Thanks for these suggestions, TaG22. I'm on it. I teach positive psychology classes so I can launch a list of practices, like gratitude, that people can get in the habit of doing that will cultivate happiness under any conditions.
Perfect, Jeanne. I know several people on this site seem to be struggling a bit. Anything to lift spirits will be greatly appreciated.
Oh, hey, we already have a topic called The Power of Gratitude, that I started last March. But there's more we can do.
Here's a start on Positive Psychology skills. if we all try just one of them once a day, we are going to rise. https://www.jeannemayell.com/community/how-to-cope-and-even-thrive-in-difficult-times/positive-psychology-habits-that-will-strengthen-your-heart-and-make-you-a-happier-person/#post-8420
Vestralux, the astrological coordination with tarot would be of interest to me as well. I listen to quite a few astrological videos & have found them to be very accurate predicting the large scale political climate--less so on a personal level. Tarot would add a refining touch. R1
R1, Jeanne created a thread on this for us! As of now, you'll find it here:
Earlier today I had my first astrological reading in 21 years. I'm a fan of the evolutionary astrology perspective, so I went with a wonderful reader in that ilk (who also posts regular videos, in fact). It was a healing experience for me. Can't recommend it enough.
how's about a music section? Would anyone be interested ? i know it seems off-topic, but it might be fun to hear what turns up?
Unk P.
A lot of us hear music as we meditate or we hear specific word phrasing that appears to be giving us symbolic symbols or imagery.
These can be really helpful in providing individual interpretation or understandings that what we, or others, are picking up from the collective consciousness as we meditate or get intuitive flashes.
I always click on "unread posts when I visit this forum so I won't miss anything anyone else has to say. And its amazing really just how much music, books, stories or mythology is in our writings.
They can really tell us or mean a lot to us. Often those extras are embedded in a lot of our posts here. Those sections that are woven into our duscussions tie pieces of thoughts together, or even trigger them in others.
We've tried individual favorite books or poem sections as I recall, but the sections didn't catch on much. So, I like to just incorporate favorites memories or meaning everywhere I write. And that can include music or links to music, too.
I do love it when readers weave in titles or words of songs or poems or quotes from books, or even things we've learned from all of these.
Every comment, every new idea anyone has enriches the rest if us and you have reminded me of my own love of music and how much it adds to my meditative and healing experiences.
Recentjy, when Bluebelle shared the words from Simon and Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence", it was awesone how much that song touched so many of us in our lifetime, so I know music is tied into our psyche and psychic beings.
(After all, our orbiting unmanned space crafts were even programmed to play sounds as a hopeful method of communication!)
Join any thread and share music or words move you and share their you tube links in posts anytime. I know Vestrkux and others have done that and it all adds a special spark to our posts, our reading of posts, and this forum!
As do you ? !
Michele, thank you for mentioning that you can click "unread posts." Had no idea! (Haven't spent enough time exploring the forum, clearly.) Second, I appreciate you so: your goodness and kindness and generosity of spirit. Tis all. ?
