I’ve learned to be wary of people who present too strong or perfect an image of themselves and their lives. And I’ve learned that people who can be vulnerable and honest in public are often the kind who can be trusted. Jeff, you are the latter, my friend. I’m grateful for your teaching, and I’m even more grateful for the human you are. Wishing all the best for you and your family as you do what is absolutely right - take time to make the important things important. Thank you for your guidance and your example!

I totally agree with what you have written Joe. Jeff has taught me so much about meditation etc. I love that he shares some of his past experiences that for me are so similar. I’m so happy too that he’s the decided to take this break to focus on his life and family. May you Jeff become clear and peaceful in your decisions as you move forward. I know I’m looking forward to what I can again learn from you. There are good teachers. I find you offer me the most helpful advice. Be Well. Be at Peace. Be Happy.. 🙌👏

You are demonstrating by example exactly what you teach us…to listen to ourselves. In fact, your Daily Trip “Healthy Boundaries” yesterday is so so so much this. I learned so much from it. Be well for yourself and your family. Your little tribe-family awaits.

You are so very loved Jeff-Buddy and such a total Bada** Self-care BEAST for knowing and respecting your own needs.

Thank you for walking the walk instead of just yapping the yap about human-ing 🤣. (FWIW, I want my mechanic to have their own car, my pediatrician to have their own kids and my meditation teacher to have their own big fat juicy human life. Like, Duh!)

Hugs and Meta, Kelly💕🌈💕

Wonderful meditation - thank you, Jeff. As happy as I am to receive these meditations, I am much happier that you are taking the time and space you need to support yourself and your family. It's so important, and I'm heartened to be reminded of the depth and breadth of the warmth and understanding in this community. Be well, Jeff and all ♥️

I found Jeff in 2017 which is no mean feat when I live in Pottsville Australia and he lives in America I found CALM and whilst I still subscribe I found I was meditating only with Jeff then I found him online which lead to Homebase and the Do Nothing Project Jeff's open and honest way he lets you see him in his practices is beyond comforting it's inspiring Jeff you have been with me for almost 8 years now and you've taught me to be brave share my story and turn up! Lifes struggles are real and persistent so please look after you and your family the way you continue to look after us. Pleasure meditating with you. Much 💕 Love Aussie Lea

I am glad that you are taking time to process what is happening and I wish you and your family all the very best. We will look forward to seeing you back when you are ready and a big well done for recognising that you need some time to heal. So often we put reasons in our path not to take that time for ourselves so it’s good to see you putting your words into action. Go steady and keep well xxx

Dearest Jeff, bless you, bless you, bless you, for being so generously real about what you are going through. I had a teacher who said the more personal the more universal. Pain, suffering, physical, emotional, spiritual, from within, and from external influences, it’s there. Maybe just one or all of these things at once, or the whole overwhelming messiness at one time. Anyone who has lived on this home we call Mother Earth, has, is, or will face trauma. It’s not what happens to us, it’s how we respond to what happens. Expand contract is the nature of all beings. Many times it chaotic and messy, then we rebalance to center. It takes as much time as it takes. Sometimes we repeat until one day we don’t. I loved what your teacher said, teach from your scars not your wounds. I feel like that completes for me, my teacher’s words of wisdom from so many decades ago.

The meditation was beautiful, and challenging, as you said at the end. It got to the heart of things.🙏

My heart is with you and your little family in this challenging time. You are a wonderful being of light, and you are setting an example of self care and warrior spirit. A teaching from the heart. I feel honored to be a part of this amazing community.

Be well, my friend. Take care of you. You matter.

Love and light to all beings always. ✨💖✨🌷

Know that you are doing right by your family, yourself, and all of us. I wish you peace beyond knowledge, equanimity in moments of trial and of joy. You regularly make such a positive difference in my life, and just now I too am living with fresh and perplexing wounds. I will learn from your example and draw boundaries where I can. Take care.
