So powerful and resonating that I am starting it over again tomorrow. The anecdotes shared pull me in so deeply with compassion for others… my heart pours open for the beauty in those stories…helping to open it for myself. I feel this process healing the hardened exterior from my childhood traumas built up. Cried like a baby every session, some I had to stop and come back to. Powerful. Healing. Beautiful. Gratitude.

I absolutely enjoyed this as an intentional way to begin my day. I didn’t know that until I started and settled into your voice. The quiet times, with nothing but my breath, felt good and I almost went back to sleep! I have only been awake for a short time and my mind wasn’t too cloudy. A very settling way to begin a new day. Thanks a lot, Tara. 🪴🙂.

An incredibly profound message and one that I needed to hear today. I especially enjoyed the last poem by John O'Donoghue.

Perfect!!! I truly needed to get "out of my head". This meditation helped me do so.

After listening to this, I finally sat down to journal about a very difficult experience I had with my son and his wife. Facing up to the emotions was not easy, but it was very necessary. Thank you, Tara. I feel much lighter now, and I am ready to have that conversation with them. 💜🙏🏽🧡
