Such a beautful voice!

Lovely, thank you.

Fab!

Thank you so much

Just as I was starting to grasp the guidance of this meditation, you introduced the imagery of the ocean. This came at the perfect moment! This image, as well as the waves, dinghy and yatch really deepened my understanding. Thank you! I will be returning to this meditation again and again.

Lovely!

Excellent, helped open & broaden my focus in a kind, balanced way.

Thank you for this reprieve!

Lovely! I especially like the boat metaphor, which I have tweaked slightly to that of an inexperienced sailor tossed about and that of an experienced one guiding their little boat with ajustments to the sails and an awareness of the wind.

Really lovely thank you!

Thank you for this beautiful soothing meditation 🙏🏼 Your voice and instructions are so calming!

Really nice meditation, thank you! I also joined your recent live meditation and was looking for the recorded version you mentioned but can't seem to find it. Could you tell me what it his called? 8/4/21

Thank you Vidyamala

Hits just the right note - this practice is so important and really speaks to me in these trying times! Thank you! 🙏

Thank you for the image of the yacht and the gentle firmness in your guiding, for me from bobbing in the waves to calm overview. Thank you!

Beautiful and peaceful. I came to this meditation feeling tense and with self pity.
Whilst not all gone I now feel calmer .

Excellent meditation. Thank you.

Good reminder to focus on the small sensations of life. Very grounding, very relaxing. The pauses allowed quiet time for reflection and breathing, and I always like when meditations include the bell at the end. Will come back to this one.

So kindly and freeing. Thank you🙏
