Body Scan

Connecting with my body

I loved the flow of this one. Starting rooted in my feet, this my mind followed all the suggestions so well, connecting with my body in a way I haven't felt in weeks.

Scan

Short and sweet yet very effective A breather morning noon or night

Refocusing feeling throughout my body.

Have to pay attention on feeling in tune with peace throughout my body. This meditation helped reset and refocus that attention.

Wow

It's great to pay attention our body when we beginning our days! Was great!

Body Scan

Great way to calm down the mind by paying attention to the body.

Breathing

More you breath in and out with a positive source of vision, the greater the attraction.

Body

How important it is to focus and give thanks for every little bit of your body which works together

Awareness

I must take time out of my day to make myself aware of what is going on with my body.

I'm a little too anxious....

....For a body scan right now lol. I'm not sure what's brought it on this morning but it's there. I think I've been lacking in my practice letting hurts of the past and concerns of the future are sneak in for whatever reason. It's weird because things are going really well lately.

Inner vs outer

The extension of the body is the world. And the organism that Is the world must feel as the blood coursing through your veins feels. The stream of emotional network than engulfs us.

Energies

I recently had surgery and as I completed this I could sense the areas that were damaged and felt the extra work my body was doing in those spots. Amazing to be able to connect with my physical and spiritual self that way.

Body scan

Focusing on your body is a good way to calm down your mind and recenter yourself

First Session

Ive learned that if we can just sit still and just be mindful of the instruction of the leader can make us realize that it is possible to be mindful....feeling of just being there in that moment in time...really precious👏👏👏🙏🏽😇 and very 😎 relaxing

Body scan

I need help. I could not get the body scan to work. So , I just listened to the meditation and worked on that.

Dont sweat it

I learned that even though some thing may be going wrong in life not to worry about it too much and keep living your life because things will get better if you let them.

Short but useful

I’ve been working with meditation for some time. These meditations are quite short but I was surprised how different my experience was co pared to when I first started meditating. The meditations are like washing your face for refreshment compared to longer meditations being like a shower or a bath. There is room for both experiences.

Short and Helpful

I found that even a short little meditation like this have a healing restorative effect on my and the world around me. So important!! 😘

Body

We take the magnificence of our bodies for granted, this vessel that is our lifeline to the physical, my gratitude to its wonders is boundless.

Sound in meditation

I learned that when I am doing one of these meditations I become more aware of nature sounds. Like the breeze blowing in the trees, and the migrating geese honking. It is a nice way to feel connected.

In doing this meditation I learned that my body gives off more energy than I had realized

I can drown out the sound of the world to focus on myself. The way my toes feel and the tingling in my calfs. Breathing deep and relaxing

I learned that !

It helps take your mind to a relaxing place where ever you are!!!

Relaxing

I was very happy during that session and it really got my thoughts of the stuff I needed to do, and it really calmed down my brain: I enjoyed it!

Apprehensive at first but then surprised.

I learned that opening up your mind to different forms of meditation and relaxation techniques and surprise you and many positive ways.

I learned that...

I am glad I am starting on this journey because I have a difficult time shutting out the noise and stressors in my life, even for just a few moments; which alter my mood significantly.

Positive vibes

I learned that it might take me awhile but I can do this. I know it’s hard and I know I want to quit but I CAN DO THIS.

Zoloft (sertraline)

My rx is now coming through a delivery service instead of pharmacy and I'm thinking the manufacturer is different. I take it at 9:00 at night and for the past few days, I've been awake around 12/1:00 feeling anxious. Praying this is temporary! Going to start taking it earlier in the evening to see if it helps my sleep (which is already not so good). Anyone experience similar?

Wooooo

That one really took me for a loop. Like wow!!!!! Made me feel like my brain was heavy

First time

I learned that it’s more difficult than I thought to put all your focus into one thing or thought

I get so calm...

Every time I listen to this, I’m always stressed with what’s going on, my grandfather passed, I’m stressed with school, terrorists attacks are happening nearby me. But this just keeps me focused on JUST this. Its so soothing too, you should try it

attention

the body is continually flowing, and giving attention to the sensations and tuning in can ground us.

Body connection

Today i learned that it is important for the mind to connect with the body it’s always processing information like a computer it craves more as does the body give it that relaxation time it desires and live in that moment thank you 💛🙏🏻

Day 1

I learned how to slow down my breathing and be relaxed; noticing my body and it’s sensations

Calm

Since doing the Aura meditation regularly I feel more calmness and overall acceptance. I’m grateful!

Peace

Taking simple steps with focus on the breath quickly reveals an infinite universe of possibility x

Body scan

It is a great challenge to focus on each individual area of the body. Learning to focus our attention more precisely also helps to guard against distraction.

Sensations

I found in the past that when I ran my hands over the body area I want to scan it helped me visualize the scan inside my mind. So when I visualize this scan I can remember the order and my body parts far better. Then all I focus on now is the sensations in each body part. Depending on my depth of meditation I can feel the energy meridians running down my body. But to get to this state I need a real quiet mind.

Meditation on a Park Bench

I learned that you can not benefit from something unless you dedicate your whole awareness to it.

Tranquil work moments

Taking moments at work to step out of work allows you to realign your self and release the annoyances into the abyss

Alway

The United path is seen as a road made of roads but where now is a car

Growing apart from...

