About Me:

I read the Tao Te Ching around 15, then met some hippies living in rural MO who introduced me to Way of The White Clouds. This led to Trungpa's Myth of Freedom, etc. Fast forward 20 yrs and I started sitting with a group of Trungpa's students in PDX. I took refuge with a Sakya nun, and then Bodhisattva Vow with Jamgon Kongtrul just before his death. Unable to connect with Trungpa's regent/Shambhala, and practice stopped for 10 yrs. Reconnected with practice upon finding WUTYL. Learning to rest.

I suppose a desire to connect with sangha again.

Go to the body

The other night I had a very stong physical reaction to an encounter with old age, illness and death.

I've just started a job as a pharmacy technician. One part of the job, and one of the first steps in the process, is to enter prescriptions writen on paper into the computer database program we use to help manage the process of filling prescriptions. As you might guess, people waiting for their medications, often pain medication, would like to have their prescriptions completed as quickly as po… Continue

On another note, I was talking to one of my clients and Bowling Green Kentucky came in conversation, not a place name I hear about up here in Winnipeg very often.

However if I could get access to the webinar files and listen back afterwards that would be very helpful. It certainly was last Sunday. What do I have to do to arrange this?

I have skype. What do I need to do to connect with the group tonight.

At 10:17pm on August 29, 2008, Ken McLeod said…: In response to your interest in a class of the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, it's a good suggestion and I'll consider it. I'm currently thinking about what I'll be doing next on the internet, and in the fall.

I'd like to join the JTTWO group moderated by Ann Braun. Seems it meets on a Tuesday morning 0800 GMT which could be OK for me but I need to tweak Skype (I've got it but it's temperamental) and I need your Skype info please Ann, do I?

Greg. This sounds like a good idea. The Columbus group listened to the same podcasts and spent time practicing the methods that Ken teaches for releasing emotional reactions. We found the podcasts to be packed full of material and best processed slo…
