Calm and Rest

Emotions of anger..

I’ve learned that whenever I feel angry, I need to ask myself why I feel angered. If I am angered by what someone said why do I feel that way? I then consciously shift my mindset to one of love for me and then share that love with the person who “I allowed” to cause me to feel that way.

Permissions

I️ learned that sometimes we must tell our bodies what to do. We have to train it to get out of the stressful routines we have made ourselves used to

Enjoyed

I will be utilizing this meditation again. The soft, relaxed nature of the guide’s voice kept me in the moment.

Stub

The whole good thing has been uprooted and taken away thank Heaven

Relaxing Permission

Allowing my body to relax, focusing on specific areas and giving it permission to relax worked really well for me. This could be quite valuable on busy or stressful days.

I learned that

Thinking less and feeling more is the way to go being stressed over the little things it’s too hard so I quit this app is helping

Calm and rest

Getting my body ready to calm down and prepare for sleep has never been easier with the help of meditation. Thank you.

Calm and rest

A much needed rest and awareness of a self assuring relaxation technique that is freeing of boundaries.

🌻So🌼Calm🌻

This medication was so nice. It was Calming. I was so relaxed that I drifted away. Then it was over So fast I could believe the time went so fast. I really enjoyed it🌻🌼🌻

Trying

I was trying to relax with the meditation even though my dog decided to go crazy barking at the mailman. It gave me an opportunity to not react and push through. I yelled at her to stop barking after the meditation so I know I have a ways to go....

A little Calm & Rest

This was a interesting session telling my body how to feel. I wish it would have lasted longer. I was just starting to relax when it ended. It did make me feel relaxed & calm but I will need to try another meditation 🧘‍♂️ session to completely unwind and sleep 🌙

Cyndee,

I agree that was too short. Ended when one just relaxed. I did like the voice but would have liked a bit of music at the end. Why in the world while I’m relaxed and typing would a new flash pop up?

Calm and Rest

I can be mindful even with distractions and little time, and in those moments it is even more important to find calmness and relaxation.

Calmness

I did enjoy this, however I would have liked the music at the end to know when I was fully done. I liked how my body was beginning to relax but it could have gone a bit longer

I agree-the music is always nice to hear

I learned that I can give myself the allowance to relax, have steady and calming breath, and to rest. Missed the music as it signals the beginning and ending of the meditation in a welcoming way. And not sure why it seemed shorter...! But still a great 3 mins.

Calming breath before bedtime

A quick, simple meditation to relax before a night’s sleep.

Calm

Woke up feeling anxious. I have to let my body know it can be calm and it will be calm. Take deep breathes

My self

My body is a temple and I must respect it by focusing on it

Day 3

I don’t know if it’s the meditation or just a placebo effect but I am starting to feel better. I hope it continues.

Stress

I learned how to let go , and that i have to take a moment to collect and gather my mind and strength

mind/body

i learned that there is great significance in having a strong connection between the mind and body. it is so much easier to relax and feel in control.

Stress

I learned that peace is from within.....being stressed is related to what you are going through and how you react to certain things

Relax Mind and Body

It’s important to slow down my mind chatter and give myself permission to let go. It is ok to take time to relax.

Relax

I was a stressful day, with a lot of anxiety. It help me to relax and prepare to sleep

Clam and rest

Learning to find a tactic to relieve our worries can help us in a mentally, physically, and emotional way to cope with letting the stress out. Finding our inner peace will provide a positive, calming way to carrying on with the day.

Self

Taking care of yourself is of utmost importance. Eating properly, yoga, meditation and exercise consistently will yield positive results.

Mindfulness

After this meditation, my body felt calm and at peace. I felt whole.

Relaxed

I feel relaxed and calm, like I’m in control of my mind. I even feel tired.

Calm

I learned that is important to be calm and if I take just a couple of minutes to breathe, I can achieve that calm

Calm

I learned that i need to create time for myself to relax. To focus on my breathing and let go of the tension throughout my body

Resting at work

I learned that I need to consistently take 3-7 mins out of my work day to rest my mind and release tension from my body to be a more work more efficiently.

I noticed

I was actually starting to spiral into one of my moods and I did this and I feel much more centered and calm. Except in the audio I could hear something in their background like a weed whacker or something

Time

There is always time...time to reflect. Time to wonder. Time to breath. Time to relax. Yet one thing everyone needs more of is love and...time...

Success!

Before this meditation, I had tried another meditation to relax the tension and pain in my neck - with no success - maybe due to a sitting posture and a tightening of the muscles. This relaxing meditation was successful with helping to relieve the tension in my neck & shoulder. This time I laying flat on my back, legs straight out, arms resting by my side and my spine level. It relieved 98% of my neck pain & tension. I will give it one more try to release the other 2% I have left. Thank you.

I felt that it was hard to catch my breath at certain moments

I learned that it is challenging to focus your mind on the very moment. But that it can be done with practice

First aura

I can sit still for a while— even if it’s three minutes. I can practice mindfulness

Healing

I suffer from chronic pain, and after more than a dozen surgeries I live every day at a minimum of 6 out of 10 pain. Ever since I have started meditating, working with crystals, and really working on mindfulness of my body and connection to the universe around me, I find it easier to focus my energy and attention away from the pain when needed. Also, there are times I need to meditate and let my body feel exactly how it feels, so I can better understand how my body and mind can holistically respond to my intentions and relax, pulling my attention to simply breathing helps me to stay calm and work through the pain much more easily.

