Mindful/conscious writing - Part 1 - Weekly mindfulness sessions Β· Mood Boost Mindful/conscious writing - Part 2 - Weekly mindfulness sessions Β· Mood Boost We had Wednesday evening cuppa at the new time of 7pm thanks to my son's guitar lesson. We talked about a window covering called Magnetite that can block winter draughts without blocking you view. I can't remember what else we covered while I was sitting in the car watching it get dark! During Monday morning cuppa we discussed collapsing the duality of so-called 'normal' life experience to experience oneness with the universe, and the imbalance in the world and ourselves between masculine and feminine (or left/right brain, emotional/logical, yin/yang). Mind-blowing stuff!
