Awareness of Breathing

I saw the universe in front of my closed eyes...

I learned that meditation can help you not thinking of nothing...

It's all going to be ok.

There is a level above. And I am going to attain it. I am.

Live for right now

The present is all we can control. Meditation is gentle yet powerful.

Life Now

I start college again for my last semester of community college. The only thing I am upset about is that my Dad won't see me off to it. But I know that he's looking down on me, and saying "You got this "

Get away

This morning's meditation is another little getaway I can take when I need to recharge or de-stress. Love it! 😍

My first day of school

So calming and southing I love it😍

Eyes

Letting the muscles behind your eyes relax is an incredible feeling

First Meditation

It's not impossible to be calm completely it just takes some practice

I can do this

It was hard letting myself be calm but once I did it felt so wonderful afterwards

Wow

I feel completely relaxed. That's new. Maybe I should do this everyday.

Time for Change

I'm slowly changing life habits. Meditation is the start of it all I can do anything!

Meditation 1

Today, during my first meditation session using Aura, I reflected upon the fact that every breath is a new breath.

Be Mindful Of Breathingggg

I learned this today. It helps to breathe. Be aware of it. Breathe all the way. In out in out. Fill the entire body. Soul. Become one with spirit. Find the Yahwist source. Mind. Body. Soul. Play with the dirt. Be one with Earth. Connect to Gods Heaven. Find your way home. Safe. You may stop breathing. But be aware of it. When you do stop. And then start again. It is very true. Cool. Heal. Love. Keep up with faith. Stay connected to source. Self. Beleive in the magic✨✨✨✨

Taking time

Taking the time to just be still and to think of nothing but calmness

Breath

Being aware of breathing takes away all unnecessary thoughts.

Subconscious

Awareness of breath is a trick(not in the bad sense) of tapping into your subconscious , because we breath consciously and we breath unconsciously.

Breathing

It was great and after 3 minutes I feel refreshed, relaxed, free, calm, one with nature and at ease.

Thoughts

I have tried meditation on my own so many times in the past. I would always get discouraged and quit when I had thoughts pop into my consciousness, I would think that maybe that meditation wasn't for everyone, especially me. To here the acknowledgement that it's ok to have thoughts pop in, actually helped me feel vibrant and regain the ability to focus on my breath and the blank space. I feel that the simple statement provided the relief I needed to get over my most major obstacle regarding meditation.

Meditation 1

I am relaxed now that I have meditated.................................There should not be restrictions on how little one wants to write.

Donna

I find it very hard to relax and would appreciate any tips to help!

Relaxed

On my way too having a good relaxed day and becoming more aware of the beautiful things around me to enjoy

Breath

Focusing on the sensation of breath within my body works to calm my mind.

Good session

This is the most basic of Mindfulness practices. It can be done anytime, anywhere as breath is something we always have. Today this was a good one for me. Very relaxing and calming.

Life

Breath-sustaining life is a gift. We breathe in life and breathe out what we don't need. It's beautiful.

Open the Windows

Reminded that even a short run, followed by quiet time w/ open windows & a breeze, quiets the mind.

Breathing

I learned that the art of just breathing is taken for granted because we do it everyday all day long.

Significance

It's easy to forget how significant the simple act of breathing is. It makes the things that we usually worry about pale in comparison. I want to live not to cross the next item off my to-do list, but to enjoy every simple moment and every breath.

Breath...

The gentleness of inhaling and exhaling reminded me that the vitality of life lies in the cycle of giving and receiving. I need both to thrive.

💕

We forget how Important it is to be in the moment, to just breath.

😰-😌

I am totally a procrastinater. I have so much homework due tomorrow and a headache and I was totally freaking out and stressing but this session regulated my breathing and calmed me down, I love this app!

Understand

I learned via this meditation that breath is the only difference between life and death.

Me

Breathing frees the chains of the mind that link us to our body's and ego.

2nd try

I learned that numbness can happen quickly and you have to stay focused to really get what all’s worth of the meditation

Focus

I learned how focused I can be. It was liberating to think of nothing but breathing, the only thing that keeps us alive despite what we might think otherwise. It was a welcome distraction from the stress of the work week

Autopilot

I learned that each day we can run mindlessly on autopilot. I find this happening throughout my day, at work, in the car, at the gym... Just going through the habitual motions of life. Stopping to connect to the breath, quieting our mind and relaxing tension in the body reminds me to stop and use all my senses throughout the day.

