4-Part Breathing & Thoughts Come & Go

Greatness

Meditating is awesome, people should do it more if they wish to be happy

This app changed my life I'm constantly elated no longer deflated

If I breathe my racing thoughts part like clouds and everything becomes clear. Literally everything in my life is changjng

Travel and focus

This meditation was beautiful. I felt centered, relaxed and as my mind drifted to distant places the breathing exercise pulled me back. Giving me a sense of control I never had before. I loved my little mental vacation. Peace and blessings to all.

The Awakening

I learned that one needs to be more aware of the environment and situation they are in at a time in order to take control of themselves in those spheres and be in power by being mindful of what comes in and out not forgetting around them. Meditation is key.

I liked this one!

This was a quick and easy meditation, got me ready for the day and I was able to set my intention for the day with ease

Nice

Thoughts that you get caught up in and start making a story around are just as beautiful as the moments where you can completely let go- noticing regardless is awareness

I loved being in the moment and taking a step back to relax and breath.

I learned when you focus and breath your body can relax and feel much better while doing different breathing techniques.

Releasing Thoughts

I liked the concept of pausing both after a breath had been taken, and after it was finished. I've never thought about doing breath work in this manner. The closest practice I've ever done to this was the 4-7-8 breath. With this format, I found it much easier to truly concentrate on the meditation, and releasing my thoughts, than a traditional pranayama exercise.

Thoughts

It was nice to acknowledge thoughts that were passing by as clouds floating and still focusing on breathing and realizing throughout the day as thoughts creep in when trying to focus that leveraging breathing to refocus can be beneficial.

Opening eyes after meditation

When i open my eyes after today's meditation, i felt free. Pausing after inhale and exhale was key.

Morning wake up

I learned that by simply doing meditation when I first wake up allows my mind and body to connect before my day starts

Nose

I finally noticed the irritation in my nose that i have been dismissing for a while now

Great way to start the day!

After a night of tossing and turning and thinking too much, I didn't know if I'd be able to slow down my thoughts long enough for this meditation. But the breathing with pauses and the visualization of the the clouds going by helped a lot.

First Meditation

I need to find a better position. 3 minutes is not long, I should feel good about giving myself this short amount of time to meditate.

Opening my eyes

I never want to open my eyes when the meditation is over. It's such a wonderful place to be. I'm so grateful that I'm giving myself this gift. It's been out of my reach my entire life and now it's here. 🙏🏻💖 Thank you Lauren.

Free

Opening my eyes I feel like I've let go of the days worries

Perfect

I don't think I could've asked for a better session. It discussed my exact thoughts and feelings when I meditated.

Calm

This was a great meditation for just after I woke up. Calmed any worries I had and made me feel much more awake.

Relax

Great meditation, really helped center my breathing. I liked the short pause after both the inhale and exhale.

Great stress and anxiety reduction

This breathing meditation will help you relax and release the stress and anxiety that has been inside you plus this meditation is great for when you need a few moments to breath and relax.

I am the control center.

I observe the workings of my brain. I am the observer. I am.

In the Wonder

It's okay to not know, to be in a quiet, still space of wonder. It's okay to embrace and let go, to be in the flow. In this space I feel vulnerable without fear. I feel curious and alive. I'm starting to trust the peaceful, calm and still space inside me.

Patience

If you pause the session you don't get to restart it. So, no session for my into to this new App that would like me to spend money on it. ...... just seems like a bad into to an App. I'm super stressed and wanted to try this out to help me find calm. However, I guess it's teaching me patience, because I have to wait 5 hours for my next free session ......

Natural breathe pause in and out

Listening to the silence of nothingness neutralness unattachment no judgement. Thank you for the Meditation Of breathing.

Beautiful moment

Being reminded that the awareness of thoughts is a beautiful moment was so poignant for me. My thoughts are highly critical so it is a new approach to treat my self with kindness and compassion. A reminder of something I know already but to really allow for my flaws with compassion is something I need to work on. I can have high standards without beating myself up.

Awareness in Breath

Breath is so powerful and integral not only to our physical bodies but our minds and connecting with outer souls. This meditation teaches and guides you to bring further awareness to breath and manage your flowing thoughts, taping into your mind and soul awareness.

Clouded thoughts

I’ve always known of the term “clouded mind” or “cloudy thoughts.” Now when those moments come where I feel anxious and overwhelmed with thoughts, when my brain gets cloudy, I am going to let the wind come in and blow away the thoughts that are giving me stress. Im going to appreciate the good thoughts like I would a pretty cloud. Sometimes I might take a moment to breathe and see what “shapes” I can find in my cloudy thoughts.

Simple yet powerful

Our breath. So simple yet so powerful. It provides us with the oxygen our body needs to survive yet we often breath without giving it a thought. It's just there - we take it for granted. In stressful times, the simple act of slowing down and taking deep breaths can change our entire mindset.

Awareness 🖖🏽🤓

This meditation brought light upon a shady morning#Thank u aura🙌🏽

I have stress I have to study for 2 quizzes and 2 test

But now after Taking a 3 minute session I feel very refreshed and relaxed

Test

Feeling more relaxed to take on the study ahead in preparation for 2 tests now

Thoughts

Thoughts come and go, we can watch them, observe them, say goodbye to them as they float on by just like a cloud watching from the hillside in a grassy patch. That is very calming and empowering.

Clouded thoughts ☁️

I learned how important focusing on the breath is. Ready to start the day

Me

It’s okay to take a moment for yourself and to just breathe.

Clouds

I started visualizing myself floating among soft billowing clouds years ago whenever I had trouble sleeping. I also remember lying on my back on my front lawn looking up at the cloud formations when I was child. I remember that while doing this I let go of everything and just focused on the images I saw in the cloud formations. This memory makes me happy as I will start my day.🌞

Day 1

Taking a moment to breath is nice. To not have anything to specifically focus on is also quite nice

Day One

It was not a positive experience due to a continued challenge presented by my children making it a point to interrupt any practice of meditation and speak to me as loud and over and over. They are young and I am working very hard to get them to understand the importance of those few moments I ask for. I am also working very hard on being able to work through them and stay within the moment even while they are acting this way. B XL

I learned that thoughts come and go. Slowly gaining back it’s control.

Take a moment

I️ was so concerned about what was going on in the other room and if my significant other could hear my meditation. I️ couldn’t be present because I️ was worried about others.

