Body Scan

A great way to start my Friday. 😊

I learned that no matter how often my attention wanders I can just gently bring it back to the moment. I really enjoyed the gentle cues that brought my focus back to my body. I learned to appreciate the thoughts that seem so important and so badly want attention while also letting them go and returning my awareness to the present. 😊

A wonderful, quick self-reconnect

It's pretty amazing how just taking three minutes breathe and do something like a body scan can help get you out of your head, reconnecting with your inner peace. For myself, this is especially helpful when I find my mind beginning to swirl with anxiety or frustration. With only three minutes doing a quick body scan, you can snap yourself back to the present moment and continue your day with renewed energy and confidence.

Making myself a priority

It is important that I make myself a priority is a great way to do that.

Body scan

Listening to entire body signals , and take time to reset and breath

Body Scan

It's important to focus on myself and be aware of what my body is feeling and telling me. Be present in the moment and just breathe

I like that one because I could lay down and it was so much about focusing on my breath

Scanning what I'm feeling in my body is important for centering myself

I learned to appreciate that I have a body.

My body moves and has sensations that are described by Aura. I really like the picture ⬇️

Feel

I take my body for granted. Every bit of it. Of course, I know I have a face, legs, arms, ten toes, and ten fingers, but I never take time to appreciate them and sit to listen to how my body feels. I definitely feel more aware now.

My Whole Body

Taking time to take care of my whole body was very helpful for me.

Reconnecting with the body

Re-connecting with the body through body scanner allows you to focus on the well being of your body and how it relates to your mind and spirit. If your mind, body and spirit are not aligned you will not be centered or grounded for a positive day! So take time and be still and focus on your body and how it feels.

Day 11

It's been 11 days in a row that I've felt well. I haven't had a bad day, I've felt good in myself (despite the fact I've just caught a cold). I haven't been meditating a lot but I do find it relaxing. I have also been writing a diary about my bad days and about my good days and I find it really helpful. I think the hardest struggle with mental health is the fact that it is really difficult to confide in others about it as no one really understands what each single person is suffering as everyone is different, I find writing it down helps a lot because it is as if you are talking to someone, and you can open up more. I really recommend any sufferers to give it ago.

Full body scan

Nice to relax, but I should find the right time and place. Also, should focus more on the left side of my body at the gym cause only the right side is sore.

Restored

Today was my first lesson of meditation ever, I feel alive and super connected to myself. I aspire to do this everyday, dealing with mental health I need something to make me feel real and after today I finally felt alive.

Body scan

I felt the need to stretch each body part in time with the meditation, no thinking, just a small stretch helped me.

Be happy

I’ve started to learn the difference between trying to stop my mind of thinking and letting my mind think and identify why my mind goes to certain places. Anger has always been an issue for me and I’m learning that while my initial reaction is anger at other people it truly stems from myself. I get angry when people do things that I would have done or being annoyed because they don’t think about how it affects me. I’m not the center of their universe just as they aren’t the center of mine. I can choose to not be angry and be happy.

Focus on the body

It was a little hard this morning. Feeling pain in my head down my left arm.

Simple

These three minutes flew by and felt “easy” today, even though my house was full of distractions, and I was reluctant to begin today’s practice. It was nice to check in.

It’s okay to feel

It’s okay to think of things en to feel emotions, as long as you don’t get caught up in them

body

i learned that i can use body scanning to recenter my thoughts

Aww. I didn’t get to do this one coz there’s a storm and the internet went. And by the time it came

Back on, the app thought I had done it. Even though it hadn’t played at all 😢

Aww. Couldn’t play this one. Internet is down over a storm. Meditation started for a second. Then

Cut out. But then it disappeared coz it thought I had completed it 😢

Aww. Couldn’t play this one. Internet is down over a storm. Meditation started for a second. Then

Cut out. But then it disappeared coz it thought I had completed it 😢

Train into work

Well that was challenging! Lots of noise. But I still did it!

Sensations

I learn that as she was talking about each body part I would good a sensation in my finger tips

The body

My body and your body have parts in the same place I feel it you feel it

Light Body

I love scanning the body mentally. First learned this in hot yoga. Keeping the mind engaged on the body while at the same time relaxing the body caused lightness and an eventual drifting away... Ready to sleep. Thank you.

Body scan

I learned that it’s okay to do something even though your first reaction might be to skip it. I’m not sure why I typically don’t like stuff to do with the body. I don’t know how to skip a meditation, so I went ahead and did it. I didn’t go into it with a negative attitude or with a positive attitude, just wanting to do it. I actually liked it and felt better at the end. The nice thing I notice about these meditations is that they always end before you expect them to and I feel ready to do another one!

About you

Meditation is about yourself and making yourself feel like the best you possible. I feel as if I’m improving my moods and my feelings towards others.

Body

I learned that it is important to feel your body and to make a body scan any now and then.

Body scan

I learned that attending to your body in this manner takes the mind of worries and reduces feelings of anxiety.

Body Scan

Scanning my body really helps my mind focus on the present moment ✨🙏

Attention

Feeling all the sensations in your body makes you not stress about everything at once.

