Not only do I like his voice, I appreciated that he was silent at times as we scanned the body.

My favorite meditation by far. I use it on busy days at work to reset, and to conclude each group I lead.

Return to my favorite. I like the mental challenge of pausing to sit for a 10-min practice + an even bigger mental effort to switch from System 1 to System 2 (based on Thinking Fast and Slow;)! Also find it fascinating what surfaces vs assumption of what might… Beautiful practice. Beautiful execution. With deep respect for your work.
