Vanessa’s work thrills me because meditation is so very much a part of my life but being a Christian and believing there is only One True God, it can be difficult to find recorded audio meditations that don’t go against my core beliefs. Weaving Scripture throughout her work is so refreshing and we need more teachers like her. It was a beautiful course Vanessa, thank you and God Bless your day!
