This is so relaxing 🌟 Your gentle guidance is so soothing and nurturing 🌟 It created such a shift in my brain that it’s OK if you can’t fall asleep, that deep rest is so beneficial. It gave me permission to stop trying to force sleep 💤 However, I did fall asleep before the end! I woke up very briefly to silence, took off my earphones and have slept peacefully all night! I love this track and will return to it. I’ll check out your other tracks too. So glad I found you here on IT 🙏🕊️🤍🕊️🌟

After a tired morning I practised this and had a good much needed rest. Thank you for this.

This course completely changed my perspectives about naps. I never gave myself the time to listen to my body and slow down. It makes sense to take these rest periods, which always made me feel better afterwards. I never fell asleep during them, and sometimes wished they were longer durations. But it made me realize that even 15 to 20 minutes is beneficial.

Hi Mandi! Your tracks are my go-to when my body needs rest. I miss your lives very much. I haven’t been able to join the 7am EST ones. I hope to catch one of them someday soon. I hope you’re well. 🥰
