🙏🏼🩵 many big breaths of recognition as this brutal part felt seen

Lovely thanks

Very beautiful and supportive practice, thank you for sharing!

Wonderful! There is more here in 4 minutes than I ever expected! Thank you Sarah 😊🌻💛

It went very quickly! I loved it but I think I'll need to pause to really focus on the wonderful words being said.

Thank you. Realization that my gentle loving heart has been fighting my demanding mind forever and I seen it as a real sword duel of two masters ... never-ending

Great guidance and really great questions to use to open dialog with self. I love it!

Resonated a lot for me

The visualization about protecting your heart was triggering for me because of a past self harm event. I cried, but it was a good release and I felt a little better by the end. Thank you very much.

Helped me connect to the parts of myself that need my compassion.
Thank you so much

As always, Sarah is insightful in completely unexpected ways that are always dead on. It was very helpful and I am going to listen to it on repeat.

Very witty and grounding. The humor was unexpected fun

Short but sweet. Is your heart carrying others broken ❤️? Thank you for this.

A well needed meditation session. This was the perfect one for me. Thank you.

I think this is a wonderful meditation. There is so much good stuff here. If you slowed down a bit and included quiet spaces between suggestions there are enough thoughtful contemplations to fill up 20 minutes or more. I hope you will continue and am looking forward to hearing more from you.
