qt Core: wondering what i could ever do as mindfulness is something i usually stumble on not drive myself to

Ewan Bonham: So, now the dialogue has opened within you and you have time for the answers to come to you...
Ewan Bonham: OK... I will now begin the Mindfulness exercise for today...
Qt Core: at the most inappropriate moment as most answers do
--BELL--
Ewan Bonham: OK...

Ewan Bonham: Please sit straight and watch your breath... noticing how deep and at what pace it is..
Ewan Bonham: Consciously ask yourself if you are comfortable and adjust your sitting and your breath accordingly as this time becomes yours to live and keep..
Ewan Bonham: Now., place yourself in a familiar room in your life..
Ewan Bonham: Look around you and see the familiar objects..
Ewan Bonham: Notice the lighting..
Ewan Bonham: The shadows..
Ewan Bonham: The colors, forms and shapes which you have seen and passed by many times by now..
Sixtrix Resident: 's current display-name is "Six".
Ewan Bonham: Now let your gaze fall upon the doorway..
Ewan Bonham: Excuse my friend who has come to join us..
Ewan Bonham: See the details of the doorway...
Ewan Bonham: Feel what it is like to have an opeening in the room..
Ewan Bonham: Where things may come in and things may pass along..
Ewan Bonham: Now, take a few deep breaths and call upon Spirit to guide you in seeing the relevance how what is to come next..
Ewan Bonham: As you watch the doorway, you will notice a shadow approaching..
Ewan Bonham: At first, you can not make it out..
Ewan Bonham: As you look closer and the person starts to enter... you will see this person is quite familiar to you... although you may have never seen them before..
Ewan Bonham: look into the face and then the eyes of the individual as they eneter the room..
Ewan Bonham: You will know at once that this person is YOU... but YOU ... several years from now...
Ewan Bonham: You can tell by the subtle impressions..
Ewan Bonham: The familiar manerisms..
Ewan Bonham: As they approach, you see a familiar way of looking... familiar expression...
Ewan Bonham: This YOU is here to have a conversation with you..
Ewan Bonham: As you both settle in and look and feel each other's presence..
Ewan Bonham: You ask the older you...what has happened in the last many years..
Ewan Bonham: Without any strain... let yourself hear the answer that is spoken directly to you..
Ewan Bonham: To hear this answer... keep in mind... allow the answer to be heard by you..
Ewan Bonham: I will wait while you listen..

--BELL--
Ewan Bonham: Now, ask the older YOU... what you need to do to best get from where you are today to the place they are at..
Ewan Bonham: Are there any changes you need to make in yourself and relations?
Ewan Bonham: Are there challenges and things you need to discover to get from here to there?
Ewan Bonham: When you sense the answers from the older YOU... make sure you are clear in what you hear...
Ewan Bonham: You need niot do anything with the information now... just know it is there for you when you want to pull it up..
Ewan Bonham: take a few minutes to let this dialogue unfold... and when you are ready, come back here to this group and we can do some sharing..

Ewan Bonham: OK... I can share first..
Ewan Bonham: My older self was fully retired and very content..
Ewan Bonham: There was health and ample resources..
Ewan Bonham: There was also an unrushed quality in each day..
Ewan Bonham: Time to take care of myself..
Ewan Bonham: And time to devote to others..
Ewan Bonham: I was told, when i asked... that I need to keep myself healthy and very conscious in what I study each day..
Ewan Bonham: I need to have activities with others who are warm and loving with me..
Ewan Bonham: And let go of the stress of always having to 'succeed'..
Ewan Bonham: done..
Ewan Bonham: Any comments?
Ewan Bonham: If not, who is next?

Ewan Bonham: You can also elect to pass if you like..
Qt Core: me
Ewan Bonham: QT, please go ahead..
Qt Core: it didn't worked well for me as i put a face (and a hat) on that guy as soon as saw him and there were no way he would become me, when i pushed he just smirked patting my belly (maybe still having that guilty feelingabout the chips)
Qt Core: fir the records the guy was the late Terry pratched with his black hat
Ewan Bonham: OK... this may be an exercise that you could try again when you are ready...:)
Qt Core: *Pratchett
Qt Core: maybe
Ewan Bonham: meanwhile, you may want to dialogue with the man who entered the room and reminded you of what you ate...:)
--BELL--

Ewan Bonham: Who is next?
Riddle Sideways: :)
Riddle Sideways: mine?
Ewan Bonham: Ok, Riddle... please go ahead..
Riddle Sideways: when it starts with: "and call upon Spirit to guide you in seeing the relevance how what is to come next."
Riddle Sideways: there is going to be a signing of a blank check to ride the nice roller coaster that has not killed anybody today, yet.
Ewan Bonham: nod..
Riddle Sideways: Then Ewan took to a place that has been before. a few times
Riddle Sideways: and the first couple answers from the dead me were obvious and forced
Riddle Sideways: but then the real answer came
Ewan Bonham: Ah..
Riddle Sideways: and it had already been known
Riddle Sideways: for years
Riddle Sideways: and there is nothing needed be done, corrected, studied, etc. it is there
Riddle Sideways: done
Ewan Bonham: OK... Riddle... it sounds like you are on track... and more dialogue to come in your private place..
Ewan Bonham: Thank you for sharing what you did..

Ewan Bonham: Tura, what about you?
Tura Brezoianu: My older self is me without various strands of angst
Tura Brezoianu: who at every moment sees what I/we really want to be doing at every moment, and does it.
Tura Brezoianu: Paying attention to any nagging discomfort with a situation
Tura Brezoianu: looking at it squarely and deciding what to do
Tura Brezoianu: (like tearing myself away from unnecessary Facebook-broswing)
Tura Brezoianu: (or getting on with this or that project)
Tura Brezoianu: Every moment is an opportunity to practice the habit
Tura Brezoianu: of using the moment wisely.
Ewan Bonham: nod..
Tura Brezoianu: "A day is worth more than a king's crown"
Tura Brezoianu: if used well.
Tura Brezoianu: done
Ewan Bonham: Nice... so advancing is a string of moments used consciously..
Ewan Bonham: As you have comitted and practice doing..

Ewan Bonham: Six... you came later... do you have any comments to share?
Sixtrix Resident: Sorry if I interrupted anything by being late or catching just the end of the practice.
Sixtrix Resident: My exchange with myself was almost accusatory
Ewan Bonham: No apology needed... glad you could make it for the time you did..
Ewan Bonham: Sounds like continued dialogue may lead to better awareness and even some resolution...
Sixtrix Resident: Hopefully so.
Ewan Bonham: Nod..

Ewan Bonham: We are out of time... but before we go, two things:
Ewan Bonham: Any comments about this exercise for you?
Ewan Bonham: And who will facilitate next week?   
    [A Long silent pause  accured here]

Riddle Sideways: /waits to hear somebody else volunteer
Qt Core: hit by six experience i'm wondering if i could not get myself to speak to me in fear of a proper scolding
Ewan Bonham: Perhaps... but the good thing is... you have plenty of time... to get from here to there..
Tura Brezoianu: I would have to give it some thought...
Qt Core: dark thought... no one can guarantee it
--BELL--
Ewan Bonham: OK... I will be here and participate in whatever is presented..I think you all could do a fine job... based on your previous participation..
Ewan Bonham: OK... thank you all for your presence... hope to see you next week.
