Affectionate Breathing

I ❤️ breathe meditations

I love the tingling feeling I get around my heart when I do a breathe meditation. When I was asked to think about a friend or pet, I could help but think about the people I have gotten to known here on Aura. I noticed the tingling got stronger.

Constant companion

My breath is here as a constant companion to gently rock and soothe me. I can't help but smile with that new perspective. All day, all night my breath is literally giving me life. How can I walk with this knowledge and not feel empowered? I am a living miracle with all I need right here inside me.

Breath of Life

Feeling grateful for this sweet Source of living that animates my being in flesh. What a mystery life is... what a haven the breath provides when we enter so present and reverent. 🙏🏼😌

Calming

Letting yourself feel your breath keeps you at ease and lets you relax.

Peace

with meditation I have the power to find peace to sweep thoughts away as if sweeping with a broom

Wishing & hoping

Dreams about the future give me hope. These dreams also set me up for disappointment. They can keep me awake. They influence my dreams. Meditation grounds me. I relax. So I can close my eyes and rest peacefully. Even though I am still wishing, hoping, and dreaming.

The key

Breathing is the key, I am so self depreciating when I know I am being unjust to myself. I want to practice this meditation. I am going to love myself with practice!

Breath in...breathe out

Taking time to focus on my breath is a gentle reminder to care for myself and to set my worries aside during meditation. 🙏🏼

No mind is the same each morning. I must be prepared for different challenges.

Mindfulness is not a steady hike, it is a walk through canyons and streams, through dense forests and dry dessert plains. An ever changing landscape of the mind.

Breathing

I learned that taking a moment to stop and have some quiet time to just breath and relax feels really good. And I noticed that my breathing helps my body full of oxygen to make me feel good.

Nice. Relaxing.

Good start to Saturday morning! I think this will be a pleasant day.

I’m going to conquer well being💜

I learned that, I must achieve patience. Ion forward to future sessions, enabling me to relax.

Take it a step at a time

I learned that you must go on your own place when trying something new that may seem challenging for you at first. Take a break and breath analyze it and break it down rather then stressing yourself out.

Ebb and Flow

Just as one might become mesmerized by the ocean, I felt completely lost in the experience of my breath in this meditation. One hand on my heart and the other on my solar plexus really helped me to feel the rhythmic ebb and flow of my breath. I loved this meditation and feel very relaxed just as if I heard the waves lulling me to sleep.

Loving attention

If I focus my attention kindly, gently, towards me, others, what I do, and everything that is, I am doing things with love, I am love, and everything becomes love.

Attend

The best way to get to the point is where you are now. Yes I’m not a good person but you can be

Affectionate Breathing

I learned that taking the time to focus on my breathing throughout the day - breathing through the stress, breathing through the emotions, breathing through the anxiety - is making a difference.

Slow Motion

I’m always so grounded and relaxed during breathing meditation. I sometimes wish I could put my body in slo-mo mode for the day so I could have/keep this feeling, instead of having something happen to remind me to stop and take a few mindful moments to breathe.

Simple Things

It helps. It really do. Just simply breathing, it means a lot.

Awareness through breathing

I learned that my breath is the most powerful thing in this entire body. Just being aware of it helps you to achieve a deep state of mind. The breath can heal our entire body and also our mind, we just have to be aware about our breath

I learned that...

If you really focus on your breath and just calm yourself and just be,my hat you will feel less tight and more relaxed, and happy

Breath work

Tonight I struggled with the breath work. I was anxious to be done and be able to go to bed. This was not the right mindset for meditation.

Relaxation and focus

I find that focusing on breathing is one of the most effective means of relaxation.

Compassionate breathing

After breathing regular and focusing on that for a while, when I then start taking slow deep breaths I feel like I’m able to make them extra deep. Namaste

Affectionate Breathing

A deeper connection with self for sure. Relaxing, grounding and self-centering.

Breath

Breathing is the key to being in a state of calm. Which in turn reduces stress.

Getting Lost

It’s easy to get lost in yourself, but sometimes, getting lost means paying extreme attention.

Meditation (relaxation) (I like this stuff)

I enjoyed this session got me relaxed on what I believe I was part of a day dream. I’m only one person surrounded by a lot of other people so this only benefitted me and those around I. Very thankful and grateful and excited to work.

Beautiful 🌸Breathing

I was taken away with the peaceful breathing of this Meditation. All I can say is Lovely.

Breathe

This is my first official day of meditation and it was really hard. I am trying to to be frustrated with myself, but merely understanding that this is a process, but that is hard. Throughout today, I will try to go to my breath as a treasured companion.

Affectionate Breathing

I take advantage of my breathing, how it gently nourishes my body day and night I learned that I don’t have to want to breathe, because I need to do it, to exhale my negativity and inhale my positivity ✌🏼

Breathing

It’s nice to be reminded how precious and amazing just breathing truly is.

Breathe

My breathe can ground me in any moment, which is something I forget during stressful days.

