I would love if you could make one of these where one of the affirmations isn't be healthy- For those of us with chronic illnesses, who will never be 'healthy'. Something like, may I be cared for or may I care for myself might be a nice replacement. Otherwise I love this meditation!

Perfect for when we don’t have a lot of time, but we still want to practice loving kindness. I like to do this meditation first thing in the morning. Thank you. 🙏❤️

This has provided me with the perfect way to support my granddaughter while she studies in a slightly precarious country– she knows that I do it with a focus on her in the mornings and so she can tap into that whenever she feels vulnerable. Thank you I continue to find this really lovely but just wondering if you could re-record it a little more slowly in the second half – just slightly longer gaps between phrases to allow time to reflect
