Ruthie found her love of healing through yoga & meditation after struggling with Ulcerative Colitis since she was 15. After 8 surgeries, she is now living with an ileostomy bag, PICC line, & Crohn's Disease- continuing to heal on all levels. She uses meditation to practice acceptance and ease pain by awakening deep stillness- feeling whatever exists there. A common theme throughout her meditations is building curiosity toward pain in the body; using stillness and attention, we are able to communicate deeper with our bodies.

We are always asked to take a deep breath and this is where I connect with my gut. Loved this program. TY

I found this short track was just enough to settle me while waiting for my medication to take effect. Ruthie’s voice was soothing enough to listen which is important as others can add to the problem. Thanks Ruthie. 🙏

I like the simplicity of this one. The recording quality could be better. But it’s a helpful practice. 🙏

Thank you so much, Ruthie for this reminder that I can always go back to this light and self-heal, I feel better already ✨🤍

Really wonderful. Thankyou. Just a note that the 'opioid endemic' is what the government calls an introduced drug that is now to be withdrawn. Vilification. Opioids really allow some folks access to mobility and or rest. Thankyou

This is a number one recommendation by a fellow Crohn's patient aka myself. A "go to" meditation for any moment of any frustration I've been in. So grateful Ruthie for this one.
