I invite you to join me in my bathrobe as I offer a daily guided Loving Kindness meditation/ Beauty of Needs combo.
You can get a link for the live mediation by emailing me at QiofNVC (-at-)gmail.com.
We spend about 12minutes with a guided meditation (usually recorded and offered for listening later), followed by 15 minutes of quiet, then sharing from the heart what is alive for us.
I challenge you to try it for six weeks and see what happens!
This practice started January 1, 2021 with my friends Annie Hoang and 水花Soeui Fa when we were inspired by a study done in which Loving Kindness (metta or maitrī) Meditation over a period of 6 weeks decreased implicit bias significantly.
Don’t believe me, try it and see for yourself!

Enoughness to abundance
Being enough as we are
in this moment
And even having the audacity, the aliveness, to feel into abundance.
What is it? What do we experience in our body?
Then offer it as a wish for others, and back to ourselves.
One breath at a time.

Congratulations on 400 subscribers…when you’ve never even asked. You are enough!!

Thank you!
Thank you Barbra. I’ve been having a hard time feeling compassion for the parents who were absorbed with their phones and not interacting with their 4 years as she ate her ice cream. Maybe I need a mini mourning practice everyday for what I perceive as unmet needs stacking up faster than I can comprehend or change. 💜
seeing your willingness to be silly means a lot to me. Thanks!!
Amen, understanding my feelings and needs helps me to see through the clouds!
nice hair and contrast))
You can leave the darkness! Jesus Loves You ❤️ there is still time to leave the dark and cold days! Honor thy Lord Jesus and cast out all demons! 🙏

Beautiful, thank you for sharing Barbara
Thanks barbra. Often i find im holding my breath without realising. Especially when there is pain in my body. Thank you for the reminder to breathe and be
Thank you ❤ just coming out of a spell of illness which came with a distinct lack of movement. This video is timely and inspiring!
That helps a lot! ❤
Thank you really helpful
Beautifully put Barbara!! Reminds me of when Joan Didion said, “life can change in an instant. The ordinary instant.” Take care of yourself in this time of grief
Life and death are almost impossible events to describe adequately. Nevertheless we all experience things in a slightly different way. That said, it might help some people if the speaker was able to communicate in a simpler way. After all this is a vital topic .
Grateful to u Barbara for finding a way to get these meditations posted despite it not being ur usual set up!! They really transform my day <3
How come I cannot ‘like’ this video ? Thank you for the 10 minutes of rest, peace and quiet.
I've been enjoying your videos, unfortunately on this one it's too quiet to make out what you're saying, even with my volume on max
Thank you. I struggled with the sound setting for awhile. Check out a most recent one?
hey barbra, i wonder if it´s possible to have these videos louder? i love your gentle voice, it feels safe to receive - but i cant hear you so well and i wonder about those who may be hard of hearing
Thank you. I struggled with the sound setting for awhile. Check out a most recent one?
Maybe ‘need to not feel shame’ is a strategy for peace?
Loved❤
Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you ❤️
Thank you, lovely as always ❤
I am a chronic worrier and have such a difficult time meeting that part of me with loving kindness; this video is exactly what I needed to hear today <3
