Miss_Cellaneous: I always used to fly with Jet2 from Manchester to Murcia or Alicante. Then I tried Ryanair as Jet2 stopped flying to and from Murcia sooner than Ryanair as Murcia Airport was closing ( It was just a small military airport) I found Ryanair to be just as good as Jet2, but you couldn't have as much baggage weight as Jet2. If it hadn't had been for Ryanair, I wouldn't have been able to fly back to my apt in Spain in January 2021 to pack up my belongings, then get the next available flight back to the Uk, 3 weeks later and very cheap flights too. I have nothing but admiration for Ryanair, as least they kept flights going "when allowed" when all others stopped flying and before anyone says it's about the money, yet it is but they kept on going and the flights were very cheap considering there were only around 50 passengers on the plane due to having to have a good reason why you were flying. Luckily for me, I had my Spanish Residentia so was allowed to fly back to Spain. So kudos to Ryanair and long may you continue to fly

Not many Airlines have "In flight Entertainment" on short haul flights these days. I don't need "in flight" entertainment for a 2 and a half hour flight Crickey, if people find the seats uncomfortable, get up and move about, I don't even sit in my computer chair or settee for 2 hours

As for other Airlines. I've always flown with what used to be US Airways, now known as American Airlines. I've been on a couple of flights were the "on line entertainment TV" wasn't even working but the flight was "full" so no spare seats available and it's an 8 hour flight. Day flight going there, overnight flight coming back. I would still fly with them again. I'm easy to please
I liked Peoples express. They were bought up and cancelled by big corp.

d4nI314: Hmmm...but we are never separated.
And the connection is never really lost.

Meditate...disconnect from this reality for a few minutes, and still the mind...
yes, but:


Sometimes there's no time for that. mumbling

Practice makes perfect. ooohhhmmmmm angel

hmmm 'woke' originally had roots in race issues. Here in the usa and other countries ‘Woke’ is a word found in social media and news media --- "being used as praise, but far more commonly as an insult, depending on the situation."

Piers Morgan recently labeled Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ‘woke Pinocchios’

Adil Ray said he doesn’t think Citizen Khan could be made today because it ‘wouldn’t pass woke test’.

Thanks. Normally I don't follow much mainstream media or social media but I can understand how an originally beneficial term and hence its origins and derivations, can get 'turned' to ugly by media for its own purpose.

BB... there's always a moment...
Maybe when waking up?dunno

Whenever I try before going to sleep, I usually fall asleep.yawn

Meditating doesn't necessarily mean to sit or lie still...
It can be done when walking in nature and connecting with mother earth.

Or...when doing some artwork...dancing...playing music..

Oh yes. I have a regular , daily, hour long practice and I also ground as often as possible. That is quite difficult when it is -10 outside with a half metre of snow on the ground. I love to sun gaze as well when possible; but, sunsets and sunrises are not as plentiful as I would like in this area.

I do meditate a lot, hence the fear- of losing this connection (which I know is impossible) because of normal human distractions and concoctions of pseudo reality that I can get wrapped up in.

There you are. It is not as bad as you make out dunno

It must be nice to meditate in the snow?
I used to ski when living in Germany, and also ice skate, so I'm used to very low temperatures.

I also did almost 18 months of daily sungazing, reaching 40 mn.

But the beach really does it for me, doing Tai chi, or just sitting. No distractions there.

I know the feeling.
We also have overcast days here where sungazing is not possible.
Hence the time it took me to reach 40mn.

Yes. It's less time if you wake early for a chance to catch sunrise in case sunset clouds over. smitten

That so many people dont wanna see or find out: what is really going on in this world.
Or that they just accept how it is and how life will become.
