Very nice! My only suggestion is to be mindful of not letting the volume of the music overpower your voice in certain places. Overall, great meditation for healing.

The music, your pacing, and guidance created a gentle, supportive container to bring the nervous system into greater ease and groundedness. Thank you.

I think this meditation was a great meditation for just tuning into/increasing connection with my parts in any moment, so i can tend to them better with attentive care 🙏❤️also, the deep music was immersing and felt sensory soothing and nice, which mirrored the invitation to tune in.
