Meditation Month - Citywide FREE introductory classes
In response to growing urban problems of stress and declining mental health, Hour of Peace Meetup organisers and Auckland’s Sri Chinmoy Meditation Centre are offering a citywide free program throughout March which will share basic meditation skills with anyone keen to learn.
Meditation Month will introduce the key steps in getting started, and cover a variety of techniques in calming the mind and coping with the often complex challenges of living in today’s world.
This is an admission-free initiative simply dedicated to a more peaceful world and to the quest for happiness that we all share.

We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
New Year, Same Brain Teasers!
A man was found dead with a cassette recorder in one hand and a gun in the other.
When the police pressed “play,” the tape said, “I can’t go on,” and then there was a gunshot.
Yet, the police knew it was a murder.

Stray male cat
Over the last two weeks a rangy male tabby cat has been pleading for food at our place in Royal Terrace, Sandringham.
Or is there a colony of cats being fed around here.
If you have lost him please call 021996559
Note that we took him to the vet today the 6th of January and he belongs to someone in our area.
We will now just enjoy a pat on his daily visits but not feed him.
