I am very ill at this time. Feeling anxious and discouraged about my path back to help. This meditation has helped me feel like I can still “get it together”. I will save and listen again for support in my journey back to health. Both spiritually and physically, thank you so much ☺️🙏🏻🕊️🪶🍁

I found this helpful & calming. It helps to acknowledge the anxiety & to give myself permission, first to feel what I feel, & then to give myself permission to release. Thank you
