It did not work for me the first half. But when i was sitting in (remembering) my former beautiful alotment where i was so full of life and joy i realised the tention in my belly was gone. It is so important to overcome stress and fear. But when under attack very difficult to do. Cold showers and long walks also helps me. Thank you.

That was a great meditation. I’d like to come back to this again. I do often times forget about “just being.”

Thank you very much. It was very dufficult for me to connect my sadness with my stilness. In my stilness is light and in my sadness is no light at all. Now i understand i need to let it in to be healed by light not to take over my light. I will do this meditation very often in the coming time. I think my healing has finally begon.

Always one of my favourite meditations. Thanks again for the coconut cream coffee & your company. Being Canadian I can't say no to maple syrup so I added my own 😊 "Meditate everything" -- I love that. 🙏 💖
