I’ve been flitting about, listening to a variety of talks and guided meditations trying to find the guidance I thought I needed. And then I stumbled into this course. Sometimes you just need a subtle shift in perspective gained by listening to someone else describe the same scene in order to see clearly, to remember what you heard before, learned before, experienced before. Incredibly helpful combination of wisdom and practice. Thank you. Your voice is soft and calm but due to a brain injury I sometimes struggle to identify specific words. I renewed my paid membership to Insight Timer just so I can rewind a few seconds when useful. 100% worth it.

The course “You Are Not Broken” resonates deeply with me. I am very grateful. It is important we all realize that losing a week or more of mindful practice doesn’t mean we have failed. As Steve said, “Every moment matters.” Begin again. 🫶✌️

These past seven days have connected me with the very essence of life. Sometimes I forget that all the answers lie within me that I can find peace again simply by choosing to feel it. This beautiful course serves as a reminder that we can experience joy regardless of external circumstances. From the depths of my soul, thank you so much.
