Hi, like many here I'm guessing I am in the process of detangling myself from the grips of oligarch technology bro's. Nice to be here! Hoping to find and follow fellow yogis, artists, creative, designers, gardeners, people looking out for each other and the planet.

a painting of a golden retriever, seen from its chest up, looking to the right, blue and purple tones swirling behind it

a painting of orange and white and black spotted koi fish, seen from above, swimming in deep blue waters, done in an impressionist style

a painting, it is a blue meditating face , the eyes closed, tan on either side mixing with blues and golds, a red flower at the bottom center rising up

a painting, a still life, a blue vase of flowers on a light brown table, a naples yellow background, the flowers blue and purple

Es gibt da diese buddhistische Meditation der liebevollen Güte. Den letzten Teil widme ich Friedrich Merz und Carsten Linnemann.

Mögen sie sicher sein.
Mögen sie gesund sein.
Mögen sie glücklich sein.
Mögen sie ein Leben in Leichtigkeit führen.

Von "Mögen sie regieren" steht da ja nix.

How to Train a Happy Mind: A Skeptic's Path to Enlightenment Scott Snibbe, 2024

Eager to share the life-enhancing benefits he found in Buddhism, skeptic Scott Snibbe presents this 8-step programme that allows anyone to build positive mental habits. Inspired by the ancient Buddhist path to enlightenment.

How to Train a Happy Mind is the first mainstream book to show how you can achieve happiness using analytical meditation. Working in much the same way as cognitive behavioural therapy, analytical meditation goes beyond the calm-inducing practice of mindfulness to actively train the brain through easy-to-follow narrative visualizations.
Breaking the path down into concise steps and written in a relatable tone with plenty of references to popular culture, this is the ideal book if you recognize your mind as both the source of your problems and the source of your solutions.

Any good meditation apps that are very low price? I can't afford Headspace at the moment (which I used and loved once upon a time). I need to calm my brain, and get my concentration back. I also can't do it on my own.... yet. That will come back.

Sasu reviewed The Magician of Lhasa by David Michie (Matt Lester, #1)

David Michie: The Magician of Lhasa (AudiobookFormat, 2021, Bolinda Audio)

When novice monk Tenzin Dorje is told by his lama that the Red Army is …

Slow Start, then Exciting and Inspiring

3 stars

Content warning Some low-detail discussion of plot structur

I thought I'd give this one a try because I liked David Michie's Instant Karma so much.

The Magician of Lhasa was a bit slow to get started for me and if I hadn't been quite sure that what I was looking for was very likely to show up later, I probably wouldn't have kept at it so long and likely would have put the book down. Now having read the whole thing I understand that the slow start does a good job of setting things up for later developments, I still think that the beginning could have been tightened up a fair bit without sacrificing the necessary foundation building. There is also a bit of awkward phrasing which charms at the same time as it distracts a bit from the story.

After all that complaining, I should say that I still really liked the book and am glad to have spent time with it. It's less of an overt teaching book when I compare it to Instant Karma, but what it does even better than Instant Karma does is to build towards a more insightful and expansive revelation at the climax, which reveals the story as a whole to be a teaching device supportive of inspiration and a change in perspective.

A definite recommendation for anyone interested in Buddhism or Tibet or both. I'm looking forward to the sequel.

For anybody who needs support to stop spiralling these days, here is my current favourite active meditation practice for lefties. Kristianna Smith aka Mocha Einstein offers "Grieve, Ground, Imagine, Strategize". Gently redirect that anxiety spiral into forward momentum.

Hi all, I'm new here at #FlippingRocks so it's time for an updated #introduction

I'm very much into #yoga and #meditation and everything related to that. I'm trying to learn #Sanskrit because its a beautiful language and also in order to be able to read text like the #BhagavadGita #Upanishads #YogaSutras which greatly inspire me.

I'm from the #Netherlands and work in #science in the field of #AirQuality I may occasionally share something about that, but this is not a work account (and any opinions are my own).

I love #photography , mostly related to #nature #weather #clouds
I try to make a trip to the #forest at least every weekend, I'm lucky to live at the edge of the #Veluwe nature area.

I love growing food in my #garden using #organic #permaculture and #RegenerativeAgriculture inspired methods, I'm dreaming of tending my own #FoodForest some day.

Unfortunately I'm operating at half power thanks to #LongCovid since Feb. '22.

I'll mainly post in English with some posts in Dutch as well. Unpinned toots will be deleted after 3 months, I only boost photos with alt text (feel free to let me know if I've forgotten to add it!).

Let me know if you have similar interests and I'll be happy to chat!
