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.

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.

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

Research shows that psilocybin mushrooms have promising results for mental health support, particularly in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety and PTSD.

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. <3

[aleximalmgren]

I love garden meditations that have actual garden pictures.

[frexsa]

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

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

[wingscatchfire]

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.❤

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.

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.

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.

[asthapasricha]

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!!!

[uncleambient]

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

[SallyImpossible]

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

[allenturner]

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

[alanschmidt]

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

[dskye]

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

[dildorafozilova]

This is really relaxing... Thanks a lot!
