Especially liked the bits of humor. Very comforting. I’m going to use it just before I get out of bed during a huge transition time that I’m going through just now.

Wow, this was exactly what I needed this morning. I was feeling pretty anxious, and this helped. I will bookmark this meditation and go back to it again and again. Thank you very much!

Great. A quick, gentle, no-woowoo, practical re-set. The music was perfect for the rhythm of breath.
