Today I will welcome the stillness of windless, reflective water, yet allow occasional, natural disruptions - notice - take pause - and return to calm. Thank you

Well.... on and off for about a year. Having taken the time to gently meditate in between enhanced the course for me even more. Thanks and blessings. šŸ™šŸ½āœØļø

I loved the visualisation of still water and the quieter I become the more I can see.

This was one of my favorite courses on Insight Timer. I fully intend to work through it again. It came to me at the exact right time and really supported my growth, healing, and development.
