Fantastic!!

very helpful to gain some peace when feeling active overwhelm

Very calming. Thank you.

Simple and crucial process for moving through resistance…integrating this process within is a good bridge from an auto-regulatory to a self-regulatory orientation. Thank you.

So much love and gentleness in her voice - Thankyou Colette

Thank you.

Colette, i love the down to earth way you present your guided meditations. They are all different from the usual run of the mill breathing and feel-good exercises and definitely among my favourites. Thank you and please know your practice is doing people good 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you. Just what I needed in this moment 🌟

Enjoyed the meditation. Love the accent. Thank you.

Ahhh excellent. 🙏🏽

Collette, thank you for sharing your meditation! I love your voice. This meditation is so perfect for me. I love how you named and normalized resistance. Offering a gentle way to access and work with it! You are a treasure! ❤️

Very meaningful for me ....... I am drawn to your beautiful voice. ⭐️

In kindness,
Hope

Thank you!

Thank you 🙏

Dank je wel 🖤

Thank you 🙏🏻

Wonderful meditation. Thank you for meditating with me💚🎶

My go to meditation 🧘‍♀️🙏

Thank you! This meditation helps lots to be more accepting and calmer during the day with strong pain levels and resistance to it. It enables me to then be more fully with what is actually there to enjoy, despite wanting things to be different.

Very interesting, I will be doing this meditation several times. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.

Excellent. Would love to have a longer version with this theme.

Thank you, that was really good, and - on a relatively random level I know - super nice to hear teachings in a Liverpool accent!

Effective, gentle. Gave me some useful insights into my resistance that need to be explored further. Great starting point for deeper work.

A very simple effective technique at being with and softening towards an unwanted experience. Well done. Namaste!

Difficult, but helpful. Thank you.

Very good and useful

This was such a helpful meditation. Like a kind friend who knows just what to say. Thank you.

Thank you. That was so useful. I feel better.

Excellent. I will use this on often. (Unfortunately!)

New to me
very interesting !!
will practice more
🙏🏼

Like the presentation and the voice helps the calm.

Power emotions pulled from within...tears!

Such a compassionate process to sit with uncomfortable emotions. I come back to this recording time and again .

Very good leading to the center of resistence! Thank you!

This helped with anger.

Good instruction for me to understand what I can do when I can't necessarily focus on the breath- lean into the discomfort.

Very effective—thank you 🙏🏼

Nice Merseyside accent.

This is so helpful for me! Thank you!

Excellent.

You are helping me a lot with your words and your voice. Thank you so much.

Helped me release a lot of suppressed pain. Thank you

Beautiful practice and safe space to be open and allowing of all that is happening in the moment

Wonderful. Thank you

This one is SO helpful. Thank you, Collette. 🙏

So helpful and effective to ease some uncomfortable feelings. Gorgeous voice. Thank you.

That was exactly what I needed, thank you

I am struggling with some stuff right now so it was nice to try and focus on just one thing. I have ADD so I couldn't focus very easily but it helped me a lot.

Thank you- this always helps.

So gentle and compassionate. Thank you.

Haven't listened to this in a while - it's a lifesaver!

Helpful, thanks

So much compassion in her voice ❤️

Really helped thank you

Thank you, I feel a peace I've been searching for for a while.

Lovely voice. Feel a lot better.

Thank you. 🍃🌼🍃🙇‍♀️

Compassionate, loving and gentle. Like yoga with pillows and rice pudding on a cold night...

Helpful, supportive, kind as always. Thank you Colette.💜

Thank you 🙏

Wonderful. Thank you 🙏🙏

Exceptional- thank you Colette

So helpful

Nice thank you 😊

Thank you 🙏

Thank you..

I was a good nine minutes in before I got past resistance and touched the pain . .. Just a little contact to start. I think I need to do this one for a few days. Really good (scary) experience-thank you.

Helpful

Thank you for this practice 💖

Wonderful reminder to allow self to feel the experience and let go of my resistance to the difficult thing.

Simple and effective instructions to deal with difficult sensations or emotions

Focusing! Wow! I used to do this technique decades ago- thank you for reminding me of it... finding the "felt sense" gentle, kind, beautifully done with a Scottish accent no less! This is just the first part of it. Keep going and it can really help shift stick places. Wow. I had forgotten...
I thinking the book for anyone who wants to know more is Waking the Tiger by Peter Levine but then there's another small paperback book that's much older too... by Eugene Gendlin thank you thank you!

Beautiful. Helped me move closer to the pain & feel it rather than try to resist it. Beautiful voice. Thank you.

Very good, thank you.

Nice, gentle voice. Gentle, affirming approach.

I'm an ex-pat Liverpudlian living in Australia, ahh, your accent and the gentle voice was very helpful, thank you :)

Helpful 🌹 namaste 🙏

Lovely - very helpful - thank you.

Really wonderful way to learn to lean into the resistance. Thank you. 🙏

Difficult but necessary. Thank you.

Very valuable. Thank you! 🙏

Very helpful! ❤️🙏🏻
