Are you a meditator wishing to connect to others or strengthen your practice in a group setting? On Wednesday May 1, we're having our very first group sitting in Discord, and we'd love for you to join us!
Mindful Life is a space within Natural Medicine whose aims are:
โข To unite meditators across the Steem blockchain so that we can share and strengthen our own practices
โข To provide a space to discuss the philosophy, science and practical application of such practices in our lives
โข To inspire and motivate each other
โข To provide support if we might be struggling, connecting with like minded people who might offer solutions
Entry is minimum 20 SP for those under 500SP, and 50SP + for those with a bit more. This makes you a full member of @naturalmedicine and all it's benefits. It's free for those under 100 SP.
However, if you're just planning to come for the meditation to see what it's like and then leave again, that's fine too - in these situations, entry is 2 Steem - please make sure you let @riverflows know the day before as the time for her will be 6 am, so she DEFINITELY won't be making people members at the last minute!
Funds are used to continue these offerings, offer upvotes and challenges, and support Steemfolk as best as we can.
Time

5 pm AST
12 pm PST
6 am AEST (Thursday)
Try to arrive 5 - 10 minutes early so that you have any technical issues sorted out before we start promptly.
We know this time might not suit everyone, but that's okay - we plan to run a second one shortly afterwards, possibly on the weekend.
Do I Need to Be An Experienced Meditator?
No! It'll be a simple breath meditation (anapana) and we anticipate Steemians without experience. It'll be largely about creating calm and peace within, so breath meditation is PERFECT for that.
- 10 minutes - Welcome and brief guidance to the meditation session
- 5 minutes โ Quick Q & A (question related to the guidance)
- 35 minutes โ Breath meditation
- 10 minutes โ Q & A related to the technique/guidance
Our host is happy to discuss further on the technique or meditation in general after 9pm on our #mindful-chat subchannel, if you'd like to jump on voice or ask questions in the chat.
Who is Hosting?
@riverflows will be there to help, but @bewithbreath is your host. Check out the interview with him (5 Questions) tomorrow! He's an experienced meditator with deep compassion and much passion! His bio in Natural Medicine reads:
The world sees @BeWithBreath as a 40 odd years old smiley - father to two gorgeous kids and husband to an unconditionally loving wife. He is a devout meditator (primarily Vipasanna meditation but also practice techniques by Sadhguru, EckhartTolle, Osho & many others). I love sharing & learning about meditative experience. Hope we can meditate together regularly as a group in a virtual Meditation Hall, here, soon.
Originally from Nepal, birthplace of Buddha & land of mount Everest, he has been in the UK for nearly 2 decades. He also knows thing or two about medication for mental health as thatโs how he makes his living. He is extremely grateful for everything life has offered him. He hopes to learn from everyone here in the community and will endeavour to contribute his part in anyway he can. Letโs grow together in wisdom! From a sentient being in the journey to realize the truth of Anicca (Impermanence) & Anata (no self).
Will you make May 1? We'd love to have you!
