It’s relaxing, I struggle with ADHD. I’m really trying to stay focused. Doing pretty good
seemed much longer than six minutes, very relaxing
PRESENT MOMENT. ONLY MOMENT. IN. OUT.

Gratitude to you for this practice!
I like this imagery attached to breathing normally. When my soothing rocking chair is not available, I can now use this! Thank you, Chris.
Felt held & rocked by my Breath in such a short time. Deep quiet.
This was lovely. Simple but refreshing.
Thank you
Thank you, Chris. You have a nice voice and you made me relax and form the images of a young child, a dear friend in need of help and the movement of the ocean. It was a dear experience.
Thank you for the quiet moment. I found my body rocking and that was also soothing.
Lovely. I liked the images of the sea, rocking from within and setting a puppy back on track.
Awesome! Breathing and cradling from the inside!
Thank you, Chris! Your voice made me very peaceful and relaxed. I will have a happier day today.
Thank you. I found my body having rest and soothing.
It was excellent practice!!
I hope will be longer!!
That is a very interesting practice. It reminded me of what a person might do when in deep grief. I am glad to see that we do not need to wait for suffering to practice Affectionate Breathing, rocking, or holding of oneself.
Thank you, very calming and a good grounding technique 🙌🏻
Bringing presence to compassion…..
Thank you. Bless you.
