Love you, Jeff—and so do my YA kids❣️ I know you from 10 Percent Happier, glad to hear about this! Thanks for your unique (& eloquent) mix of sincerity, lovingkindness & delightfully irreverent humor! I mean, who else makes me GRIN in the middle of a mindfulness session? ONLY YOU! XOXO

Great way to start the day!

If anyone reading this hasn’t interacted with the CEC, they are a worthwhile group to explore and support. They deliver the medicine we all need in a welcoming and supportive environment and ask for very little in return.

As someone who

can tend on the clingy side as it pertains to financial resources they have help me find ways to separate from that by supporting them.

As someone who has also benefited greatly from their work, I would also appreciate those who support this group to help keep them going.

They make it very easy to do recurring donations as well for those, like me, who may want to give but aren’t in a well established habit and could use some help.

Thanks, Jeff and thank you Erin and all the CEC team for everything you do for the world.

Thank you Jeff. Tonight's meditation seemed to woosh by very quickly. Behind closed eyes I had an aurora borealis-like experience of light and color, perhaps because I saw many photos posted earlier this week. (FYI- the wave sounds that came through were a bit jarring). Happy to contribute to keep the CEC going.

Yes, they may have been a bit loud…

Jeff, your down-to-earth, authentic, vulnerable, and funny-as-**** approach to teaching is a powerful and winning formula. You are a gem, and you have my support, financial and otherwise.

I have been listening to you Jeff for a few years now and it has been very illuminating. Love it! Today was not a fan of the ocean in the background. Would love to help you with your non profit. Ran one poorly for 35 years, now do 1-1 tx online. So much less stress.

Jeff! I loved this meditation. That water, the birds swooping overhead. What a place to live! The CEC is a wonderful organization, all the work they do. It is not difficult to help support such a worthy endeavor in anyway we can. It deserves to continue to grow and thrive.

I absolutely loved this, I am a fan of the ocean! I felt it! Went into a blissful meditation! Beautiful! I’m so glad I found you all these years ago 🥰

Last few days I was trying the centering prayer and I just couldn’t seem to find my peaceful state, glad I came to this morning, ahhhhh feeling so calm and serene now.

Thank you

As it gets a little too cold over here in New Brunswick for me to sit outside for morning meditations, I deeply appreciated the sounds of nature on the BC coast. I felt my breath syncing naturally with the waves. Truly magical, thank you 🌊

Jules, I wholeheartedly welcomed the same experience you described here in New England —navigating the rises and falls of the ocean waves into my contemplative meditation. Jeff is THE BEST!

It’s interesting that some people were bothered by the wave sounds, the nature sounds really grounded me, they were nice.

Ahhh, the reality of our uncontrollable universe asserts itself yet again 🙃I’ve been so confused and irritated with distracted endless clicking trying to find the newsletter that’s not there and am so grateful to know it’s Substack-related and not something for me to figure out. Thank you for sharing this info!! I love your writing AND the recordings.

Another meditation that I’ll keep coming back to. Yes, my mind wandered but to good things - thanks to the peaceful, calming energy of this meditation. Thanks Jeff, and happy (American) Thanksgiving!
