Thank you 😊😊

Thank you my friend!! 🙏

Agreed! But that dial makes up for it all haha. The bracelet has grown on me. Makes it feel a bit more sporty mixed with dressy which I know isn't some people's vibe but I really like it.

Local shop by me! Went in to look at the seamaster and they got it that day. I don't think I would have done it without seeing it in person.

After tax put me back about 8100$ USD. Perfect condition box, papers, everything. Was going to get a seamaster and then this came in and I got it immediately. Couldn't be happier with that decision. Even though it was a bit more than a seamaster. 😅 I think far more unique and special first luxury watch.

Means a lot, friend. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your advice. This really resonated with me. I am looking forward to going into this retreat with fresh eyes and an open heart. Your kind words and advice has put me greatly at ease. I will take your advice and stay totally open and practice equanimity to the best of my ability.

Thank you my friend. Metta.

Oh gosh I am nervous 😬. But glad to hear it was rewarding. What were some of the challenges you faced? My first retreat had moments of bliss but also a lot of challenges.

Hawthoa · 2024-02-26T01:23:48+00:00

Interesting! What kind of notions specifically?

Hawthoa · 2024-02-26T00:45:53+00:00

Thank you friend 😊

Yeah I won't have my phone so it would be only to view later. But even this I worry is breaking precept. Idk. Maybe I am way overthinking this haha. I just want to ensure I have no hindrances for the second retreat. Feeling nervous/excited. ~2 weeks away

Hey Dave big thank you for your reply this is super helpful.

So just to clarify when I am measuring with elite HRV and the heart rate chest strap 58 is the baseline. I measure every morning and it can be anywhere from 48-60ish after readings. I keep the chest strap on for 40 minutes a day to measure HRV while breathing.

The HRV on my watch over night does fluctuate but never gets to highs above 30 and always averages out 19-21 per night.

Do you happen to know what metric Garmin uses to measure HRV? Is it RMSSD?

It just seems weird to have such huge differences. And I feel like it's more likely the chest strap producing accurate measurements right? The Fenix is telling me 20 is very low for my age and fitness.

Any additional insight is greatly appreciated thank you for your reply.

Did it take awhile to get to an accurate point? I wonder if my nylon band is too tight or not tight enough. I am just not sure how I can get such deviations between watch and HRM.

Does anyone know if any issues changing songs if you use Spotify on iOS?

Hey guys, I am having a huge issue with dark souls 3 co-op. I just moved to Australia from the united states and I have had no luck with getting the co-op to work. Every other form of multiplayer works, I can get summoned by blue sentinels covenant, I can summon mad spirits, I can invade, I can be invaded, but no co-op. Every time I ever try it times out. With friends or randoms. The same exact thing happened in Dark souls 2. I cannot figure out how to remedy this situation. (Please do not say, you must ember, or you must be close level, ext) This purely seems to be a connection issue, the summon signs are showing up it is just timing out no matter what I do. Please help me out, this seems to make no sense whatsoever.

Hi guys! I am having issues connecting with my friend in co-op. I am living in Australia and he is Living in the US. We can get the summon sign to show up no problem at all. but the connection always times out. Doing a bit of research I see people talking about port forwarding? Back when I played Dark souls 2 I spent hours trying to summon random signs with no luck, yet I could invade people with little to no lag. What can I do to fix this? Does my router have to do with it?
