Hi Everyone, And a big welcome to all the new members who joined over the weekend and this week! 👋 I’ll get the usual notes out of the way first before sharing what’s new and what’s coming up inside the community. Meditation Calendar & Accountability: The default meditation slots on the calendar can always be added to. If you enjoy meditating with others (even electronically!) and would like some accountability, please send over any time slots that work well for you and I’ll add them to the calendar. If I can’t make those times, others in the group might be able to — so feel free to share. Everyone’s routine is different. Some people like meditating before bed around 21:00, while others prefer to be feet up with a cuppa (or wine) watching Netflix at that time. So if you have any preferences for meditation times on different days, just let me know and we’ll build the schedule around what works best for the group. Coffee Morning & Onboarding: For anyone who would like to meet or have a private onboarding chat about everything that’s available in the community (and a peek into the other tiers), feel free to come along to the Coffee Morning if you can. If that time doesn’t work, just suggest another time and we’ll arrange another slot. Q&A Sessions: The live Q&A session is usually on Fridays, but if other times suit people better, please shout and I’ll include them where my diary allows. Upcoming Online Qigong Presentation: I’m also planning to run an online Qigong presentation where we’ll explore the history, roots, and energetic principles of Qigong. This will be a more educational session looking at where these practices come from, how they evolved through Daoist traditions, and how the energetic principles behind Qigong actually work. I’m currently considering a few possible times: • Friday 20th March — mid afternoon • Sunday 22nd March — 13:00 • Friday 3rd April — 15:00 If you’re interested in attending, please let me know in the community and which of these dates works best for you.

Morning Everyone, Hope you are well - welcome to all the new people! There is the usual Coffee Morning and Qigong (VIP only) and Meditation slot this Sunday - so anyone new who would like to say hi and get onboarded and shown around, and have the tiers explained to them, then pop on at 10:30am would be great to meet you. There is also a Meditation slot is at 12:30 too :) Next week for me to host the Meditation slots will be limited as a couple of us on the Premium tier are going on a Silent Meditation Retreat Fri-Sun so you won't see or hear a peep out of me. But if you guys& girls would like to have any zoom times or slots to log into to aid accountability and practice - then please let me know before Friday and i'll set up the links. Also if any of you are interested in a weekend Silent Retreat later in the year - then reach out and i'll let you know the times, location and cost etc (these are in the UK - for our friends you have joined from other countries). New Article is up - The Moment the Object Falls Away. I'll post the intro paragraphs below: "In the beginning of practice, we often use a single point of focus — the breath, a mantra, counting beads— to gather the mind and stabilise attention. But as practice matures, something subtle and deeply beautiful begins to happen. You forget to count. You forget to follow the breath. You forget the mantra. And yet…you are still unmistakably present. There is awareness, without effort.Being, without doing.Presence, without trying to be present. This marks a profound turning point in your meditation. The Disappearance of the Meditator All traditions describe this moment, each in their own language............(to read the rest go to CLASSROOM/STANDARD/ARTICLES. Have a great weekend - and as usual shout me with any questions to help your practice, spirituality and/or Qigong. Best, Miles
