“First of all, the live music and the rhythm of it were really something different from what I’ve done before. I felt it in my body in a different way. It was so grounding, like a core sensation. I don’t know if I have the words to describe it.”

“I felt like I was forced out of thinking about anything else because of all the vibrations. Instead of my mind wandering, I had to stay present in what I was feeling. This could help other women in fire. You get a lot of people whose minds wander all the time, so it’s hard to meditate. I think it could really help bring people back to a calmer state, settle their nervous system, and relax their mind.”

“It was very relaxing. It’s definitely hard for me to let go, release, and actually relax. But once I did, it felt really great. I think it would reduce stress. If you could do the 15 minutes and just relax, it definitely brings your levels down.”

“I liked the guided meditation, and the vibrations were very interesting. I’ve seen some studies on it, so I thought it was interesting to experience. I could see it as a decompression tool before bed or after a workout.”

“It took me a bit to really lean into it, and then it felt like a meditative state. I could literally feel energy coming off my arms. That was awesome. I didn’t realize it had already been 15 minutes.”

“Oh, that was great. Very relaxing. I definitely feel a lot better after that. A lot of the time, with the job, you’re going and you’re stressed for most of the shift, and then it’s hard to decompress after that. This feels like a good way to help that relaxation happen. It kind of forces it in a way, but it’s helpful.”
