  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Mindfulness

I was thinking about redownloading and maybe going premium on Lumosity, a brain training app. I noticed the App Store description had a new feature about mindfulness training. I googled “mindfulness” and got definitions saying:
4928A9BC-3DFE-4EB1-ADBA-51EF411944FF.jpeg

Is something like this bad/dangerous? Meditation or mindfulness focusing on breathing and the present and your current state? The mindfulness section has subcategories; Unwinding stress, cultivating kindness, body scanning, and embodied emotion as well as some others. Should I use lumosity or find another brain training app?

Since writing that I redownloaded Peak, which has games like “apprentice wizard” in the focus category and a category called calming with games like deep listening and laze which I cannot see descriptions of because I do not have a pro subscription. Should I use Lumosity, Peak, something else, or forget about all that?
