Thank you Danielle. My 2nd listen. Soothing, healing from deep pain within from grief. Your words are very soothing and healing. How the meditation flows through deeper healing of the wounds that lie deep within the heart with an invitation to move ahead peacefully accepting the darker places where fear and other difficult emotions arise and to be with them and not avoid or suppress them. It is very freeing. Feelings of shame begin to dissolve as does the war within me. Thank you again for being a part of my healing journey.

The settling in was very calming, the letting go what no longer serves us was very freeing, the embracing of a new life of what we like to see for ourselves inspired gentleness, patience, loving kindness to ourselves and opening ourselves up to the possibilty of new relationships brings hope. Thank you so much Danielle. A beautiful meditation to return to. Blessings, Robt.

Beautiful and powerful philosophy. We don’t “want” to even acknowledge fear, and that is how I witness it getting it’s grip on me… it creeps up and gradually constricts. But if I say “hello , I see you are present,… what are you trying to tell me?” It then doesn’t have to linger, take hold, or control. A wise woman, Mary Margaret Moore, once said to me, “You have got to understand fear and make it your friend.” Thank you for this deep teaching .