Reflection

I learned to let go of things and hold on to the memories that really matter to me

Mediation in car to work

Great way to start the day. Calming despite being in the car. Helped organize thoughts and plan for the day ahead.

1

I think about a lot of different things. Some are dumb, some aren't

Peace

I need to be alone and in a quiet environment to be truly at peace.

During my deep breathing time, I️ was flooded with gratitude for the pause between!

Awareness! How can I️ be mindful and present to the pause? Isn’t that where my attitude can be captivated and nurtured to find the gifts of gratitude, of God’s provision and love? Also discovered a few muscle groups were tight and tense. Anxiety has to flee when you shine the light of gratitude on it.

Thoughts

I learned that thought come and go like clouds. I shouldn't stress and focus on what needs to be done and let the negative or distracting thoughts go.

Taking a moment to breathe, really breathe helped me to relax. Yay!

First Meditation

I learned that thoughts come and go like clouds and that to be truly mindful you have to sit back and let these things come and pass. Become a bystander to your own thoughts and choose which ones you want to stay.

Breathing

It takes just 3 minutes to come back. We often go about without pausing. And it’s the small pause that can sometimes bring us back from the slide back into the unconscious

First Meditation

This was my first meditation with this all and I have to say first impressions were good. But I really wish there was background music played through. It didn't help me zone the children out at all and even though it was nice I still wanna punch something.

Breathing

Clouds

Visualising thoughts as clouds helps to make me aware of how I can choose to not focus on negative thoughts and just let them pass.

Need a longer time meditating. The time was gone to quickly

First meditation back after some time

The stillness between breaths is like a cresting in the air. As you rest there, moving back and forth subtly, you can watch your thoughts as clouds. Watching them form and dissipate. Sometimes you will give them weight. Other times not. No matter, they always fade away.

First meditation

I would like more silence after getting into the breath. Reflecting on Brian pulling back from the coop because we didn’t match his expectations for our direction. Feel his arrogance and the male response. Don’t think he feels he has anything to learn from us. Sad that what I thought was a mutual friendship was cast aside by him. Looking forward to the new board and folks with a willingness to learn from each other. Also looking forward to my new spirit group and hoping that turns into a Working on Excellence group.

breathing

after a while, the meditative breathing starts to come naturally

First use of meditation app

I learned to recognize my meditative state easier . It felt calm and peaceful .

I learned that

I need to relax to be happy and to practice it to be in the best mood!! :)

First time trying this app

Even just this three minute meditation made me feel better and more relaxed than before

Breathing

I learned how to control my breath and relax into my breathing.

First aura meditation

Hoy con esta meditación corta me vi dentro de mi, una Massiel más calmada, más motivada! Soy yo!

First day

Breathe, close your eyes, think of little things, you’ll be relaxed

Stress

The things in which i am stressed about now are coming and going in my thoughts. Which means they have little value except making me stress over things in which i do not need to stress about. Taking time to sink away from reality and relax makes you realize how minimal your problems are and that there is time to relax.

Breathing

I learned that i can control my breathing and when I’m feeling anxious I can slow my breath down and avoid shortness of breath.

Breathing

Breathing in and out over and over with a pause in between helps slow things down around you.

Relax

Relaxing my muscles will ease my mind as well. Let go. Forget about what’s happening around you and focus on the words being spoken to you and the actions they compel you to do.

breathing

i breath heavy and deep breaths so followin the breathing pattern was hard. need to let things go to be able to breath more softly and smoothly.

Breathing

taking deep breaths is important for everyday activity. If you’re stressed or no matter what just take life one day at a time. everything will work out. Everything will be fine. Just relax because half the stuff you worry about now will work itself out or no matter in 3 months

Freefall

At this point, when I was asked to figure a wonderful moment, I imagined taking a free fall dive... what does that mean? Hmmmm....Buddha knows...

Thoughts

I’m letting my thought come and go a bit easier. I’m learning the ability to focus on some of my thoughts but not dwell on them too long.

Breathing helps

The breathe in - pause - breathe out - pause helps l. Could vaguely picture my thoughts as clouds but couldn’t pick one and think of a tale.

Breath!!

This was a wonderful way to breathe-I had to concentrate on the pauses-I am intensely claustrophobic, and holding the pause after the exhale kinda brings back those feelings-but I saved the meditation to do it again and again-I know it will help ease everything!! 😊😊 Thanx!!

your breath

breathing is a great way to calm down and forget about your surroundings. it really does make you calm down and realize that life isn’t all bad, and it gives you a moment to just think.

i learned that

taking a minute to just focus on breathing is good and simple. it’s also weird coming back and opening your eyes again after focusing on the breathing and clouds as the recording instructs you cuz i felt more calm and appreciative in general

The Beginning

I learned that I can get out of my head, if I try. I need to be willing to put time and energy into finding awareness and peace with myself

Blowing it away

Today I felt I had to blow everything away. I tried to blow away frustration on a cloud. I also did anger and pain. I tried to breath in joy coming in on my inhale. Maybe it’s weird but mentally I wanted to view positive coming in and the negative going out.

Day 1

It was nice to take a few moments to just breathe. I'm having a very stressful week and had a migraine all night, this helped the day after feeling.

Oddech

Między wdechem a wydechem jest czas uniesienia. Czas który ma duży impact na nasze codziennie życie. Bo dzięki tym chwilą czujemy że żyjemy i potrzebujemy oddychania.

Travel

I learned that out of all the thoughts I could have picked at the moment. I thought of traveling, I thought of kinos journey, I thought about how I’m gonna have some stories from my travels

First mediation

This was my first mediation today. 3 minutes flew by. I already feel more at peace and calm.

Calm

I have to learn to be calm. It won’t just happen. With it will come contentment.

I am not the only that notices the pause between the changing of directions when breathing.

I learned that taking your focus away from breathing to think about something important to me is okay during mediation.

Session 1

Breathing is the main focus. As one breath is inhaled, one thought comes across, and then once the breath is exhaled, the thought leaves. The thoughts come and go, but throughout the day I tend to get lost in my thoughts. This meditation will help me let go of thoughts and live in the now.

Day one

I learned that I control my own thoughts and have power of what thoughts I feed into.

The pause

The pause between inhaling and exhaling has a clarifying effect bringing the moment to the fore.

