Reviews

Appreciate the encouragement to celebrate the return to breath when the mind wanders off during meditation. Thank you for all you are doing to support others Dave!

Minutes of silence to practice without directions.

Without “going away”, there could be no “coming back”. Thank you.

Thank you for this meditation and for the encouraging words 🙏

Takes discipline, but worth the challenge and experience.

Very good. One of the fee guided meditations I've done so far. Some if them feel kind of
saccharine, and it doesn't jive with me. I get irritated and can't follow. This was very good. It helped direct and challenge me toward practicing mindfulness.

Back to basics. Thank you so much for this peaceful moment of awareness!

Uncluttered focused meditation, clear, calm, quiet voice. Just right.

I enjoyed this meditation and found the silent spaces soothing. Thank you. ❤️

Lovely, kind voice and gentle guidance. Thank you 🙏

Wonderful long silences to sit with gentle suggestions. Breathing focus and some attention to sound. One that I will come back to again and again.

Practicing mindful meditation. Nice to have a teacher now and then.

Perfect. And love the idea of a free full mbsr course

the simplicity of this meditation is really helpful. the way it's worded also resonated with me very well, and i think it's one i can easily come back to!

I find Dave’s guidance really effective ….the voice, the pacing, the insightful suggestions …..very very centring …his own personality doesn’t intrude ….there’s no distracting music…can sense also how his own experience operates invisibly as a factor to aid the process, despite me being in such a polarised overly mental space

Very relaxing. Feel ready to begin my day being more present & mindful 🧘🧘🧘

Thank you! I appreciated the long stretches of silence you allowed so that we could get into the meditation.

I simply love this simple meditation! Thank you so much.

I am on week 2 of the Palouse MBSR 8 week course. I have used I Insight Timer consistently for nearly 5 years. I was concerned about tracking my meditation & was absolutely delighted to notice & use your body scan yesterday & the mention, I read in the Palouse course today that the sitting meditation, which I've always had difficulty with, is also available on Insight Timer. I enjoy watching my stats accumulate. I am so GRATEFUL for Palouse free method of MBSR, Insight Timer & you, Dave Potter.

I’ve been coming back to this one over and over and over again.
