I felt free! Just being... this was exactly what I needed after such a busy day.

Self nourishment šŸ’™
This was a excellent way to end my day and would probably be great any time I needed some self nourishment. My mind wandered way to much but I heard enough to appreciate the meditation. I will try this one again tomorrow when my mind is more settled. Thanks šŸ™ Aura

My true self.
I learnt that in the effortlessness of being is my true self. The pure and free version of me that has always been there from the beginning and is still there now.

Very Calming
That was very safe and comforting. I felt so calm that I began feeling sleepy. I liked just being without attaching labels.

Perfect
This meditation is so full of wisdom that I can't believe it's only 3 minutes long. Definitely one that I can circle back to over and over again.

Authentic Self
Sometimes in life, we can get caught up in all of what this life demands of you. This meditation reminds us that before you had any labels (I.e., your name, gender, job, etc.), you have always been you. It is very comforting to simply realize how effortless it is to just exist...to be you, your true, authentic and pure self! Namaste! šŸ™šŸ»

This was profoundly calming.
I learned that I, by myself, am complete outside of my attachments. It was a very peaceful place.

I felt calm by noticing my natural presence and identity beyond the everyday pressures of society. It reminded me that in the grand scheme of things I shouldn’t worry too much about life’s stresses as I can always rely on the familiarity and comfort of myself in my resting state to guide me through.

I learned to just be, without any judgement or fear of being judged.

self reflection
Being me doesn’t require as much effort as I think it does. I am usually a better version of myself when my mind doesn’t go wandering in places I don’t want it to go. When my mind goes to those places, I remind myself that I am still me. Just bone and muscles wrapped in flesh.

I feel like I need to practice this more. Because right now, I feel a bit lost after the session.

Being not Becoming
I learned that sometimes all I need is to be me, completely unattached to everything around me and the circumstances of my life. To focus on my soul and my awareness and the fact that I exist.

That it made me feel good about me and I love it I feel good so yay

Literally tear’d up
This Definitely put into perspective for me that beyond experience, pain, connections, mistakes, attachment, issues, and opinions. At the the back of my mind who I am, who I was, and who I will become is there consistently telling me what I should and shouldn’t do. I need to hone in on my true voice and listen to it. Then I’ll always make decisions I’ll be able to live with.

Re-Introducing...
It felt fantastic to be re-introduced to my real/true self!! The true self ... without labels, without cares or without limits. The real self I have known before, forgotten about and just met again. She has a very calming voice that allowed me to both follow her & detach from any & all sensations and just ā€˜Be’... She suggests some great tools/techniques to employ to get us to this relaxed state & the quiet moments needed to get there. Very well orchestrated session that I hope to come back to or at least use parts of in the future! I feel unadulterated, boundless yet totally connected to the endlessly changing One. Thanks for another great session Aura! ā¤ļøšŸ˜‘šŸ€

This meditation stripped me of all unnecessary thoughts and emotions and made me focus on my core essence. It was a conversation with my soul.

Time for myself
This week I have made the decision to consciously allow myself time for meditation as I am led to believe that it will have significant benefits for my mental health and wellbeing. I hope I will be able to maintain that going forward I do at least one meditation a day, without losing focus.

Hard to snap out of a mind set
I want to continue focusing on clearing my mind so that I can control my thoughts and clear a busy mind. A busy mind resulted into heavy rushed quick breathing and an uncomfortable body.

Original Self
I really appreciated the focus on an unchanging self. The reminder that we are ourselves throughout every stage and experience in our lives felt profound.

Just being... Before I even had a name I was a being, just being. This is who I am, who I was and who I will always be! Just being...

Me
This is deeply profound. We attach so much to our person. We are judged so much but before all of that we were just a baby and loved. Before the ego and the needs.

Grips of Our Mind
I really enjoyed listening to this and would like to re-listen. She talks about how our spirit doesn’t have an age, name, gender, I don’t think I fully grasped the concept but letting go to feel complete serenity and happiness inside.

Reflection 10/10/20
I learned that I need to trust myself and be confident in my abilities. I need to recognize how far I’ve come and give myself credit for the work I’ve done, both personally and academically. I am learning to trust myself and be confident in who I am.

I remembered it’s all empty any meaningless and I identify with my thoughts completely and bring sia
How I wound up being gets in the way of me being able to even see that as my thoughts kick in so quickly when I awake I am not what’s going on internally

today’s meditation
i learned that i am more than my age, appearance, materialistic aspects and overall image. I am simply energy and a soul and i would love to tune in and channel that more often. i think everyone could benefit from this meditation to take a minute to realize your energy is the most important thing to take care of rather than your hair, makeup or outfit. As long as my energy is pure and i’ve realized i am me and that’s it, i can have an amazing day :))

There is so much for us as humans to learn a lot of us get so busy we don’t know how to be happy. Learn to love and enjoy all the simple things in life

There Is Nothing More Freeing
...than just by being. When I free myself from the grips of my age, gender, job, the notoriety of my thoughts, memory, experience and ambition, I find the perfection of my being. How I always strive for ā€œextraordinarinessā€ by constantly doing and choosing, when the original, ā€œsubtler than subtleā€ me - unbound - can be found by undoing and just by existing.

I’ve felt better
I’ve learned that things do get better and you have to be low to be joyful. Life isn’t just straight road, it has holes and turns and even roadwork, and that’s something what makes it interesting.

Inner/outer body experience & freeing
Wonderful to to go deep within and forget our earthy trappings. Wonderfully freeing to separate my soul from my body for a few minutes and feel true grace. I feel so much calmer and more present. I did the 7mn one.

Relaxing
A reminder to just be and that we have always been and will be able to step out and notice without getting caught up in labels.

Existing …
Quickly & deeply relaxed in 3, 2, 1 breathes… … Air… Here… No time… No labels… No worries… No thoughts… No judging to do… Nothing but existing… Perfectly content to be… Otherworldly yet safe… Inexplicably calm… Uniquely myself… Yet one w/ All… Complete… Existing… I Am… Me… …

I’ve always felt my spirit inside of me. My simple just being self. Watching everything that’s happened in my life from a a secure place within me. Unharmed by anyone or anything. My ultimate place.
This place. Me. Always my deepest intuition. My Guide for all things. Whether I externally listened, this place inside of me always knows the right thing. The right path. The me without a name. Wow, meditation brought so much of who I really am to my awareness today. Thank YOU for always being there. In perfection. I’m divine order.

I was in a bit of a rush this morning but still appreciated the beauty of this. I will return and follow the longer version.

I felt immersed in the beginning but lost it after; need to re-listen to it again

Wow
I seemed to have forgotten that I exist all on my own & I choose how to respond to outside things. It was nice seeing me for the first time in a while. Very abrupt ending though.

Beingness
We are all created equal. We are all One. Let us not forget that we are all interconnected beings with an ultimate purpose of being ourselves, which is more than good enough.

Just being
I was completely there where you led me. Just being. I felt like I was a part of something infinite. It was a feeling I've only had for very short moments before. I wanted it to last and last. I will most certainly listen to this again. Thank you for guiding me to that state of being.

I felt light.
I learned that putting my tongue to the roof of my mouth helps relax my jaw.

Releasing the negative
I felt loved, just for a few moments. Oh how I needed that. I loved myself.

Quiet the mind, be to become
I learned that there is a pleasure to just being and a healing feeling that arises. I learned that setting aside time to just be can help the mind with the human aspect of becoming.
