One of the best meditations I have ever had! Just used it before work. Several times the narrative made me smile with delight. I really felt this experience. Thank you.

If you are reading this, know that you're not alone. You are loved and needed, as you bring something to this world that no one else can.

[@Kate-md7od]

Finally, a meditation that helps instead of a ‘trying to rid of’ depression. The nature and garden visualisation was lovely.

[@AGirlyReader]

Thank you, I was really depressed because I'm having constant physical pains, nihilistic and pessimistic thoughts and lack of motivation in life. This has really improved my mood and my existence doesn't feel like a burden on me anymore, sorry for using this kind of edgy language but its the best I can do to describe my feelings I suppose.

[@halimaakter5299]

How are you now? What will be your advice to someone who is having this same feelings now? I will love to listen to your suggestions.

[@garlandschubert5182]

Yeah I'm in the same place so much I'm angry just I don't know just don't feel right all the time don't enjoy Nelson how is the press so we'll try this see what happens been beat up lately but who has it in this world you know thanks for your comment philosophically what's the declaration of philosophical and primary had alright thanks

[@aleximalmgren5301]

I love garden meditations that have actual garden pictures.

[@user-hn7sm1nv9j]

This is a good meditation. I am fighting bipolar depression, life is hard but I do feel a sense of relief with this mediation. My heart goes out to all those with and love and prayers. I understand.God bless

[@alanschmidt6675]

I loved this !!! I recently started ketamine therapy for my trauma & your voice is so soothing

[@ladyrosenrot1514]

I really didn't wanna leave my garden but from the other hand I was scared that outside world gonna come in the room I was sitting and ruin the experience for me. I also cried when I reached the wise woman that was me.thank you for this.

[@frexsa222]

I don’t know why but when you said “picture a man or a woman” I pictured a beautiful middle aged woman that looked similar to me smiling back. When you said she was me I just started crying and crying. I don’t know why I cried but she felt so warm and happy that I couldn’t help my emotions . I wonder what this means

[@user-dt9ix8dw7c]

She may be your higher self? ❤❤❤

[@wingscatchfire915]

Thank you … it is easy to get overwhelmed by stressful thoughts. A dear friend died very recently and another friend is in the ICU. I need to stay healthy and I need to sleep so that I can remain a positive and loving presence. Thank you for providing this garden retreat my the gentle sunlight shine through all of us. We are all journeying and we can help each other to heal. Thank you.❤

[@irootoo]

It's so nice to have a meditation that doesn't harp on exactly how to breathe but just lets us breathe the way our body wants to.

[@Priory_UK]

Glad you enjoyed it! Will

[@Pond-erer]

Colors and nature and a inner wise women. Thank you for a sacred feminine style meditation ❤❤❤❤ it was helpful because of these elements. Be blessed and thank you.

[@allenturner6178]

Thank you!! I’m going through depression. I was left to raise my kids own. It’s a tough adjustment.

[@brooklyndj23]

Adele, you are wonderful!! Loved this one!!!!

[@Priory_UK]

So glad you liked it!

[@uncleambient]

That was beautiful and I actually guessed all the different colours in each of the gardens in the correct order 😊

[@asthapasricha2389]

Thank you for the guided meditation. The meditation was super amazing, really, but when you said "imagine a man or woman", that really broke my flow. I got scared. I saw that person smiling at me as you said, but I was not the same as I was before. Earlier I was simply enjoying the garden but now, in the presence of the person, I was conscious. I also felt unsafe, maybe because my intrusive thoughts came in of that person being a fraud behind that smiling face. Other than that, the meditation was beautiful!!!

[@RamonaMcKean]

That part of the meditation threw me off too. 😢

[@dskye2634]

thank you... for every colour I breathed in... I felt a sense of calm and relaxation.

[@SallyImpossible]

Cried all the way through. I have difficulty crying over genuine sadness, so this was probably good for me.

[@lisacampbell4011]

Oh I did too but needed it I'm home from knee surgery and no structure to my day has been difficult. My mom died in November so maybe feeling grief

[@lifeisfundisney6029]

I’ve been sad all day yesterday and this morning this helps

[@hyggecore4972]

Great meditation. Thank you.

[@TiaChench]

“I’ll deal with it later” is something I tell myself all the time (procrastination). I had to replace that with the label “thinking.”

[@markaxel9799]

Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.

[@JamesTaylor-ff4dp]

Yes, bergwilly11

[@zarkos2313]

Psychedelics saved me from vears of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction. imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.

[@jorgparker2463]

Shrooms was the best trip I had. It was an amazing experience.

[@carsonelias4594]

I have been diagnosed with Dysthymia and ADHD and Social Anxietv. I get mad all he time for no reason and I lack social skills because of the anxiety and I'm actually switching schools because there is a school (I recommend you check it out) it's called PACE and it's an all girls school for people who have mental health issues which cause them to make bad decisions or get bad grades or even if you just need counseling along with school. Every student at PACE has their own counselor to make sure you follow your goals.

[@mirabelwatson7863]

bergwilly11 is the best, he's been my go to for anything psychedelics.

This was very relaxing. Thank you!

I like this meditation, thanks

[@ghostofdayinperson]

Every time you said, “deal with it later” I got a wave of anxiety.

[@joelupinacci9900]

Thank You!

I loved this helped me with my anxiety ❤

[@malcolm7436]

Thank you

[@lesliengo8347]

I picture myself in a beautiful garden underneath a woodland. To me, the path are alternating grey stone steps that winds around a lake near the beginning on the left. The flowers and grasses are on a tiny hill on the right. Further down the path, I imagine a wise old women observing a stream on the right. Her lovely smile makes me feel welcomed. This is when my path goes down a hill gradually, making a gentle curve to the right. Soon, the path turns a gentle left. I can imagine a view of a valley as it banks left. The paths goes on but turning to go back, I know I always can come here whenever I wanted.

[@WisdomWithin999]

Thank you 💛💚🤍

[@hellie_el]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@Trylobyte]

Well to balance things out a bit heres my experience: Using psilocybin mushrooms made my depression and social anxiety worse after every trip. No doubt like all drugs it may work for some, but for others it can be damaging.

[@frankclements1431]

As I listened to this I imagined myself stepping into paradise. As I am a christian, I look forward to living in paradise with Jesus.

[@lisacampbell4011]

If I started crying during walking in the garden what does it mean?

[@suzyrhinestone2352]

You have a lovely voice, and I love that there is no music. But what is that background noise? A dripping faucet? A ceiling fan? The noise distracted me from the meditation.😢

[@Priory_UK]

Hi Suzy, thank you so much for your feedback. That noise in the background is actually a clock. Not an intentional inclusion at the time, but we have made big improvements to the sound quality of our meditations (especially the surfer and waterfall meditations). You can find them in this playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLEizM40pda30z0niUkKe4wpvB1sc4Xmcr I hope you'll give those a try and would love to know your thoughts. Thanks Will 💙
