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.

I love her deep and calming voice. This meditation of being present by focusing on breath or our hands and feet was perfect. I hope to use this practice in my day to be more present.
