Beginners Breath Meditation

1/13

I noticed that the unwanted thoughts were still coming in, but it wasn’t extremely distressing

Breath

I never would have guessed that breathing would take such thought. I easily breathe in through my nose but struggle to exhale out through my mouth. I feel like the breaths I take are in my chest and not my stomach and when I try diaphragm breathing it’s awkward and not natural. However, when I do focus on my breath it is relaxing and can take away stress and anxiety

Breathing

I yoga breath every day. I have been doing this for years. The difference is I breathe in from my nose and out from my mouth. I don’t mind breathing in using my nose and out from my nose. I

I noticed by just changing my breathing I can lesson my anxiety

I learned how breathing differently can help me regain peace

Focusing on my breath settles my thoughts and calms me.

I learned that it doesn’t take much when refocusing on my breath to bring me back to the present.

First meditation

Learned to follow breath from nose to abdomen and back. Focused on how the wind feels in my skin.

Day 1 practice 2

This one was a little bit easier for me to do. I think the guidance helps me stay focused and not let my mind wander

Begin

This app doesn't track time. You have to police this yourself. The surf and water sounds are very gentle.

Very restful!

I enjoyed this as my first Aura session ever. I hope to try other coaches/therapists as well.

First Aura meditation; every journey has a beginning

This short breath meditation was simple and easy to follow. I’d like to develop a daily meditation practice, ideally at the start and end of every day

First meditation session

I learned my first session about patience, allow the environment around you to relax with you.

I felt

I felt calm and collective. I will certainly breathe more in my every day life.

I usually use my inhaler around this time every morning and some of the tightness in my chest was released before I used the inhaler so that always helps

I learned that the breath work might help with the asthma and congestion

First session on Aura

Did a meditation with a friend. Felt good 😁 This sound is one of my favorites to relax to.

First session with a friend

I love that you can share the healthy effects of meditation with a pal. We honestly both enjoyed it, love her voice! Please read me to sleep lol

In active trauma recovery and…

I know I breathe very shallowly. This is a gentle and simple thing I can do to help when I notice this.

Calming My Mind

I learned that while focusing on breath work that my mind started wandering. Can’t control it but be mindful of it and when I recognize it to return my focus to breath work.

Breath

I learned that I get distracted easy but I do acknowledge this.

The Feeling

I learned that if you actually sit down and take time for yourself how different it makes you feel. I’m always so stressed out and frustrated and I have a lot of anger in me, and I know it’s not good at all. So I’m actually sitting down and listening to the instructions on breathing in an out made me feel completely different. My thinking was different. I didn’t feel stressed, angry or frustrated at all.
