Reviews

Mot for a beginner, but a beautifully still peaceful meditation. A reminder of what I am missing in my meditation practice.

I really appreciated this meditation. It's so spacious. Plenty of room to feel into and embody the practice. I also love the invitation to breathe in a quality and breathe out a quality: this helped me descend from my head to my heart. Thank you very much.

Nice lightly guided thanks!

Beautiful, thank you!

I enjoyed the nice long quite pauses between guidance(no music). Just enough direction to keep you focused. Definitely aimed toward the more advanced students.

Not for beginners, the silent periods were excellent, allowed me to expand my consciousness. Namaste

Lovely, quiet yet profound meditation.

Excellent use of quiet and instructions.

Perfect as I send love to a struggling, sick friend. I appreciated the practice of also giving love to myself.

Very nice loving kindness companion

Very simple. I appreciated the silence, so I could delve into the meditation and focus on breath. No music. It worked for me.

Found this at exactly the right time. Perfect. Thank you.
