Another gem on the “jewel tree” of meditations you have generously shared with Us, Dear Sharon Saltzberg. In the past challenging year of my recovery, it was such a gift to be introduced to your healing voice and the wonderful Loving Kindness of “Meta” technique . With much gratitude and may Auspicious Blessings shower upon you and All Beings Everywhere ! ~Nilz in New Mexico 🪷💕🙏🏾☸️🕊️🕉️

Thank you Sharon 🙏❤️. It was my first time doing a meditation with you, and you took me to that place of stillness and love that we crave for. Much love and best wishes.

Another meditation treasure on the “Jewel Tree”! Thank you Sharon! Appreciate the long pauses where one has to sustain ones own focus and then rejoin your guidance when it comes. An interesting challenge as many teachers opt for a more constant narration. Fire Horse blessings from the forest of New Mexico 2026! ☸️🌳💎🙏🏾♾️🕊️🌲🔥🐴

Sharon is a great teacher and this meditation is one of my favorites to do in the morning, I feel very relaxed and ready to start the day afterwards.
