One thought on “Daily Meditation Recordings, with Martin Aylward – Week of 16 December, 2024

  1. Such a beautiful experience, to be able to listen to your recorded guidance. During the meditation, I was deeply moved by your invitation to allow peaceful presence. It seems to make such common sense, and, yet, the busyness of life, even while sitting, can make such an invitation feel like such a loving release to the here and now. Thank you so much!
