Such a lovely practice. I appreciate the periodic, kind reminders of noticing if the mind has wandered and returning, as well as other options besides the breath to bring you into presence.

It has taken me years to be able to finally understand Tara's "N" and feel it hardest to even understand self-compassion or loving kindness that comes so easily to me in my relationships with others. I'm glad I came back to it again.

Thank you Tara for this extremely valuable course. It has been a life raft in a turbulent sea and I find it therapeutic to plan on repeating it at regular intervals during these stressful times. Little gives me hope these days, but the wisdom woven throughout this course has given me a sense of peace that has been so elusive. It is comforting to know that I can return to this safe harbor as needed. Much gratitude to you. 🙏🏻☯️💚🪷
