A great vagus practice to add to my tool kit, including something new: shushing. Thank you.

Wow, this is perfect. Beautifully executed. I struggle with background music and hearing someone speak, so I really appreciate having no music. Well done!

Thank you for the tools! This meditation was just what I needed. Now I just have to remember to use it when I am activated.
