Allows me to be more aware and appreciate my surroundings. Being mindful and present.
Thank you so much. I am wondering if you are working with tinnitus.
Thank you I went for my daily walk.I would like to do more mindful moments outside.Loved it
Thank you, going to try this at the beach today with my dog.
Thank You Kelly. I love meditating in nature.
so simply and naturally done – thanks
My heart felt like it was growing!
Hi Kelly, Thank you for your beautiful compassionate presence. I will be taking your meditation outside when I walk with my daughter, as we keep social distance during our “girl time”. In fact, I encourage everyone, though you may not be able to stand close to your neighbors, friends, or family members, to give them virtual “hugs” by sensing the beauty around you and sending it’s love to them.
I am grateful to be able to use my lungs to breathe. It means I am still with the gift of life. I am a senior adult with lung disease, I need to be mindful to cope with the threat of this virus, but it is not healthy to dwell on it 24/7. We still are living our lives, just differently
I feel as though I’ve become realigned with my practice. I thought I had lost my way but now realize how much my mindfulness has been incorporated into my daily life, not just in a 1/2 hour set aside for it each day. Thank you.
Thank you, I will try this in nature next time!
Thank you for your meditation, Kelly, a lovely way to begin Day 2.
Thank you for including the captions for deaf people.
Captions also help me understand everything that is said as my hearing is impaired. Thanks!
I will try outside in nature next time. I have never done that. Thank u
Thank you for this beautiful moment !
Such beautiful positive awake and aware energy Kelly! I’m going for my daily morning awake in nature Marin County, California walk enjoying the trees and birds, while keeping my physical distance from my fellow humans compassionately and socially connected.

I really enjoy mindful moments! I need to make sure I do more of these outside more often. Thank you Kelly.
Loved this! I will definitely be taking this outdoors. Thank you Kelly!
I am a long-standing practitioner meditation and qigong. I found Kelly’s instructions helpful in my daily practice of both disciplines. Thank Kelly for her cheerfully awake presentation!
Thank for helping me With my perception today.
I wasn’t aware you could do this anywhere and it will help me a lot with my stress reduction as well as being in tuned with others to I can be a better social worker. I think if everyone utilizes this took I think people would be kinder to each other during this time of crisis. Thanks for everything you do to bring Mindfulness practice to everyone!!
Ty Kelly you are absolutely amazing and a wonderful soul
Thank you for being present along side of me and reminding me I’m not alone. My heart remains open, but it’s wonderful to be on the receiving end as well.
Thank you. A wonderful seed planted to start the day.
Thank you I took this outside and went for a walk at first it wasnt easy with all the distractions but once I got it I felt so relaxed and calm…ready for the day…
Thank you Kelly, for another very grounding practice. I shall take this on my walk outside today to try out as well.
Hi, thank soo much for marvellous practices. It’s incredible that a small practice make a big difference
Thanks for another fine practice. Used it outdoors for a long walk after meditation and tai chi this morning.
Grateful….for making space for my whole sensing self to connect with my environment in a more intensive way
Hi there! My name is Suzette Misrachi and I live in Melbourne, Australia. I love Kelly’s way of inviting in all of our sensation and perceptions. I try to do that in my clinical work with people who grew up with parents with a serious mental illness. My work is often based on my research entitled: “Lives unseen: unacknowledged trauma of non-disordered, competent Adult Children Of Parents with a Severe Mental Illness”. This work led me to being invited to write brief articles on trauma and grief for mental health practitioners which I then offer to the general public. For those interested in such things, just Google my name. I’m really enjoying this summit. It brings me closer to the outside world, now as I am self-quarantining due to the current Coroner virus emergency. Kelly, you’ve got a lovely way of connecting to others, with just a boring computer at that! It feels like we’ve known you for years… Thanks for this presentation.
A beautiful blend of people sharing from their hearts. It is helping me to reconnect, revive and continue not only my healing journey but to support others along there’s.
Thank you.
Thank you for those moments.