Day 1

Anthony woke me up this morning. His heavy breathing keeps me awake, but I think if that happens again I’ll come to Aura to calm me back down. Maybe a good idea? idk

Peaceful

I was feeling very stirred up and conflicted, I was able to steady my breathing, center myself and focus my energy. I’m feeling light and calm.

Relaxing

I am not allowing myself to relax when I have a moment. I am too worried about how I don’t have a lot of time and what I need to get down. It steals the relaxation from the small moments I do have to take a breath.

Second session

I learned that I focus on too many things at once. I need to allow my mind to allow my body to relax in many moments. I can do this by focusing on what matters and taking calm deep breaths.

Permission to rest

I felt tension come out of my shoulders which I desperately needed. I appreciated the gift of rest this meditation provided.

Night 3

I noticed that having a short phrase to repeat helped with keeping my mind focused on the thought instead of having thoughts racing consistently.

Breathe

3min is all it take to reboot. Taking a few minutes to focus on my breathing and body helped me relax and recharge.

Relaxing

The voice was very hypnotic and I found it zoned me in immediately to where I was being directed. Nice session.

Relax

I almost fell asleep while meditating to this- not because I was bored, but because of how relaxed my body became. 😊

I calmed down

I feel calmer and i learned how to feel calmer. I learned how to ignore the world around me and stay calm

First time

It calmed me down, which allowed me to relax and let reality kick in. All my stress of the day is gone

First time

I felt anxious at first then after listening to the audio I relaxed still kinda anxious but those three minutes went by fast I am going to try seven minutes because I’m still a little bit anxious

i feel like i need more sleep.!!!! nnnnndjjdjfjdjsjkskdkkfmcmcksmsms

i need more sleep i know i dodhebennfnxxndsnerngksskwmaammzmx

breathe

breathing is effective and to stay calm and cool use this when needed to relax and calm anxiety

I felt relieved

This is really good for stress and it helps me calm down and just be relaxed

Morning

I felt that today may not be as hard as I think it will. I think that I can handle all of the work today and I will be able to catch up on my missed assignments and papers.

Rest

I worry about allowing myself to relax and being able to get rest, but this is counterintuitive and means I’m unable to switch off. Using repetitions of allowing myself to rest really helped.

I worry about interacting with people with is so silly. I put extreme weight on things that are smal

You must live in the moment and focus on now. Think about the things happening right now on not on 10 minutes in the future.

This kinda feels like hypnosis

But it really works, like I feel calm. Everything is slowed and less stressful. I feel like I can do things now easily

I was calm and rested

Being calm and rested is very calming and resting. I enjoyed being calm because it gave me a nice moment to rest.

Instant Relief from Anxiety

As soon as I relaxed my body slowly, I felt where I was tense and realized, “oh, I was really wound up.” And once I gave myself permission to relax and said there was time to relax, I instantly let go of whatever remaining tension there was in my mind and my body and I could’ve cried I was so relieved to be rid of that weight, even if it wasn’t for long.

relaxing

its nice when my brain isn’t corrupted with all the things i have to do/grades i need to keep up.

Loved this session

I learned that I can be so calm in only 3 minutes and now I am so relaxed and I love this session

Super stressed

I control my body and my heart and mind and can be at peace

Today 3/12/18

I learned that communication is key. And being able to listen not to just have a response is very important. I have to learn how to listen to understand where that individual is coming from and trying to see their point of view.

Stress

I feel relaxed and I have to remind myself to relax and take a break when I am stressed

Stress

You always need a time to relax and give your mind time to think and not over think.

First Day

I have mindfulness as a class in school but I feel so relaxed right away and less stress and tension going through my body

A bit distracted by noise in my appartment, my mirror and was a bit uncomfortable with my position

It’s ok to take time to relax. Taking time for myself is only beneficial for me and my family

I Felt Calm

I learned that after dreaming all night and waking up to stress it’s a good time to relax.

Reflection

I noticed that it really helped me de-stress in that moment. I might have to invest in longer meditations in order to stay that way though.

Tired

Relaxations make you feel sleepy and allows you to clear your mind when you are stressed

Anxiety

This was not enough to help me. .I wish it were longer longer.

Need Relaxations Music

It’ll be great if each of every session has additional calming music, thank you

Day one

Just breathing deeply can release tension and soothe anxiety.

Helpful

I started off feeling very jittery, and honestly super annoyed with everything going on. This helped me let go for the rest of my night. I focused on my breathing and it sort of pushed out the negative feelings with each breath.

Calm

I learned that meditation can help me with stress and anxiety. I plan to use it more often

Restless

I realized I need to do a lot before I let myself relax or I will never relax

Less anxiety

I noticed that I wasn’t as shaky and as anxious as I was before.

Less anxious

I felt like I had rays flowing through my body. I can feel myself relax for that quick moment and I was able to breathe instead of be anxious

Progressive muscle relaxation

Anxious

I felt myself slowly relaxing more and more overtime and letting all the negativity release from my body

Anxiety

Anxiety

Calm and Rest

Meditation can be very helpful, today i was feeling tense and very anxious, but slightly nervous. I’m not sure why, but this exercise was amazing and helped me so much! I feel calm and natural.

