id="article-body" class="row" section="article-body"> Peace Inside Live cofounder Jordana Reim teaches a class on breathwork and sound healing on the platform. Peace Inside Live [/tech-for-a-better-world/ This story is part of Tech for a Better World, stories about the diverse teams creating products, apps and services to improve our lives and society.]Last Friday afternoon, instead of spending my lunch break glued to my kitchen table eating a sad salad, I found myself dancing in a frenzy around my house, joined by about 15 others unselfconsciously doing the same on a Zoom call. We threw our arms in the air and spun around -- some in workout clothes, some in dresses, some with dogs in their arms. It wasn't a quarantine-induced simultaneous breakdown, but a live yoga and movement class called Rhythm & Prana Flow. The class is part of [ Peace Inside Live], an online platform born during the pandemic that offers daily, live, donation-based Zoom sessions with facilitators from around the world, focusing on mindfulness, meditation and movement. The goal is to make wellness accessible to everyone, no matter their financial situation or location. [ ] "There's always been a barrier to entry in the wellness industry, and we've realized that and want to be part of the solution, not the problem," said cofounder Shira Lazar, who is also founder and CEO of the digital media brand [ What's Trending]. "We realize how important it is to provide these tools to everyone." Since Peace Inside Live started at the end of April, about 4,000 people have attended its virtual classes. Class sizes range from intimate groups of a few students to more than 100 people. When you take a class, you'll likely meet people from all over the world, and will learn from the community that forms as well as from the facilitator. "We have this opportunity with the pandemic to make big change," said cofounder Jordana Reim, a former ad executive and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-thai-lan-bangkok-pattaya-5-ngay.html tour thái lan giá rẻ] producer who became a yoga teacher and healing trainer. "If we're just waiting for things to be normal again, we're missing the opportunity to question how each of us have been living, and what's perhaps missing. And practices of mindfulness can bring us to a place where we can take an honest but loving look into ourselves." CNET Coronavirus Update Keep track of the coronavirus pandemic. Daily classes for a donation Lazar and Reim have known each other for about 15 years, across different careers and stages of life. When the pandemic hit, Reim had been hosting wellness retreats in places like Thailand and Mount Everest, which were no longer an option. She decided to try moving those retreat sessions online to see if they could still be beneficial without the in-person connection. Lazar attended one, and the two decided to collaborate on making a [http://edublogs.org/?s=daily%20platform daily platform]. "The whole idea was to create peace inside, literally and figuratively," Lazar said. You can find live classes on Peace Inside Live every day. Offerings include different types of meditation, breathing, movement, healing through sound, and studying happiness through the ancient Hindu scripture the Bhagavad Gita. There are also yoga and other workshops. When you take a live class, you can donate directly to the facilitator through Venmo or PayPal. Facilitators often suggest a donation of $5 to $20 per class, and keep 100% of their earnings from their classes. You can also donate to access on-demand monthly classes. The average monthly donation is $15. While this payment model may change in the future, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-thai-lan-bangkok-pattaya-5-ngay.html tour thái lan giá rẻ] for now, it's been working to build a community, Lazar said. "We want to see what works for people, and we want to be sensitive and aware of people's needs and ability to pay for this," she added. The founders also work with corporations on wellness activities. For every hour they work with a [http://www.accountingweb.co.uk/search/site/for-profit for-profit] company on a virtual session, they donate an hour to a nonprofit, like the [ Boys and Girls Clubs of America], [ Miry's List] and [ Thirst Project], bringing mindfulness to those teams that often have many frontline workers. On the Peace Inside Live platform, you can take live classes on meditation and movement for a donation. Peace Inside Live Founding an inclusive community Many people in the wellness community have come under fire for [ whitewashing practices and excluding people of color], both in terms of facilitators and class participants, Lazar said. She and Reim are aware of their white privilege, she added, and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-thai-lan-bangkok-pattaya-5-ngay.html tour thái lan giá rẻ] have worked to make diversity part of the platform's DNA, rather than trying to make changes later. Facilitators and participants are located around the world, and the founders consistently reach out to BIPOC organizations and leaders to work together and ask how to support their own efforts, Lazar said. Part of this work has involved Sunday Peace Inside Live Conversations, with people including Thupten Jinpala (the Dalai Lama's translator and founder of The Compassion Institute). The week [ ] was killed by police, the platform began hosting twice-monthly discussions called The Other America, facilitated by Lazar and the influencer [ James Andrews]. These events are meant to provide a safe space for uncomfortable conversations around racism, social injustice and police brutality with storytellers, healers and activists. Panelists have included Kailee Scales from [ Black Lives Matter], activist and author [ Blair Imani] and Corey Jacobs, cofounder of the [ Buried Alive Project]. These sessions start with a meditation and turn into a conversation and call to action. "What we have is a global community of people who are taking this look inside and making changes to take skillful action in this world," Reim said. "It's not even a new normal, but creating a world together where we're connected and where we have compassion."

