Loving Kindness

4.     The tape was very relaxing. I even fell asleep about midway. However, once I awaken from my nap my mind kept drifting and I wasn’t able to concentrate as I was in the beginning. Close to the end I was able to get back in sync until the music ended. I did not like the man’s voice.
