Meditation is not only for quieting and relaxing the mind.  It is for creating what you want in life.  Meditation makes this possible by helping you to have a clearer intention and to use your attention more effectively.  When you have a clear intention that is positively aligned with others' benefit, your energy is strong and focused, your intention will have a greater resonance not only with other people but also with the responsive universe itself.

We set the wise intention to notice the habits of unskillful (and destructive) thoughts, feelings and behaviors that drive us to suffering. We set the intention to allow them to be as they are in this moment - however they are - without attachment, without resistance and without causing more harm. We set the intention to remember that everything is impermanent, that our suffering can and will end to the extent that we practice; and that loving-kindness is the nearest refuge when we miss our mark …

Hi all, As a divorced baby boomer thinking about retirement I'm interested in finding an alternative to living alone or in a high-rise retirement building. An alternative that allows several women to live together and have separate 1-2 bedroomn apartments while also sharing some common space like kitchen, dining, deck, garden, craft/art studio space, etc. for enjoying each others company. The research I've done shows that co-housing communities tend to be expensive and they often have long w …

And it is an invaluable and transformative tool for Self-awareness, Self-realization and Self-actualization.

I'm a young, first time mom and I've recently decided to stay at home with my 7month old son. I'm the first in my circle of friends to have kids so I'm hoping to connect with other moms who like to get out and have fun (with or without the kids) and be active. There are lots of existing groups out there but I want this group to cater to the mama who would never call herself cool-- but definitely is, the mama who has every intention of putting on make-up and that cute pair of heels even if just t …

Once upon a time… in the realm of business and referral networking, ten business professionals found themselves unhappy. These ten men and women (let’s just call them the Ten) had developed trusted relationships with one another through their participation in other networking groups and couldn’t help but feel as though something was missing. So much so, that one day, whilst sitting at a somewhat ...roundish table, the Ten decided to try and name these culprits that were causing feelings of great …

Defining the word "meditation" doesn't mean anything in and of itself. What's important about meditation is the act of choosing to take time to focus with intention. Meditation is simply about being present in the current moment with our full awareness. Our group will use energy principles to practice meditation for relieving stress in your mind, connecting deeper with yourself or for any other purpose you may choose. Having the power to change your every moment and create what you want in your …

Greetings to you all, This group give you an opportunity to receive messages from the spiritual realm. You have spirit guides and helpers that are waiting for you to listen to what they have to say. Far to many times we ask the spirits questions that we think are important, instead of first listening to what the spirits wants to tell us. To get the best outcome and to tap into what we really need will always require us to listen to the answers and guidance of the spirits first, than ask the ques …

The purpose of this meetup is to have a Blast! To that end, we're creating art, making photographs and telling stories -- hopefully the kind that won't get you in trouble, but leaves a lasting impression. The Meetup will offer many opportunities to not learn about improving upon your art. Technics and the basics of photography will also be visited in workshops as well as excursions. Art, and I believe art is photography, should be limitless. BUT, I do not promote art that supports violence or di …

I have to believe in a world outside my own mind. I have to believe that my actions still have meaning, even if I can't remember them. I have to believe that when my eyes are closed, the world's still there. Do I believe the world's still there? Is it still out there? … Yeah. We all need mirrors to remind ourselves who we are. I'm no different. (Memento, 2000) No matter what anyone tells you - words and ideas can change the world. (Dead Poets Society, 1989) See, Mr. Gitts, most people never have …

We are a group branching off from the Natural Mamas in Silver Spring Working Together Communally group, to create a similar community here in Alexandria. Right now, we are in the formation stage and will be planning a meetup for discussion and intention-setting. As a starting point, here is a relevant excerpt from the Silver Spring group's description: "This is for moms and dads who feel they and their child are missing out on something by being alone most of the time, and want more than just th …
