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.
Thats fully understandable with the heath issue sgoing on in your family, MY thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time
I am glad you have found the Meditation group and are feeling some support from it

@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.

Its the least I can do having been through similar situations I know how hard stressful and tiring it can be

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!

thank you for the beautiful comment.. I think opening up is the solution. I am working on it. :)

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.
!tip
Yes, absolutely agree with you. Empathy is in our nature.
And thank you - really good to hear and know that it has been helpful.

I know it is hard in the midst of sorrows, but I try to still carve out even the smallest of pleasure just to keep me going. Good thoughts to you.
thank you thoughts make a difference... my husband even asked me if someone made a voodoo doll and was sticking pins in me... Good idea about the pleasure of life. :)

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.
Life has been getting in the way for me too. Every time I think things are in the clear something else comes up. Thank you for your compliments!

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 seemed to have forgotten that. Thanks for the reminder and beautiful comment.

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
@riverflows may you all be blessed for the great initiative with all the different sections ... soon I will explore these too. I know you too with your Father have felt the pull of the unknown. Together we will all become stronger.

Howdy rebeccabe! So sorry to hear about the news with family members but I'm glad the meditation group is so helpful. Thanks for letting everyone know.
Thanks for your kind words. I always enjoy hearing from you @janton as you have known I to am Texan even though I moved away.
!tip
Howdy again rebeccabe! oh I know, I would never forget that and thanks so much for the tip! Steemit will be here whenever you have time to post again or chat but you're a strong woman and I know your family needs your strength at this time.
@janton thanks for support.

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 looked or you yesterday. I know some days are more available than others. Sorry about your loss. We miss those that depart before us. Please do join us for meditation. Each time it becomes more powerful to meditate with the Steemit group.

Aww. I was wondering where were you. I hope you will get better soon my lovely. Meditation is very good for the soul. I will check out the Discord, but I am so darn busy at this time, never home. Sending lots of love your way 🥰
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