I feel more relaxed

As a teenager in highschool with very strict parents with high expectations, I tend to get anxious and stressed very easily. But this one session has helped to relax my body and mind. Her voice was incredibly soothing and nurturing and it was very peaceful.

Calm

I noticed that when I take the time to relax after a day of stress and worrying about school the next day, it feels amazing and it doesn’t take up to much time, you just let everything go and when you feel okay let everything come back slowly.

Anxious and Stressed

I was feeling very anxious and stressed with myself but this helped me to relax and try to let go of those feelings.

Calm and Rest

I learned that I am able to relax even if it is for a couple of minutes.

Anxious

I noticed that I felt extremely calm and my racing thoughts went away quickly

I felt that I feel relaxed. And that I finally realized to give some time to my own feelings.

I learned that giving time, attention and happiness to myself is very opening feeling.

First time

I started the session in the middle of a pretty fair amount of anxiety to the point where I could feel it making my heart ache in my chest. I noticed as I was breathing and being aware of my body and giving restful thoughts, this aching slowly decreased

How i feel

I feel good about myslef and really relaxed and not really worried to much about other stuff i have in my life

Relaxing

I felt calm and relaxed just by focusing my breathing. A good exercise to do right before bed.

March 19th

I felt relaxed just through the focus of my win breathing; it was absolutely amazing.

Stressed and anxious

I have my high school finals rn and I haven’t stressed anything this much before! Luckily this meditation program gave me couple of minutes when I was able to relax a bit.

Session three

No sleep all night, and anxiety in the morning with some episodes. They are becoming less and less but I notice it always towards the end of the month more. Did my Aura time earlier, and I felt a change almost immediately. Like I know what to do for myself now when I feel this way. It’s nice to know I can open my phone and have emotional relief in three minutes. But my goal ultimately is to be able to soothe myself... myself.

I was in a car accident a few months ago and I couldn't ever relax but this was so helpful

I was happy I feel as though I can do anything I'm so relaxed and calm.

Entry 1 March 20,2018

This is my first session, I am trying to be more mindful in my day to day life. Maybe this will help. I tried this first session at work and with the pandemonium of a school environment it didn’t work as well. Looking forward to trying this in the morning before school. :)

20/3/18

my first meditation

I felt a bit less tense and relaxed. I did not want to open my eyes. I liked the sound of her voices- it made my voice in my end mute for the those three minutes.

First quick meditation

I learned that it’s critical that I practice my meditation when I’m at my best, so that I am training myself if I get a panic attack! I love how calm I felt because my body is constructed under some small or moderate amount of stress. I feel like I could fall asleep because I was that calm.

Very helpful this morning

just what I needed today. Apparently that’s not enough words for this app so I have to write more before it will let me hit submit so here we are. Hope that was super motivational.

Anxious and I need to relax bc it will help my body do what it needs to do

Relaxing helps your body all over and it helps you relax and it helps you to do what natural things your body wants.

I felt most of my tension and stress in my chest, neck and shoulders.

Improving my posture while breathing made it easier to relax my tense muscles.

❤️❤️❤️

i love guided meditations and this one tops my chart of favs

Anxiety

I learned that I can control things, and that there are somethings I can’t control that I shouldn’t stressed over. I felt very relaxed and that I deserve to be free of worry and doubt.

I felt relaxed during this mindful moment.

I am continuing to learn about the importance of breathing which I love

It’s raining today

Even when I feel like my to-do list never gets completed I can always make time for myself. This helped ease my migraine a tiny bit. Still trying to get a hang of breathing.

Feeling calmer

I was stressed about the test tomorrow and I was freaking out. After this session, I’ve calmed down and allowed my body to relax, I feel much more loose now.

2 tests

I have two important tests tomorrow that I’m freaking out about. This was a nice break. Going to nap until 11:30 because I drank a little and then back to studying and registering for classes 🙃

Calm

I felt calmer. I noticed some of my physical symptoms getting better and the deep breaths felt great but I still had a hard time controlling my thoughts.

Staying calm clears the mind. Helps ease my anxiety and brings out the positive

I wish the session was longer. Now I am stressed because they say my reflection is too short and I need to come up with smth I didn’t learn.

The sounds and motions beneath

Feeling very good that’s I can control the moments of my inner body through me breath and feel all noises movement and different avenues to my subconscious

Calming the mind

I can relax my body but how do I calm my mind? Recognize a thought, don’t judge it, and let it go.

day 3:

taking the time to appreciate what you have and how fortunate you are makes me so relaxed and in the best mood possible :)

After going through this session I found that I was very relaxed and calm

I learned that because these sessions are set up right before I plan to go to sleep, it’s been helping me calm down from my stressful day and I get to sleep quicker as well as stay asleep for the full 7 hours.

Today

it was really hard for me to relax, especially with this migraine but this help!

I am constantly having to do something for my husband or child on top of finishing my degree. I have a lot of stress and my daughter had this app, so I decided to try it too. It does help if I can work in the 3 minutes each day.

Know That You Can Sleep

I learned that you need to acknowledge that you can sleep and take deep breaths if you can’t sleep.

Mindfulness

I learned that it’s okay to relax my body and mind. We live in a busy world that insists we push our mental, physical, and social capacity. It is no wonder there are so many individuals who struggle with slowing down and taking the time to rest.

