Breathe And Relax 02

Breathe and relax

Breath in. Breath out. Relax. Simple and effective meditation. It would be a great exercise to use when stressed or anxious during your day!

Think about breath

Breathing in and out just as simple as this. I never thought it will be so easy to relax. But it is. It is doing miracles to my body

Breathing

Deep breathing, something so simple, is so beneficial and relaxing. Don’t forget that.

Breathing goes a long way.

When you take a moment after a long day to just breath and well relax it can really go a long way.

Breathe and Relax

I like the idea of using Breath Awa to relax throughout the day...I just need to remember to use this technique. Old habits are challenging to break!

breathing exercise

It’s a timely reminder how doing simple breathing exercises eases anxiety and stress as we progress through the day. Especially in the mornings.

Breathing

Just telling myself to relax, it eases my breathing, and some tension in my body

2/16/18

This has been one of my favorite meditations. Saying the word “relax” after each inhale and exhale was very helpful to me

I take care my self

Every Day I love my every day routine & being healthy & losing weight & doing my yoga every day & meditating

Very calming

I am really amazed at how saying relax while exhaling is so very calming. This really helped me to be calm right before bed.

Breathing and relaxing

No matter what I should breathe and relax- even when I think I don’t need it or that I think I’m distracted. This is truly for me

Appreciation

I learned that appreciating each breath gives me a sense of calm and relaxation.

Breathing relaxes

It relaxes all parts of the brain and body, I love how helpful this is.

Relax...

Breath can calm and relax, I especially liked being lead to bring my attention to exactly where my tension was, and breathe out focusing on that location. It was a very quick way to release anxiety.

Moon rainbows 🌈

When the moon is bright and positioned in the sky just so, it happens to hit my heart crystal hanging in the window and a gorgeous green/blue/purple light radiates from it. I believe This is how my heart looks when it reaches out to our planet earth (Gaia) and the beauty she holds. When I see the earth 🌏 in space this is how I see her - hang in the dark radiating love. I breathe and relax when I see it - so much beauty.

Anxiety

Anxiety is strong and relentless sometimes. It can be difficult to escape from. Focusing on breathing and relaxing to ease tension.

Meditating right when I wake up is a good way for me to slow down the chatter that usually resumes

Right away, from the previous day. It is an intentional reset.

I feel peaceful.

Concentrating on my breath made me realize there is a lot going on in my mind. I never new a way to release the tension and anxiety.

Tension

I carry tension everywhere! In the crease of my nose, behind my eyes, the soles of my feet and through my toes. My hips, lower back, abs and obliques, around my ears, neck, chest, arms, legs, jaw and through my tongue, my pelvic floor, shoulder blades. There’s so much in my body of which I’m unaware, and taking a moment to observe it, give it love, and let go of the daily stress picked up through my day. Ahhhh, much better

Rest and Relax

I learned that telling myself to relax makes me giggle. I loved the breathing but it was too fast - I was still breathing in as they were saying to breathe out! Once I did my own rhythm it was very good! I feel excellent because giggling reminds me not to take myself so seriously.

2/12/18

Today was a little tiring with the time change and work. Slowly getting better mood has decreased over the weekend. I need to regularly be taking my medicine. Going to bed later than I should’ve today was okay nonetheless. Jim the house manager spoke today at the house meeting it was really good. I relate when he talked about his old ways slipping in. Some of the things he described he went through I’m going through now I just haven’t talked about it like I should be. Tomorrow’s another day though

Alone

I feel less alone and stressed with attention on breathing. I feel my body and it’s alive.

stress relief

i felt okay before this meditation but i learned to breath in and out then relax. if you are looking for something to calm yourself down, i prefer this channel.

I feel a little better

My days have been long and rough And this really gets me through the day

Relaxing

I learned that taking three minutes of my day to do this has helped me emotional.

Chill

Focusing on breathing is calming and relax and assists with sleep

Calm

Breathing in and out can help with stress, and can help me sleep better.

it’s pretty good

it’s night time, last day of thebreak. i was getting anxious about school tomorrow. i feel a lot better now

Day 10

I felt great breathing in and out. I really needed to do this today.

