Brought up negative topic

I was doing this meditation before sleep (which it is suggested for in the description), and right when I was relaxed and disarmed, he says "Imagine someone you love, living or dead," so of course I immediately thought of the most recent loved one of mine who has passed. Why on Earth did he need to mention that it could be someone we love who has died, as if that is not going to be an immediately upsetting topic? People can decide for themselves if they are already thinking of someone who has died. I would only ever want that mentioned in a grief and loss meditation, not a loving kindness sleep meditation. I became so distracted I had to pause for a few minutes, then moved onto a different meditation. Maybe not good for before sleep, depending on whether you know anyone who has died...

Awesome & beautiful

I fell asleep sending blessings. Just a beautiful experience and a thoroughly restful night’s sleep. Cannot wait to do this again.

Too many unnecessary interruptions

His continuous interruptions about negative feelings and emotions (that are not necessarily there) distract you from enjoying the meditation.

Relaxing and spiritual experience

I found this podcast to be very relaxing and spiritually uplifting. Narrator asks you to give and receive love to someone in your life, past or alive. Repeating positive statements of love and gratitude for this special person put me on a very good place. I did not use at bedtime yet, so not sure if its ability to induce sleep.

Perfect vibe and voice

Bram has the perfect energy and struck just right tone with this meditation. Loving Kindness is what is needed right now!

Superb

What a lovely voice! A beautiful meditation. When he said to think of someone, living or dead, who had made us happy — I thought of someone who’d died. And it was a very soothing recollection, not a negative one. I only wish Bram had more recordings like this, and longer ones! I would happily pay for more like this.

Wow amazing 8 min

I was very angry at that moment and put my headphones on and listen to it, I felt so much better right away, Bram has a soothing voice and good energy. The best 8 min that enabled me to realese my anger.. Thank you

Calming and Nice Male Voice

This meditation not what I expected but I liked it none the less. Very calm male voice.

Soothing positivity!

Bram's voice is so soothing it helps me to relax. And the topic of focusing on people (and pets) that you love makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. I only wish the guided meditation would keep going!

Lovely to have on your phone

I love having this beautiful meditation to have on my phone that I can pull out and listen to at any time of the day. I am sitting on the beach today. ❤️

Different way of approaching meditation

One of the things I really enjoy about these meditations that Audible has put together is how varied they are. I use a lot of different medications due to illness and I found the sending and reflecting love back to yourself was a different angle than the meditation I usually use and it left me feeling happy and more positive. That being said I have had negative experiences with meditation and it is worse if the artist hits a raw nerve when you were previously relaxed, I didn't find that with this one but it is worth checking a few reviews and is probably best avoided if you have recently lost someone.