Calm and relaxed

During times of anxiety we often times find ourselves not able to relax our thoughts and focus. Take a deep breathe and let the body focus its attention to what you are doing, don’t let anxiety get the best of you. You will get it done, you will come out okay in the end, it will be okay.

My meditation results

I did this session right after I saw a girl I used to be friends with post a pic of me&talk bad about me. I was and still am very anxious and mad I want to cry. This did not help me and it usually does.

Sleeping issues

I learned that trying to relax my body is the best thing I could do to try and sleep

Rough morning

I felt my tension and anxiety slowly go down and slip away once I started my session. My day will be a lot more calm and start better

My eyes couldn’t stop twitching at first but once it was over I had a hard time adjusting to light.

My eyes are so sensitive I would like to try to heal them naturally. I have to get my hands on Dr. Jacob Libermans techniques this spring- once we actually have some sun for me to work with! It’s a sunny day today maybe I can try to practice some quick stuff until I get the full version.

Relax

A bit of my stresses today were released. I am a very negative person. I always jump into negative conclusions when something happens. I get easily irritated by people. And sometimes, that makes me feel anxious. Because I’m aware that I am that kind of person but sometimes I can’t control it.

I felt

I learned this is going to take sometime honestly I didn’t feel differently... maybe it’s just because it’s day one lets see if it will be work for the next few weeks.

I learned

I learned that you really have to listen to let these videos speak to you

I noticed

I noticed that my back felt a little more tense than usual. Maybe I should do some stretching tonight.

Second time

I didn’t notice anything. I personally didn’t like this one because of how there wasn’t much to it and how u were jut laying there while she rambled on

Clam

I’ve been super anxious about a presentation coming up and this helped me relax and feel comfortable to sleep

Sleep

I wish the sessions were longer. Maybe 10 minutes that’s would be great

sleep

i wish that the sessions were longer than the given time period

Too fast

There is no time to practice what she is asking because she gives one new instruction while you are still doing the previous one. Maybe 3 minutes are simply not enough

Calm

The instructions about my neck and shoulders was helpful since I carry my stress in those locations. Unfortunately the rest was rushed and therefore less effective.

First day

I felt better than before ,calmer... it's not a magic spell I know. It's gonna take to make me feel like i used to feel when i was happy. But it's quiet a good progress

Calm and rest

It’s very difficult to concentrate on my breathe without my mind straying from everything to do today. Struggling but comfortable.

Lyft Driver

I’ve been looking for something to do in between rides and found this app. This was my first session and I’m feeling great. You never know who might hop into your car, what day they are having or what they are going through. But I do know I am at peace and serenity and would love to continue my day with tranquil comfort.

Calm

I felt calm and comfortable during this. It really helped release my stress and anxiety.

Calming

I found this calming, my mind drifted to things I have to do, but focusing on breathing helped.

Calming

I felt myself relieve some of the tension from the stress of school, and allowed myself to be vulnerable.

Sleepy

It was calming enough to make me more tired than usual, which is great since im never fully sleeping anymore, and frankly i need all the rest i can get.

4/3/18

10:46 PM- I couldn’t sleep but after the session I began feeling tired

Felt

I felt calmer, more relaxed. Felt my body relax as I breathed in and out.

Allow my body to rest

I learned I can choose to control my anxious thoughts by telling myself what is happening. My breath is steady and relaxed.

Relaxed and slightly uncomfortable.

I not use to the words of organs being related to meditation.

Oh Ella

I tried to do these while Ella was repeatedly saying my name and repeating my name over and over for no reason at all...I had already addressed her and she kept repeating my name and asking for my attention after I had already told her to play and give me a minute. I was stressed and the louder she got, the more stressed I got. I managed to continue and try to focus on my breath and concentrating although it was hard.

I felt open, but I didn’t feel overwhelmed. I felt darkness.. but it was more of a comfort not fear.

I learnt that I can take myself out of situations that make me uncomfortable and put myself in my own space of peace...

Realx

I learned that I just need to take some time out of my day to relax and breath

04/04/2018

I need to take these moments through out day when I feel the tightness in my shoulders, neck and base of my skull.

Calm and Rest

I found that telling myself that I was taking a few moments to rest actually did make me feel a bit rejuvenated. What a cool trick that by just taking a few minutes of time to deliberately stop your brain and give it a rest, you really do feel refreshed and can keep moving forward.

Relaxing

I learned that breathing deeply and telling myself I can relax gemela me relax

relax

i currently can’t sleep, so by listening to myself say to relax, it made me relax. now i’m going to go to bed. xx

I cant seem to sit still. By the time i was getting comfortable and less fidgety, it was almost over

Stillness

I can’t stay still without even realizing I move my foot and I find it hard to relax

Taking a break

I learn that it’s okay to take a breather and we all need them.

Relaxed

I felt so relaxed with her saying simple things over and over blessed

Indifferent

I learned that I need to take more deep breaths and slow down

Melissa

I learned i need to take slow deep breathes and remind myself its ok

First class

The teacher gave helpful phrases to think about to focus my busy mind

Meditatiln

After trying it out I no longer feel tired. I no longer feel like my eyes have bricks on them and I am ready to continue my day.

Day 1

It was tough to focus on the meditation- this was my first time doing one and it was hard to devote 100% of my attention to it. I did feel slightly more relieved/ calm afterwards though.