You cannot grow if you let people keep you right where you are because they don’t want to see you grow. Amen

Here and now

Focussing on the present moment starts with focussing on me. Without a sense for the me there's no sense for the present.

I learned that when you need time to heal you just need to take time for yourself and listen to your

Body as it knows when you are tired. Just breathe and listen. Thank you

Ease tension...

I really learned that it’s important for me to stop and breathe. I was also reminded that I hold tension and certain parts of my body and how to ease the tension away. 😀

Body scan

It is so simple yet so beneficial to scan my body at the end of the day

Christmas Eve

Meditation should be practiced regardless of the holiday. I hope all of my Aura clan enjoys their day today and Christmas day celebrations with loved ones tomorrow!

Bodu

Being aware of your body and it’s position can have impacts on stress level based on where you are carrying tension.

Check in

Take time to check in with my body to release negative energy. Body awareness is like a blueprint for me.

Body Scan

Scanning my body was so simple, yet meaningful and beneficial!

Good basic body awareness exercise.

I have often struggled with the important role of the mind/body connection. I tend to be very much in my mind and by nature a very analytical person. In doing so I ignored signals my body was sending that it needed attention and care. My lack of body awareness also made it easy to disregard my emotions as they are housed in our body and without careful attention tended to not to be acknowledged, fully experienced and understood. This over time can lead to a toxic build up that the body will go to even greater lengths in order to be heard. I encourage everyone to become more aware of your body, where difficult emotions tend to take up residence in your body regularly as to deal with life and impact on yourself, in all its forms, as it is occurring.

Thoughts

It was hard to focus on the various parts of my body when I’m laying down. Maybe this would be better sitting upright

Connecting

Scanning the body helps to connect the inner and outer 'worlds'

Duplicate

Consecutive sessions about the body scan. Ready to consider something new!

Energy

Our body has a certain energy, but we are often distracted and we don’t notice it. In order to feel this energy our mind has to connect with every cell in our body.

Body scan

At times, my mind can be cluttered with things that I’m worried about. It’s nice to listen to these mindfulness moments just to relax. Even if I’m not completely paying attention, listening to these help me to breathe better and de-stress myself.

Biofeedback

It reminded me of my biofeedback training many moons ago during a difficult time in my life. A welcome reminder of the wonderfully restorative “routine” to explore all areas of tension in my body!

Aware

I am so thankful I have a working body!!! Taking time to realize how blessed I am was much needed.

Heavy

Made me center myself. And aware of the body’s aches and pain. But was great for the mind.

Body

Feeling the presence and pressure is something to help if you feel lost.

Body

Feeling the presence and pressure is something to help if you feel lost.

Body Scan

Taking a moments time to analyze the body and the parts that aggregate it, truly widens breath

Attention

I learned that paying deep attention to my body can be very calming.

Body scanning out the sleepiness

I recently watched a documentary on people healing themselves from all types of illnesses and pain, by training their minds to let their bodies repair itself. When i do a body scan, i picture new healthy cells forming throughout my entire body inside and out. I can feel myself getting energized by my thoughts. I even taught my kids this practice and the boo boos seem to heal faster! When you truly believe something your mind will believe it as well. If you believe you are sick, you’re gonna feel sick, the same as if you believe you are healthy your body will follow. Smile often and you might find yourself to be in a better mood!

Wow

I loved that one! I was made aware of all the feelings and senstaions my body feels that are are usually tuned out, made me feel very aware :)

Body scan

Pay attention to each individual part of your body, welcome the sensations and feel refreshed

Body

I felt at peace as I scanned my body. It was interesting and fun to feel each part through my mind.

Body scan

Tuning in to the body helps me appreciate everything my body does for me each and everyday. I am so thankful for my body.

You get out what you put in

If I half feel like meditating, I get a half way experience.

Paying attention to my body

Makes me feel better and respect my feelings. There are parties of the body that tells different sensation.

Centering

I noticed that I had a hard time staying focused and trying to center and relax. I kept thinking about a friendship, that o honestly thought and believed I didn’t want anymore.

Tingles

I really learned to pay attention to the right spots to relax and relieve tension. This left my arms and legs tingling after the session. I found myself sitting for another 3 minutes after empty minded and focused on my breath.

Center

I feel a bit more aware than I was before this practice. My body feels centralized

Pace

For me, this was a little too fast paced to be effective. Before I had fully connected with a part of my body we were moving to the next one.

Things to do

I learned that some days are better than others in all things, including meditation. Today this meditation only reminded me of all the Doctors appointments I need to make in order to keep my body healthy. This is not particularly a bad thing, just not helpful in easing my stress.

Body scan

I feel relaxed...and my feet feel cool from the air passing around and under them...they are sweating

Relaxing

I found that as I focused on different parts of my body, the area would automatically relax. I wasn’t trying to relax the areas, it just seemed to happen as my attention was directed towards them. It was relaxation without conscious thought. Wow 😮

Wonderful Wednesday 4-4-18

This meditation was very relaxing. However, as we went through the whole body, I didn’t start really relaxing until I focused on where I am hurting the most. Thank you, Aura! Have a nice day Everyone!😀

I noticed that

As soon as I focus on my breathing It changes 😊. I simply cannot observe my normal breathing since it becomes abnormal as soon as I pay attention to it!

Centering

Nice quick meditation to center the mind and body connection.
