Take a moment for yourself

Sometimes our brain is cluttered with so much throughout the day. This is a nice way to relax and takes such little time. Thank you Rufus.

Worked for releasing stress

I liked the soothing music and the author’s voice is perfect for this meditation. I would recommend this to anyone who is feeling stress and anxiety. I was stressed prior to listening and with the breathing exercises and the meaningful words I was able to totally relax and let it go!

Very simple meditation

This was a very simple meditation. I enjoyed after coming back from the store. It’s just what I needed to end the Mindchatter and allow me to relax.

Perfection

His voice. As always, is transcendent. I had just finished my morning meditation and somehow this popped up. The perfect book end.

I know he’ll never see this but thank you, Rufus. Notre Dame candle…lovely.