First one

I felt relaxed and was pleasantly surprised will continue to focus on my breathing

I felt really relaxed and I noticed that I cant breath steadily which is kinda annoying

I learned that I need to focus more on my breathing and do this more often because I have a feeling that it could help

Definitely tough to stay focused

Keep focusing on my breaths helps so will keep trying and trying and trying

Sleep

I should have done this in bed so I didn’t lose the calm by having to get up and turn off lights, etc

Sleep Time

Only breathing can even help the body relax better. I opened my eyes and wanted to shut them back immediately and just float away in peace.

I felt like i needed to instantly go back to bed after this.

I learned that the breathing does help your body relax and just not having any tension can calm your body as well.

relax

it’s helpful to relax, especially before bed. being in a peaceful state of mind is wonderful

How I felt

I learned that I just need to relax and I can allow my body to relax.

Calm

I learned I just need to be more relaxed and calm. This really helped me big time

Me

I love that the focus is on me controlling my relaxation. It gave me weight.

Relaxed

I learned that by being relaxed, I can feel my body as calm as it would be on a sunny day, in peace without any worries.

Trying

I still felt a bit anxious and couldnt give up my tension as much as i hoped to. But im optimistic in progress if i continue to use this excersises.

:)

i noticed how my body had a calm weight to it. i felt good and i calmed down a bit

Okay but confused

I was all good at first and calm and relaxed but then she said open my eyes at the end and I ended waking up when I opened my eyes. Next time I think it will be better just a trial and error for the first run!

Overwhelmed

I have so much tension and need a couple of moments to just breath I’m so stressed and just need to relax

Day 4

I learned that doing this I’m much more clam then I was before and now I’m just going to sleep

1st meditation

I am still trying to relax and learn what to do but I feel it was not long enough for me to really let go and relax. Or maybe I’m just doing it wrong....

First meditation

I feel like I was still unable to relax. It was not enough time for me to wind down and relax. Or maybe I was just doing it wrong...

Okay

I was already pretty calm already I just couldn’t go to sleep this was kinda quick also but I’m good now so yeah

Time

Good made me sleepy but should of gone on for longer then it would have gotten me sleep

I’m not sure

I feel like I relaxed a little but still have the same mood I’m trying to avoid...

Unwinding

Paying attention to breathing and repeating phrases to encourage relaxation helped me to unwind a little more. I’ve had a very chill day and I’m grateful for that. 🌜

I’m not sure

I feel slightly sleepy more that before but I need to be more relaxed 😊

Confused

At the end it told me to open my eyes but I was trying to fall asleep.

What I felt during my meditation

I felt like weight was lifted off of my shoulders and I was growing up into the sky and my roots lifters from the ground and I was flying.

how i felt...

i felt like my body was is water and i was just floating, it made me feel very relaxed.

Calm

It feels like you have traveled to a place of calmness and it feels good

I noticed that my whole body can become still and completely relaxed.

I learned that just sittin still and focusing on breathing can be really good.

I felt really light, almost half awake half asleep. I felt tingles in the back of my neck.

Taking lingering breaths help with relaxation If I want it to work, I have to believe it will.

Sleep

I need to loosen and breath to become comfortable in my environment

Clear and at peace

I felt really at peace. Clear headed. I don’t feel tense but instead I feel very peaceful.

How I feel

I feel less anxious but the anxiety is still there. This has helped me clear my mins a bit more. I might be able to actually sleep now with my anxiety calming down

How I feel

I have been dealing with a lot of stress that has caused me to have a lot of anxiety recently. I have been tired, exhausted, and drained. It’s helpful to take mindful moments to myself to relieve that anxiety and stress. Definitely need to start taking more mindful moments!

Calm

I feel as nothing is wrong with the world and there no more pain or suffering just peace.

Connected

I feel connected with myself and more relaxed... it was great for noticing that much of my stress right now is just overthinking... thank you!!

This helped a lot.

I learned more about my body and how to keep myself calm when I’m anxious.

I feel empowered. I can do this. Wake up early everyday, be more loving and forgiving.

I learned that I am stronger than I thought and that I can sleep without stress and bad thoughts.

Day 3:

i’m beginning to feel more and more relaxed everyday. i’m finding it easier to sleep, focus, and stay calm.

I felt

I couldn’t tell my own body to relax, I felt peace but I also felt nervous when I closed my eyes, I needed to open them.

Day 2

I felt a lot more relaxed today, I was able to listen to the meditation and felt my body relaxing as she mentioned my body parts.

Day 2

I felt a lot more relaxed then the first day. This really helped me.

Stress

I learned that by taking a few minutes to myself, I can allow myself to relax and find some inner peace.

I feel steady.

I feel steady; it's not an actual feeling but the only way to describe it is steady. I feel calm and my eyes are allowing themselves to close now.

I am depressed and stressed.

I learnt that focusing in my breathing helps with relaxation.

Calm and Rest- 4/10

I am still finding it difficult to detach myself from everything that it going on around me while meditating however I think that this session has helped me to try and accomplish that. I feel very relaxed I will try to keep that way throughout the day!

Warmth

I could feel the energy from the earth being magnetically absorbed into my body.

April 10th

I learned that I can be stressed even when I don’t have reason to be

Day One

Wow, I️ was holding far more tension in the base of my neck and skull than I’d realized.

