My goodness, this was so heartwarming. I'm new to meditation and this is truly the first time that a session resonated with me. I felt so much in sync that I was doing things a few seconds before you said them. At the end holding my heart, I smiled, feeling calm and happy. In fact that moment was so beautiful that I almost teared up. I had to stay in that position for just a few minutes more after the track was done, not wanting that wonderful feeling to go away. Thank you so much for making me feel this way. With this track you have created a true gem.

I first listened to this meditation during the mindful morning challenge on IT several years ago. I loved it then and I love it now. I’m so glad to find it again so I can add it to my morning playlist.
