Let my words speak directly to your teeth.

Teeth,

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that I haven't always loved the way you look.

I'm sorry for ignoring you when you've needed attention.

I'm sorry that sometimes I've eaten food that has harmed you.

I'm sorry that I haven't always kept you clean.

Very loving meditation for respecting and appreciating your teeth.

Honestly the first time I feel listening to something on this app daily feels good and intuitive!

I really enjoyed listening to that and it opened my eyes to A New Perspective on my teeth. I will share and continue to listen and practice gratitude for my teeth

Again thank you for being here and addressing teeth and gums

Thank you so much for this meditation. I cried a lot because I just had oral surgery and I had to take two teeth out , my wisdom tooth and one unexpected tooth. The surgeon was very direct but very nice and caring. This morning, I just realize how much I’m grateful for having most of my teeth and being able to chew and sing and laugh. This meditation I sent so much love towards my teeth. Thank you for this.

I love 🥰 this. Thank you. I have just started reading your book and I really love your writing style. You are so talented. 😊

Very unique way of respecting my smile and my ability to eat. Thanks

I have a lot of dental trauma that I'm just now realizing, and this seemed so oddly specific and compelling. Found myself tearing up hallway through, and some relief from the burden I've carried. Thank you

Absolutely gorgeous thank you for sharing your precious teeth meditation I am so grateful 🙏

Beautiful message! It’s never too late to say thank you to our teeth 🙏💖💕

Great

I have a lot of anxiety around my teeth and dental work, and this meditation brought me some peace.

Thank you for reminding me to thank my teeth! Will come back to this again :)

I love this! I never would’ve thought to thank my teeth! So thank you for bringing it forward in my life! ♥️ 🦷 🌹

That was the sweetest meditation I have ever heard.. Your meditation was a reminder that for all their cookedbess and cracks my teeth/smile is a blessing. I needed a teeth gratitude reminder. A prayer for those who' desperately need dental support: you May the tooth fairies and angels whom love everyone guide us to affordable, talented and kind dental help. Also, blessings to the dentists snd their staff who travel the world providing much needed dental support. 🧚🌎🙏💓

What a great idea this meditation is! It left me feeling glad to have teeth :)

Nice.

How sweet! Lovely!

Cool! Someone should record one like that for all the rest of my body! 🙏💜

Love this. Thank you.
