Day 1. Day 2. Day 3. Day 4. Day 5. Day 6. Day 7.
I drifted off the whole way through and missed everything. 🙈
Today, I noticed every part of my body expanding with the in breath and contracting with the out breath. Amazing. 🙏.

Thank you so much, Stephen, I find your sessions very soothing ❤️I’ve been meditating for 805 consecutive days in insight timer but only about 10 days ago did I discover your sessions and I feel like I found a treasure trove!

My meditations are usually 15-25 minutes long and as you can see it’s been a while, yet I never really understand if my practice is progressing or if I’m becoming a good meditator.

What are the signals that indicate to me that my practice is progressing? How do I know? :)

Thank you so much again!! ❤️

Thanks for this lovely meditation , Stephen. A perfect balance for me between guidance and quiet spaces. Namaste 🙏

I enjoyed the section "softening into the hearth center" but my logical and reasonal mind prevent me to feel and experience expanding of breath in whole of my body(doubt to teacher arises). What should I do?

This practice of opening & then softening on the out breath really helped me release something I was not aware I was holding on to. A kind of TLC for the soul. So glad for this practice! 🙏🏼