Star

I was sun i am dust all furnaces lit by gods Broken hand feel the creation amounting

Oneness

Breathing is sharing with each and every living beings. How powerful. Thanks to air.

Stress

I learned that I shouldn’t worry too much about what possibly could happen or what has happened, and, instead, I should focus on the present and what is happening right in front of me.

First meditation in a long time

This experience helped me understand meditation much better than when I tried before and I feel more peaceful and less tired. I like the strategy of blowing bad thoughts out with each breath and will try to use that

I learned that

Taking deeper breaths allowed me to feel more calm. Releasing the negative energy as I exhaled and allowing my body to listen to the calming voice and being aware of my body really soothes my anxiety.

being scared.

I learned that I need to stop fearing things I don’t understand or know. I am very stubborn sometimes when it comes to how i feel about something. It’s almost like i’m scared to try new things. I learned i can’t be this way and i need to have a more open mindset.

Breathing

I like to breath and relax and smile. I didn’t like the music though, bad vibe.

I can take this time if I need it

It's about taking care of me first and then I'm able to care for others

Today

I learned that I value friendship over my own needs. That I have so rarely found the ability to have intimacy that I cherish it.

Breathing

Breathing helps my muscles in my body feel loose. It also helps me feel calm and happy.

Importance of breathing

Focusing on your breathing helps you focus on the present, it takes away the ifs and buts when you just listen to the way you breath.

I learned..

that even in the chaos of the world around us, breathing is the best thing to do.

With the breathing in feel the oxygen healing every cell of your body and breathing out releasing toxics.

It’s important to focus on inhalation as bringing life-giving air into the body, and thinking of exhalation as expelling all stress, anxiety, and negative emotions.

Awesome

I learned that I have control of my stress level. I need to do this more often to be able to function at a stress free level.

When you’re focusing on yourself, 3 minutes somehow are the longest and the quickest time you’ll ever spend.

Thoughts

It’s okay to just let them be there and for me to just concentrate on breathing rather than focusing on those thoughts is good but I can still have them

Thoughts

My thoughts wander to negativity and I need to learn to appreciate the positive thought and embrace them to have a positive outlook

Awareness

Meditation doesn’t have to be long to be effective. Just coming back to awareness often is better than length once a day

First Day with App

I couldn't help but agreeing and debating some of the teacher's instructions. None the less, I want to learn mindfulness until I get to a customized exercise that works for me and my personality. At 40 yrs old I finally got the memo that life isn't dishing me unfair and hard things; I need to take ownership of life and learn how to cope with it better. Mostly, I want to live in peace, regardless of outside activities that are out of my control, and I want to teach my children early on - so they don't have to figure it out so late in life! Onward...

Mindfulness Meditation

I learned that descriptive words help me to realize more of how I can relax. Relax the muscles behind the eyes. I liked that. I checked the remaining time which I thought was odd afterward. I think I wanted it to be longer and got anxious to know how much time I had left to myself. I need longer meditations.

Breathe

Breathe like it is a new experience Can I feel different in three days? Yes

My first meditation

I learnt that you have to stay calm and collected to have a healthy life and to be determined and motivated every day to accomplish your goal !

Thoughts While Meditating #1

I learned that it’s okay to have thoughts while you’re meditating, just acknowledge them and let them go, to drift out into the void again. You don’t need them really. Makes meditating a lot easier and more fun. Also short sessions were nice because I slowed down my thoughts but didn’t get sleepy. I could see myself doing this in the middle of the day or in a practice room in Dalton!

Calmness

I learned that knowing your breathing can calm all your worries and take your mind off of everything

Breathing

As I was listening it felt like I was moved to another place. Every noise in my room became completely silent as I was focusing on my breathing. Having a bad case of asthma made me realize that I take the deep breaths for granted and should be aware more.

Breath

Breathing can be as amazing as you let it be.. there is so much that goes on with each breath, whether it’s breathing in and filling every cell with oxygen, or breathing out and releasing all of the poison and toxins form you body.

