Just what I needed

These short meditations are so well done. Today I felt stressed and did two app meditations that didn’t help. I played one of these and it helped. I liked her explanation of why and how staying present can calm us and help us heal from the effects stress and unpacked emotions can cause.

she does a great job of setting up meditation that works for everyone.

I do wish she talked more. But I love the meditation and it works great for me to sleep.

Just do it, trust me!

These 10 minutes are the most precious minutes of my day. I’ve found myself tuning in so much that I made it a habit. Now I can’t start my day without Kathryn (although I do listen other times too when I need it). I love how approachable and simple the meditations are. Especially because meditation has a stigma of being mysterious and rigorous. The easygoing atmosphere is delicious! And as someone with PTSD, anxiety, perfectionist tendencies, etc. I can actually get out those for a bit. What a sweet relief! My therapy when I can’t get therapy. Thank you Kathryn!!

Excellent

Easy to do, not too long and always starts my day off peacefully. Thank you, Karhryn.

Found this very helpful today.

The meditations here are kind and do-able. The sonorous voice and calm intent helps so much.
