Mindfulness group was about imagination being more important than knowledge, because knowledge is limited and imagination is limitless. (Paraphrasing a quote from Einstein.) #Mindfulness #NewThought

Mindfulness group was about grief: physical life must end, but love does not. #mindfulness #NewThought

Mindfulness group was about being in the right place at the right time. I mentioned a book I really like: Wherever You Go, there you Are. #Mindfulness #NewThought

Mindfulness group was about taking the time to appreciate life, as dogs do. They don’t worry about how they’re seen by others; they’re not worried about tomorrow. They can just be in the moment, and so can we humans. #mindfulness #NewThought

Mindfulness group was about being a part of something bigger than myself, whether that is family, culture, or Nature. #NewThought #Mindfulness

I have my mindfulness group in about 45 minutes. Embarrassingly, I utterly forgot about it last week. These are people I've known for years. I must have gotten worked up about some rabbit-hole or other. LOL #mindfulness #newthought

Just finished with the weekly mindfulness group. This month’s readings are about curiosity. My favorite idea: curiosity may have killed the cat, but it also made her life interesting. (attributed to the character George Hammond from SG1) #Mindfulness #NewThought

My very worst bad habit was always putting myself down. People want to tell me about all the things that are time-wasters, but that is by far the worst. Still working on it, though much much better now. #Mindfulness #NewThought #SelfCare

The mindfulness meeting went wonderfully, as usual. The title of our reading was “The Tao of George the Curious”. LOL #Mindfulness #NewThought #curiosity

Right off, it's triggering for the religious trauma. Too reminiscent of the religious belief i left too late. I'm a skeptic. But my squeamishness also comes from how the law of attraction is centered on that wealth worship aspect of our culture that made me take a hard anti-capitalist turn myself.

I think positive thinking can improve things in health/life, but the law of attraction is bullshit.

It feels a little like folks work backwards to justify what amounts to good luck, privelige, & some skill maybe & make it seem like they created this success whole cloth. They have a need to prove they "deserve" what they have. Systemic inequality, brain chemistry, etc disappears or is nonexistent in their world. They blame poor people for their condition and we're back at a run of the mill cruel, selfish conservative ideology.

once a week, I meet on Zoom with a group of people from my #NewThought church, and we discuss a reading about #Mindfulness . This is like a recharge for me every week, and we meet #Today .

Where does the #NewThought #LawOfAttraction #Manifestation community hang out in the Fediverse?

Reading a book by a problematic author where he calls #Swedenborg the grandfather of #NewThought. And he is right.

My love of #Swedenborg and the #transcendentalists is what led to my love of #NewThought. I have cited folks like Ernest Holmes and Rev. Ike in my theology papers.