3/7

I had a hard time to relax and kept finding something in my position to feel restless about

The more you reassure yourself that it will all pass, it’s just a bad time, a moment that shall be forgotten because the things around are what create the mess the anxiety and the worry, so surround yourself with calmness, will and positivity it will all soon pass

First meditation

I learned that you have to except what your body is feeling even if you hate it.

Would not suggest

This was awful it did not calm me down that much and in the the end she told me to get up basically

I can’t focus and this didn’t help me at all

You just have to relax and close your eyes and let all your thoughts out

I feel relaxed after taking deep breaths with my whole body. I enjoyed the tone of her voice.

It helps to breath with your whole body. I felt every inch of my body rise, then relax.

Stressed

I learned that I can’t sleep till I’m not sleepy no matter what I try

Tightly Wound

I’ve been tightly wound all day because a lot is going on and life is constantly changing. Today I was reminded though just how much setting aside time for yourself for exercise, personal care, and meditation can really help a girl. I feel refreshed.

Day 4

This helped quite a bit with getting to sleep my body feels more quiet and restful than before.

Day 2

Her voice is so soothing! I listen to this and my body feels so relaxed and heavy. It really works for me!

Calm

I enjoyed her voice and the white noise behind it. Very calming and relaxing.

Calm

A very basic meditation but still helps me relax. The guider's voice was enjoyable so much so that I will return to her sessions.

Calm

A very basic meditation but still helps me relax. The guider's voice was enjoyable so much so that I will return to her sessions.

getting there

i have so much tension on my shoulders it's hard to breathe too my jaw feels tight so maybe i have to work on that

Grateful

I learned that if I am grateful for the wonderful things in my life I feel infinitely better.

Calm

This really helped me to free my mind from the other worries of the world.

My choice

This showed me that I control my body and that I can stop my worries of life at any moment of my choice

Calm and Rest

I learned that even though my body is awake I can easily bring my stress level down by breathing slowly. 😁

My knees were locking up and hurting. Distracted me

Not to try and fix them while meditating. Focus on the present and put aside worries.

Day 7

Today I felt more in control of my breathing then I had when I started. During the days I am more aware of when I am feeling stressed and I feel like I am getting emotionally stronger just from the first week.

Day 1

Allowing my body to relax seemed strange at first but helped me understand that I am in control

I have learned a lot this week

I have learned that I needed this app more than I thought lol

First meditation

I need to breathe a little bit more steady. My breath was staggered and cut up. Focusing too much on what the speaker was saying.

Perfect

My body is relaxed My breath is calm and steady I can rest now. Very nice. Namaste Lauren. 🌷

sleep

i noticed that my body felt relaxed & i was starting to feel sleepy

Weird

Letting my body relax can go both ways. Good or bad. It depends because sometimes I get anxious and resist letting calming things help. It just gets me more upset.

First session

Wish it was longer then the 3 minutes. My body fights me... it’s hard for me to let go n relax fully.

First meditation

I learned that deep slow breathing helps me relax. I learnt that it’s ok to have background noise. Just acknowledge it’s there. And continue the flow.

I feel better and tired

I learned that I can do it for you and you can do it for you and you can do it for you and you will never know what you did to me that was never going to be the best thing ever you did.

15/04/2018

I can meditate if I put my mind to it! It’s an excellent way to feel calmer.

Calm and rest

Something that I need so much. I liked the part where she says you can rest right now. I find it so difficult just to get a little time for me to rest my mind

First day back to meditation

Even as little as 3 minutes is beneficial to me and is a gift I give to me xx

First Day

Giving myself this time to focus on JUST me and blocking everything else out is much needed!

journal 1

i learned that it’s very hard for me to just sit down and focus. it’s like my mind is always wandering and it’s hard for me to settle down.

Good Start, Sad End

It was really good. I could actually feel when those parts of my body relaxed as they were mentioned. The bummer was when I opened my eyes. I felt some of the dress return. I think it will be a process of learning.

Relaxed

I feel more relaxed then normal I feel gentle and soft I feel relieved of stress

Mind games

I learned that it’s hard for me to relax and forget all of the things happening around me. Like as if while I was listening to the audio my mind kept wandering elsewhere.

First session meditation was for anxiety

It was a lot of things I have already learned to do but are easier said than done but the lady’s voice was very soothing.... I was distracted during it thinking that I must get Rhiana an iPhone bc this would benefit her a ton!!!

Sleep

I feel as if I just let go all of my stress and tension in my body, I would have an easier time falling asleep and gettting rest.

First day

I felt stressed, depressed, anxious, and a throbbing pain in my head. I learned taking a few deep breaths can go a long way and I need to allow my body to relax.

Title?

This meditation thing... may be what I need to take control of my anxiety...

Day one

I am currently in a wave of depression where I feel lonely, disconnected, and forgotten. I hope that with this app I can take control of that feeling and come to terms with being alone at times so I can truly cherish those friendships I have and ones that I hope to make in the future.

Calm and rest

Not impressed. Didn’t go as in depth as I was hoping for. Felt rushed and definitely didn’t help me relax.

Sunday April 15 at 11:14

I felt calm. I got to lay down and focus on my breaths and the ride and fall of my body.

