Day 1. Day 2. Day 3. Day 4. Day 5. Day 6. Day 7.
Very relaxing. I did drift off and missed the end. 🙈
I love your meditations. 🧘‍♀️ No background music works really well for me. 🙏
On the 3rd day I heard guidance that I hadn't heard the first 2 times as if it was a different meditation. 😳. Obviously I drifted off the first 2 days at different times. 🙈
4. The meditation seemed shorter today somehow. 🙈
5. Missed the end again today.

Excellent

Thank you, Stephen, it’s always good to come back for some guidance. Have a good day.

Always great to come back to this important skill. I love how Stephen presents his meditations. Great for all levels of ability. Thank you.

A very interesting session, I've done 3 days in a row, and each day i enjoy/go into different details. Very rich - at the same time somehow 'general' and 'subtle'... Good one, congratulations...

I’m so grateful for this MIDL series. It has really helped me to deepen my practice. Thank you!❤️

Thank you

All the midl course is fantastic thank you Stephen for being so generous to share it.

Loved that this included longer periods of silence between instructions.

Short and sweet

This one challenges me to let the breath be. I somehow want to grab it and make it deeper, longer. This meditation helped a lot. Thanks.

The journey continues... Namaste

Watching the breathing without influencing it has always been very hard for me. A fine practice

Thank You

A great guided meditation for a less restrained breathing technique.

I appreciate the length of this series of meditations, which feel more do-able in my current life schedule. Logistics aside, this training in following the whole breath builds well on previous trainings. I love the instruction, 'rub your mind against the length of the breath'. I felt engaged, present and aware of non-controlled, deep and soft breathing.

These lessons have, and continue to be perfect for where I am in my meditation practice.

Excellent breathing practice!

I totally got the breath wow

Very nice. Thank you!
