Thank you for this beautiful and positive which was exactly what I needed to help me find the strength to get through another day. This is s a precious and empowering practice for days when we struggle to find the strength we need. Namaste

I don’t often have bad days. But today was definitely one. I’m going into a full Vipassana meditation but did this as a warmup and it was very healing. Thank you so much

beautiful meditation, really useful for this moment in my life ♥️

Love your soothing kind comforting voice and content. Be well dear Barbara.

A helpful, compassionate little meditation that I know I will return to whenever I need it.

Very comforting and compassionate. Thank you so much for sharing this lovely meditation. I felt calm and held while listening to this. Just beautiful, thank you. Namaste 🙏🏽❤️

Thank you for starting my day with me and bringing light! 💫

Excellent effective self compassion practice. It left me feeling refreshed and more hopeful. I loved the soothing voice guidance.

Truly powerful. Like a five minute hug. Honest, empowering and comforting.

SO GOOD, especially if you’re in a very challenging season. 10/10 recommend.

Very calming and reassuring. I will definitely come back to this one <3

Thank you. It helped change my emotional trajectory.

Encouraging words while acknowledging I might feel awful now - which I do. Thank you.

The first day of my 76th year and I found this to be a celebration. Namaste.

A kind voice of compassion. Thank you for this guidance. I'm married 32 yrs and recently discovered my husband had affairs in 2004-2006, and in 2010. I choose love but it's not easy holding painful feelings.

That was perfect and exactly what I needed! Thank you for the acknowledgment and validation

Lovely, loving, and calming. Thank you.

I was stroking the soft fur of my eldest cat when you noted that parts of us may feel good even whilst we're caught up in turmoil. It is true, and that was a really nice moment in a rough morning! 😸

Just what I needed to ground myself again. Thank you.

Very accessible mediation. Good for chronic pain acceptance and grieving.

Barbara’s calm demeanor and soothing voice is exactly what I needed this morning.
