Hello all,



With this craziness and being home alone I have been trying all kinds of things to help ease my depression and anxiety. There is an abundance of content on youtube and I was wondering what may help ease this awful feeling. I have watched a lot of Jason Stevenson, some Tibetin/meditation and mindfulness, RAM DAS and host of other postings. Today I found Mindful Movement which has mutiple videos on meditation. I feel that the availibility of this viewing is wonderful and I was wondering if anyone else has subscribed to these channels. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your suggestions. I am going to check those out.

Not really meditations (more just positivity and self love based) I mainly follow Matt Kahn and Russel Brand (Under the Skin).

I really like an app called Insight Timer for meditation. There is a free version and the have all types of therapy meditation for anxiety and depression. I also use Tai Chi. I was teaching a Rehabilitative Tai Chi Group before this pandemic. I recommend the following videos:

Dr. Paul Lam has put together a series of videos called: Free Tai Chi to Improve immunity and reduce stress. These videos are in response to the pandemic. I think there are six lessons total. This is the second in the series, the first is an intro.

The second one I recommend is the 8 minute Tai Chi workout by Don Fiore. This is a series of exercises.

I hope you find peace. Best Wishes.

    there has been considerable popular press on the social impact of misogyny (hatred of women). misandry (hatred of men) seems socially blessed. poor girl. how right you are to hate the evils of men. never mind that harboring hatred burns holes in your soul. those evil creatures are worthy of all the hate we can muster.i have 5 brothers, 5 sisters and 3 sons and 2 daughters. i hold that misandry is...
