My own thoughts surprised me. Focusing in on them made me realize how unconscious I am of the running stream, usually. I’ll keep practicing with this series. Thank you!

This old lady could just hug you for this meditation, especially for the final few minutes with what Mary Oliver was actually saying. The older I get, the more I discover how indeed my work is to be astonished and grateful, and to connect. I am so grateful to be connected here 🥰🙏🌳

Lovely! Brilliant and helpful. The way you use physical vision, internal perception, and conceptual “lenses” is impactful and also fun! Another keeper 🤩

I needed this right now. I was doing unconscious multitasking and my body was starting to let me know that I needed to stop doing that and give myself some quiet and ease. And behold here was this brand shiny new meditation from Larissa! Good medicine, my friend. Thank you so much.

This shorter version is excellent also. Labeling Past/future is really helpful! And really, I need to hang that poem on my wall 😆

You do keep knocking them out of the park, you know 🤩This is another superb one. Pacing was outstanding, techniques exquisitely right on. And hey, Mary Oliver 😍 I will share this one with my clients for sure. Thank you so much, Larissa. Looking forward to anything and everything you offer here.

Another keeper 😍 I love the somatic orienting of stretching out fingers and toes to come back into the present moment and into the body 🤩What an excellent tool! Delighted to be part of this sangha in some mysterious way out here on the Internet. I hope you have a really sweet day, Larissa. 🙏🌻
