“When we learn to observe our experience without making it right or wrong thats when we mastering practice”

[SiouxSmith-ge]

Coming to the end of a long treatment process for cancer. I found this about 2 weeks ago and it has been the most mind-blowing and incredible help. Your voice soothes me and I hear it long after I have listened to the Daily Calm. It is teaching me how to keep coming back to the breath and to not be judgemental of myself if somedays I find it easier than others. Bless you Tamara - you are a beautiful oasis from life's stresses.

How to ruin meditation : Put an ad right in the middle! 👍 a real pity since the video was actually good.

[EarlyRiser]

So good!!! I like the ad in the middle...a true test to see if one can stay unemotional and centered.

[elysekardos]

Love that political ad in the middle of the meditation to really get my brain in angry monkey mind mode. Almost didn't want to finish the meditation.

[MarkDeutsch]

Thank you for sharing your gift of this meditation. Calming the monkey mind and the ocean sounds are a great way to start the day. Note: Bad form YouTube with the ad right in the middle.

[AMERASIAN]

Could Calm remove the ad in the middle? I think it is at 5:31. Thank you. Love the channel.

[sofieperez]

whyyyy in the hell are their ads in a meditation video. It’s very upsetting and off putting

[joyatransley]

I am learning to observe my thoughts and emotions instead of reacting to them constantly, I do your guided meditation every morning. Thank you for these.

In the course of this meditation an ad came on, how alarming! So much for calm.

[IrenaH]

I enjoyed the meditation, but the sing-along ad in the middle really threw off my rhythm. 😕

[nicoled.]

There was an ad in the middle of this. Not cool YouTube.

[kathleenunsworth]

There was no add in mine, and I found this very effective. I've had adds in some of the longer ones. It can be off putting, especially in a shorter meditation like this.
I like the comment of using it as part of the practice to discipline to mind into acceptance.

[dougbeard]

If I have one recommendation it is to use positively reinforced language instead of saying don't do this or don't be that. When I hear don't be frustrated all I can then think about is frustration. I think this is normal so maybe others feel the same. In any case, I love this channel. Now a part of my nightly routine...

[Mr.BD]

I have no where to go, nothing else to do, except laying beside this beach and listen to the waves.

[ianmadonna]

What a wonderful voice you have! It is more calming than the waves. I just found your videos today. I've had a rough couple of weeks and I already feel better. Thank you 😊

[TheToneBender]

If I wasn't busy in the head already, I am now... I just got an ad for the weirdest thing. Like a whole youtube channel, or streaming service or something dedicated to "ancient aliens" stuff...

[monikayoga]

Amazing meditation and supporting words. Thank you so much❤

[tomikles]

No ad in mine, they must have took it out. This is so nice.🔆

[georginapinto]

Ow that ad really threw me off and scared me lol