Control

I learned that I can’t control how things happen, I can only control how I respond to it

Reborn

Learning how to breathe correctly is like reborn. It refreshes your mind and draw a smile on your face as you noticing the better feeling you have got.

My first thoughts

I feel that I shouldn’t be worried about what’s to come and stop trying to hope the best for the future but to live in the present and hope the best for the present.

Day 1

I learned that thoughts are just as temporary as inhales or exhales

I learned that...

After going through the drift of thoughts and letting go I feel soft calm and very comfortable in who and where I am

Breathing

Breathing slowly relaxes you. Learning to breathe right requires technique.

Breathing

breathing means everything. each breath you take can lead your mind to a different thought

First Session!

I feel more relaxed and in a better mental state! Although stress is still present, it doesn’t feel as heavy on top of my shoulders.

12/13

Stress won’t disappear immediately but being in a better mental state helps to bring clarity and a more positive mindset to tackle the stress

The moment of realization...

Many times I have did breathing exercises to calm myself. And many times I have focused on the pause between breaths. But this time I really did think about the fact that I can process one thought while subconsciously still following directions being given to me and still be aware that I am aware of all of this.... it was really beautiful. To realize from such a simple example how amazing my mind can be, even in the simplest ways.

Respiracion

Aprendi que si saco unos minutos para simplemente respirar y concentrarme en eso, puedo relajarme.

Day 1

Breathing in a slow steady manner relaxes me. Excited about this journey and hope that it brings some inter peace’s ad happiness

Length

Day 1

I need to be in that state of nothingness more. I’m really stressed and taking three minutes to just sit in quiet and breathe, I feel so relaxed now.

First session

I learned that I need to take more time to relax and let go. The feeling is nice.

Breathing

I learned that relaxing and clearing the mind is all about find a Comfortable quiet place to breathe

Very relaxed

That was pretty simple and easy for my first time mediating. I feel really relaxed and less stress.

When you take a minute or 3 it calms everything down and passes faster than any other kind of time. You have the control to take control of the time you spend. So spend it wisely and make every minute count.

12.20.17

Mindfulness helps calm me. Calms my mind and anxiety. 3 mins of mindfulness and breathing techniques done at work is helpful.

New voices

This new voice intrigued me and soothed me. It made me wonder if she was faking the luxe. But does it really matter? I will never know if it was real or fake. I can enjoy it for what it does to me without ever knowing it’s authenticity

Mindfulness

Focusing on unnecessary negative thinking is worst form of self violence

Meditation in bed

It’s nice to meditate lying down in bed before starting the day.

Still reeling, mind cluttered!!!!

I still can't get the thoughts of the friendship I lost out of my mind, now it's been two weeks. When does the heartache end??????

Clear and PRESENT.

Lately I find the only thing relieving my anxiety is mindfulness, steady breathing, essential oil and concentration on only THIS MOMENT. Tomorrow will come whether I am ready or not so I choose to embrace it with curiosity.

Day 1

This app may be just what I need to fit in quick daily meditations

I learned that ...

I am in control and I am aware of my surroundings. I choose what I feel. and I control what parts I fixate on.

Settle down

Things are so short. Settle down and let them pass through you and over you and take them as they come. You will make it through. Just don’t let it consume all of your soul forever.

12/21/17

I'm stressed, there are millions of obligations, responsibilities, failures, goals going through my mind. I am being mindful and at times inspired but I need actions to act along with my thoughts. Thoughts do come and go but how do I focus on which ones stay?

Breathe

I say this often to my friends and family but I have yet to take my own advice! I really do just need to breathe and let it be.......

tidy everything up

open up my eyes and see hơw my messy room is makes my own self feel tired

Day one. 12.22.17

I felt at ease with each pause. I don't want to write more.

day one

i learned that the things i stress about tend to be little. in the big scheme of things, they should not matter, they are little things in this huge life that i have the gift of living in.

What I’ve learned

Calm

After this exercise, I’m more calm and feel like I’m ready to step out into the world.

Thinking in clouds

There are clouds that represent thoughts and I need to pick at a few of those clouds - not all of them. We just want a slight drizzle, not a tropical storm.

Let Go

I need to let go of things that I shouldn't even be stressing about

Come and Go

Thoughts come and go like clouds and the thoughts that you want to hang on to stick with you.

Happiness

I learned that taking time to relax yourself and close your eyes, and focusing on the now and letting things go brings inner peace and happiness.

I learned that...

Nothing is ever to big to overcome. You just need to breath.

First Session on Aura

I’ve done meditation apps before, so this reminded me of the others. Unfortunately, it is nothing new, so I did not feel like I learned anything. But, I am most likely in the same mood a majority of my day, so all of the apps suggest the same meditation lesson for me based on that mood. I am not a moody person, but I think I need to dig in and discover more of my feelings and emotions.

1st time

breathing is everything and relaxes you. when closing eyes and clearing your head and just focusing on your breathing, you forget all stress.

Thoughts come and go

You can focus on the thoughts that you want to focus on. And you can make the other thoughts float away in the clouds.

Pauses

I liked that there was an emphasis to the pauses, I have never thought about that before.

First

Focusing on breathing makes a lot of my thought go to the back of my mind

Breathing

I learned that breathing releases stress and clears your mind but keeps all of the thoughts you want to have in your head.

Myself

I learned that... i can really feel who i really am by just doing the breathing technique, and i have yet to keep going on with this app.

Reflection

Relaxing eye muscles significant reduces tension in the head area.

Stressed

I learned that, life comes and goes like clouds passing by today. That in the heat of the moment everything can be tense but when you take a step back you learn how small it really is.

Meditation Day 1

My thoughts from today’s meditation led me to the beginning of a new story idea. May proceed with it, may not.

Reflection

I learned that even the back of my throat was tight. And even though I was trying to breath deeply, I was holding my stomach in.

Thinking

Instead of stressing over little things, think about the big things/ positive things that have affected my life.

Christmas Day 12-25-17

I honestly had a hard time with this 7min meditation. I had to pause it and then I lost track. I personally felt that it was too long for my liking and I will stick with 3min meditations. Thank you Aura for the opportunity to try it. Happy Holidays!

Relaxing muscles

I learned that you can relax the muscles behind your eyes and in your throat, just completely let everything go.

To slow down...

Take my time... be patient and breathe, release undesirable tension and receive the essence of life...

