How beautiful a practice you have created for us. Time, and effort are noted. I enjoyed the delivery, reasons and time to absorb what you were saying. I will return to this as a way to enjoy what is around and ideas to offer myself peace. Blessings your way, thanks so much for sharing. 🙏🕊️💫

Thank you so much for that morning meditation. It is somewhat longer than my usual morning intention setting. However, I really like the idea of using it weekly as a way to set intentions for the entire week.
