I appreciated Hugh’s calm voice, and the thoughts and knowledge he provided throughout the course. The poems were beautiful, and hearing them within the frame of meditation made me relate to them.
I will really keep an eye out for more of Hugh’s meditations and I might come back to this course in order to re-enjoy it.
Thank you! 🙏🏼

Now, at the end, I realize how much I have responded to Hugh’s gentle voice. The selected poems were a good help for the meditation practice. I also appreciated the background information which grounded the course in research results. Thank you for a truly supportive meditation course! 🙏

Through the years have grown to love and appreciate Hugh Byrne as a teacher and fellow traveler. These lessons are timely as well as timeless. Just as he exhorts me to, I come back and back - each time with a different perspective, allowing openness and awareness. What a generous gift to myself.

Thank you so much for putting this course on Insight Timer. I have learnt so much and the poetry really helps to reinforce everything you say. Thank you 🙏

A full to the brim course with so much that is grounding and practical balanced with spirit and exploration. The poetry is a welcome addition that provides depth and coherence. I settle in to Hugh’s voice like a favorite comforting blanket. Thank you.

Having listened to Hugh recite poetry during live sessions, it was a pleasure to build on that in more depth. The review of various aspects of mindfulness went well with that. Looking forward to his other courses.

This was a wonderful course! I look forward to repeating it again and again.

Thank you for a well-balanced and thought-provoking overview of the aspects of meditation as encapsulated in the accompanying poems.

A lovely course. I wish that I had access to all the poems that w ere mentioned. They were beautiful choices. Some familiar, some new. Thank you Hugh!

Wonderful! Thank you so much! Great practices and lessons. A guided flight through the blue sky!

I really loved this course. Using poetry as a lens for meditation resonated with me. Thank you!

Absolutely transformational! Hugh is a guiding soul on mindfulness. For beginners, I would recommend to take class 7 and then go back to class 1: Hugh gives a masterpiece on thinking vs. mindfulness.