Me gusto

Lo puedo lograr. Y me recuerda a unos buenos momentos de mi vida.

12-25-17

I learned that... I enjoy focusing on thoughts about my friends, and I want to share things that make me happy with them, and that I want them to be happy. I’m thankful for... -The blessings my family and I share -Having friends that care about me -Izzie

Watch the clouds

I was still in a green field, and all I could see were clouds.

Negative Thoughts

I need to stop focusing on such negative things/thoughts/feelings

I forgot the peace and joy that arises from being with my breath ❤ Excited to carry this new practice into the new year!

Breathing

Calm breathing is so important. It contributes to our mental state and internal feelings.

Day 1

Breathing calms heart rate. I also learned that thoughts are like clouds. And I hate clouds

Thought Clouds

Breathing

I learned that I concentrated a lot on the guide so there were few thoughts coming in.

Worry

I don’t need to worry about people judging my meditation. I am alone and in control. I feel like this app will really help me and i just need to let go/ let loose sometimes.

Day 1

I learned that I need to be more in tune with my breathing.

Day 1

Thoughts on breathing pattern w/ pause. Thoughts of clouds and that one person that escaped into a story.

Thoughts

Thoughts are like clouds floating across the blue sky and I’m just laying back observing every last one of them. They come and go

Thoughts as clouds floating by

Realizing I need more discipline in which ones I choose to ‘spiral’ into. Too often it’s the painful ones I’m trying to fix vs choosing enough of the joyful ones to create more balance.

Breathing technique helps me calm my mind and body.

I learned to enjoy the now and not worry about what’s next.

Breathing

I learned that you need to take a moment for yourself and just breath. Breath in the good and breath out the bad.

Day 1

Breathing helps a lot. Imagining clouds helps me as well. I like the lady speaking because her voice is very calming and relaxing

Scribble

stop and steady the business of my mind... those few minutes are extremely powerful. Today be fully aware of the clouds full of my load to carry .

One thought at a time

I learned that breathing and pausing and breathing again allows me to see moment like clouds drifting by ... I can see the moment and allow it to continue to by as it goes through me . Feeling confident and free .

Are they gone?

I realised doubting myself about my friend ,who died , isn’t right

Breathing

I learned that breathing can really help when you need to just take a moment to yourself. It can help you to relax fairly quickly if you focus on it.

Breathing

I learned that by actually breathing in and out , you feel as though you're releasing negativity throughout your exhales & bringing in positivity throughout your inhales .

Everything that seems so overwhelming is not a single thought in my mind when I focus on being peaceful

Day 1

I need to take the time for myself. I have to start somewhere and stick with it.

Pain hurts

Trying to make it heal it wasn’t long enough and I am in still So much pain.

A few minutes of nothing

It is important in the midst of business to take a moment to pause and take notice of the process of being. Being and becoming aware of thoughts and actions that can only be noticed when you take a second to breathe and be.

Peace

I was one with the breathe. I flowed like ribbons of light dancing in a free orchestra of rhythm

First for most

The moment you let go of something you can start a new chapter of in life and the story keeps getting better and very new year is a new book a sequel of life

Stressed

Slowing down my thoughts and breathing everything out really calms me down

The search is on...

I learned that it takes effort to hear a soothing voice and not get caught up in the voice as opposed to the direction being given. To calm the mind and thoughts is not easy but this is a simple and concentrated great step towards just that!

Breath

That’s all I have to do is breath. Now I need to continue the journey

Day 1

3 minutes can do wonders for relaxation. A wonderful way to start my day.

1/1/18

Silence is crucial for separation from daily noise .........

New Year

I learned that it only takes a couple minutes to center yourself. They go by fast, but those few moments can center the rest of your day. It’s worth it to take them.

Letting go is so important

You can’t move forward until you let go of the past. We are always stuck if we keep dwelling on what could have been when it is in fact gone and nothing can change that. Accepting it was not meant to be is all we can do. That’s all it was- time in another situation and now time to let it go.

This technique

It calms me well . I feel very relaxed and my my body feels a bit different can’t explain it

Meditation is simple if I just take the time. This is an easy way to cultivate mindfulness.

Today

This morning I learned that it only takes 3-min to myself to set my intention for the day.

More

Power

I learned that I have the power to ignore negative thoughts.

I come first

I learnt that i need to love myself more than anyone else and be selfish and that i come first

Breathing

I learned that a few minutes of self care is better than zero minutes of self care

Breath

Just by taking a few minutes to breath and be still helps to get ready for bed

Begin

I am just starting my journey, and I can give myself time to grow and experience this new meditation I’m adding to my day.

Breathing

Concentrating on breathing is peaceful. Laying in bed trying to fall asleep can be hard but it made me relaxed!

Day 1:

I learned to control my breathing of the inhale pause exhale pause exercise. I.T was kind of hard imagining the clouds. I think with practice I’ll get better. Time is something that can’t be replaced.

Thoughts

Doing this process before sleep is highly relaxing. The ideas of thoughts coming and going as I breathe is soothing. I reflect on life and wonder why I have come here. I have come here to relax. That’s why

awareness

I learned that I don’t often take the time to just sit back and breathe. Doing it felt absolutely amazing.

Calming

Downloaded and listened for the first time. I feel at ease and oh so mindful. Love this

Relaxed

Pausing in breaths is very calming especially before bed. Getting told to relax certain parts is very nice.

Time

If you take the tiniest bit of time to clear your focus everything else gets so much easier. It’s best to focus only a tiny bit rather than not at all.

First meditation.

I haven’t put my feet on the ground yet but I began my meditation. I breathed in more than I usually do. I felt slightly dizzy when my eyes opened.

Both Sides Now

Some clouds are prettier than others. More writing required, so: Some clouds are prettier than others. Some clouds are prettier than others. Some clouds are prettier than others. Some clouds are prettier than others. Some clouds are prettier than others. Some clouds are prettier than others. Some clouds are prettier than others. Some clouds are prettier than others.

Breathing is BEing

I learned how hard/easy it is to lose focus/gain focus just by breathing

Anger

As much as we want to move on and forget, we are reminded of our hurts and the anger associated with those hurts towards those people who caused it. I want to let go even though Im reminded. I want to let go of all the negativity. These blocks will only stop my evolution and growth and my journey to self preservation. Be gone with you and your hurt and anger, be gone....