Awareness of breathing

I can fully relax. Three minutes felt like 10 seconds. Remember yoga in India.....

Breathing

Three minutes of no thoughts, closed eyes and concentrated breathing is very relaxing.

First session

The event which brought me the most anxiety this week was the job rejection. It made me doubt my inner transformation, was I really the social, excitable and optimistic person I thought I had become or was I just believing a lie? Every time my mind strayed to that event it was a torturous reminder of the version of myself I was trying to grow from and I viscerally hurt when I thought about it. I tried to forget about the event by not acknowledging it and suppressing it because the shame and the embarrassment was so intense, but I knew this wasn’t the right way to overcome these hurtful thoughts. During the meditation when the instructor said to release all my anxieties I vividly pictured the interview room; there were white, black and orange snakes slithering outward from the room towards a black bin. It felt like a release of the bad emotions and I was so lost in the new feeling of contentment that I was mildly startled when the instructor began to speak again. I feel at peace.

Breathing

To be in the here & now & to focus on my breathing. I️t was very helpful to wake up & start my day with this technique.

What I learned

I learned that breathing helps to calm me down in a stressed situation.

Irritation

I need to STOP when I’m extremely irritated and learn to breathe.

Breathing made me feel very relax! Felt my body and mind connected with each other.

Day 1

I learned today that there's an app to meditate and my dog already doesn't like it lol

Acceptance

It's okay to have anxiety, stresses or worries. It's not okay to tell myself that once they're there, they are stuck with me forever and there's no going back. My own mindset controls my mind, outside factors are just the distractions of overcoming this.

Meditation - Day 1

I have a muscle spasm in my left shoulder/ scapula area today. It’s been there a week or more. I learned I can give 3 minutes to breathe, relax, & become mindful, in spite of discomfort.

When I closed my eyes dark room about to fall asleep. I saw a prism of blue eyes closed. Beautiful.

I can see with my eyes closed. I was surprised yet I always see eyes when I close my eyes. Pointillist eyes in darkness shining looking back me. Animals people.

Hi

Soothing

Learned that with a long stressful day. 3 minutes of your life can be very relaxing

First Days of Meditation

I learned that meditation can be used almost anywhere. I have found it to send me into a calm neutral state and either at work or at home.

Today

I tried new things... i'm starting to feel different. I hope that it is for the better .

Anxiety

It’s difficult to completely relax. Especially when you have a cold and are sniffling. During this meditation I️ saw many different places in my mind’s eye. Places that I️ have not visited in quite some time. Maybe I’ve seen them on tv? Trying to relax, I️ think of massage and how this helps me to relax. Let everything go. Just let it all fade away.

Life:

It’s never easy and nothing’s free. But with a good woman, beautiful daughter. There are plenty of amazingly wonderful moments and memories that make every Day worth it. Faith, love, family.

Wow

I have so much tension in my body. I didn’t know I could feel so relaxed.

I imagined

The visual keys helped me to relax and destress I imagined along to the lady’s spoken meditation on the first session on this app. Thanks.

Session 1

I learned I can control things coming into my mind. I felt calm and every breath

Stress

My body’s stress response stays for a long time even with meditation

Starting with 3 minutes to mediate is good to practice my goal to decompress my scattered mind for a few minutes!

Undwind

I learned that I must stop winding myself up throughout to day, exhausting myself

Wandering ears

I learned that I struggle with the urge to eavesdrop, even with my headphones in.

Wandering Mind

When meditating, my mind wants to relax and focus on my breathing and the nothingness that surrounds it, during mediation but then it also wants to think about unnecessary things...Today I learned not to fight that and lose myself in those thoughts. I learned to gently focus back on the nothingness and breathing and my mind will follow in the pattern of my breaths. A very nice feeling compared to what it’s used to ((high strung)).

Day 1

I am full of depression and pain. I feel discriminated against at school, just lost my grandfather, and think my boyfriend is cheating. I am a burden and overwhelming those close to me. Today I breathed that out, I am searching for footing though not balance. I am arrived in myself in this moment, this breath.

