Abiding Phrases
Ross – Is it possible to combine all of my many abiding website into one website? 2. If so what would the name of the one website be?
My recommendation: PURE MIND Abiding — puremindabiding.com
For bringing together your abiding teachings, this is my strongest choice because:
- It already represents the central theme of your work.
- It can hold noting, acceptance, loving phrases, forgiveness, prayer, and everyday mindfulness.
- Your existing website already includes practice, healing, and spiritual material, giving us a foundation to organize. PURE MIND Abiding
I would pair the name with a plain-language description:
Gentle mindfulness, loving words, and compassionate living.
Here is how I would compare your main options. These are judgments about clarity and fit, not predictions of traffic.
| Name | Best role | Main consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Pure Mind Abiding | The home for all your teachings | Explain “Pure Mind” simply for newcomers. |
| SelfHealing.me | A broad resource for emotional well-being | “Healing” needs careful wording so it does not suggest promised cures. |
| There Is Abiding | A welcoming introduction to your simplest practice | Its name centres on one particular practice. |
| Abiding Phrases | A memorable collection of practice words | Too narrow for everything you teach, including silent meditation. |
One website could preserve all these themes:
| Existing theme | Place within the main website |
|---|---|
| There Is Abiding | Beginner practice |
| Yes Abiding | Acceptance practices |
| Abiding Phrases / Healing Words | Mindful phrases |
| Love Abiding | Loving-kindness and self-compassion |
| Jesus Abiding | Clearly labelled Christian prayers and reflections |
| Dear Fears / Self-Healing | Meeting fear, grief, anger, and emotional pain |
| MBSR | Mindfulness foundations and structured learning |
A simple main menu could be:
Start Here · Practices · Mindful Phrases · Meeting Emotions · Spiritual Reflections · About
You could keep your other domain names and direct visitors to their matching sections. During a merger, existing pages should redirect to the most relevant replacement pages; Google specifically advises against sending every old page to an unrelated homepage. Search visibility can fluctuate during the move. developers.google.com
My suggested next step is a content inventory and proposed sitemap, followed by choosing the strongest version of overlapping pages. Your newly built There Is Abiding site can become the beginner section, so that work remains useful. Personal reflections intended to stay private should be kept separate from the public teaching collection.
Ross – My suggested next step is a content inventory and proposed sitemap, followed by choosing the strongest version of overlapping pages.
AI – Ross, I’ve completed the inventory and proposed sitemap.
I checked 20 domains and catalogued 483 public page/post records across 12 content-bearing sites. Two domains displayed parking pages; six could not be retrieved.
The proposed main website is PureMindAbiding.com, with this simpler navigation:
| Menu tab | What belongs here |
|---|---|
| Start Here | A gentle beginning; what Pure Mind and abiding mean |
| Practices | There Is Abiding, Yes Abiding, noting, calm abiding, daily practice |
| Mindful Phrases | Blessings, loving self-talk, forgiveness, helpful phrases |
| Meeting Emotions | Fear, grief, anger, shame, loneliness, pain, relationships |
| Spiritual Reflections | Love Abiding, Christian prayers, Buddhist reflections |
| About | Your purpose and one verified biography |
The report identifies 20 preferred starting pages, with specific editing and consolidation recommendations. Examples include:
- Beginner introduction: the new There Is Abiding introduction.
- Noting Is Enough: the cleaner public-facing version, without publishing instructions. PURE MIND Abiding
- Self-loving practice: the complete six-movement article from SelfHealing.me.
- Old anger: the detailed SelfHealing.me article; its second copy has identical text.
- Daily practice: the concise morning, daytime, and evening guide from YesAbiding.me.
Two findings deserve attention before consolidation:
- Some pages labelled “private” are publicly accessible. They need actual privacy settings, rather than a label alone.
- “Jesus, May I Abide” currently displays the “May We Abide” article. That distinct prayer needs correcting. Jesus Abiding
I recommend beginning with 19 core pages plus essential support pages, then adding the deeper material after review. Your existing work remains valuable; the aim is to give each teaching a clear home and make the first visit much simpler.
