excellent, I gave many glimpses of my authentic self, this guidance is very clear. I feel I am in an A road rather than a B or C track. This is direct guidance which is easy to understand and cuts out a lot of suffering which can occur on the spiritual path.

Thank you for this meditation that is both informational and experiential. Residing in the quiet and stillness within us truly feels like home, peace, wholeness and love.

This is a talk and is instructional rather than a meditation. I will return to this technique as needed during the day. . Thank you.

I have just completed the series of meditations to get an overview of this approach and I really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to going back over it in more detail. Lots of gems of advice and wisdom. Great teacher and great voice.

This is the ultimate guide for silencing the mind. Also your voice is perfect for this. Soft and warm.

I was amazed at how quickly I became aware of the inner stillness from Elliot’s guidance, his calm voice, and the breathing technique. I’ve never experienced this deep peace so quickly, nor have I held it for as long as I have with what Elliot taught here. I’m Soooo grateful! 🙏🏼♥️🇨🇦🪷

Elliott, thank you for this 2.0 version - this was exactly what I was looking for in my practice to take it to the next level and embody the heart connection and presence beyond “the cushion.” I was first introduced to you several years ago on an Insight Timer “ Live session.” Your live had a profound effect on me and allowed me to drop my conditioned self/ego and witness my true essence and presence experientially. I have since learned your practices to go into presence. This 2.0 course, however, so resonated with me at this time! Thank you for the language to help go from person to presence … this is beyond transformative and will serve as road map to cultivate a lovely human life! Namaste❤️
