Very helpful to me. With some meditation guidance, I feel like I'm fighting against the nature of my mind. This practice felt like working within my mind as it is. Thank you.

Change is the only constant, embracing it is critical to cultivating a peaceful existence - this session captures that insight perfectly. 👌

Goldstein’s guidance is clear, steady, and easy to follow- making it feel natural to begin again each time thoughts arise.

I noticed that desire to me seem to be a lovely feeling without a strong attachment to the thing yet wanting seems more like a needing feeling with an expectation. I can now be more mindful when these feelings come up and yes, make a decision. Thank you for all the meditations you share. Please do more! 🙏✨💖