Breathe in. Breathe out.

This is a very good calming technique. Very relaxing and seems good for grounding yourself

Not enough?

Concentrating on my breathing is usually very good for me but this time I needed more. My mind kept drifting and it was hard to bring it back, but the fact that I noticed should be a good thing and therefore is that enough for now?

Breath and relax..

I found this to be a very simple way of coming down..( note. I tried to write a very simple reflection but the app is stressing me out by asking me to write more...seems counter productive)

Distracted to the point of distraction!

The house, and especially my bedroom, are busy tonight, so I lost my attention for this session. Shame. I was hoping to get some help relaxing before bed.

Not for me

Listening to someone just simply tell me to breathe in and out just does not help me relax. I try that on my own all the time. It does not work. I need other techniques ☹️

In Out Relax

I learned that sometimes you just need to breathe in and out to be okay, and to try and fall sleep. But I also found this practice a little bit distracting because when the pauses came my thoughts just kept coming back.

Relax

I learned that breathing through parts of your body that feel tense helps you relax. And using my own name.

Sleep

Breathing helps sleep and your mind might race away but breathing helps keep your mind clear

Breathe

I can get to a relaxed state at the start of my day, then be aware when the stress of the day is triggering me into an unhealthy/ unproductive stress response, stop, breathe, and work my way back to a more positive state, to face the challenges with an open heart. Namaste

Letting Go Easier and Falling Asleep Sensation

I use another meditation app called One Giant Mind and the mantra meditations there are 15 minutes. But this meditation on Aura is only 3 minutes and my mind already feels like what it is at the 13 minute mark in my other meditation app. I suppose simple meditations are better for me where the breath concentration is very relaxed without any counting of seconds or multi tasking in focusing different parts of the body.

Breathing In Out Relax

I guess the three minutes I took to set aside to listen to this meditation was the greatest relaxing aspect. Thanks!

Breathing to relax

I learned that by placing a hand on my stomach or chest and focusing on my breathing allows me to relax. I have never felt my entire body relax the way it did in this mediation.

Focus on the breath is very hard for me.

I will need a different focus to prevent myself from hyperventilating.

Great meditation

Simply listening to the breath and acknowledging it can make all the difference in your day!

In the moment

I learned that I’m okay in the moment. Worrying about tomorrow takes away from right now.

I liked how you tense the muscles then relax them aa it made me notice the difference.

I learned that sometimes during the day, we don’t realize how tense we are. This helped me to distinguish being tense from being relaxed. I will definitely try this out at the office.

Relaxing moment

I felt more relaxed as I followed along with the mediation and started to calm myself enough to try to sleep. The mediation has helped me center myself more and relax more as I move through the day.

Relax

I have to relax to become strong and flex again. There can’t be one without the other. Namaste

Relax

I still not feel relax taking nice slow deep breath letting my body feel comfortable and relax and rest . Have a nice day. Stay blessed

Something new

I learned that meditating is actually crazy helpful. It relaxed me, made me forget ab everything else. I focused on me, on relaxing me, on just feeling in general.

Very relaxing

Took a nice little nap afterwards:) I especially like the short pause between the inbreath and the outbreath. Gets me in the right rhythm.

I felt very calm

I learned that you always need to give yourself time. To breath, to relax, to settle down. Never over work yourself.

1st session

It was difficult to tell myself the compassionate things and picture myself in the space i needed to be. I was kind of unfocused.

i feel that this session didn’t talk a lot and that made me anxious of how much time was left.

the more talking there is in a session the less anxious i feel. but it isn’t for everybody. this still helped.

At first I felt myself tensing - it can be difficult to just let go and relax into my body

I could feel myself holding my breath however it took less than three minutes before I was relaxing and breathing naturally again.

