By Donna P. Smith

Hi Im Donna of Talking with Donna, I will share with you a weekly meditation technique and monthly mental health information.
I have provided mental health services for over 30ty years, in private practice, contractual and goverment. In providing these services I have found that for some people wheth they are dealing with difficult life issues or mental health issues meditation as an additional tool is very helpful. So , I am offering to you various types of meditation techniques as a tool for your toolbox.

Healing Waterfall

Healing Waterfall

This meditation is from Max Heighstein's book "The Healing Waterfall", which I will be using frequently. I have found that his imagery scripts are very vivid and interesting. I have been told by my clients they are quite soothing.

So join me as we find peace and serenity in the Healing Waterfall.
