Thank you, Mark! I was nurtured under the tutelage of Franciscan Nuns years ago, in high school, and cherished the prayer of Saint Francis. Something nudged me to look it up this morning and listen. Without a doubt, I was spirit guided because it deeply touched my heart with one of those miracle moments of awareness and acceptance. I am now 80 and facing some shifts in my lifestyle which seem to be clearly guiding me to a simpler prayer for life of gardening and caring for others, as or when they show up. I’m practicing simplicity and patience as I tend my gardens and home, allowing myself to be available to others, as needed or guided. Your presentation of the Saint Francis prayer it’s lovely!🙏💗

Loved this course. Wish I had you for my yoga training. I seek to have the confidence and courage to be able to share your teachings to my students. I’ve just completed the 10 days and it has filled me up with a renewed love of god and the gifts we have been given. Thank you.

New way of taking in the words of a familiar quote. Resonating on the meaning not just the words.

Perfect, thank you! I am rushing to go out somewhere, and I told myself I needed to stop and just do a short meditation! Lovely music, and the thought of meditating with many others around the world at this moment is inspiring ♥️

I think this is one of the very best courses on IT. I absolutely loved it and looked forward to each day. I love Brian's soothing, calming voice and the accompanying music. The words are to live by, simple and yet so moving. I am going to start again from Day 1 to really let it all sink in. Deep gratitude to you Brian for your beautiful work.