Job

I'm worried about finding a job. But happy to be back and relaxed about everything else.

day 1

when i focus on my breathing rather than my thoughts it’s easier to calm down from what i’m thinking about. but it’s only a temporary help.

Deep breathing is relaxing

Deep breathing is relaxing. It's hard for me to such a disconnect but listening to someone give me instructions is helpful

Breathe

To take time to breathe and take some time for me. I am also important and my well being is a priority.

Breathing

I am more aware of how controlled breathing can help my state of mind.

Explanations are counter productive

The explanations during the session are working against the session. Does not make sense

I learned thatp

I was holding stress in my shoulder and needed to relax them

Focus

Today’s meditation helped me to focus more. As I was breathing one thought came to mind and I focused on that. I prayed for an old friend who just came to mind as I was breathing in and out.

Day 1

I learned that it’s hard to let your mind and body go when there is so much on your mind but once you find that perfect breathe everything is at ease

Between the actions

The moments between the actions matter. After the exhale the pause is important. After the inhale the pause is important. Life’s going to hit you with big moments. What happens in between, preparation or reflection, is distinct and something we ought to control.

Sleep

I was super nervous about the new semester, and couldn’t for the life of me fall asleep last night. I need something to energize me for today, because I am actually really excited, just exhausted.

day 1

Memories come and go. Don’t hold on to the to tight let it go like your watching the clouds

Baby steps

I learned that I need to take baby steps towards mindfulness.

2018

I learned that I need to be more truthful and not to omit.i learned to take it easy on myself.

Importance

I learned that we have a special connection with our dreams because they are the important things in our lives.

I learned I feel much calmer and relaxed and saw the blue skies when mentioned and also saw anger

I saw what made me angry but I also felt relaxed and at peace when practising the breathing technique and I saw what made me angry but then saw the blue skies around when mentioned

First day

It’s hard to not think about other things while trying this exercise.

Day 1

3 minutes of mindful breathing is doable and relaxing. Can become something that is a daily routine if effort is added to start.

First Practice

I feel lighter and more relaxed. I feel calm and free from worry. I feel happy.

Letting go!

Learned to let go all of the toxins and thoughts they may be holding me back, or may hinder thought of positivity and success and growth.

First session

I learned that there is a concept of spiraling out of control that can be beautiful, because that is it awareness

Breathing

I learned that focusing on breath can bring you to a calm and focused state quickly and easily.

Breath pause

the pause at inhale and exhale seems interesting... would like to explore more and deeply

Day dreams

When you catch yourself spiraling into a thought or dream that is good. It means you’re self aware

Day 1

Today was my first day to try mindfulness. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the tv remote to turn off the television while I did the exercise and the dogs are bothering me so I don’t think it was successful today. I will try again tomorrow.

1/5

Awareness can be achieve by simply concentrating and removing distractions

I get it.

It worked this time and I see how it feels. It’s fleeting, but it’s good.

I learned that

I can distance myself from my thoughts. I am not my thoughts.

First day

I learned that I can’t yet sit for 3 minutes without hearing a voice and needing to check if my device is working. I also learned that I can continue the deep breathing while recording my findings.

Back at it again.

I’ve learned that when life throws you a hardball, you just have to learn to pick yourself up and carry-on. And yes they’re going to be people who will point and laugh and tell you that you missed it that you failed that you’re a loser, but I am just taking a moment to yourself will help you in the long run. Sometimes I think it’s the only thing that helps me keep my sanity. And I’m fortunately I haven’t been doing that recently but today I did it and I feel a lot better.

A few mindful minutes

... provide so much calm after a busy day! Love the feeling of just floating.

Dear diary

I wasn't able to write often because I spend most of the time with my family on Christmas Day, even on New Years which was a blast. I spend few days watching my favorite shows because it's most of my thing to do. No matter the feelings and thoughts I expressed no words to describe, I was at first pretty clueless and felt like nothing is to be recovered from the past and now this year I felt good and I had to admit myself not to give up on my education because I always fail but nah not gonna happen. Right now it's been a good day and it's always been. My goal in life is to reduce stress, self love and improve relationships with others, and think positively cause if I choose to go on this path, changes might happen.

No worrying

Doing these breathing exercises allows me to focus on breathing and not worry about what I have been all day.

Tired

I learned that my tiredness does not always show through when I'm not relaxed.

Clouds

Thoughts are like clouds across a blue sky, watch them come and watch them go

Jan 7

I don’t focus much on the instruction, I put myself above it and let the thoughts dominate. I could focus on when I’m noticing the thoughts. That’s the beautiful moment, the mindfulness of noticing the noticing, thoughts about the thoughts. Awareness.

Breathing

I need to exhale slower the next time and work towards more controlled breathing.

Float

I learned that to just let everything go and pretend your floating with the clouds ☁️

Floating Thoughts

Noticing the drifting thoughts in my mind, but not allowing them to interrupt my practice is difficult.

4-part

breathing helps regulate the way i think and calms the worries in my mind

Breathe

I learned that when I focus on my breathing and not everything else around me, my brain and my body both feel more clear.

Pauses

I’ve always noticed that I have a natural pause in my breathing (maybe everyone does?), but I now see it differently... as a moment of “nothing”. As a temporary pause in my rhythm that allows me, for just a brief blip of time, to stop.

My mind....

There are a lot of thoughts in my mind.... I was quick to prioritise them which helped me become very calm.

NY airport.

Tired and constipated...but I learned to take a breath! Pause. Change my thoughts, if not just a little bit!!

4-Part Breathing&Thoughts Come & Go

By doing those exercises it relaxes and gets me thinking that I should focus on the stuff that’s good and that will make me a better person not for anyone else but for me

Inside rain

The shower sounds help me relax. Reminds me of rain. I'm most relaxed when it's raining

Breathe

Breathing is controllable and that I can control what is going on in my body

Anchor

I learned that breathing is an anchor that connects me with the world. I can transcend by continuing my breathing and escaping my mind.

Mindfulness

I learned of being truly in the moment. Of being able to truly her my inner most thoughts.

Thoughts

Even though your thoughts can overcome your mind, you need to realize that everything happens for a reason and that everything is going to be fine in the end.

Fin des vacances

Je suis bien en congé!!! Mon esprit est libre et facilement arretable

Easy Beginnings

I saw that mindfulness is not a long and hard journey. It is something that you can do everyday by just setting aside a little time and focusing on your thoughts.

