“This past February I was diagnosed with having Lyme disease. Part of the treatment required stopping three times a day, for five minutes, to do breathing exercises. The doctor stressed how important it is that I do this. Sounded simple enough….

I laid down on the sofa in my family room, set the timer on my phone for five minutes, and began. It was the longest five minutes I’ve ever known. I kept checking my phone to be sure I had in fact set the timer and that it was working.

I was telling my dearest friend Laurie Dolan about my experience with this. She laughed and said I was really missing the whole purpose of the exercise if I had to keep checking my phone. She offered to put together a 10 minute guided meditation on ‘the breath and relaxation’ for me. I was blown away!  I had no idea a simple breathing exercise could make me feel so relaxed.

It was the middle of July when Laurie sent it to me and since then  I have spent every day three times a day with Laurie. I find myself looking forward to our 10 minute time together. Between the calming tones of Laurie‘s voice and the pace at which she takes it, it worked beautifully for me.

Words are just not enough, I am so grateful to her. If you are new to meditation, or would just like to try something different, I highly recommend being in touch with Laurie.”