Appreciation

I remembered what it is like to appreciate the little things

I felt that her guidance with breathing was a little quick. I fell out of sync and it distracted me

I learned that I don’t need to follow the breathing guidance but I prefer to be in sync with it

Helping

I learned that i can throw my sttees in life away and make a great day through meditation

Relax, me

We know that one of the most important “ingredients” in a successful relationship is communication. And the best relationship you can have is your relationship to yourself. So it’s nice that I can communicate to myself and remind me to relax and take things slowly and easily. Relax, me, relax. It can be surprising how you listen to you.

no safe place

I learned that I don't have a safe place, not even in my imagination. I want to find it.

breathing

i felt totally comfortable and learned that breathing has a lot to do with relaxation.

Pretty good first tey

I think that saying “relax” to myself really works because it almost forces me to relax.

For Brady

I learned a great one for Brady to do when he gets upset. He really could do this anywhere. Breathe in, out and relax

Closing my eyes

Focusing my mind and body is much easier when I close my eyes. I can identify where I have the most tension and slowly release the tension when I exhale.

I learnt that our mood fluctuations...

Change up to down then down to up. Depending if your pacifying it or just letting it govern you life. So it’s self explanatory. And each showed be able to tell who they are.

My Feelings Are Okay

I thought I knew this, but hearing it out loud let it sink in. My feelings are okay to have.

Calm yourself

Understanding what it feels like and what it takes to be relaxed, so I can get back there mid day when I need it. Namaste

Relaxing my stress

Breathing in, breathing out and relax, it did help to calm down stress that I wasn't even aware that I had until I sat down to do this 3 minute meditation. Since I suffer from anxiety in general, it's always a good reminder for me to breathe. However when I'm super stressed and I'm breathing it really doesn't call me down very much.

Breathe and Relax

I initially had slight difficulty in accepting the feeling of anxiety but soon realised fighting it was not the answer.

Very Helpful

I was on the verge of a panic attack and this stopped it. That’s pretty miraculous. It really helped saying the words inside my head. It kept my mind from wandering.

Couldn’t sleep

When it asked how I was feeling, I clicked can’t sleep, she ruined my sleepiness by saying “Now open you eyes, and continue out your day. Thank you for taking a break with Aura.” Now it’s. 2am and I’m not sleepy😂😬

Well every time i click on cant sleep it shows stuff like meditation but it never helps me sleep

So over all im kind of disappointed i thought it would help me ho to sleep but i didnt. It only helped twice.

spiralling

A swaying rope to reach out for when your emotionally falling.

Relaxing Spot

I can escape, but there is nothing to escape from, just my brain harassing me. I can fall into a peaceful place where I don’t torture myself with what I need to do, but live in the moment.

Calming down

I felt my heart beat and my breathing affecting the posture and belly. I learned to control my breathing.

Best Session Yet

I felt that this was the most effective session I’ve completed thus far. Even though my mind tended to drift, I was able to focus back on my breathing.

Distracted

I tried doing a session in a busy room using some headphones. I couldn’t concentrate at 😞

Slowing down

I felt connected to my breath and rooted in my body. I felt able to slow down and be still.

Really effective!

That's a simple method to relax but yet so efficient! Need to keep that one in mind when feeling stressed. Thanks!

simple but effective

I loved it! This is perfect when you are so tired and just want to take your mind out without so many effort.

breathing to relax

i found that by focusing on my breath at first it felt more unnatural. it took 1/2 meditation to stop overthinking.

On edge

I’m in a weird limbo today between being ok, but having familiar feelings of anxiety. This helped remind me how to center myself personally...especially using my name, that helped bring me there mentally 👍🏻

stressed

after this is definitely did not feel as anxious but it was not relaxing enough to help with my stress

Present moment

I learnt to live in the present moment and to not worry about the past and future

Relaxed!

Had a hard day today and this meditation helped me more than I thought it would! I’m very grateful for this meditation.

Calm

I learned that even in the busiest of times, there is always calm.

Breathe and Relax

Concentrating on your breath while simultaneously saying to yourself the word relax gives your body a profound sense of calmness. By the end of the meditation, your body is completely relaxed and tingling with sensations. Namaste. 🙏🏻❤️

Simple and effective

I would have preferred the teacher to say”breathe in,breathe out,relax “ at a slower pace, but otherwise it was a very good, quick relaxation session.

