Missing you guys!!!

My friends I have been going through some stormy seas due to life threatening illness involving two family members. There are other things going on too.

Things have been so difficult I even quit my job last month. It has been a month since my last post so I wanted to let you know what is going on.

Frankly, shutting myself off from the world. I do miss you guys and plan to crank out some posts and show some love to your posts too.

The one thing that has help get me back up on my feet and helped me moving forward is the meditations in the first Steemit Meditation group. They are held on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Each time the meditation gets better. The last one gave me so much peace I sat for longer looking at the wind blowing in the trees behind where I live and enjoyed the presence of the force within all beings.

The meditations are held in discord. There is a meditation chat room and then the Meditation Hall. I show up mute my mic and go within while guided by @bewithbreath out of London. The group continues to grow and is so healing. A big thank you to the group.

Here is a link with times and other information. Also @riverflows thank you for all the direction and help in the Natural Medicine Group.

No worries, my friend. I am sorry that sorrow is following you, but, don't shut yourself off, rather, open yourself up.

Which you are doing and I feel like this in itself is a healing balm for the soul. We miss you and your joyful self, so know that you are in my heart and we love you.

Thank you for being a wonderful part of #SteemUSA!

Things get bad, and then things get good again, and then things get bad again, all you have to do is wait

Sorry to hear that @rebeccabe. Life can give some difficult times but hope things will get better for you. Impermanence and equanimity can be easy concept to grab but very difficult to embody and times like these can be a great teacher into the impermanent nature of things. Sending live, prayers and strength - we are with you my friend 🧘🏼‍♂️🧘🏼‍♀️

so true.. the suffering of love ones can be the hardest.. I know pain happens and suffering is an option but I cannot stop their suffering it seems which creates a suffering in my mind. Besides I want to hold on and that is what creates the struggle in me.

Your last meditation was very healing for me. Know the work you do is very important to us.

@tattojay thanks for your thoughts and prayers. Everything will be all right it is just so hard to not be able to do anything. I feel better talking about it though. Yes, the meditations are so peaceful and allowed me to still feel connected to Steemit.

Thank you @rwdegis I hope to see your posts soon. You are one of the better photographers in here. At least to me. I love your work. I keep thinking of photography as an outlet ... some physical things going on too. Soon I will be well.
Knowing you cared enough to write this makes me feel happy.

I can really relate to this, as I had a family member very sick the last 2 years, you do what you need to do and look after yourself xx

I am so sorry you are sailing in rough seas at the moment. May you have strength to carry through. I am beyond happy that Mindful Life brings you peace. It is an utter pleasure to have brought this into Natutal Medicine but i cant take the credit... @bewithbreath has just been so passionate and amazing in bringing this to us all. Much love xx

Hey, @jaichai great quote... Without meditation, the world would be a very sad place for me. True peace is found within.

I am familiar with these stormy seas, with a recent death I am still coming to terms with.

Very curious to learn more about the first Steemit Meditation group. Thanks for the info!

I have promised myself to become more active in the Natural Medicine discord group and so far so good ;)

I am happy that you are finding your way through meditation. These times can be very trying and when we find ourselves lost and not knowing what to do, being still can actually do a lot. I hope and wish things will turn out for the better.

Sending you love and strength xxx
