Wonderfully grounding and relaxing. Perfect guidance for the end of the day. I also think it would be great to listen to in the morning to prepare for the day ahead. Thank you Tara, you are a gifted teacher.

Beautiful 🙏. The breath is my go to anchor most times, however when breathing is troublesome I tend to use my body scan to find a pleasant sensation and make that my anchor. The sound anchor I have to be selective with as it can feed into feelings of overwhelm if I'm already feeling that way. I am sensative to sound, I need a surrounding of my choosing to use sound as my anchor, but when the conditions are right, it's probably the best alternative to my breath. Thank you Tara 🙏

I had a difficult situation arrive yesterday. I was deeply triggered by someone. Very old feelings from an inner story came to the surface. This meditation found its way to me at the perfect time🧚🏻‍♀️🙏🏻
