I LOVE THAT! i've been working on different breathing techniques to help relax me but nothing seem to work as well as your guided meditations. even when i'm not using the guided...the voice in my head repeats the words you'd usually say :) thank you for sharing so much with so many! i would love to participate in a board or chat or anything you decided to create. i listen to my scripture and then meditate and i’ve found it works well at making my day not so hectic. some days i know i SHOULD but i don’t feel like…being able to connect with others on a board..to feel encouraged…i think would benefit us all. i rarely trust others to influence my thinking…if everyone is going right count on me to go left…but i’ve found your voice and your intent to be purely in the interest of the person listening.

I'm so glad you've rediscovered the relaxation and good feeling meditation can bring. To me, that's what spirituality is about -- the joy in being alive. Anytime meditation becomes a "spiritual obligation" it's good to approach it from a new angle. Good news, Regina! I’m so glad you’ve rediscovered the relaxation and good feeling meditation can bring.

It had become a "spiritual obligation" to meditate and I merely forgot that it can be so relaxing and even "fun" in the sense of feeling good physically. If it had not been for my new I-pod, I wouldn´t have found you. Love Regina, Germany I would like to tell you that your meditation “Letting go” helped me very much with my dead end. It had become a “spiritual obligation” to meditate and I merely forgot that it can be so relaxing and even “fun” in the sense of feeling good physically.

I just came across this post. The Sangha at Plumline has been enjoying your guided meditations for many weeks now. We start our meetings with a 20 minute meditation followed by discussion. I think your meditations would fit comfortably in Plum Village, where Thich Nhat Hanh lives and teaches. I would like to invite you to stop in visit one of our meetings. They are very relaxed and simple. We are not too fixed on any particular philosophy. The format of our discussion is described on the Plum Village web site http://www.plumvillage.org/HTML/practice/html/dharmaDiscussion.htm If you are interested. please email me. We all thanked you today and sent some loving kindness your way. Peace Greetings Mary!

A quick look tells me they have a forum -- something we're thinking of adding. Will spend a little more time with their website to learn more. Thanks for the reference, Mike.

Although the content is specific to a particular tradition, the format is an interesting example of creating community online. Have you looked at http://www.treeleaf.org?
