Profoundly expansive and quietly delightful to experience.
Thank you teacher

Each step of this MIDL program has been so very beneficial...gratitude for illuminating a path to stillness that is so structured and progressive...loving it 🙏

Amazing experience! Thank you.

Stephen hello and profound thanks. I have been listening to your many offerings for over two years and I consider you to be one the best guided meditators on insight timer..... less talk, more silence to actually practice! 🙏🏼
So I have a question. Is the aim of this practice to feel the sensate qualities of hardness, softness, pressure and temperature as they occur in the moment?
If so, how does this benefit our spiritual practice?
With humble thanks

Hey Stephen. I have been listening for a week but I can't quite understand how I can loose the perceptual boarders. I can sense (say at the hands) the qualities at the meeting point. So that is how I know there seperateness. I feel the air on my skin, that is the borderline of my body and the room ? Thank you very much for your time and providing us with these amazing teachings out of the kindness of your heart. I believe this teaching to be a successful transcendence of suffering and a life practice

Very good exercise for expanding your awareness that the connection between to your body is within the mind

Really enjoyed this body awareness session. Feeling into where I am in the space of my room. Thank you

Loved this practice in particular and the systematic approach MIDL offers

Nice guided meditation to understand how the limits of the body dissapeared, nice and relaxing a good practice to repeat alone

This meditation made me aware that we are constantly giving and taking from our environment and made of the same elements. It made me think that I want to be more conscious of what I contribute.

Thank you, Stephan, for this meditation. Profound and calming.

Thank you for this. Very peaceful time with you.

Thankyou the hands stood out to me.. i really enjoyed this meditation ...
Namasté🕉🙏

Good meditation. And the volume is reasonably audible again.

Really enjoyed this one and the practice of perceptual borders! My hands blended with each other, my lower body blended into my cushion, my whole body blended with the Universe. I sat quietly for a while longer after the guidance was over and practiced my new lesson. Thank you Stephen.

Great guided meditation! Really really allowed me to loose the borders of my body. Thanks a lot for this gift.

I love the way focusing on the peripheral borders of conscious experience gives the wandering mind something strange & new to wonder into!

So perfect for my mindfulness meditation practice. Thank you !

Not keen initially on his pace of his voice but actually this is a very helpful practice and his voice has a light touch which doesn't interfere with your concentration. Will return to this one 🙏
