That was so lovely and I badly needed a reminder to be and embrace the quiet the silence that’s always there for us and especially needed right now in the very challenging times

Thank you very much for your wise talk,
Blessings

So meaningful!🙏🧡

I would like more on this subject. It is needed now more than ever.

Brilliant explanation of what mindfulness is and how it can help the individual and the world

Thank you Hugh for this inspiring talk which I listened to in my lunch break. It feel as if we are living through such challenging times. Helpful reminders to ' put own mask on first ' and to find stillness and clarity amid the anxiety. May you be well.

Yes! Beautiful words and effortless delivery.
So comforting to listen to.

I can’t articulate how deeply helpful this talk was. I’ve worked with a humanitarian non-profit for twenty years and lived in El Salvador for fifteen. Managing my own heart and mind went from difficult to almost impossible after 2016 U.S. election campaigns. I feel I’m just now emerging from the grief and anguish that year caused in me. This talk, in all its facets—its poetry, its philosophical reflections and insights—gave me a sense that I am not alone, that there is good reason to be hopeful, and that a path towards peace and presence is worthwhile. So deeply grateful for the gentle and profound instruction.

A reminder of how to live in today’s challenging world.

Clear, positive & inspiring guidance. Thank you

Well,this calmed me right down!
I had worked myself into an anxious,angry state of mind over a very minor frustration and knew I needed to start my day over. This was a very effective way to do it. Very balancing! Thank you do much
