Nice meditation for this morning. His direction kept me focused. I find meditating in the morning helps me start my day off in a positive way.

Breath work.
I am almost always holding my breath. I breathe poorly and I don’t know why. When I try to be conscious of my body and my lung muscles I feel a little stressed out but I soon have my mind in a mellow place where I can feel it sync with my breathing. I wish it was able to come more effortlessly.... baby steps...But I am always amazed at the effects of this little app and wonderful people guiding me into the light.

It was helpful to first focus on the effect of gravity on my body. I was able to let go more easily and relax knowing I was well supported.🙏

How i felt during my session
I felt really relaxed. I felt as though for those 3 minutes time stopped and i had a chance to breath. I was released of all tension and anxiety. I was able to relax and let go for a little bit.

Refreshing
This meditation is wonderful to begin your day with. Focus on the breath. Notice how with each breath, your body makes subtle movements. Use the breath each time you become stressed, anxious or tense. After listening to this meditation, your mind is focused and your body is relaxed. You are refreshed and grounded to start your day. Have a beautiful day! ❤️🙏🏻😊

My favorite channel
... when ever you are feeling anxious and stressed use your breath to anchor yourself to the moment... These hypnotherapy sessions are very powerful and I credit them for helping me to make the biggest changes. I enjoy and use the other tapes as well but it is the subliminal suggestions in the hypnotherapy tapes that I believe have had the most impact on my progress.

Mindful Breathing Anchor
I learned that whenever you feel stressed, angry, or unhappy, you can use your breath to anchor you to the present moment. Being aware of your entire body while breathing can help you feel the effect that breathing has. By taking a few minutes to anchor yourself to the present moment using your breath, you can go about your day without the feeling of stress weighing you down.

This meditation made me feel calm and I stayed in the moment. The way the voice spoke and sounded was calming and made me feel more solid to myself and where I was sitting! I really enjoyed this meditation!

Loosen the reins
Today, I felt so frustrated with my partner and for a second i stepped back from the situation and asked myself why I was reacting the way I was reacting. I realized I like having control. Not over him, but on things like being the driver rather than the passenger. Sounds silly now but I thought of that listening to this story. I will work on being mindful and enjoying what others do for me.

An anchor
I felt myself focused only on the present and I have been working on that recently. I tend to get weighed down with all the things I have to do. This helped me remind myself one thing at a time, one foot in front of the other, and this moment are most important. Focusing on my breath reminds me that I am okay. All this will be okay.

This is a problem for me-I tend to be in the future or past too often. This reminded me to be in the present.

Take a moment
I learned to just relax your body and give it the attention that is needed, then everything else will fall in to place to start you day calming. When you body is tense you is full of anxiety!

Breathe
I feel as though nobody lives in the now moment. We don’t give ourselves a break. It really helps to even close your eyes and go with the flow for just 10 seconds.

Day 1
Breathing helps and being aware but in the moment. To notice what is going on in my body from head to toe. And think of a relaxing place you are at for this like today I thought I was laying down in damp grass and it gently raining on the Swiss alps

it helps
having a male voice is different, but a little more strong and personally demanding. it was so nice to lay here this morning taking care of this feeling i have.

Anchor myself to the present moment
Just be there with my breathing, with each inhale and exhale, just observe the breathing and the emotions, now let your own breathing sooth and anchor all your feelings and connect within yourself using the energy of prana.

I felt the bed support me so I felt grounded and safe. I noticed my muscles resting into the comfy blanket . This allowed me to breathe deeply and fully. As I exhaled, I allowed my senses freedom,
I can calm myself down. I have this tool to steady myself.
