This course is truly a lifeboat in a stormy sea. As a 73 year old retired nurse, I so wish I had found this decades ago! But it’s never too late to do some self healing from the stresses that life throws at us. Nice to know I can revisit this as needed. Many thanks. 🙏🏻 ☯️💚🪷

I use my daily runs as meditation. Today, I came across this course and binged on it. Glad I did. New mantra. Island of peace in a sea of chaos. Also, I think for the first time I used the Hawaiian forgiveness prayer for myself. I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you. Thanks for this simple and effective course. Scott.

Much gratitude for this course. As a 70-year-old man who started meditating about eight years ago, I’ve joined several Insight Timer courses and countless meditations. A few have deeply resonated, and this is one of them: pragmatic, accessible, and actionable. Even after eight years of meditation, I still feel this fear clamping around my heart that feels locked in place. But now I recognize it, forgive myself for it and change the thinking. Many thanks.

I throughly enjoyed Mary Beth’s course . With everything going on in this world having her messages about how to be an island of peace in a sea of chaos is so very helpful and resonated with me . To have access to it with a click is like having a lifeline . I am track swimming for a living and was a certified lifeguard almost 40 years and recently retired from guarding though still teach , my passion.
