I had already mentioned this in a prior review, but this is one of the most concise, clear, and wise explorations and practice around our often problematic relationship with the digital world, social media, continuing stream of bad news, helping us build awareness of our relationship, exploring tools to better manage that relationship. this is a practice I will return to repeatedly.

Loved the voice and words. Music was slightly overpowering for me.

Brilliant and fun! A new point of view on habits that I was trying to place in order from a lot of time. And the voice is relaxing! :D

A pleasant voice, clear diction, and a calm speaking style. The course opens with helpful tips presented in a clear and concise way. The guided meditations at the end of each session are relaxing, but quite short. As an introduction to the topic, this course is a good recommendation — thank you for that. Apparently, participants before me have also expressed a wish for longer meditations, as the teacher has created a follow-up course with longer sessions and more opportunity for contemplation, which I’m looking forward to exploring next.
