This short meditation led me into a longer sit of nearly 25 minutes. My deep bows to this teacher. I am now following him and shall return to learn more. Feeding my soul ☺️namaste 🙏🏼🕊️🎶

This is the corner stone sit. I started with this, I’ve done it innumerable times. And I always return to it.

I loved the practice of scanning like it was the first time I inhabited this body! Loved!

Simply sublime! I've listened to Gil for almost 15 years from across various oceans. He must be one of the gentlest people on this planet! I suspect he's probably enlightened. A true Bodhisattva.

Gil's guidance is wonderful. Calm, collected & consice, allowing space for our own work within the meditation. One of my favourite teachers over the past decade 🧡