Body scan

Learning to concentrate on each individual body part keeps my attention focused. It is becoming easier to pick out certain precise areas to focus on. Nice challenge and I felt relaxed at the end.

Warm Glow

Focusing on my body distracts my mind. The warm feeling in my whole body must mean something. I️ am very emotional today, just because I️ am thankful of everyone around me

Healthy Monday 11-27-17

Stretch-Stretch-Stretch..Good Morning Everyone! I am feeling better. This is a great boost your morning, stretch your body, good for your soul meditation. I learned just to listen to my body and allow it to flow. Have a great day EVERYONE! Thank you, Aura!

Reconnect

At the end of this session the meditator thanked me for taking the time to reconnect. It had came to my attention that, that was what I was doing within myself. I am learning to reconnect within myself spiritually. Thus, I will be able to ground trenches within me instead of the previous worldly soil.

Day 3

Focusing on each body part at a time really helped me relax and recognize what needed to be relaxed.

What I learned

I learned to listen to aura when I’m mad or sad or stressed

There will always be people out there that want to hurt you

There will always be people out there that want to hurt you, be it mentally, physically, or emotionally. Once I get over the initial shock, I try to process the why. But in the end I need to protect me. It doesn’t do me any good to dwell on the person or his actions. I need to know I am a good person and I need to take the proverbial high road.

Exploring the body

I found some hidden pain in my body that I hadn't noticed before. Also a good relaxing experience.

Sensations in the body

I learned to reconnect with my body and learned to relax and at the same time be aware of any sensations I may be feeling that stress or anxiety has been muting. 😍😎💚💙💜

12/23/17

Today I had a hard time concentrating on the meditation. My mind kept wandering to other things. However, when I was focused on the present moment, I enjoyed the body scan meditation

Nice change

I am currently experiencing a phase of anxiety but this was really helpful, it was nice to think of something relaxing rather than worrying for a change and has helped me feel more positive.

Tuning into your body

I didn’t realize how out of touch I am with just sitting in my body and occupying it.

So simple

I really like that focusing on one little area can shift your perspective

Better

To relax with people talking around where I am, also to feel all the sensations I had at the moment of relaxation.

This felt good

Doing this exercise I actually could feel each body part one by one and realized a feeling of peace and tranquility I change in concentration from body part a body part. This was a very good one.

Relaxed and ready for bed

I learned how to relax my muscles and when I was doing this I felt like my mind was calm and just focused on relaxing each body part. Know I will have a good night sleep!

Body scan

The body scan is the ideal tool for me to get to the here and now.

Body scan

I found it much easier to relax today. I was really able to focus on each part of my body. I was surprised that I didn’t have many thoughts pop into my head

Body scan

I learnt that what your body and mind are doing are two very different things but your mind has the power of creating tension and laziness in your body. Mindfulness helps to break through that wall that your mind can set up. 💪🏼⚡️

Emotion and feeling

Emotions and experience are definitely tied to sensations in the body

Sleepy

I’m so tired I almost fell asleep aghhh! It’s just so relaxing and it’s so late hahaha

Body scan

It is important to take time today to take a quick inventory of how my body feels and relax that part that is painful or stressed.

Vibrations

I learned to explore the vibrations within my body while also blocking out any unnecessary thoughts that I’m having while at complete peace

Body scan

I learned that I can observe my feelings and thoughts without judgment.

Body

It is necessary to respect the body by respecting its pieces.

Tingle

Relaxing and focusing on one part of your body can help calm and bring a tingly feeling to ones body parts helping to get rid of stress

Problem areas

I have a lot of tension in the neck and lower back sacrum area. Funny how you normalise it and don’t question it! Why do we DO that!

Efforts must be continuous

Eva has day continue trying to be the best you. Each day is a new opportunity to teach yourself.

what ive learned today

ive learned that doing meditation on the bus is not the one.

Sensation

Sensation to move eyes to the top of my head not felt that before

Love yourself

I learned that I don’t need someone to love me,I just need to love myself

Auto Pilot Disconnect

I am human. I’ve had severe PTSD that began in my Mother’s womb. In order to survive every type of abuse in my childhood - disconnecting my brain from the horrible torture my body was inflicted with was the only way to survive. For 31 years the strongest neuropath has been in flight mode. The past 5 years have been a slow conscious awakening. I’m so grateful that my thoughts and emotions no longer get to orchestrate my life. I have a choice now to open my world and life to the experience of connection. As I connect with myself and am learning mindfulness- I’m awakening my true self. My life is no longer a self fulfilled prophecy of reenacting my childhood. I’m so grateful for this app- it reminds me that I’m no longer a victim and have the choice to rewrite my life. Thank you for making this app available for free- because it’s giving me the opportunity to change my own life.

Body Scan

I have done this one before. It was great doing it again, checking in with the body. It gives me a positive sense of self-care to take those few precious moments to scan and notice the body.

Body scan

Go through each body part and feel and sense whatever that body part is feeling. Reconnect with your whole body

Day 54

I really liked this meditation and found myself being able to stay focused on my body

Body and Mind

It takes both body and mind to become one for full relaxation and understand of the two.