I noticed how tense my body was

I learned that relaxation techniques are really needed for me

Day 1

I learned that it’s going to take more than three min to calm my mind. As soon as I started the meditation I got panicked about something I forgot about at work. I couldn’t recover.

I need to practice

My anxiety has been so bad the last couple of days. In the moment of meditating I can kind of calm myself down, but afterwards it’s hard to stay at ease

Wow

I really felt a lot more relaxed and noticed I was ready to fall asleep, something that is normally hard for me.

Tense

I noticied that im a very tense person and that made my body relax by alot.

Anxious

I felt a lot better after doing this meditation often I realise that O get anxious quite easily and this meditation will definitely help me out.

Mantras

I noticed that I reacted well to the mantras I allow my body to relax and There is time to relax

Rest

I learned that I have plenty of time to relax; all I have to do is focus on my breathing, and tell myself that my breath is calm and steady.

Amazing

I felt that her voice was calming and the exercise was very amazing and calming

Wednesday morning

I noticed I get distracted during the session. I would like to be more present and less distracted, more focused.

Slow down

Sometimes I wake up and I feel like the world is going 100 mph while I’m moving in slow motion. This morning’s meditation calmed me and got me back on rhythm.

Relax mario

I am the only one that will keep pushing forward I will live the life I dream I will de success full I will de great no matter what

Calm and Rest

I learned to let go and to allow my body to rest and to have relaxation.

Rest

It was nice to just take a step back and learn that resting doesn’t have to be for a long period of time. That just a few minutes can make a world of difference, so calming and nice. And then you get back to your day feeling amazing.

Life

I really do love him and I love everything I’m doing for myself.

Office

I learned that anything can be a challenge but I can overcome it. I just need to step back and look at the bigger picture.

Sleep

I feel relaxed and ready for bed. I am tired and focused on getting my rest. I have a busy day tomorrow and I think this will help calm me.

Anxiety

I feel calm and in touch with my body. I am relaxed and ready for a good night’s rest to take on a brand new day tomorrow.

04/18/2018

I realized that just closing your eyes for 30 seconds and just allowing yourself to breathe deeply really does help calm down some of your anxieties.

I felt relaxed

I learned that resting my shoulders while breathing helped my body to relax.

Body vs mind

While my mind was relaxed, my body was not. It is difficult to know when there is tension

Meditation 3

I don’t need to be in a stressful mood to do meditation, i just need to be in silence to do it for allow my body to let go of everything of the day and rest better

Stress

I’m still a little stressed but this helped me relax a bit more🍃

I felt

Very calm and at peace, and relaxed. Things I don’t always feel and it was definitely nice

Day 1

I felt slightly better, the message is what helped in particular. It took me a while to settle in though

Background noise behind guides voice

There seems to be some sort of background noice only when the guide is speaking. Almost like muted sounds from construction near a new building. Vehicles, saws, heavy equipment.

I felt

More tired than when I started🙂😴 Aura has already helped faster than I thought it would

Anxious about a presentation. Breathing helped to settle the brain

I can take a 3 minute time out to prep and get in the moment.

Meh

This didn’t really help my anxiety too much, but her voice always offers me some calmness.

Anxious

I felt more calm by the sound of her voice more so than what she instructed me to do

Soothing but..

Her voice is nice and calm, but breathing exercises don’t help me sleep at night.

pretty good

her voice was very soothing but did not help me fall asleep:((

First Meditation with Aura

I learned that I have a long way to go in order to focus on my breath and not to allow distractions and wondering thoughts. Very soothing voice to keep my focused though.

First meditation

I still didn’t really feel like breathing and it didn’t really help but her voice was soothing

first session

towards the end i was breathing deeper , feeling the tension in my neck decrease i think i need a 30 minute session but i will continue with this

Restless

Definitely felt more relaxed by the end. One of those nights where I woke up and couldn’t settle and this definitely helped!

Taking care of yourself

I found more comprehension behind the concept of "rest". Don't take your off time and waste it worrying/stressing about the things that exhaust you. You'll be completely depleted.

1st meditation

I learned that I have the ability to control my inner organs and relax.

Calm and steady

I was really able to tune in deeper and more consistently today. Just a reminder to bring this peace into the rest of my day...

1st meditation

I learned that I need to take time for myself and actually give it my all. I’m so used to taking care of others but nut myself. I enjoyed my first meditation and looking forward to more.

I'm not staying at present, but always viewing the past and future.

I can be here in the present. Wwwwwwwwww wwwwwww wwwwwww www

I was slightly anxious about getting ready to return to the meeting

Focusing inward for a few moments really helps me center. I also learned I never did step 11

Allowing relaxation

I need to work on allowing myself to relax. When I tried to tell myself that I can relax I got anxious and hesitant, almost thrown off guard with my meditation.

First Time

I can relax myself through breathing in and out slowly and soft tone voices relax me.

Wow

I feel tired and ready to sleep! This worked so well and I can’t be happier with results

I felt peaceful it helped so much .

I learned that it’s ok not to be ok. It’s ok to be sad , it’s ok to cry .. meditation always helps .

Never been more relaxed

I have never been more relaxed in my life. I have never learned to relax until hearing this.

Calm and heavy

I learned to release tension that I didn’t know I was carrying

sleepy time

i like water. water falls and the ocean. turn up the background volume

Sleep

When I am having trouble sleeping I need to focus on my breathing in order to relax and remain calm.

