Hi Ray, thanks for this. I can’t tell you how much I needed to feel at home in my body today. Yesterday was tough as I had to spend my second full day “out” with my new students at school. While they were wonderful and accepting, I came home exhausted and feeling dissociated with my body. This meditation has helped me feel more grounded and affirmed with who I feel on the inside. May your day be filled with joy! ❤️

Great meditation to help with being with difficult emotions & increasing tolerance. Guided stages to sit with those feelings without getting overwhelmed. Supportive & soothing thank you 🙏

This was really nice. I only wish there was a little more direction in finding the blog post; none of my searches have brought it up. Thank you!

Embodied Tonglen! Very helpful. Breathing in Authoritarianism and terror, breathing out peace and ease. A timely practice for the times we are in.

This was VERY good. It bears at least one more listen for me, probably several more. I believe the technique will be useful. Thank you so much. I have been dealing with addictive behavior for MANY years. This is another good tool to put in my toolbox.
