I enjoy this every morning soon after I have woken and it helps me to quiet my mind, which is usually full of the tasks I need to complete for the day. Brother Richard’s voice is calm, soothing and full of kindness; it washes over my mind and body and sets me up for the day.
I was looking how to understand meditation and practice it some months ago.
The Daily Meditation with Brother Richard is comprehensive in its content covering so many aspects of meditation that I have come to rely & enjoy practicing the meditation daily.
It has taught me so much. I have found the meditation and teachings that I was seeking. Thank you Brother Richard for the content & your peace & grace
Having lost connection to a greater power this has helped me to find a way back. Beautifully delivered , calm & authentic words that never fail to settle me for the day ahead when I find the time to practice. A noticeable difference when I don’t. Many thanks to Brother Richard & all who deliver this message.
Brother Richard’s meditation sessions are just the best. I always feel centred and ready to move through the day in true awareness, harmony and peace. Most importantly, I feel closer to God after each episode.
Thank you ❤️
