MOM!

I'd like to invite you to join our email (listserve) discussion group about Meditation that I affectionately call "MOM" which stands for: Magic of Meditation.

This list is for discussion about meditation and related topics. It is dedicated to meditation in general - rather than any specific modality. This is a brand-new list, so it is likely to be quiet in the beginning!

Our purpose is to provide a warm, friendly, and safe place to correspond with others. Our members come from all over the world, and many different walks-of-life.

We DO often have "off-topic" posts - and I do not discourage this. Our posts range from the serious to the silly. I decided to make this a place where people can make friends with others who are interested in the same things.

We have very few rules on this list. I consider this list to be "semi-moderated" and "semi-private". We do accept subscription requests openly, but I reserve the right to unsub anyone who does not adhere to our few rules.

Personally, I don't like to even have to list a bunch of rules - but they exist for the enjoyment of all members so that we have a comfortable place in which to join.

Unlike other lists, we don't consider it necessary to "lurk" for awhile before posting. As long as you have read the below rules (and agree to adhere to them) - feel free to jump right in and introduce yourself. Yes, we have "fluff" at times - but please feel free to ask questions about meditation. We enjoy serious discussion too! The subscribe address follows the rules...

The Rules:

  • No advertisements of any kind.
    • Spams will not be tolerated at all and are grounds for immediate removal from the list without notice.

    • Do not consider this an open forum to advertise your services whatever they may be. Absolutely no advertising of services or products will be allowed in the body of a posting. SHORT sig files may be used, where you may place an URL, but they must be four lines or less.

      If you are a reader or practitioner, it is fine to mention this in an introduction as long as you don't do an "advertisement". (i.e., "hi, I am so-and-so, and I read tarot cards (whatever)" is fine - but: "I charge $XX and call me at: 555-5555 is NOT)

      You will notice that people on the list DO talk about what they do from time to time - and I have no problem with this as long as the guidelines are followed.

    • No soliciting allowed. Gathering email addresses from posts and soliciting members will be considered a violation of the rules.

  • No abuse of any other member will be allowed. If you disagree with someone - it MUST be remembered that it is the OPINION that you do not agree with. Do NOT post attacks on other members personally.

    I certainly understand that not everyone will agree with all opinions expressed, and it is not my intention to censor discussion. However, it CAN (and must) be done without personally attacking another listmember. I have little tolerence for those who cannot refrain from hurting other member's feelings.

  • Watch your language! Excessive or consistent profanity will not be tolerated. Please remember that our listmembers range widely in age, and others may be offended. An occasional slip happens - but if someone consistently uses profanity, they will be removed.

When you subscribe, you will be sent two emails. One will tell you that you must send back a "confirm" email. The other email will give the text string that you must send back to the majordomo address. This will confirm that you are subscribing a valid address.

Then, you will receive an email telling you that your subscription request must be "approved" by the list owner. In most cases, I will do this automatically. This is not meant to censor anyone but spammers!

To Subscribe:

To subscribe: send an email to: majordomo@hollys.com with: subscribe meditation in the body of the email.

**note - you can add: subscribe meditation [youremailaddress] if you want to subscribe an address different from where you are sending it from. However, a "confirm" email will be sent to that address - and you must reply from that address for the subscription to take effect.

To unsubscribe: send an email to: majordomo@hollys.com with: unsubscribe meditatation in the body of the email.

TO POST:

When you subscribe, you will be sent an email with the posting address. Since many bulk emailers scour web pages for email addresses - I will not list it here - or make a live link to the subscription address. I apologize that you cannot subscribe directly from this page - but spammers spoil it for everyone!

WHEW!!! That was a mouthful! I hope this helps you understand what we are about. We look forward to meeting you!

Smiles,
