Let's Get Through This

I want to honor your choice for coming to meditation today. Inhale. Exhale. When things get challenging, settling in can be the last thing we want to do. Inhale. Exhale. But many of us know that the breath can be a beautiful tether. Keeping us grounded. Here. Now. Inhale. Exhale. Welcome to a Hit of Hope. This was written during the fourth week of self-isolation for the corona virus, and let’s just get real for a minute, shall we?

That was awesome short and sweet and to the point.

Thank you 🙏

As someone else mentioned I am late to this but so helpful. I appreciated the reminder that what helps me, may not help someone else. I loved the description of the various personality types. I think I am many of these myself. Many thanks to the teacher for their support and encouragement.

Always brilliant!

Even though we are out of the pandemic, this is the first time I’ve heard this meditation. I have been alone 9 hours a day since the schools shut down and remain so today. My boss won’t let me aide in the classroom for fear of myself getting ill. (Right now it’s the flu). I’m getting really tired of this bc I NEED human contact with the kiddos! I am going to name my walls as you did. I need to do something other than chasing to the clinic almost once or more a week. Thanks for your inspiration.🩷

You’ve got this. As you know, it is one thing to “get over” something and something else to “get through” something.

Thank you

Pulled at some emotions I didn't know we're there🙏off to find some Lawrence welk ....blast from the past

Times have changed a bit but it still worked well. I really liked it.

From hopelessness, pure despair 2 years later isolated in my room, locked door with a chair under the knob,in the dark and it’s still daylight…I know where to go to get my hit of hope….. thank you dear one. Your light shines through my phone straight to my heart ❤️ as I fight fight fight …..❤️💫🙏🏼

Fantastic

I love how amusing she can be while giving us a very helpful and meaningful pep-talk

Thank you🕉🙏💖

Bringing wit to this tough time. Well done.

How am I just happening upon this one? Because it was featured in the app, or because it was exactly what I needed tonight?
Life happens FOR me, and apparently so do the editors at Insight Timer.
Thank you all, and

Namaste.

Love this!!! This made me smile! Thank you!!!

Loved this

I really needed to receive this today thanks for the hit of hope Betsy i appreciate you.Stay blessed beautiful soul...Namaste☮💚🌅

Thx !! Its rare I ever second guess the small time getting to listen to your Hits a Hope. It’s been awhile since I really got quite enough to feel one. That’s kinda strange as it was you i started feeling or ? not sure. Not just hearing but experiencing still take some time most days practicing at least getting still and breathing. I miss these. My lol only friend on this app sent me this in a playlist. For better part of a year I really enjoyed your words. I have not been listening to near the variety of folks as before. I have definitely listened to you as far as separately and more often than any one else. I shoulda supported ya with a donation by now. In person, I imagine I’d probably drive ya a little nuts. I’m not great at aww. I’m sure you know how much of a grounding beacon you are ?! At least to me and I imagine so many. Ha Sry just in case you had forgotten you never know how important ya can be to someone And all the effects down the line.
A lot has started changing since starting to practice more. I started after years of half ass attempts, that weren’t really even attempts ..? with Pema and Dass and Franklin .., but if not for my friend introducing me to your words and outlook, I don’t think I would have stuck around. I’m sure your efficiency had something to do with it in the beginning. But not after a while. I’d listen to a few. Least I felt for first time I could feel your words. Most the time I guess “experienced them” might be a better description It and what else I found opened something thats definitely genuine and resonating and it’s not going away apparently. It’s been incredible The short time so far has been a huge ride. I’ve been a bit selfish I suppose That’s gonna end but might be the first of the month.
Thank ya so much and I won’t leave any more ridiculous rants (can hope). Wishing you a beautiful day :)

Thank you for sharing this idea, I love silly things to do so I will make a list Thank you 😊🙏🏻

I felt every word you said...something led me to your page and I'm grateful bc right now it feels like everything is just piling up. Thank you for this...and i guess perhaps I should make a list and see how that goes 🙏

I got my list ..includes listening to you
And growing from your lessons. 🙏

Thank you for some good suggestions. The light humor was the most uplifting! Adding some sort of silliness to my list 😁

I love this idea. I will start writing my list ... Thank you, much love 💙x

Thank you, Betsy. Love and light to you.

Good advice. I paint and go for a daily walk around a local park so I can be in nature
Looking forward to next recording

TYSM for including us on your list, and for including some ideas for our lists. Blind contour drawing and drag makeup are going on mine. And I'm going to make a physical list, because when I need it most, my brain will refuse to come up with anything that might help, or that might be some form of self-care, or sometimes just get me through some hours that are especially bad.

I chuckled out loud and thank you for this uplifting talk! I smiled, too!

Thanks Betsy. This has really helped me today.

You had my attention from the start til the very end. I laughed a little and loved the realness and humour, please keep hitting us up with a bit of hope.
