I return to this meditation every few weeks to tune up my practice. I feel so calm when Diane softly takes you through all the typical intrusions and I really love the self compassion moment at the end. A really great way to get back on track, start your day or wind down after stressful times.

I was *almost* able to stay in my body the full 3 minutes. Definitely saving this one to do often.

Very helpful instructions. I appreciate the silence. Some of these guided meditations have no spaces. This one gave me a chance to practice in silence while still feeling supported. More like this please!

I’m so happy to find Diana’s tracks on Insight Timer! I was introduced to her guided meditations via UCLA Marc over a decade ago and they have profoundly changed my life. Thank you for sharing your gift and bright light with us!