I can control the direction of my thoughts. I really can! I can not think about thoughts that spiral me into worriesome places.

Breathe

I learnt to pay attention to my breathing and how relieved I am afterwards

Breath

I learned that I need to just stop breathe , think and then after that I should make decision .

Day 1

It's very difficult to release my mind when told to. It will be journey learning how to reduce my stress.

Throughout the day, different thoughts come and go; focus on the positive ones

Jan 8

I can stop for a second and focus. Focus on nothing, on breathing, or on thoughts. It’s okay to take a second and pause to refresh.

I learned to just relax and think of happy moments

I learned that breathing techniques are very beneficial. Thinking of something that brings pleasure and peace is a way to decompress.

First expression

Good experience, not that releasing but it is okay as a first try :)

1/8/18

The moment my thoughts shift to something and my mind starts to create a story from it is beautiful. Savor that before again focusing on my breathing.

8/365

I learned that it is an important part of daily life to take time to focus on my breathing and relaxing the muscles in my body.

Learning.

Even with a 3 minute breathing exercise, I now know I can take control. I am excited to see what else this app can teach me, as I have never meditated before.

Breathing is key and really take a moment and experience my muscles

It went fast;

I have time to meditate each night and will make an effort to do so each day!,,

Take the time to breath

It’s easy to get caught up in everything. It’s hard to take a moment and come back. Breathing helps tho

Noise and Filter

Despite the sounds of everyday hubbub around you, you can still meditate effectively. You just need to filter out all the unnecessary noise and focus on what truly matters.

Taking a few moments for me

A few moments for myself helps me to focus more on others and appreciate my day because I feel I’ve done something for myself.

Day 1

I learned that I need to allow thoughts to come and go. I need to stop blocking traffic and instead let them pass by only engaging those that are positive and uplifting and pertinent to me in this moment.

Breathing

By calming my breathing down and focusing on it, I️ can really relax

Breathing

I never knew concentrating on your breathing is relaxing. I felt like I was drifting away into a calm place. I loved it!

new beginnings

Three minutes

Even three short minutes can have an impact and help me relax and that’s motivating to know ! They were over in a flash, which makes this less scary as a task.

I learned that by clearing my mind I really can feel relaxed.

Mancuso Memo

Need to be sitting and posture are of great importance for my practice

Today

I learned that you need to let go of everything and just breathe

The here and now.

The presence is liberating. It relieves what is not meaningful or positive for how I feel right now.

motivation

after today’s first short lesson i felt more relaxed and felt that i need to be more happy and stop worrying so much... i want to focus more on trying to be a happier person and happier towards others

Experience 1

I sunk into myself I felt my body and everything surrounding me. I felt as light as a feather but yet grounded at the same time. My head was clear and I was relaxed for the first time since over 2 years ago. I feel amazing.

Thoughts

Our dreams are like clouds they come and go in our head. It’s calms you down and gets you ready for the day.

I need to shut the door and focus on it more to not open my eyes half way through

3 minutes was good but I needed to shut the door to focus. It was a good breathing exercise and I felt relaxed about 1 minute in

Deep breaths

I feel better and much calmer. Clearer thoughts and no negativity

My first day of Mindful Moments

I really like the breathing and the peaceful feeling after.

Day One

I learned that I focus a lot on my worries and negative thoughts and don’t consider all the good things in my life. During self reflection, I learned that I have a lot of uneasy tension and discord inside of me that I need to unravel and let go of.

My first time trying Aura.

I learned that I can do this and that I actually felt really good afterwards.

:~}

when you're stuck in a spiraling rabbit hole of negative thoughts, you don't have to sit there and keep falling, you gotta get your mind to think about something else, like meditating!

It's Unbelievable

I learned that if you take a second to just breath and let go of everything, you can just go into your self

come and go

things come and go. don’t be stuck on them forever. focus on the present. and what you have now. you don’t know how long you’ll be here. but make it worth while

At peace with myself

Stopping yourself and being harmonized with the rhythm of nature clears my mind from all the troubles and negativity. I felt relaxed, calm, and tranquil

1st meditation

I need to be left alone alone while I meditate otherwise this does not help me.

Reflecting 1.0

It does not take a great deal of time to ground oneself and relax.

First meditation

I'm extremely aware and catch myself and my thoughts at all times throughout the day.

First session

I am able to breathe and keep a rhythm, and my thoughts come and go. I don’t think I ever “let myself go” because when I came back to the room, I never had a “coming back” experience. I never really left. I need to focus more on my breathing, and myself.

Chores

Don’t worry if everything can’t be accomplished over a weekend. There’s always the next. Most importantly relax and prepare for the next work week.

Breath control

Long relaxed slow breathing. Also consciously my relax muscles

Let them go

I was reminded that thoughts come and go. All thoughts go, even the bad ones. Let them go, don’t give time to them.

Breath

I learned I need to stop and breath. Close my eyes, relax and focus on me breathing. This allows me to focus on me in a small yet meaningful way.

First Aura Meditation

I learned that I freak out every time when I start Meditation. My pulse fastens and my breathing quickens. That’s why I avoid it because it scares me

A New Beginning

I learned that I need to work on bettering myself and the ones around me and focus on those who wish to better me as well.

Day 1

Meditation might work. Should try once in the morning and then once at night. should help me to get ready for the day ahead and de stress from the day.

First time

It’s good to take a minute to breath and focus on yourself.

Relaxation

I learned that just working on your breathing and distracting yourself earlier in the day will help you later on to control your things and feelings.

Listening to my breath

I learned that while listening to my breath it is okay to have thoughts come and go, they don’t have to linger and I don’t have to give them my full attention at once.

Importance of Making Time For You

I learned that it is important to take daily time outs from everything and everyone to focus on self.

Break

I am way too stressed. I need to control it and not let it control me.

First day

I can sit quietly and relax and breath consciously. Mind didn’t wander

Clouds

Some clouds can be chosen from the sky to focus on. That way you can stop thinking about things that make you unhappy.

Breathing

I learned to take a moment, to listen to my body, feel breathing, take control yet relax

I was worrying about how long it would be , it was cold , but I was able to bring myself

But I was able to breathe and at least try to follow breath It was nice to follow the stopping of the breath on the top and bottom

Breathing

I learned that breathing can make you feel better, and free within yourself

first day thoughts

thoughts come and go and to notice the thoughts and how they make you feel and to focus on the thoughts that make you feel good inside.

