Meditation for everyone
Making meditation accessible and personal for everyone. That is our mission.
Making meditation accessible and personal for everyone. That is our mission.
The substantive line that we at 30NOW following stems from a contemporary approach to Buddhist meditation. Central is the practice of mindfulness or attention. An acknowledging awareness of physical and mental experiences. Although there are differences in meditation style, all meditations follow the principle of mindfulness. Meditations are also offered that are complementary and develop other qualities such as calmness, kindness and compassion.
30NOW was founded by Dirk Wolbers and Joost van den Heuvel Rijnders and started on January 10, 2019.
It started with an online 30 Day Series that allowed you to experience the power of meditation in an accessible and personal way. It has been growing ever since 30NOW with more guides, offerings and styles to a personal online meditation platform for everyone.
The “30” stands for the 30 Day Series in which you will explore and experience meditation step by step. “NOW” stands for the present, the here and now. Of 30NOW train your mind to live in the present moment and avoid being overly concerned with the past and future. As a result, stressful emotions such as fear, hope, fear and expectations have less of a hold on you. When you live fully in the moment, you experience peace, acceptance, freedom, or happiness.
Embracing the richness and diversity of Buddhist traditions with their proven methods and styles.
The practical application of Buddhist meditation styles and their integration into everyday life. This requires an open and investigative approach.
Facilitating meditations and trying to make them accessible to everyone. This concerns young, old, newcomers and more experienced participants.
Creating an environment where participants can practice together, exchange experiences and thus support each other.
Together with a growing number of participants and supervisors, we create a more accessible and versatile meditation platform every day. We learn from the user experiences and with the financial contributions from the Membership we can further develop and grow the platform.

DNS cache is like a phone book for the internet. It keeps track of websites and their associated IP addresses so that your computer can quickly find the website you want to visit. Sometimes the cached information can become outdated, which can cause problems when trying to access certain websites. For example, if a website's IP address changes, your computer may still try to connect to the old IP address, preventing the website from loading.
Clearing the DNS cache clears out all old information and allows your computer to get the most up-to-date information from the Internet. This can help resolve issues such as not being able to access a particular website or redirecting to the wrong page.
In summary, clearing the DNS cache can help resolve Internet connectivity issues by clearing old information and renewing the IP addresses of the cached websites. This way your computer can connect to the correct IP address and load the desired website.
You can delete the DNS cache on individual devices with a few short steps. If you find these (below) steps too complex, you can choose to simply unplug your internet modem for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in. This will also refresh the DNS.
Keep in mind that it can take up to 5 minutes before your internet connection is available again.
On Windows:
– Open the command prompt/command prompt application as an administrator.
– Type the command “ipconfig /flushdns” and press Enter.
– You should see a message that says “The DNS resolver cache has been flushed” or “Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.”
On Mac:
– Open the 'Terminal' application.
– Type the command “sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder” and press Enter.
– You will be prompted to enter your administrator password.
– After entering the password, the DNS cache will be flushed.
On iPhone or iPad:
On an iPhone or iPad it is not possible to delete the DNS cache directly like on a computer. This is because the DNS cache on an iPhone is managed by the operating system and is not directly accessible to users. But there are a number of steps you can take to “reset” the DNS cache on an iPhone:
By following the steps above, the iPhone or iPad will reconnect to the WiFi network and set up a new DNS server, removing the old DNS information from the cache. This can help with internet connectivity issues or loading specific websites.
Keep in mind that this solution only applies to problems with WiFi connections.