Signs Of Dissent Within Thai Military As Protests Grow

2020-12-30T07:38:22Z

139.5.132.29:

By Chayut Setboonsarng and Matthew Tostevin BANGKOK, Dec 2 (Reuters) - In July, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-thai-lan-bangkok-pattaya-5-ngay.html tua du lịch thái lan] as thousands of Thais demanded the resignation of the government in one of the largest street demonstrations since a 2014 military coup, Army Sergeant Ekkachai Wangkaphan sided with the protesters. "Down with dictatorship," he wrote on Facebook under a news story about a jailed activist, a week before the protest. On the day of the protest, July 18, he shared a livestream and pictures with the hashtag of the Free Youth protest group. A few weeks later, he shared a photo of a protester carrying a placard saying "The country where you speak the truth and you go to jail." His superiors in the Royal Thai Army warned him to stop. But he had already made up his mind to quit and left the army in October. "When the protests escalated, orders to prohibit social media posts came in more often," Ekkachai, 33, told Reuters in an interview. "They want to nip it in the bud, but they can't." Social media is exposing discontent among some soldiers, police and civil servants after months of protests against Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha and the monarchy of King Maha Vajiralongkorn. Although Thai soldiers have occasionally expressed sympathy for protesters in past bouts of political unrest, the rapid expansion of social media is making it difficult to contain. Reuters reviewed dozens of social media posts and messages on chat groups used by soldiers and police and found many expressing sympathy with protesters and anger or unease over the way those who oppose the government are being treated. Some posted about their loyalty to Thailand's institutions. It is impossible to establish how far disaffection reaches based on social media activity. But the posts have attracted the attention of authorities. "If you are posting things that are creating misunderstanding and provocation that would create instability, that is inappropriate," said Colonel Sirijan Ngathong, the army's deputy spokeswoman, adding that commanding officers were reviewing the social media activity of soldiers to prevent breaches of army rules. She did not respond to requests for comment on the case involving Ekkachai or whether surveillance had increased since protests escalated in July. Some posts appeared on the viral video-sharing app TikTok. One TikTok video, now removed, showed a soldier giving the three-fingered salute, a gesture of resistance featured in "The Hunger Games" film that Thailand´s student-led, anti-government protest movement adopted. "Keep up the struggle, Thai brothers and sisters," said the caption. The video´s author told Reuters that he is a serving professional soldier but asked that his name not be used. Some sections of the army have intensified their clampdown. A message posted by a coordinator in a private chat group used by officers in one artillery regiment, reviewed by Reuters, prohibited soldiers from joining protests or giving any political opinions on social media. "After finding political expressions that were not suitable, commanders are asked to consider and rectify accordingly and to explain the political situation correctly to troops," the message said. The army did not respond to a request for comment on the message. It is unclear if disaffection will affect the protests or the way the government responds to them. "While there is some disaffection within the armed forces, grumblings do not remain significant enough to constitute a significant faction," said Paul Chambers, a politics expert at Naresuan University in northern Thailand. Government spokesman Anucha Burapachaisri declined to comment on disaffection among members of the security forces or civil service, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-thai-lan-bangkok-pattaya-5-ngay.html tour thái lan giá rẻ] saying only that the country should be focused on dialogue between those with different views. PROTESTS SWELL Tens of thousands of people have protested in the streets of Thailand since July, calling for a new constitution and the removal of Prayuth, who led a military coup in 2014. Protesters have also demanded curbs on the powers of the king, until recently a taboo subject in a country where criticism of the monarchy is a crime. The army plays a pivotal role in Thailand, which has been ruled by serving or former military officers for more than two-thirds of the time since the end of absolute monarchy in 1932. Thailand´s army has seized power 13 times since then and has on several occasions been involved in bloody crackdowns on protesters including in 1973, 1976, 1992 and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-thai-lan-bangkok-pattaya-5-ngay.html tour thái lan] 2010. Although many of the coups have had the [http://www.trainingzone.co.uk/search/broad%20support broad support] of the armed forces, cracks in the military have been exposed in the past. During a bloody 2010 crackdown on red-shirted anti-government protesters in Bangkok, some green-uniformed soldiers openly sympathized with the demonstrators, tipping off the group´s leaders ahead of a planned army operation. They were dubbed "watermelons" - green on the outside with red sympathies on the inside. That same year, rogue general Khattiya Sawasdipol - known as "Seh Daeng" or "Commander Red" - was assassinated after he came out in support of anti-government protesters, showing that displays of disloyalty in the Thai military can be dangerous. "Security forces, especially those who have to confront the protesters, are in a stressful position," said Kiranee Tammapiban-udom of government consultancy Maverick Consulting Group. They have to follow orders but at the same time are branded "servants of tyranny" by protesters, she said. One protest leader, Tattep Ruangprapaikitseree, said he encouraged security forces to disobey orders. "Turn your backs to your commanders, the regime will collapse," he told Reuters. Another soldier who had also posted on social media said he was looking to defuse tension rather than escalate it. "Maybe it's time for the older generation to listen to the young," he said. "Asking Prayuth to quit and for changes to the constitution is not abolishing the monarchy." DRESS CODE: YELLOW Some Thai police and civil servants are also questioning their roles. Many have been ordered to join official displays of loyalty to the crown, such as lining royal motorcade routes wearing yellow shirts - the king's colour. Police Colonel Kissana Phathanacharoen told Reuters such activities are part of police duty and that law enforcement was politically neutral. "Is this police work?" queried one police officer in an internal chat group, responding to a superior officer´s request in the group for participants to join a royal event. The superior officer responded in the chat group that he was passing on orders and that questions should be addressed to more senior levels. One document seen by Reuters, sent by the Bangkok Metropolitan Police to the Office of Police Strategy, a national body, requested "250 female police officers and 1,950 male along the route of the royal motorcade" for a funeral on Oct. 29 in Bangkok. "Dress code: yellow shirt with yellow collar. Long black pants, black shoes." Bangkok police spokesman Kissana said this was a normal police duty. "Basically, we are disguised as civilians," a female police officer in her late 20s from the Royal Thai Police told Reuters, asking to remain anonymous. "We´re told to wear yellow and shout 'Long live the king'." Protesters say police are easy to spot on such occasions because of their short haircuts. One 23-year-old civil servant complained at being ordered to attend a seminar to praise the works of the Chakri dynasty, of which Vajiralongkorn is the 10th king. "I can't do much, so I donate to the protesters," she told Reuters. (Reporting by Chayut Setboonsarng and Matthew Tostevin in Bangkok Editing by Bill Rigby)
