Send us Fan Mail As we look ahead to the upcoming "Love Your Neighbour As Yourself" series we revisit the original meditation that birthed it all. This track is a reboot of this year's New Year's meditation. Namely, what has been rebooted is the background ambient music & soundscape, so as to not be so specific to New Year's. The original version of this meditation can be found on this very pod (Season 9, Episode 6), & on Insight Timer. Harkening Deer is lovingly created by Sean J Stevens on Treaty 6 Territory in Alberta, Canada.
