Thank you for the gentle, precise instruction.

Tara-
Thank you so much. This is my first time listening to you. I’ve been struggling with so much anxiety and depression lately that i haven’t been able to settle and have a pleasant meditation even. My heart has just been pounding away, relentlessly. It has been an excruciating time for me. Well...You’ve just taken me off to a place that I haven’t been in what feels like forever. It felt so nice to be able to relax and just breathe. I felt like I was floating through space!!! This was a wonderful experience for me. I’m so so so very grateful.

Namaste
