Being kind to oneself means accepting what and who you are. Something I need to practice daily and will set this intention. Thank you for this lovely guidance.

This was a delightful practice. I felt my body relax all over. I didn’t know self-compassion was this powerful! 🌸

Such a lovely meditation - the poem, the guiding words, the silences. Thank you, Hugh!

Usually, 30 minutes is too long for a meditation for me, but this one, I was surprised when it finished. I was able to deeply rest and relax. Much gratitude.

Thank you Hugh, I have been both enjoying and learning a lot from these meditations. What I really got aware of are urges and distractions that have become linked especially to my meditation practices. That was very helpful and I appreciate that I can now sit and know that I am “quite normal” even when my mind races, preparing for the next ‘to do’ or instead of being here and now. I hope to be able to get over my bad habit of procrastination with help of your meditations here on Insight Timer. Thank you!
