Types of Meditation

I can do 5 or 5.30 UK time Monday.

Yep, that is indeed what I was trying to say. It would also be a nice way to understand people's preferences and teachers.

I can also do 5 or 5:30 UK time. Let's see if anyone else can join and decide the time. Yay! Thanks again @SmellyBin. ❤️

So @SmellyBin and I meditate some time between 5 and 5:30 UK time tomorrow. I hope others can join us.

This is the meditation I will do. I love this! This is "6-minute Grounding for Anxiety and Dissociation" by Daniel Madarasz. It is available for free to everyone online on the Insight Timer website here:

And here is more detailed information...

Glad you were there @StarryEyed

StarryEyed

Me too, @SmellyBin. Me too. ❤️

@Rachel_Scope did you join in a meditation yesterday? @Holly_Scope did you? I'm thinking it might be a better idea to have a two-hour window, rather than a specific time.

Rachel_Scope

So sorry, I forgot to reply yesterday. I couldn't make it yesterday as I don't finish work until 6pm and then my daughter doesn't go to bed until 7:30pm. If you share the meditation you're doing I'll just do it later the same day 😊 It'll be lovely to meditate 'together'.

Good idea to set a day. I prefer that.

Holly_Scope

I didn't either yesterday @StarryEyed but I think I'm going to watch your grounding video after work tonight. I think it's going to be really helpful 💛

StarryEyed

Oh I hope you like it @Holly_Scope. I love it! Maybe you'll even love it too 😊

Holly_Scope

I really enjoyed this one @StarryEyed. I'm going to do it again later. Thank you for sharing.

Oh what fabulous news. Yay! You're most welcome. It's something I repeat too. It's enjoyable both with and without headset/earbuds.

@SmellyBin, what do you think about setting a day aside? We can set a time too for that day. For example, how about next Tuesday the 21st? I can do any time in the evening as I'm home that day. Does that work?

SmellyBin

Does anyone want to sit together again? One of these days?

This Sunday one of my fav mindfulness teachers Jill Satterfield is guiding a free session. She herself has had her fair share of suffering with her health. UK time 7, EU time 8. More info here.

Rachel_Scope

I've love to join you @SmellyBin. What day is good for you?

SmellyBin

Ha @Rachel_Scope that sounds lovely. Most days I can join, preferably around 5 UK time? But suggestions for another moment are welcome.

Rachel_Scope

The earliest I could do is 7:30pm UK time as I need to put my daughter to bed. If that's too late though it'll still be good to have done it on the same day 😊

Agree, the same day still has that feel of not doing it on your own, right? What day would work for you? And perhaps there are others for who this is a convenient time?

Rachel_Scope

I could do tomorrow (Wednesday) or Monday.

SmellyBin

Let's aim for both. I'll be there 🪷
