Thank you David - I took a few minutes to keyboard some of your presentation to create a written reminder about that wandering mind... LOL! I do have a question though. I have been a "shallow" breather all my life, and while I can usually make the first five or six breaths somewhat longer, I quickly slip back to shallow breathing. Of course that impacts counting as well. Any suggestions?

Hi Marilyn, Try not to manipulate your breathing in any way - so no need to deliberately try to slow down or deep breathe, as we might in, say, Pilates or yoga. But, often the act of observing something changes the thing being observed and it's quite likely that by observing your breath it will naturally slow and deepen - and that's fine. But if it doesn't, no problem. Simply maintain focus and go with the flow. All the very best with it and let me know how you get on.

Thank you so much, David. I have also just shared this challenge with my daughter. We're going to walk through this part of our "story" together :-)

Even the you-tube link isn’t working on my ipad. I get the video but the information to sign up doesn’t appear at the end of the video. So perhaps the Universe is telling me wait until the next offering. I am flummoxed.

Sorry, Debra, to hear about that. I have no idea what's going on, but given that most other people are able to get the video I suspect the problem could be at your end. Ask a teenager for help?! I hope you're able to resolve things soon.

Most excellent refresher, to breathe new life into my practice. I don't usually use guided meditations, however I'm looking forward to yours. Have a happy healthy 2024. I appreciate you.

Dear David,

Know this, you DO bring understanding and happiness.

Last night- after my News Years Eve meditation I looked for all the things I was grateful for in 2023.

Your books and groups were high on my list.

I saved "the Claw of attraction" to read in my holiday period, (That was hard, I devour your books! but the anticipation was wonderful) As always it lived up to expectation and also gave me greater understanding on the subject of Compassion and Shunyata, a subject which my Rinproche has us working on! you have a knack with timing for me!

I really look forward to end enjoy your posts and it is absolutely wonderful to know how beautifully the money is used.

The words of wisdom through the eyes of a cat make me smile both on the inside and the outside.

Thank you so very much xxxx

Hi David, there’s no way to open your 20 min video on meditation (no arrow to click on) We’dreally like to do this. Happy New Year to you and HHC!

So sorry to hear about this, Lou. I don't know why some people are seeing it and not others, so I have also uploaded it to youtube - hope you can access it here: https://youtu.be/4XW1n7_yQvQ

Hi David, I refreshed and even re-booted my ipad and there is still no link visible for me. This may be an ipad anomaly. I will try again. I have listened/watched both videos again and I don’t see anything buried either. Where should I be looking because I am missing it or there is a glitch in my system. Thank you.

Hi Debra, It is the video on this post. You may have to refresh your page, if it doesn't show correctly. Sorry about any hassles you have - I had some technical problems at my end.

Loved your video and bringing to us the importance and the blessings related to our mind. Yes what a blessing indeed to know that our mind is in the center of it all. And what a blessing it is that meditation aids us in learning how to live with a clearer vision and ability to change the way we think and experience this earthy plane.

Thank you for this reminder and may 2024 be an amazing year for you!

I watched the 8 minute New Year video but can't for the life of me find a link to watch he 20 minute video about the 6 week opportunity. I plan to join the program if I can get access.

I appreciate your presence in my life and the world. May faith, hope, prosperity, peace and joy be anchored within you throughout this new year. With gratitude, love and light from Deborah 💜🙏🏻📿🧘🏻‍♀️

Thank you so much for your generous message and constant support, Deborah! I have uploaded the correct video to this post, so you should be able to access it now, by clicking the 'Play' button in the middle of the video. There are gremlins at work here, but my apologies for not double-checking. Note to self: wear different shirts for different videos to be extra safe!!

Thank you for this David. Due to various medical issues my husband and I need this 6 weeek challenge to get back to a regular habit of meditation. I'm also very excited to get the audible of The Claw of Attraction.
