Perfect for before bed!

Great reminder of the simplicity of meditation 💜

Lovely. Not too long if you just want a pit stop and return to your self just for 5 minutes. Effective and calming.

Nice, gentle reset. I liked the moment of silence at the end.

Calm voice and no music with silence to be with the breath. Facilitates connecting to the breath on multiple levels. Quite liked this.
