Space for empowering conversation **§piritual etc thread**

[papillon]

What a chatty day it was yesterday, so great to share and bond!

Any further thoughts on what the spiritual board could be called?

Back again... my we are lurker friendly today!!

Just been showing dd §wiss cows and cats. The § on my keyboard is probably located elsewhere from yours Melsy - but you can copyright mine from here

I've been lurking but thought everyone else had gone!!!

Hiya lurkin , on the phone at the mo!!!!!

So that we are ready in case Mn does grant us a board - names

These ones have already been listed as well as new suggestions below

a. Whole self
b. Energy and being
c. Spirituality and self
d. Sensing and being
e. Philosophy and Beliefs
f. Religion and Spiritual Beliefs
g. Philosophy, Religion, Spirit
h. Spiritual life
i. Philosophy and Spiritual life

feedback please

I like i ; pihilosophies and spsiritual life. I think for newbies its good to have a title that explains what the board is. It is difficult thought to encompass all we are discussing and not be too offputting!!!

j. Alternative life
k. Living spiritualy
l. Soul search
m. soul wellbeing

ruminate ruminate !!!

n. Enlightenment ????

m. Spirituality and alternative living

Thats a good one too, carribeanqueen.May be we are trying to be too cryptic !!!

Hi all.

I like g)Philosophy, Religion, Spirit (or a switched round version). It covers everything and allows for threads about Catholic/Jewish/Muslim (etc etc) issues as well (which is why I think the word Religion should be included).

I am not so keen on ones like j) Alternative life or m) Spirituality and alternative living. Why should my beliefs be sidelined as alternative?

juniper - sorry, forgot to reply to your question. I am in East Yorkshire, although for 20 odd years the government reckoned I lived in Humberside (and without ever leaving my home town!)

I feel the same about alternative Snugs - I seem to not be able to get away from the word!!

I am attracted to the word beliefs - seems to encompass both religion and spirituality - no conquer and divide necessary (enough of that going around already in the world at large)

Want to be able to include philosophy or some such word, so that metaphysical subjects can be included.

have now typed myself into another option

Metaphysical beliefs

Not sure but adding it to the list

Hi Snugs
Hope your dh is on the mend

humberside - did you cast a spell on the govt snugs and make them lose track of you!!

Ah - if only I could cast spells on the government No, they just invented this new county and told us we all lived in it. Now, finally we are back in the good old Ridings of Yorkshire where we belong. Now just have to persuade the Post Office that Humberside (yuck) no longer exists.

DH is well thanks. It was a minor op on his knee, but I hate it when he has to have a general anaesthetic, can?t help worrying.

Hi everyone I like including philosphy papillon but didnt mention it in my suggestions. Found a great shop when out whihc had a silver box with six little scrolls for writing your wishes in which you then gave to best mate until they came true. Of course like the depressing person I am I instantly thought yes but what if they dont and then how would your friend feel? Never mind one day I qwill be able to discard my cynisism and be the sunny optimist I know I truly am! (that was feedback once on a work report on me!)

Oh dear Glitterfairy - the detox has kick in yet has it!! When I did one a couple of years back I felt like I was flying after about day 3!

I like the word philosophy too...
maybe we should have a small paragraph as a name LOL

Wishes to me are like prayers and realised within myself the other day - that patience is need as what you wish for my take some time and perhaps I just need to learn a new approach or angle and then this could unfold the wish

ooh I like that unfolding wishes! We are always so careful though about wishes and even say things like e careful what you wish for as though needs and wants are bad things we must supress. As for detox have a headache which I am sure will pass and a grumpy dh who is taunting me with steak!

I think that..
Needs and wants should not be supressed - it is abit like only having good or bad or black or white - way too much inbetween to choose from - which IMO is healthy!

Being careful of needs and wants though I reckon is important - I really connect with the pagan tenament that what you send out comes back three times over. Makes me more careful of actions and wishes

DO you ever go on beliefnet by the way my business partner who is abit of a budhist goes on it all the time adn send me stuff from it.

Never heard of beliefnet before - any good?
was just having an epiphany about websites in the bath ! Am going to mull my idea over more (being secretative

btw I may get around to emailing u soon as I would like to speak more about your work and how u moved into this area - any training etc... (or if you want to respond here...) ... would really be interested in speaking more about this and such like ... let me know

No problem we can sart a new thread. But email me as it would be good to be able to just chat away. Are you on MSN messenger as that is faster I find. Whatever no problem.

Afternoon all,

I see there are lots of ideas for names for when/if we get a board. I like spirituality and religion.

Snugs, my DH used to live in Scarborough and we go there a lot. That's sort of East yorkishire? He also recently had a knee op (cartilage) his 2nd. More coincidences

The boys and I had a lovely day whilst DH was at football. have a look at this that's where we went. It's so peaceful and the weather's been beautiful today.

Hey, that sounds like a great place to take your kids Juniper - nice one.

Glitterfairy - will email u tomorrow and maybe make a thread also .. I am not on messenger.

Off to dream land now
