bbbearsmom, I can't access the site even to get to my purchased sessions. Maybe the free one has temporarily crashed his sites. I have another log in under "enrolled courses" and that one is just spinning too. Hoping just a short term problem.

lani , This morning I had trouble getting on to the site but then I got on from my other computer from the email link. Yeah, I just tried from this computer and it is just spinning. You are probably right with everyone home they are all trying to get to the site at once. I just got on.

bbbearsmom , good to know. Both my log ins are from my email account. I will try again later. ETA: No, my log-ins are actually through the website and then via email. I dug up an old email and was able to get in with that. Flagged it so it will be at the top of the heap until I can get in the usual way. Hooray! Final ETA: Now I can get in all the old ways. This new free one I bought back when the coronavirus thing first started up. I had done it for free when it first came around. I have to say it's not my favorite, but hey, it's free which is nice for them to do.

I just noticed all the regular exercise programs that were on my local PBS station in the morning have been replaced with children's programming, no doubt for all the kids stuck at home. I hadn't checked in a while since I've been doing my DVDs and recorded Classical Stretch programs.

bbbearsmom, just have to say, this time around the Hope meditation is really speaking to me. The first couple of times I did it, not so much. It must depend on what the meditator is bringing to it. Every time you're a slightly different person. And, of course, we are all in need of a little more hope right now.

lani, I am liking this one. I don't always "get" what they are talking about but some of it gets through. I'm trying more of stillness now instead of just repeating the mantra.

bbbearsmom, yes, sometimes the mantra works for me, other times I just start out with it and then let it fade away into stillness. I like to try to feel the rest of the global meditators. I figure there are a bunch doing it no matter what time I do it. I was about to hit post, when I noticed I had tagged myself instead of you. Must have zenned out for a moment.

Are you guys talking about another Chopra thing?
Also, I found it funny that the "LOL" emoticon on Lani's post about exercise programming has been replaced from a LOL emoti to a sort of puzzled one, was that intentional?!

surfgirl, yes, there is a freebie Oprah/Chopra meditation going on right now. I don't see the emjoi you're talking about.

bbbearsmom, the actual meditation time in the current series seems quite a bit shorter. Maybe trying to get newbies? The one I did today was only 7 minutes of meditating.

lani, I noticed this. It is way too short for me. I set a separate timer to give me 10 more minutes of meditation time. Hadn't thought about them doing it for beginners.

bbbearsmom, I think I'll do an additional meditation while participating in this one.

lani, Good idea, the 7-8 minutes just isn't long enough.

bbbearsmom, yesterday I just paused the video for 5-10 minutes (I kind of lost track) at the beginning of the actual meditation, meditated in silence, and then turned it on and did the rest of it. Worked out well.