It’s okay to think about stuff that’s stressing you, but you can’t let it take over your whole mind.

You need to leave space for positive thoughts as well as stressful ones.

Day 1

Thoughts need to be ordered in importance and focus needs to be directed to the important ones.

Understanding myself.

I need to focus more on the now rather than the future. I think suffering from adhd, depression and anxiety doesn’t quite help when it comes to meditation etc, but I’m trying with this program and hopefully it will bring me more happiness towards myself.

to try

I learned that it’s ok to let go of all emotions and feelings to just breathe.

Vol 1.

Thinking about something good and keeping it in mind distracts you from the bad thoughts .

first time

i learned that breathing is cool. ok so i have to make this longer. breathing is relaxing

Awakening

After the session, I opened my eyes and, I guess you could say, "awoke" to just a brighter setting and I was far more calm and relaxed than I was before beginning the session. Incredible.

1/15/17

Breathing in helps calm down and feel at ease and drift off mentally to a peaceful haven.

Little journey

Breathing meditation is quite efficient for me and being someone very anxious. It a bit like going on holiday in my head .

I can control my breathing to relax as I tend to breathe rapidly.

Breathing

I learned that if you just take a little time to focus on you and breathe, you can see a little more clearer and focus on one thing that is most important.

Day 1

Todo lo que necesitas es respirar y darte cuenta que estas viva.

One Moment

I learned that it only takes a moment, I was in an terrible accident less than 48hrs ago and I am stressed and beyond sore but I took just a few moments to close myself in my room, relax, close my eyes and breathe and that was most helpful !

Thoughts

Thoughts can come and go, focusing on the good thoughts are what is important and the bad thoughts drift away as if it were a cloud in the sky.

Guided

I like having a voice to guide me. I like short meditations. I want to form a daily habit.

My first day

Today I have learned that tension is only momentarily. It will fade. When I feel a sense of anger. Or anything making my feel anxiety. I need to stop and take a deep breath.

Simple breathing

Simple breathing and softening myself helps my mind be more in sync with my body

Clouds as thoughts

Floating by as I watch. That’s all. Why do I have to keep writing? That is silly. Is this enough?

Thoughts on today’s meditation

Breathing is essential to meditation. It is important to take little parts out of your day to just be within yourself and relax.

January 15th 2018

I️ learned that when you pause after inhaling and exhaling, your body sort of goes numb and your mind becomes a clean slate. It’s tight.

Clarity

I learn no matter how bad a situation is you can still be happy

Learning

I learned that breathing is an essential part of awareness and mindfulness meditation.

Day 1

I’m not sure what I just learned, but my body and mind feel relaxed right now. I think if I keep this up, the stress and anxiety will start to ease and I can let go of past experiences and worries.

Heart

Yep. Controlling my breathing made my heart pound. I’m not sure if I’m going to like this.

Let it go

This was a good reminder that there is a difference between engaging in an activity physically and actually being present for it. It takes skill to be able to direct your mind.

Calmness

I learned that breathing will make me calm and focus. This will help on my daily interaction with my passengers.

Take a moment

I need to take a moment from my morning routine to sit back and just breathe for 3 minutes to help ease my stress levels.

Mediating will take time to master

Right now it feels ineffective. I don’t have much to say, I’m just typing just because it said it’s too short lol

1

I learned that I need to shut the door, try sitting instead of laying.

Mindfulness Day 1

I learned that Mindfullness only takes what feels like moments to increase the effectiveness of our day, to take a personal moment and reflect, be present and connect with yourself. Being grateful to have these moments in life, in each day and to practice and give back to myself.

Mindfulness and thoughts

You can still have a thought while still practicing mindfulness. You are just being present with that one thought rather than multiple thoughts.

Full

I feel very full and “whole” after this. I learned just focusing on breathing can be effective.

A good start.

Even a short meditation can make a difference. I hope I get a good sleep after this.

2nd Day

Couldn’t really focus, too tired. I did not really want to meditate today but I’m trying to make an effort.

Day 1

First day of law of attraction meditation. Work: release judgment

Much better

I really enjoyed my first session. I realized that my anxieties and problems are like clouds in the sky, drifting and blowing away. Nothing stays long.

Much better

I really enjoyed my first session. I realized that my anxieties and problems are like clouds in the sky, drifting and blowing away. Nothing stays long.

Peaceful

In just a few minutes my energy shifted and my thoughts slowed down.

Softening

I learned that so many muscles in my body are holding onto anxiety and stress. By making a conscious effort to soften, I can let go of some of that stress and anxiety.

Breathing technique

Slowly breathing in and out is more calming than loudly doing so (the yoga way).

Incredibly relaxing

I love deep breathing, it’s incredibly relaxing. I need to do this more often during the day.

Jan 17

Eventually I’ll be able to breathe easy and let my eyes relax

Cluttered Mind

I learned that I need to learn how to wind down and clear my mind when I’m meditating. I always tend to think about something. Today was much better though, less thoughts in my head while meditating.

Not bad for a very short session...

I always have at least a couple of minutes to relax and start the day well!

Thought awareness

I learned that if I can stay independent of my thoughts, and aware of which ones are trying to draw me in, I can stop the spiraling before it starts.

Day1

Few minutes make small change. Take Tim for you because you deserve it and you are a good human.

Effective

I need to let go and use my time effectively. Also NO more fan fiction!!!!

First meditation

Taking time for myself will make me happier and more relaxed

Day 1

My thoughts come and go but the ones I think about the most probably have an impact on me and my life. They also mean something important.

01/18/18

I learned to pay attention to even the minor moments happening in my body and breath. I got distracted but was not hard on myself for this I just continued to bring my attention back to exercise.

1/19/18

I can take the time to slow down and meditate. Clearing my mind and the thoughts that are always racing through can make me more aware of what’s important in my life.

Hmm

I must need to practice more. It was calming, but I miss doing yoga. I don’t like being told what to do. She was a nice speaker but I tended to roll my eyes at some points.

4 minute breathinf

Thoughts come and go, it’s important to acknowledge them yet bring focus back to breathing.

Breathing

There is a pause of nothingness between breaths At that moment I am the most free Thoughts come and go, I recognize my thoughts and what I give attention to, is my awareness

Day 1

I learned that i find it hard to switch off the world around me.