Tuning in to sensations in the body

I am learning to enjoy body scan meditation and to become curious about my body bones, muscles, organs, and the sensations.

Numbness

I’m feeling anxious about a big life change coming up but all I can do is take it day by day and keep taking steps forward to make this change successful. I feel the weigh of the experience all at once. I’m getting this relaxed feeling of numbness that lets me know right now just let it be

Day 20

I felt very relaxed during this meditation. I was very focused on the body scanning instructions.

Body scans are my favorite

Throughout my practices, I’ve always enjoyed the benefits of a body scan. Until you do a body scan, you never realize how hard the body is working even when you think you’re resting. Working from top to bottom you can feel the places that hold tension, clenched teeth, shoulders tense. It’s a great way to give your body an opportunity to let go! I like to picture healthy oxygen filled blood coursing through the body parts as i scan. If i feel any pain or tension, I give a little more time to that body part. Its like thanking each part of your body for all its hard work!

Reconnect

Reconnecting with my body after I get off work has helped me to loosen up and let got if the days stress. When I’m at home I need to be in my comfort zone. Put down the worries of work and focus on enjoying my home.

Out of my head

It was nice to feel present in the moment and in my body and not in my head.

Seven minute body scan

I learned that I can breathe into areas of pain and it will ease the pain.

Body scan

It was really nice to just reconnect with myself and focus on my body and not my thoughts

My first time meditating

It calms me down and can help me sleep. I didn’t think about her and just focused on me and myself only.

i felt very relaxed and calm and how my mind calmed down

i learned that there many sensations in the body and that if you relax you will be able to feel those sensations

Body scan

Really enjoyed this gentle body scan. I could feel some tension in my lower back begin to ease

Love body scans

It’s hard to stay focused sometimes but those thoughts are okay. I acknowledge them and get back to the body scan. They always make me feel better (even if it’s just for a little while). I’m just a work in process.

It was nice to reconnect with my body but it wasn’t appropriate for my mood.

I focus easier with my eyes closed. I did notice tension in my head and neck was eased some but I am still feeling sad.

21/3/18

I found this to be very calming. Giving me the chance to find tension in any part of my body really helps.

Relaxinr

As I️ did this exercise, I️ felt a sense of relaxation in my body. If you are anxious about an upcoming event, use this exercise to calm your nerves and relax.

Slowed Down

I needed to slow down and take a timeout. I breathed deep in and out and keep my eyes open, while sitting up. I did not necessarily feel something about my body but I considered it for once in the day.

My head was throbbing and I just noticed red and hot during this in the front of my head.

It feels a little better now! That I was able to relax and meditate

From tip to bow

I started out pretty tired, and I’m pleasantly surprised at how just taking a few minutes to acknowledge my body from head to toe and out to all the extremities gave me a lift. Namaste

Frazzled

Tingling in the arms and legs, racing pulse when I started out. I was able to lower my heart rate and and tingling sensations subsided. I feel like I can breathe freely again.

Great timing

I came to Aura this evening feeling sad and also with the beginnings of a migraine and pains elsewhere. This was a perfect meditation for these things- physical and emotional pain. Much gratitude for learning how much it helps to focus on the breath.

Feeling

Base of my skull aches as well as my lower back. Need to do meditation and sheathing in mornings to wake my body up. As well as nightly medication and stretches to relax before bed.

More thoughts

I could not listen to this meditation because I just kept having thoughts run through my brain, I think this meditation would be very good for beginners but I just couldn’t do it today.

More relaxation

This more so helped me relax body part by body part rather than just awareness. I did have to push thoughts out more than other meditations I've done, but they fairly easily subsided after focusing on my body.

Focus

I learned that by focusing on individual body parts helps me realize how much tension I’m holding in my busy and gives me an opportunity to release that tension.

Body Scan

I felt that just the soothing calm tone of your voice helped me relax

Aura

I found out that I fall asleep faster and quicker when I listen to Aura.

Reconnect

This meditation invites us to do a check up on ourselves. We live in every day in a constant rush -there are always things to be done, so it’s important to see how are WE doing; how do WE feel, etc. Take a moment to slow down & feel/sense each part of your body. Your body is your temple & you have to check if the foundation is solid.

Numbness

On the head area due to stress and crying overthinking and a headache from my inner pain.

Sensations in the Body

I can never really notice any sensation at the crown of my head or top of my head. I’ll have to continue focusing on that. I enjoy checking in with the body and doing a scan; I wish this was longer than 3 minutes! Tuning in to the body helps me release tension and have a better posture.

Reflection 10/8/20

I learned that tuning into my physical body can help tame my active mind. I never really noticed how much I tend to think about the next day when I’m trying to go to sleep. From now on, I will reflect and meditate before bed to ease my mind.

I felt at peace

my body is starting to get use to mediating. at first i would get unfocused and fidget but now i’m learning how to “ scan my body “

Focus

I’m learning to focus more on the present moment and not get distracted. This session was really relaxing and helped me notice the different sensations in my body.

Anxious have high anxiety need to ground and calm
