Peace, Love, Happiness & Joy, Kindness, Gratitude Group

This group is created to help us become more aware/mindful, at any given moment, in every moment. Firstly of whats going on inside us, our thoughts, corresponding emotions, feelings, reactions, judgments etc, and secondly of whats going on outside us, around us. To be aware and awake to the present moment, the colors, shapes, sounds close and far, our own movements, breathing.. and movements of other people and things around us, the vast space between things, the space around objects, the scents or smells, the little things we are doing right now, the silence that surrounds all sound. We dont have to focus hard, simply be acknowledge and be aware of these things.

By practising being aware/mindful, we get to experience reality, in the here and now, in a completely new manner. A rich, alive, fresh depth is experienced, possibly like almost never before, and we get to experience beauty, peace and joy for almost no particular reason. It's wonderful!!

By practising observing ourselves as often as possible, we get to become aware of many things we may have been asleep to before.. our automatic thoughts and self talk, our subtle or pronounced emotional reactions to our judgments and thoughts, our conditioned thoughts and emotional reactions.. We get to become aware of our egos, our false selfs, and the drama and suffering it creates. By simply silently and non judgmentally observing and watching ourselves, our egos gently dissolve, along with the related suffering, and space is created for peace, love, joy, happiness, gratitude, creativity to flow in and blossom. By understanding what we are NOT, we get to experience* what we ARE, THAT which cannot be named, It's a wonderful new shift to a different level of being/experiencing life. So fresh and alive!

So the main practises of this group in essence is to observe ourselves, practise being mindful and aware of ourselves and whats going on around us, to grow in present moment awareness, and to be willing to dissolve our ego and let blossom good virtues. to expand ourselves.. :)

I would like that this group can be a platform for which all in the group can share with each other and help each other, to network, to promote awareness, peace, love etc in the world , ourselves first, our families, friends, communities, workplace etc.. each place and person at a time. People are most welcome and invited to post up what they'd like to share on the wall, or create and participate in the forum.
