Dear Jack, I will trust my Calm steadiness instead of my fears...I have set this as a intention I pull up at least once a week, since the New Year began. What peace I have through the storms of life... I'm so glad I've found you...not realizing you were world renowned...what an honor to listen and learn an do my best to apply the teachings from your insight Timer tracks... Thank you so much! Blessings & Hugs 🫂 to You! Donald James Dodge Palm Springs CA 🌴

Thank you for this. I’ve been struggling with some conflicts and work and don’t know how to approach it. This meditation came at the perfect time and helped me to see a different, compassionate and authentic, way to address it.
