Body Scan

Focus

I have a hard time focusing on one thing at a time. I get distracted by sounds and movements around me

Breathing into your body

Very good meditation because it describes breathing into different parts of your body

Relaxing

This would be a nice meditation more for bedtime. It was relaxing though.

Body scanning

Perfect ,,, A reconnection of mind and body in a brief session exactly what the doctor ordered for me. Body Scanning is my most useful tool as well as Breathing .

Caring for my tension now.

I learned that if I take a moment to relax and really listen to my body and become aware of where I carry my tension, I can possibly prevent the development of aches later on by mindfully caring for that part of my body now.

First timer

I liked the direction to focus and breath into parts of my body, it helped me to focus and note points of tension and try to help ease those. At the end I tried to continue to Carty on without the guided voice, I found my mind wandering & then would get frustrated with myself but I tried to bring myself back each time & not be too hard on myself. I imagine this will get easier as I learn & grow with mindfulness meditation.

Love yourself.

I learned that getting in tune with my mind and body is the first step to loving myself, the way I am.

First time

I liked that it showed to how to focus on parts of my body. It helped me focus on my breathing

Our body orivudes

Our body has what we need. Our body gives us what we need.

Breathing

Really thinking about breathing in positive vibes and releasing negative ones can truly help

Breathe

I learned that...I need to feel it all. Focus on my whole body. On my legs, on my thighs, on my feet, on my neck. Focus on the air in my lungs going through my whole body and as it releases to let all my worries and fears go.

Mind Fully Present

I liked the name of this one! I noticed again that my breathing is easier, which allowed me to focus on other parts of my body. It was a busy day and this meditation was a delightful ending. Thank you to the presenter!!

Meditation spoilt

By girl on bus talking so loud, even on full volume I could not hear the track properly 😩

Another session that would have benefitted from a posture description prior to starting

It would be awesome if Aura sessions had the suggested posture for meditation included in the text description for each session. If I knew that it was a seated session prior to starting, i could get to a chair rather than my norm of lying in bed (part of my disability). Just sayin’! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Body Scan During Class

I️ liked this meditation, but it’s still hard for me to truly ignore what I’m thinking to focus on the moment. In class I’m hyper aware of every look my way, of anxious thoughts of people watching and judging, and I️ think I’m still afraid of letting go and being fully in my body. But this was mostly a me thing and not anything wrong with the meditation.

Awareness

I learned that the things that surround you could be like a knife with two sides it could help you feel peaceful but at the same time it could be stressful you are the one that decides what it is gonna be. You are actually the factor that can change how your surroundings affects you.

Sundown

I sat with my pocket and bucket all full of myself and it made me think a second thought

Thursday 11-30-17

I learned as I was going through my body scan to really pay attention to my whole body. I felt real heavy in my upper back and neck area so I knew I needed extra attention there. This is a good early morning meditation. Have a nice day, EVERYONE!

Waking up

Assessing your body, it’s pain, and your mind, and it’s anxious thoughts right away brings clarity to the start of your day.

Body scan

I learned that I was not aware of how my whole body felt until the scan.

Steam for Sinuses

Ingredients Hot Water (set high medhi) 2 bags of Classic Sleepytime Tea Meditation Before meditation I couldn’t stop coughing During meditation no coughing After meditation a few coughs less aggressive than before

Body scan

Amazing! Healing your body through breathing and being aware

Reflecting

you’re actually able to loosen up much of the tension in your body yourself via just softening and “letting go”. I think I hold so much in a reminder to let go every once in a while is awesome :)

Body scan

Just sit and breath and let your breath go all through your body and concentrate on relaxing you body.

Peace

I learned that my whole body can be a peace within three minutes, and I’m absolutely loving it. I am so relaxed right now, and my stress and thoughts have went away at this time.

Body scan

This was really relaxing. I would love for it to be longer.

Day 5

I learned in this session that your body can reflect your mood in some way.

Not working yet

This didn't work. I couldn't immerse myself completely without getting distracted.

Lesson 2

I learned that focusing on each part of my body can be very relaxing. The awareness of every inch of it leads to te relaxation.

Relaxation

I was able to really soften up my body and release all the tension from the days work.

Body scan

Focusing on each part of the body and breathing can help relax.

El cuerpo

Las diferentes sensaciones que el cuerpo experimenta a lo largo del día a veces las pasamos por alto. Cuando estamos experimentando otras prioridades falsas o que nosotros misnos nos hemos impuesto, es cuando de verdad nos alejamos del presente. Sin duda alguna estar concentrado en el presente hace que todo se sienta más real.

Day 11

This was a great meditation to start the week with. Instead of becoming consumed by all the work-related things to do on a Monday, it was helpful to come back for a few minutes and be present and aware of my body.

1/30/18

I’m still really struggling with being able to keep my mind in the present moment. I was doing well when I first started meditating but the past few weeks have been difficult for me in terms of staying focused on the meditation.

Distracting accent

I’m usually a fan of accents, but, for me, this was like in Father of the Bride when Steve Martin was trying to figure out Martin Short saying “the cake”. 😂

No regimen

There doesn’t need to be a schedule or fixed regimen for meditating or doing the things that are good for me. I should do them when it feels right and go with my own flow

Body Scan

This always effective for me. When I’m feeling anxious or overwhelmed, I bring my focus back to my body or the room around me (because often my body is causing my anxiety). Still working on getting my Monkey brain to be quiet when not being guided.

My body is relax

Body scan made my body more relaxed Calm feel great & feel nice & warm

Mindfulness

It is important to be consistent with mindfulness and control my mind not to wander.

I learned to focus in on my body and be aware of my awareness

I learned that awareness can help to create peace and relive stress

Being fully present in my body

Took me 4 or 5 tries after the speaker finished to count 10 breaths with my mind just being fully present in my body, without getting distracted, but I finally did it. Intending to carry this through for a focused day. Namaste

I learned

I learned that i need to feel it all while breathing, and to be aware of my surroundings

Hars

I found that I was anxious and it was more difficult to spend the time scanning each part of my body. It hard me hard to focus when there’s so much aflutter in my mind. I’m working on shutting off even just for a few minutes.

Morning Meditation

This helped get me started for the day and be happy. It also helped me be aware of my body and my surroundings.

Scan

Focusing on specific parts of your body helps you gain perspective on your current state of being.

I learned that

I need to give my body more compassionate attention; to tune in to my body’s needs.

Grateful

Showing Gratitude is something that we tend to forget. We should learn to appreciate and celebrate the little things in our lives

Body Scan

What a beautiful experience this meditation was. I love the idea of bringing ‘curiosity and kindness’ as I focus attention and ‘soften’ each area. It is calming and enjoyable.

1

i felt anxious the whole time. i couldnt focus. this is making me write more and its making me mad.

3-14

Visualizing breathing through my legs helps me to center on this breathing practice and helps keep my mind calm.

Bringing awareness helps to ground my mind

I like the simplicity of this exercise. I’ll try it when I’m stressed or anxious.

Body scan

Nice quick body scan for the morning or night. Bringing relaxation to the whole body.

Body scan

I feel that now whenever I’m stressed I can think of my safe place and relax. And I understood myself better and what I want in the future by seeing what my happy place was/is and acknowledging myself that, that place is non existent at the moment but it will be in my future happy and safe life.

Sleep

I leaned that I need more sleep to feal better and my breathing helps to focus too.

Anxiety

I learned that I have to be more in moment and feeling the moment
