Very soothing. A great meditation before sleep. Love the compassionate way of moving through the body 💫

Aptly titled. Very very nice and effective. Really lowered my stress!

wonderful just wonderful

Very beautiful and soothing. Thanks very much:)

I’ve been working with this meditation daily for a few weeks, and I can feel myself transforming, slowly and gently. I have chronic pain, and I have also been critical of my body — both of my perception of “how I look” and of my sensations of chronic pain — my whole life. Slowly, while working with this gentle meditation every night, I have been able to find a sense of compassion and love for myself exactly as I am right now in this moment. Last night, for the first time, I felt so much love for my body that I felt I didn’t need it to change in any way. I don’t know if that will feel profound to anyone else, but as someone who has always said, ”yes, I love my body to this extent (with the caveat that x or y HAS TO CHANGE)”, to just be able to say, “I love my body and x and y do not have to change for me to love x and y” is completely revolutionary. This is liberation work ❤️
