Thank you for these inspiring thoughts and a good day you brought to me 🙏 by the way, you are the only English speaking person I usually listen to 😃

Excellent message and reminder to keep the negativity at bay, don’t fall victim to the despair. Do it for yourself but also the collective consciousness. Step outside your misery by reshaping the internal dialogue. Thank you for this talk and meditation!

Trying to cultivate the opposite in our thoughts or feelings can often feel unattainable. However, Suzanne does a lovely job guiding listeners to find gentle, compassionate, attainable thoughts to counter their darkness. I also love the idea of caring for and nurturing our shared consciousness in this world, which is an idea that has also been on my heart and mind. Many thanks!
