Asher joined the meeting and participated in a round table discussion where participants shared their personal experiences and feelings during the meditation. Ian Kendrick also joined the meeting late and shared his views about the universe's intelligence and its elements, including the Rainbow Bridge.
Sacred Concepts and Psychic Hygiene
Ian, Asher, Shannon, Elizabeth, and Anne had a wide-ranging discussion. They clarified the meaning of the Rainbow Bridge, which Asher explained is a sacred concept often associated with the chalice and the blade, representing the connection between heaven and earth.

They also explored the idea of 'folding' thoughts and emotions into the breathing process, with Anne sharing her experiences with this practice. The conversation concluded with a reminder about the pace of technology versus the pace of organic beings, and the need to adjust accordingly when practicing somatic meditation.

Anne and Shannon shared their experiences with Yoga Nidra and visualization, respectively.

Shannon highlighted the importance of being true to one's word and finding joy in the process. The discussion attracted more participants than usual to the afterchat, with Stanley noting the increased interest. Asher likened the practice to the myth of Dionysus, suggesting that humans are like Dionysus, torn apart and scattered across the universe, and this practice is about reconnecting these fragmented parts.
