That was really a different music approach . It was easy to listen to each individual note and go very deep. I will come back to this one. Thank you

Really loved this short journey through a forest of very interesting trees, accompanied by a wonderful storyteller and fabulous little ensemble of musicians! ❀️

I enjoy your talks. I learn from your teachings. But the music is too loud and I find it distracting

Very interesting approach to being in the present. I like the example of trying to calm rough water with a flatiron. We don’t quiet the mind, rather it naturally quiets when free of outside stimuli. It’s a paradox because the stimuli are always there, yet I can learn to be like still waters in the midst of the storm. A paradox and a miracle. πŸ™πŸ»πŸ’ž

Great, the pauses where it is just music are perfect for reflecting on the teachings in between

Thank you! Glad I found this to remind me of what I know. I enjoy your voice as well with its (to me) soothing accent. πŸ™‚ πŸ™πŸΌ
