My most favourite body scan meditation!. It’s helped me get out of my head and back into my body during some very painful times, and also a beautiful way to start the day. I’ve completed this many times on Breathworks and am delighted to have found you here on insight timer Vidyamala! 🙏thank you.

This course with Vidyamala has been wonderful. Not only did I deeply connect with her story but I didn’t feel so isolated. I had already started learning breathwork and I feel this helped a lot to not get mired down into my pain. It was a wow moment when we looked at primary and secondary pain. I had never separated them before and now that I have (or at least am endeavouring to) it makes such a difference: it allows me to feel real happiness again and take pleasure in all sorts of things that I’d kind of given up on. I bless Vidyamala for showing me the way to have a good life again.

So lovely. I return to this body scan almost every night to fall asleep. I don't think I've ever heard the end!

Lovely calm voice.. I can’t comment on the content as I fell asleep almost immediately.. I can’t do a body scan or yoga nidra with out falling asleep. 🙈 Thank you for a lovely rest. 😊

Thank you. I wonder about the space in between people too. The invisible glue or energetic force that keeps us connected. May our relationships be loving and aware. 🙏🏼