I can be without Aware thoutghts and that it is a real Break for me

awareness

This meditation helps you to separate your ego, and your subconscious mind and truly become aware of the world around you,,,, it helps bring me back to their true self away from ego and superficial problems.

First meditation.

I didn’t even do it properly. I wasn’t in position and I wasn’t fully committed, but my thoughts were, and just 3 minutes made me become aware of my body, I felt my body on a deeper level as I’m relaxing in bed. I was nervous, because my boyfriend was in the room. But tomorrow, after a hot shower I’m going to do yoga as I meditate. I think combining the two will be plentiful.

1st session

It’s hard to focus away from my heartbeat. Breathing exercises are always nice for me.

First Time Breathing

Pretend like this is the first time drawing breath. Breathe in the positive new outlook on the day. Exhale the poisons and negativity.

Feeling stressed about my environment

I learned that I’m always in somewhat high anxiety at home. Especially on weekends. The first thing my ,mom does is yell my name when she comes downstairs and throughout the meditation I heard footsteps and was just waiting for her to yell and put me in that high anxiety mood. But she didn’t. So I have to slowly learn to not let her control how I start my day. Even if she yells my name just quietly tell her I’m busy and continue with what I’m doing.

Me Time

I learned that it’s okay to take some time out for me. To relax and do things that I like to do and be happy and just feel okay.

Focus on your breath when you are stressed Stay in the moment Only now matters

Selfness

It helped me relax and start my day happy. You should try this out when stressed.

It's always our decision.

I learned that everything we're sorrounded by are just pictures of what we really see but if we close our eyes for several minutes and put ourselves where we always wanted to be (a place of complete relaxation and peace of mind) then we'll be there and I believe that's going to make us feel a lot better and have a very good influence on our day, mood and life generally.

First session.

It was surprisingly relaxing, and only took three minutes. Let’s see if we can dive into this and really stick with it, my mind gets so cluttered and stressed. This could be easy and great here we go!

Being in the present

Sometimes it’s important to just relax and breathe. We take for granted the little things & they can be taken away from us, it’s important to be grateful & be present.

New beginning

This mediation journey is new to me, but I’m 100% committed.. time to lock in on my inner self, peace and unity.

I like to think of exhaling as recycling CO2 into the ecosystem

My exhaled CO2 feeds the plants near me, weaving me into the ecosystem around me, tying me gently to all life that was and will be. When I exhale, I share with them; and when I inhale oxygen, they share with me. Even when we feel alone, we are always part of a Whole, helping and being helped. Perhaps that Whole is God’s embrace.

I learned that my breath can help me release any stress or anxieties that I carry.

That I can let thoughts in and out without doing anything about them.

Eyes shut

When I shut my eyes I can switch off and just think of the simplest things like my breathing.

Breath

I remember reading once that all the oxygen we breathe is all part of atoms. These atoms could have been anywhere, since they aren't created or destroyed. They simply exist. So the air I breathe can be filled with atoms that have created planets, been breathed in by newborn children, have been by the fresh sea air and have been through the freshest of pine forests by mountain ranges. Each atom I breathe could've been part of something great. Now? It's part of keeping my complex body working. And I think that's pretty beautiful.

Breath-out slowly as though you try to hang on a little longer on the youthfulness that expires by every passing moment. Look into the blank dark page within the closed eyes...ask yourself, how do I shed some light in this self created loathe? Entrapment perhaps? Breath deeper! Reach into the empty well to find what you think is most important. What really matters anyway? What am I looking to fulfill?

I learned that for me to be able to concentrate on a deeper level with my breathing, or really helped to focus and actually look at the blank space in front of me when my eyes are closed. I’ve done meditation before but in those short 3 minutes I really felt connected to myself and peaceful.

Day 1

Breath is life and it is wonderful Pause Breathe Peace Calm

Breathing

I learned that simply taking a minute to breath and let go helps a lot with tension and anxiety!!

First mindfulness meditation

I can relax and liked breathing out the bad things. That felt very personal for me and I wasn't expecting that

Breath

Breath awareness is something that can go by the wayside, but palpating your breath is crucial. (DAILY)

Breathe

Breathing is interesting. Inhale the thing that gives you life. Exhale the toxins.

Breathe

I need to focus on my breathing and be aware of every breath
