Excellent post! Meditation is truly an act of fine balance. An effort is also needed, while too much effort would derail the meditativeness. It is an act of fine balance that comes with practice over time just like when we learn any new skill.

Allison, thank you so much for sharing your (obviously amazing) corner of the world with us. We enjoyed visiting your village, going on the cliff and seeing the animals and birds (in our imaginations). We’re so pleased the meditations have helped you. You are very welcome, and good luck with your business!

Hi Mary, greetings from Australia. Thank you so much for the gift of your meditations. Letting Go has been my constant companion these last few weeks as I start my own business and navigate my way through a whole passel of emotions and experiences. You have enabled me to stay grounded and centred amidst this change and upheaval and I sincerely thank you for it. You’ve come down the Great Ocean Road of south west Victoria, to a lovely little seaside village and you’ve been with me as I sat on a cliff looking out over a raging surf coast – you’ve also been along for the ride when I went up to the ‘bush’ or mountains as you would call it .. on retreat – your voice mingled with the sounds of kookaburras, magpies and even a kangaroo or two. (Nature meditate was amazing up there) Oh, and the music you have on the tracks is also pretty awesome…
Take care now and lots of love to you and Richard

Hello.
And thanks for your good meditations..this phrase you wrote “The words can help dissolve the resistance. Letting go is not an active doing. No words or concepts can tell you exactly how to do it.”

I have started to sense the aliveness underneath the words and it’s so soothing and loving..Even some of your words have become like living words.. i can flow
a little easier..Thanks Teri