Soothing

This lesson really lets you focus on your breathing but it didn’t really work for me but maybe the next one

Take over my mind

I can control my thoughts.. I have the power within me... I thing Aura will be my new favorite app 💖

Thoughts

I don’t need to force my meditation. I have control to bring myself back in the moment. As long as I’m relaxed!

A Wandering Mind

I can feel at ease even if my mind wanders. I just have to recognize that it wanders and be mindful of it.

breathing🌸

it feels unbelievably great i feel like i’m breathing for the first time it feels clear and fresh 🍃

Reflecting on breathing

I like to reflect on my breathing and realize that once I relax into it I become mindful and less stressed.

Breathing

In the beginning of this session, I was taking big deep heavy breaths as I thought that was how you’re suppose to breathe in meditation sessions but the guide helped me use my natural breathing and I felt more relaxed and lighter in a sense.

Rhythm of the soul

Our breath is truly a “constant companion” that nourishes our mind, body, and soul. I have a deeper understanding of my relationship with my breath and benefited from a “kind” and loving one.

Slow your mind

I can slow my racing thoughts by concentrating on my breath. Relax and just breathe.

Kind Attention

I loved the idea of focusing not just attention but kind attention to yourself as you meditate.

Sleep

What a Beautiful way to send your mind off to sleep.... 😴😴😴

Good thoughts

I learned that I am not my thoughts. Just because I have a thought doesn’t mean it’s true.

Constant companion

My breathing is always with me, keeping me company and nourishing me even when I forget about it.

Clearing my mind

As I let go of all thoughts I start to notice myself more. I am able to focus on my body’s natural reflexes. You don’t have to focus on being in control. I can just be and breath. I’m learning that I don’t have to be alone when meditating either. For this one I rested my head on my SO and listened to his breath. How different it is than mine. How again, I can focus on that breath, feel it, but not purposely control it.

Something New

Today I tried this in a stressful environment and learnt that I can isolate myself from the stress outside of me. Empowering feeling others having to wait and me staying focussed on my breathing felt strong

Breathe

They always say that breathing helps with anxiety and stress, I think I’m going to incorporate this into my life...cause it really calms me down.

Companion

My breath is always present with me. I’m never alone. It is always nourishing me. Breathe in the good, exhale the bad.

Sinus

I can’t really focus on my breath because of my sinuses. It distracts me too much

Best one

This is one of my favorites, the breathing exercises was really relaxing, easy to meditate to.

Day 3

I learned that breathing helps lots and can really relax you.

Discovery

I can focus on relaxing and be calm. Focusing attention on me is a very difficult step to take because my life has always been filled with responsibilities for others, with little focus on me. I functioned in this vacuum at the expense of disconnecting from my own feelings, for too many years. It’s time for change and acceptance of me.

Moment for yourself

Its important to take a moment for yourself & to appreciate the moments when you alone

I felt my heart slowing down and my mind becoming peaceful

I need to stop and breathe more and focus on my heartbeat and the peace and stillness I find within my breathing

Don’t worry about the future

I learned that to always think about what is going to happen today rather than what will happen in a few days or weeks.

First mindfulness

My mind drifted and I had forgotten that I was anywhere, when I was listening. I didn't realise how focused I could become.

Breathing

I’ve noticed that after a couple of weeks using these breathing-focused meditation I am truly able to calm myself by just using a few minutes of calm breathing.

First Session

Even though I struggle to tune out outside noise now, with this meditation it will be easy soon.

Noticing whole body breathing

Paying attention to the feeling of my whole body breathing helped me to relax

Best breathing meditation ever!

A perfect focus on breath without feeling anxious about making any particular kind of breathing happen.

Calm

I loved this practice, thank you! My body feels softened and relaxed, my mind calm and clear.

My first mediation

When I first started the 4 minute mediation I felt slightly distracted by the noise around me. I was focusing a lot on my breathing and just the feeling of my body going in and out, I tilted my head back and all of a sudden I just felt this relief I felt weightless for a moment. It was a quick feeling and I’m excited to tap into that more.

self love

be assertive. know your worth - i am an important person. i love learning new things and meeting new people. i attract positivity wherever i go because i am a positive person. i know what i need to do and do it when i need to do it. i am productive and hardworking. i’m a wise young lady who is not taken for a pose.

Back

When sitting on the floor,I get distracted by a tightness in my back. I have to be in a recliner with my legs up or actually lying down to be able to really concentrate. I wish that I knew what exercises would improve my sitting comfort.

Calm

I feel present and calm. Grateful for simple breathing! Not my favorite but it will do

Affectionate Breathing

I feel relaxed and peaceful, the easy rocking and movement of my breath It definitely is a happiness insight

Thirsty Thursday 4-19-18

During this meditation, I followed my breathing through my nose into my belly and back out my nose. However, my thoughts were jumbled. At the end, I was able to feel comforted within my own self and the meditation. Thank you, Aura. Have a nice day Everyone!😀

07/05/19

I learned to focus on my breathing and appreciate how calming the simple movement of the breath can be

Breath

I learned that my breathe can be like a good friend. Constant and always there for me.

Relaxation

I’ve done meditation before, and always enjoy the connection I have with my breath, but then all too easily forget. This has helped me reconnect.