The pause

I’m not the only one that notices the pause at the beginning and end of deep breathing. It can be purposeful.

thoughts

My mind is cluttered and i am overwhelmed. I need to meditate more. I need to let go of negativity. I also need to express myself more and stop wearing my heart on my sleeves. Channel my anger into something positive. A negative situation can have a positive outcome

First time

I learned that I may need a longer time because it was like the first few minutes of scuba diving when you’re freaking out because you are trying to breath with your head in the water. I’m a rational part of your brain you know that all you have to do is breath a certain way to enjoy the view: through your mouth. Here you just have to follow commands of breathing in and out almost like you do 100% of the time but I couldn’t calm my body down enough yet. It’s a work in progress. I know my body has been very stressed as of late so this may take some time to get back on track.

It only takes three minutes

I learned that it just takes three minutes of conscious breath work for your body to fall into a natural rhythm of breathing. Amazing!

I can enjoy my awareness of my surroundings

Starting the day with meditation is a great way to get going

Saturday

I learned that this is something I do want to become a regular practice in my day. It does help me stay calm and focused, but also energizes me

Priorities

I have enough time to do whatever I want, if I just remember to prioritize and breath.

First day of meditation

I learned that it is difficult for me to relax my mind, eyes, and body. I need to focus more on meditation and myself this year.

First day

I should be mindful of which thoughts I focus my attention on.

First Things First

looking to rid myself of my ego, and be more present, more aware...learning how to be here

First time

I forgot to close my eyes for a minute...otherwise I thought it was a decent first exercise.

Thoughts

I am able to gently choose good, happy, healthy and positive thoughts always so that I can always be happy

The breath is my savior.

I can control bad thoughts and sad feelings with remembering to breathe.

Mindful Moments

I learned that beginning to meditate after a lengthy pause for 15-20 years of not meditating can be done fairly easily when its guided.

Breathing

Breathing is an essential act of calmness. I find myself focusing on my breathing technique instead of this chaotic place we call life. My mind drifts to the openness of relaxation and letting my body float.

Healing.

You can’t stress over something or someone all the time, you just have to let time heal.

life

i learned that life is to precious to think about the negative

That Pause

When breathing there is always that pause in after inhaling and exhaling. That pause feels like I’m floating in mid air.

I️ feel very relaxed

I️ feel less stress! And I️ feel happier and less tension! I️ feel at peace

1 lesson

It’s very important to breath slowly and be able to relax and soften every muscle in my body.

that it is important to focus on yourself and not just the world around you

Calm anxiety’s

I learned that we have to focus on thoughts n be neutral . But anger and frustration is filled in me for not doing anything. I am student have to study but I’m not able to focus and I run away from my things .final exams coming up but I’m not touching books and it’s super scary

1st session

I learned that slowing down my breathing can relax me. Was using headspace but didn’t want to have to pay for sessions. So I’m trying aura.

Slowly breathing

Relaxing my muscles & closing my eyes for a second really does relax me completely

My first session

What did I learn? I feel as though with this first session, I learned to stop every so often and breath. Settling in to my surroundings and allowing myself to relax..

First try

Meditation is something I can do, rather than something I thought impossible.

Learned

About all the little things in my room that mattered and I️ took for granted

Day 1 of guided meditation

I learned that I need to be more aware of my breathing. Being in the present moment is important and finding calmness in my breaths can help combat migraines.

I learned

I learned that in my mindful state that I can watch my dreams and thoughts fly by. That I can chose what I want to focus on and when I want to let it go. How to control my breathing and listen to my heart beat. I can relax my body mind and soul as I wish. This has really helped me

Breathing

Mindfulness of breathing relaxes the body and places it in a calming state. I will continue to practice being mindful

I learned that

Everything around me may feel like it’s crashing, but it all depends on my aspect.

Attention

You can choose what you give your attention to in life. That every thing comes at you but what you give yourself to is important in determining how you feel

1/20

I control my happiness. I choose to LIVE. So many things go on in day to day life. I need to take a second to meditate and get my mind and body calmed down.

First meditation

Meditating actually seems to be something that will really help me reduce stress.

Focusing on breathing is actually soothing.

I’ve never been the one to acctually take time to breathe but now I do because of this. Can’t wait for my next session!!!!!

1st day

What we say is tied to what will manifest. Believe and we shall receive. Self care is important before we start the day. This mediation was calming. Helps me to be centered and feel good to accomplish today’s tasks.

Day 1

I learned that, even just 3 minutes of calm focused breathing, can make an impact on my mental health and start my day off with positivity.

Day One

Results are probably best if you really close your eyes and separate yourself from the world around you

Breathe

Breathing can and will help you at any time. Focusing on your breathing slows the mind down & concentrates on what YOU ask for

That taking a few minutes of silence for yourself wakes you up more

First time

Just a few minutes of mindful breathing can shed some anxiety.

Everything comes and goes and that I shouldn’t put so much energy on you. You aren’t helping me

First step

I learned that when someone ask you to think about something, you will always think about what’s giving you the anxiety or what’s most important to you

First lesson

By using the Breathing technique I found that it helped to clear away any negativity or thoughts. I found it to be very cleansing.

Breathing

I learned that I need to stop tensing up. The more tense I get, the more annoyed I get. Therefore, I just need to breathe all of the bad energy out at once.

Breathing

I learned that it is easy to breathe in and out and forget what is around you.

In an imperfect world

I just didn’t get much out of it. My fiancé was trying to talk to me the whole time and I finally had to gesture to him that I was meditating. I ended up more annoyed than peaceful. It’s time to make my meditation room a reality.

The pause between breaths

The pause between breaths is something that I️ never noticed before and I️ really enjoyed imagining the clouds floating by in my mind. This session was extremely relaxing and it made me feel way less stressed. 😌

breathing

i learned that deep breaths help me relax and focus on my thoughts

My first session

I learned that I can easily focus on my breathing and notice the short breaks in between my breathes. I also learned that Aura’s voice soothes me and makes me feel comfortable and better.

1st meditation

I learned that I am comfortable doing meditation. I realize what I’m missing by not slowing down more. I can just sit out side and take deep breaths and feel meditation

Breathe

it makes me calm and just take a second to realize what’s going on.

First day

I started with a very fast and strong heartbeat, but it became very slow and gentle, by the end I was feeling very relaxed.
