I loved a parachute meditation. I was able to float with John’s calm words, and get deeper into medication than I have in quite some time. My body is fully relaxed, my mind is calm. I feel like I want to stay in this state forever.

I really enjoyed this practice with a nice balance of guidance with time to just be. I loved the wonderful nature sounds which were so relaxing and reminded me of a spring day here in England. I'll be listening again. Thank you John 🙏 Thank you for your kind message John 🙏 😊
