It’s extremely difficult for me to live on a planet with people that doesn’t care about what is around them. I was diagnosed as a sensitive person. This means sensitive about everything around me, food, people, medication so on. I am bipolar, PTSD, anxiety, OCD on top of that. At the age of 5 I wanted to die because I realize that the world was too much for me and I couldn’t live on this planet. Andy voice help me to cope with my life. For me meditation is a tool to stay well mentally and resource myself inside of me.

This was like reading myself Marcus, sometimes it's just to much to take in, specially in a violent environment as this world can be, the smallest thing can turn you upside down and, you don't know how to deal with feeling everything and everyone around you. There's comfort to know I'm not alone.

I understand Completely. :) I hope the best for you though. You can get through it . I am a highly sensitive person too. Racism and animal cruelty appall me, violence through a tv screen feels like its happening to me and its traumatising.. smells and sights affect me so much more than the average person and i tend to need time to let things sink in as notice all the details. The tone people use when they speak means so much to me and I feel that I rarely find people that care at the level that i do, or at least know how to show it... lifes a journey, lets be gentle with ourselves!

I've been doing Headspace for 2ish years now. I saw a video a while back where you were in Lake Powell and it inspired me to propose it as a trip for my Outdoor Program at ISU (me and fellow leaders take students on trips from California to Florida and even Alaska, and everywhere in-between doing stuff like climbing kayaking etc). Long story short, it got approved so I will be leading a trip there this spring, so it's really cool to see someone who has guided me for so many years walking around somewhere that I'll be soon.

"It was probably a hear and a half, maybe two years after leaving the retreat, that the retreat started to make sense, you know? It's almost as though the rational mind needs that time to absorb whatever kind of insight or change has kind of taken place during that time, so never be discouraged." Loved that bit. Andyyyy, you are love and wisdom and wonder and awesome things happening all over the place. Thank you for being a human and for doing something with all of your humanity, thank you for sharing your insightful thoughts and learnings and beliefs, in hopes of helping others. You're definitely helping me, even if I can't know its whole impact yet 🍀 Always love, and best wishes to everyone, stay safe, loves 🌻🌻🌻

I had a bad experience a few months ago, and then another a few weeks later. A mate who has tried to help me get past it said, try headspace. So I started meditating and doing your sessions daily. So here I am a month and a half later meditating and it has honestly helped so much. So thank you Andy! And the entire team behind headspace. I only wish that there was a student discount for us Aussies or the ability to access the Spotify bundle cos there is only so many times that you can repeat the basics 😂

Something else that feels extremely meaningful, but is much more subtle: I don't think I've ever heard Andy say "must." "You must." It's always "you should", "you might," "we probably," and so on. That's another form of kindness, compassion and humilty. And let me tell you, that is one of the things that makes me feel Headspace is such a reliable thing. I trust Headspace and Andy because no matter how "trendy" meditation and mindfulness have become, and no matter how much I hear about Headspace, I have never felt they are a corporation trying to SELL YOU THINGS! To me, it feels like they are truly doing their best, most honest, most helpful part with others. Love it. So again, thank you for that.

The pandemic really put my mind off-kilter. At the suggestion of someone I respect, I became a Headspace subscriber. Meditation and mindfulness have sustained me over the past couple of months. Although I still have moments where I am unsettled, I believe that Headspace has been transformative. This video really made an impression on me. I liked how Mr. Puddicombe took us on a hike and how he just talked. It didn't feel scripted, but seemed like a conversation. Thank you for taking some time out of your life to share this with us.
