Simple, effective. Only criticism: I could have done without the breathing sound effects.

Really good for calming the mind body and spirit 🙏❤️🧘

Lovely meditation. The breathing I could hear was maybe a bit loud, as it put me off my slightly, but I'll happily do this meditation again.

Laura’s voice is very soothing and calm. Listening to her helps bring some peace while feeling anxious. Working with the breath was helpful to bring me down a notch.
