I liked how this was short and to the point for days where I don’t have time to sit through a longer meditation. Thank you!

Kind and gentle voice...you definitely assisted me in facing this day with joy and possibility.

A really nice sweet meditation. I found that it moved a little too quickly from the loved person to the difficult person. It would be nice to have a little more time to settle in to the practice. 🙏

This is my favorite meditation that I’ve found thus far!!! Short but so powerful…thank you
