Very good guided meditation !

I love it when an author is capable of reading their own work; not all voices/tones work well for that. Kristin Neff's voice is kind with undertones of humor and experience. This is a perfect companion for her other works. which I also highly recommend.

Great Voice

I have fallen asleep each time. From being in a panic state to sleep is great.

Thank you for

No music, no fluff words, the simple directness and sincerity of your spoken words and most of all thank you for the space between the words.

And for audible.com thank you for not ending this meditation with "this is audible we hope you've enjoyed....."

A sweet & gentle body scan

I liked the sound of Kristin’s voice. She gently asks you to explore what you’re sensing and noticing. Every time I listen to this recording I feel a sense of innocence and compassion. I listen to this as I prepare to fall asleep or if I wake up in the night. It’s like a friend.

more developed self love instructions

the decision to be general in describing how to soothe, and send self love to body parts:prefer actual instructions, such as: say to your ankle, " ankle, i appreciate and love you. I love you low back"0 this was left to the reader's imagination, but i prefer instructions in this case..
