Critic reviews

“We suffer when we become separated from our deepest, truest nature. Heart Minded offers us guidance on the sacred journey home...helping us to awaken from our busy, never satisfied minds to the heartspace where love is always and already right here.” (Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance)

“A relevant, practical guide, full of inspiration to help you clear the channel of your heart and follow your truth.” (Elena Brower, best-selling author of Practice You)

“Gentle and wise, Blondin’s approach is characterized by the bedside manner of devoted midwife to your healing process. Like her voice, it is a soothing poultice for the weary-but-spirited seeker. Heart Minded will crack you open down the middle from page one. It is all at once a centering meditation, a practice, and an olive branch extended into the depths of your soul.” (Pixie Lighthorse, author of Prayers of Honoring)

heart mind of humans

this lovely piece of literature is in my top two favorite books in my life. the whole thing fulfilled me: The writing, Sarah's consoling voice, the music and the pauses. This has given me new legs. I'm highly grateful and uplifted by this beautiful work. Thanks Sarah, for talking to me like no one has ever. Only since the work of Alan Watts have I ever had such an experience with words.
I got a little concerned that the book was going to end so I just restarted it from the beginning. listened to it twice, thus far. 🤍

Feeds your soul

I absolutely adore Sarah Blondin. Her voice has guided me through some of the darkest times of my life. Highly recommend this book. Best went listened to. So so so grateful she found the courage to share her gifts.

Stunningly beautiful return to the heart space

This book was a treat and a delight I will return to over and over again. In soothing language, the author gently guides us back to that heart space which, for so many of us, has been buried by decades of conditioning. Thank you thank you thank you for such a beautiful work that fills my spirit with a sense of abundance and wonder.

A time for healing

This book is outstanding. I will be reading it for a lifetime ❤️ I’ve been on a healing journey for years doing therapy and lots of growth work, but this book hits to the core. Reading it will be a time of healing

So Nourishing for the Soul!

I’ve read/listened to many authors that have imparted great wisdom. This book though have this sweet salve to soothe the tender hearted. Helped me attain congruency with my mind and heart. And supported me to inquire about the relationship between my heart and my creative energy as well. The quality of her speech is really supportive to sit in the heart space while listening. Grateful to Mark Groves for turning this material on to me! 🙏

Soothes the Soul

Sarah has the most calming voice. I often times wake up in the middle of the night and I listen to her book. It takes all my anxiety away and keeps me relaxed when I would normally be anxious about being awake. The insights she shares are straight from the divine. Her words are medicine for the soul. I highly recommend this book!

A soothing, loving voice to guide you

Oh how I have needed this. I resonate with her experience of “soul sadness” and being a sensitive person. Sometimes the world feels too much, too dark, too busy for my sensitive soul.

This book often feels like 8+ hours of her loving voice guiding you to your heart. It’s just what this chaotic, suffering and lost world needs. She makes clear that this heart-minded journey is a decision and practice everyday. A discipline that she has committed to and in which we get to be taken by the hand and shown the way for ourselves. Thank you Sarah. Your loving, tender and soothing voice is helping me find my own way. Much Love and Gratitude, Kate

This book is God’s gentle loving touch on the heart

I used this book as my daily guided meditation practice 30min everyday and it is a life change, it helped me see my beauty and helped me connect to my wisdom, forgive, apologize to people I hurt, inspired me to share some of the medications with my students and danced Nia FreeDance to embody the feelings that the meditation help to rise. I highly recommend if you have a busy mind and disconnected from your heart.

Thank you xo

Absolutely loved it. For me the most relatable and ground breaking as to finally realizing where my controlling fear comes from.

Its Deep

This is a topic I am very interested in making improvements in. The book is beautifully done and speaks to the topic of being heart centered. But I found it challenging to pay attention to. Part of it is the author speaks in a soft, slow, meditative voice. It was hard not to drift off because of the soft nature in which it was read. I really needed to pay attention to what she was saying because it is deep and to really absorb it I had to listen closely and with intent. That makes it challenging and not very enjoyable but I knew it was good information that I needed to hear. I probably need to listen to it again to get more out of it but I dont think I can bring myself to do it. I would approach this material like a class. Take it in small bits and really try to dive in. If you can do it I think it is worth it.