Do nothing

It felt nice to just lay and not do anything. I can feel a pain in my heel but the rest of my is relaxed laying down

Mindfulness

My thoughts may always wonder. But I can always focus on my breath to center my self. I felt myself being lighter and happier as I breathed out and told my self relax with my breath. I was feeling lighter with each breath. I was feeling love for myself with each breath.

Very Relaxing 😴

Jiva’s soothing voice guides you into a relaxing state by saying to yourself on the inhale “calm” and on the out breath “relax”. Saying this while engaging in a diaphragmatic breathing technique helped my body and mind to relax and just melt into the couch. This was very relaxing.😴 Just what I needed from being on the go all day.

Relax

A very basic but powerful exercise about relaxation and being mindful. Sometimes it's the simple methods which often have the greatest benefits

And all angst is released...

This is great for releasing anxiety and slowing the mind down. It’s simple and effective—by focusing on the normal rhythm of breath, a reprieve is created, releasing anxious thoughts and tension in the body to bring a state of relaxation.

Breathe and relax

Reminding myself to relax with the out breath is immensely helpful since I have noticed I tend to hold onto my stress throughout the day. I will keep coming back to this meditation to get my more constant reminders to let go.

Relaxing

I felt at peace ❤ learning to breathe and relax is a tough one for me. Being able to do so put me at such peace.

I felt relaxed!

I learned that focusing on the breath helps regulate and soothe me.

Calmness in Breathing

I learned conscience breathing brings about a sense of clam and serenity🦋

June 6th - Saturday

I find it interesting just how much more relaxed my body is on the out-breath.

Airways

Feeling the flow of air through out my body was a wonderful release of tension that remained on my mind~~ I was able to disconnect from that tension with the breathing exercise ~~ thank you 😑

calmness

this meditation was very effective, and for anyone in need of something quick and easy to calm down, i would highly recommend! focusing on breath is really important especially when wanting to feel relaxed :))

Calming...

Very simple but effective technique! Breathing in “Calm...” Breathing out “Relax...” My mind calmed down enough for me to observe each thought picture - like slowing down a motion picture projector enough to see each individual frame. Very cool thinking in slow motion. Then I watched each thought picture slowly drift away as I exhaled and relaxed my mental grip on it... Very surreal experience ... by the end I felt completely Calm & Relaxed so ... Mission Accomplished! Thanks Jiva for this cool tool!! ❤️😎🍀

Relax

I had a hard time concentrating at the start. This made me center myself and start to relax .

Breathe in, breathe out, relax

This was a good rhythm I could get into inside my head to stay focused.

Breathe and relax

I loved this and felt like this could really help me relax and go to sleep

getting over heart break

this feeling won’t last forever it’s a learning experience

Relaxing past the exhale

This showed me there can be an even greater relaxation AFTER the exhale, if I just slow down and take a pause. Namaste

Calming & Relaxing

Going through marital issues this has helped me in many ways!!!

relax

breathing out while also repeating the word “relax” really does relax the body. not only did it relax my body, but i also felt a lot calmer in the mind :)

Painful night

I went someone to a place where things went the way I wanted. Wishful thinking that was real like a vivid conscious dream. I could hear the specific sounds so loudly and could see the finer details clearly.

I learnt breathing technique.

I got a bit distracted in the middle. I liked how Relax was added in, but not my name.

Breathing technique

I learned the breathing technique. Adding in Relax was good.

Breathe

I felt the stress leave my body with each breath. A hand my chest helped me focus.

A lovely way to calm the mind

It helped to calm my mind before leaving the house. I often get anxious, especially when i’m not feeling too good. Helped to centre me

relax

just repeating “relax jess” over and over while taking some deep breaths really helped to calm my body down after a long day

Stressful day

I allowed others to control my emotions. I was anxious and paranoid for no reason whatsoever.

Morning

Feels good to get back to starting my day iut slowly and calmly

Breathe

I really enjoyed this breathing exercise. Thank you so very much for bringing another way to let go

Distraction

To me it would be better not to bring up the distractions and concentrate on your voice and he positive statements

Breathe

I really loved this meditation. Such a simple process but so effective
