Thank you for this. I have been using your words as prompts for myself and it’s been very effective. “Thinking” followed with “What is this?” I’m so grateful for teaching. 🤎

Really beautiful presentation. The archetype is relatable and you paint an image so that we all can embrace this for our selves 🙏

Fantastic! Thank you 🙏 One to continue practicing throughout my day... especially when unpleasant feelings arise in body and mind and I notice myself wishing they were not there! 😊

Something very comforting in simply muting my thoughts and allowing myself just to be. Thank you for this course.

This was so insightful; one of my grandmothers was a great model for this, the other, not so much! You’re right, we can all learn to be that presence for ourselves - thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
