Beautiful, I am grateful for this resource! could you put this one up without music? It can be distracting

[@gabrielledonahue3194]

what is the music

[@lindahartman4609]

The meditation itself is wonderful. The issue is the music. It's dissonant, distracting and totally wrong for self reflection. If you were searching for the worst background noise you could find, you did it brilliantly. Dr. Holder's tone, cadence, and script are perfectso why horns and percussion. Jon Cabot-Zin has no background music on his body scan and it is very popular. Seems like you went for tablas and horns for some Indian Asian connection? Doesn't work.

Hello Kese ho bhai

[@csmiley2934]

I"ve done a lot of metta guided meditations. I like some aspects of this one better, such as saying "peaceful" instead of happy. I am not keen on saying "all humans deserve." The word deserve is loaded. And what about non-humans? Do not all living creatures command respect and care? Overall this is too anthroprocentric and I won't be listening to it again.
