People can use these meditations in whatever way works for them (and they do use them in all sorts of unexpected ways). It's wonderful, though, to see that it's led you to discover meditation. What a great story! You are welcome, and thanks for sharing this.

Let me explain! The first night at the hotel I couldn't sleep due to my Dad 'sawing wood', but the second night I came up with the brainstorm of downloading and listening to your guided meditation to help block out the buzz saw like noise, bringing me to a peaceful, restful and relaxing slumber. What is cool, is that now that vacation is over, I'm still using the Simply Being app and discovered the app's true purpose: teaching meditation. A strange way to discover meditation, but I'm glad I did. Thanks. Mary, don’t be offended, but I downloaded Simply Being as something calming to listen to while on vacation with my Parents.

I have been listening to your programs through Itunes and spreading the word! I recently felt an amazing release after meditating to the "open your heart" selection. I could truly feel my energy shift and my heart open.

I too suffer from anxiety, mainly just before I go to bed. I have trouble going to sleep and staying asleep. I actually found you while I was on vacation having anxiety late one night....the first time I heard your voice, it was like an angel had been sent to me......I have only been meditating now for 2 days and don't really know what I am doing but I feel so much better as you help me relax and fall asleep. I look forward to listening to something different every night. Thanks again : ) Mary, your voice is mesmerizing and such a peace for me. I too suffer from anxiety, mainly just before I go to bed.

I've purposefully avoided sharing a lot about my personal viewpoint as I want Meditation Oasis and the meditations to be a place that will support people in their own discovery. My hope is that the meditations represent what is universal in the human experience and the "meditative" experience. I'll have to give some thought about whether to share more in the future. Best wishes. Thank you for your interest in my spiritual life, nihal.

Of course there isn't any religious aspects in your meditation, just wondering =) btw i am quite religious i do meditation with www.bkwsu.org, but i find good variety in your 'freestyle' as well. i think most of your meditations will help anxiety. anxiety is just a medical term, the actual cause the meditations will correct.
