Hi. Your meditations are great. I’m an avid listener. But many of your sleep meditation videos like this one have ads at the end that wake me right up. Is there any way to know before using the meditation? Thanks.

You always know just the right words to help. I always love it when you say you're ok. Thanks

Hi, thank you for listening to this new meditation of mine. This meditation is particularly important to me because it talks about stoicism ...and after all, we can never guarantee happiness... But we can guarantee resilience and stoicism.... it is all we've got to hold to as truly authentic of the moment…on that note.... today I leave the island.... A small island in North Queensland Australia ....I may have sent this news to you before but today it is happening and I move to the next stage in my travels… I have shared with you that four people close to me including both my parents died in the space of a year… This is now just over a year ago .....and then there was fallout and other events occurring ....it is the events which occurred after these events and prior to these events which have left me stricken with grief… and at times questioning the meaning of life...I have experienced a particular situation for about 26 years that I struggle with daily which is beyond my control.... This situation causes me significant pain ....yet the irony is that without its ongoing occurrence, I never would've started KZbin or my podcast....IIf you know me and listen to my content you will already know that I don't actually agree with such strong absolute language as "stricken with grief' however I feel it is appropriate in this situation… I have been completely devastated, saddened and in many ways left rudderless… But I find the stages I am moving through somewhat ironic… My sadness if you don't mind me saying so seems to have inspired me to be more creative… And being creative brings me joy… And being creative brings me a sense of flow… And flow in life is absolutely paramount to peacefulness and contentment… So on that multifaceted note ....I wanted to let you all know… That I believe in you..... remember to practise resilience remember to practise silence remember to practise stoicism and remember to practise compassion.... For it is these virtues that give you true soul.... I love you all much love Lauren.....If you don't know me or perhaps are here for the first time...a big welcome to you...Hi, My name is Lauren.

@Lauren I'm not on Instagram. Can I contact you otherwise? (3 sentences, not more). Thank you for making your content available 🙏🏻 A big hug from Belgium 🤗

[@peggyschine3302]

Lovely Lauren, I send blessings and hope. My family caused my biggest grief. I came crashing down after decades believing in something that didn't exist. I couldn't eat I couldn't sleep. I couldn't talk and forgot how to smile. BUT here I am! I am. I am. Your words and voice are such a Graceful way for me to fall asleep. Thank YOU so much. Now it is your turn to discover more of yourself. You have done an excellent job with your family (it is what it is) and this community that you have created. I imagine that I give you a big bear hug. Words like Resilience, Stoic, Authentic are words that resonate with me during and still through my collapse. You were the only one who was there. People with open hearts and empathy are so hard to find. It's OK. YOU are now on a completely new and free adventure. It takes time to pull yourself up BUT I'm sure you have all you need to eventually pull yourself up and stand in the Sun 🌞 Truly yours.

[@annetaylor7496]

I hold on to how you've come through what you have Lauren, your losses and your struggles and it brings me peace.I think you're pretty incredible to come through what you have and are living with, you have a powerful presence because of what you have experienced and must be shared, it's to powerful not to.♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@austinclay427]

That's pretty intense. I find myself dealing with deep pain inflicted on me by another. We have a child together and I cannot get away from this person, I simply have to suffer through their actions and the consequences of them for my daughter. I typically am doing ok... but I find myself tonight dealing with old wounds being ripped open and I cannot sleep. I just typed stoic blah blah blah into youtube for anything to calm me down and help. I guess you can take it as a compliment that I'm probably going to your ASMR lol. I just want to rid myself of all of these feelings... And it's not as easy as snapping my fingers, I wish it was. I have to be strong for my daughter because God knows her mother is... Yeah.

This is amaezing, working wonders for me this Fridae mourning. What am I mourning? What am I letting go of? My old self, my old subconscious patterns of thought. All annoyance and ego-ic feeling. Luv and peace to you from new york.

A resilient person will not be too elated when things go their way, and they will not be too down when things are not going their way. Rather, they know this is part of being in this world of change. Just because the externals are changing does not mean that our internal world has to change as well. If a person has some resilience, they will continue with their healthy life habits no matter what and get through the difficulties. And they will seek shelter in the Supreme Lord above all. When God is the foundation of our existence, then a person is on solid ground. Then they are more stable and resilient.

Would you mind please doing an 8 or 9 hour stoic and minimilist sleep meditation?

[@LaurenOstrowskiFenton]

That's a really great idea I've got several ideas in the pipeline but that's definitely worth considering and thank you so much for taking the time to reach out

[@50shadesofbeige88]

I like the video, but it seems somewhere between your dictation and the publishing of the video the audio bitrate was squashed.

[@LaurenOstrowskiFenton]

So sorry for that thank you for liking the video

[@Montacap1]

How can I calm down when I have adds like " text in church is a tool we have to get them to come back in ." That is sales no more no less other then it also being very pathetic . It also stopped any chance I will calm down so sadly I am just going to silently fight sleep alone . Again sad .

[@LaurenOstrowskiFenton]

I'm so sorry you weren't able to fall asleep you are able to get the videos without ads on premium and also Apple podcast subscription I'm sorry for your experience and thanks for writing

[@klown20]

Not digging the narrative, just speak and say what needs to be said. Were not trying to fall asleep from you slow speaking and soft volume. Most of us here are here for the knowledge. Please take this in consideration moving forward 🤙🏼
