Testimonials

“Thank you so much for sharing your materials with me and the women in the SRQ housechurch. I started our midweek with your float meditation. As they arrived I told the evening was all about meeting their needs. I had invited them to bring a yoga mat and as we began out time I invited those who brought them to find a space in the room for a time of meditation to calm their minds and feel God’s peace and love before we did the lesson I’d planned. Everyone completely embraced the meditation and wished it was longer and they could listen to more. The peace and calm that resulted made the cares and worries of their harried day melt away and we had a great time of connection as I led the lesson. Afterward, as we came to a close, I played your On Christ the Solid Rock. Everyone again closed their eyes and continued on their path of peaace and calm. It was absolutely perfect to the point the women did not want to leave. I got many texts and calls thanking me and sharing how connected they felt.” KimAnne..
