What a special and powerful meditation, Mark- to send kind thoughts, our heart and compassion to those who need it in the world, provided we first direct it to ourselves. Thank you for all your teachings and sharing 🙏🏾☀️🌺💚

Very calming. Loved it. There is a siren in the background near the end, but the calm I was feeling helped it flow through rather than creating a fear jump.
