I have much gratitude for your teachings and practices, feeling peaceful.

Interesting info about the brain and why this helps, followed by a lovely and powerful practice

Great commencing explanation, followed by a powerful, centering practice. Namaste.

Great approach.

What a release of stress for me... I’m packing to move on my own. Moving has a lot of trauma ptsd for me and meditation is always essential for me, especially now👌🏻

Soothed my nervous system from a panic state to calm

Thank you so much 🙏

Perfect amount of silence and guidance. No music which is a change for me. I enjoy the silence today.

Amazing, thank you 🙏🏻

Beautiful practice

Thank you for giving me hope that I can slow down my breath and find peace...

Relaxing

Wonderful, thank you 🙏

That was truly lovely

Got lost in my breathing. It was an experience I plan to learn. Thank you so very much

Thanks Rick! With gratefulness for the Esalen workshop yrs ago w/you & yr wife. Best, Marguerite Graham

clear explanation and directions.
the step-by-step instructions help even my wandering mind reach some moments of experiencing whole body breathing.

Simple, direct, and deeply calming.

Cool thanks

Love it

Very helpful - calm embodied.

The bell was a nice touch!

Fantastic thanks Rick 😊 a positive experience 😀

Excellent

It was interesting and effective.
for the most part took me away from the constant musings of my mind and into my body and consequently the now.
Thank you.
It’s always a pleasure listening to one of your guided meditations.

I’ve never been able to understand the value of whole body breathing. I’ve also found it really hard to do. This meditation dissolved both of those issues for me, taking me to a wonderfully relaxed space. Thank you Rick!!

Thank you 🙏

That worked for me. Thank you!

Some science, a lot of good deep breathing that really wrings me out like a sponge.

One of my favorite ways to practice :)

Very relaxing

Great

Focused, cleansing breaths..helps me feel centered and great way to start the day.

Bra sätt att komma bort från huvudet

This kind of awareness is a perfect way to start my day. Thank you!

Such a great audio. Enjoyed the breathing exercise a lot. Every part of my body feels relaxed 😌 Thank you!

Still using this slow guide to breath.

Very relaxing. Thanks

Interesting info about the parts of the brain and a refreshing new way of meditating with breathing. Just what I needed. Sometimes a small change can make a big difference.

Best guided meditation I've done in years. I love how he explains what's going on in your brain and what the effects will be post meditation.

Noticed much deeper breathing and less room for distraction. I liked it and continued on a further 10 mins or so. Would definitely do again.

That was amazing, felt so calm and at peace, no stress or or anxiety

Thank you 🙏

I really loved this. Deep sense of relaxation and awareness of whole body breathing. Thank you 🙏

Wow - my breathing really slowed down and I was incredibly relaxed. I will definitely practice this technique in future. Thank you 🙏🌻🥰

Incredibly relaxing …
plus, I realised that in learning to meditate I have been focussing TOO MUCH
on the diaphragm.

Focusing on my breathing is new to me. This is helpful with breaking it down into sections, allowing for progression of focus.

So soothing 💛

Simple. Eloquent. Effective. Mahalo.

That was wonderful. I can't wait to go back to it.

Excellent

Very good! I love the explanation of what’s going on in the brain at the beginning.

Very calming and insightful.

I like it. Solid back to basics meditation.

Much grateful for this experience 💜🙏🏼

Amazing meditation.. loved the focus purely on breathing

Wow, just wow! I'm speechless. That was so simple and effective. It reminds me of a slightly less mind-altering holotropic breath work session. Thank you for sharing this practice with us 🙏🏼

Wonderful! Thank you! ❤️

Breath work through your hole body... That was new for me. And that was awesome. Thank you.

Brilliant

Excellent meditation experience.......❤️

Lovely. I study feldenkrais method, and this gestalt approach is familiar. But I've never done this before. Also now I need to read more about activation of medial networks!

Thanks

A beautiful peaceful practice!!

Great experience and awareness thanks

Lovely session

Tried this after a busy day at work ❤️. Felt very relaxed after 😊 will def revisit this meditation 🙏

Extraordinario 🙌

Great balance between verbal direction & quiet to try out the experience. Thank you for your teaching. 🙏🏻

Works for me. I will try it on my own.

Thank you

Nice concept. Body scan on steroids. Very helpful, thank you.

This exercise deepened my meditative practice significantly. Thank you for creating this valuable guidance.

Thank you for such a beautiful teaching guided meditation. I will try to keep practicing it more

Well paced. I'm definitely going to be recommending this.

such amazing sense of peace

Really effective guidance, and helped me understand the term I was curious about, and the practice. I really enjoyed it and will be doing more of it. Thank you.