Sleep

I felt tense at first but soon drifted into total relaxation

Today

Making yourself comfortable before bed makes you fall asleep faster

I felt calmer and I felt relaxed

I learned that I can meditate to help my body brain and heart

First experience

I learned that just closing your eyes helps and relaxing will help sleeping

Day one , sleep troubles

I tried the first lesson to meditate. In the beginning it felt like it was working. However, I think I went wrong somewhere and didn’t end up reaching the state I was expecting to.

Calmer

I learned that all I need to do is sit down and control my breathing so that my body can relax.

I felt...

I felt in the beginning like I’m not gonna feel well, this isn’t gonna help, and that I just won’t be able to sleep for the rest of the night. But then I did my 1st session and now I am saying to myself that it did help, I will be able to sleep for the rest of the night, and I also now feel amazing!!

I felt a little nervous to try this, but it worked out in the end. Everything went smoothly.

With a little meditation your body can feel great. And even though things may seem hard everything will work out in the end.

Sleep

I’m not sure how I feel about it yet, I will definitely try again tomorrow!

I felt that....

Today i felt very anxious and on edge. I actually decided to try out this app tonight to try to relax myself and it really worked. I’m so glad i found this

Depressed

I can’t always hide away and cry like I always want to. I want to be normal but no one is normal I want to feel loved😔

Relief

I felt relaxed very quickly and if you put your mind to it it helps tons

Sleep problems

It helps a little but it is very hard to clear my mind. It did calm me down and relax me but the voice was a little different for me.

Calm and Rest

I learned that i need to get rid of all my tension and take deep breaths to gather all the tension and then release when i exhale

First day, can’t sleep

I guess I need to keep doing this in order to see the difference. After a few deep breaths I felt more relaxed, but I feel I needed more time in order to fall asleep.

Sessions

I felt that the sessions were too short for me, that might only be because I have just started though :(

still can’t sleep

this was supposed to help me relax and be calm in order to fall asleep but I have found it to be less helpful then advertised

My feedback

I learned that meditation helps from a lot of stress and anxiety. This helped me sleep.

I felt completely relaxed

i learned that i liked meditation and need to do it more often

Relax

I didn’t know what to do I don’t now how to do it I just want to be successful in school

Sleep

It worked really well but at the end she went “and when your ready open your eyes” and for some reason I opened my eyes and now I can’t sleep...😂

First time

Always been open to meditation, so here’s to me trying it out! :)

Hmm

Never tired if before heard it was a great way to relax so I’m gonna give it a try for a week

My experience

I felt calm. I let go of tension and relaxed. This was helpful

Fun

I had a great time talking to friends today I gotta learn to not tense my muscles up

Feeling Anxious

I learned that this app actually helped me relax and I enjoyed the guidance of the voice

First try

I can let myself relax and it only took 3 minutes to fully let go, i was beginning to fast asleep

It’s a daily battle...

I struggle with sadness & depression in trying to overcome the feeling of despair in a seemingly no win situation.

First lesson

I have recognised that its hard for me to let go. It was quit hard to follow the voice of the women because I was thinking about all the other stuff with have to be done

3 minutes

Became aware of God's presence and created the space to allow me to be thankful and more aware of my surroundings.

Preparing for Sleep

By repeating a mantra to myself I am able to relax my entire body more effectively.

First night

I don’t have any idea yet..🤦🏼‍♀️. So i have to try it little more to give you my opinion about this app ..Thanks🙂

Hm

Easy to focus on the words. Hard to turn my mind off. Easy to find myself for the brief time of the session.

Was anxious

I don't feel so anxious anymore. I understand now I wasn't letting myself breathe today nor rest.

I was angry...

But now I'm just okay. My anxiety level has gone down and I feel like I can go without talking about anything to anyone.

This app

This app really relaxes me and helps me release my tension, I recommend using this app daily if your stressed like me

Learning

I learned that I can relax easily especially with the help of this app and track

Chill

I learned that I CAN relax. I am very bad at relaxing my whole body.

Day 2

I learned that it’s very hard for me to relax, but once I do, it’s very calming and tranquil. I feel amazing.

Resting

I have a hard time not getting caught up in my surroundings, often surroundings making me nervous and unsafe. I hope I’ll learn how to relax my body through this.

breathing

i learned that breathing is very relaxing and helps you to focus.

Interesting

Deep breathing and focusing on your body does ease all sorts of tension and anxiety

Relaxed

I felt very relaxed and at peace with my body and myself. My troubles faded away and I was left with just me and my breathing.

eh

i need to dedicate time To Just This. was trying to multitask and finish my makeup at the same time.

First session I felt relaxed

I learned that if I take a few minutes throughout the day to just simply breathe and focus on my energy, it can really help to relieve the stress and anxiety that I hold in.

Anxious

Noticed that my heart was racing even as I was trying to be calm. Have to publicly speak tomorrow , aware of that

April 24th Reflection

I learned that no matter how busy life is, i can take time to relax and breathe and not think about anything else for a few minutes. I feel it helped me become more focused on what i need to get done.

Feelings

I learned that it is okey for me to relax and take some time to calm myself when I am feeling anxious.

calm and rest

i feel relaxed and tired that’s all that i have to say, sorry aura

Day 2

It is not easy for me to relax. While trying to lie still and comfortable I noticed my neck and back start to tense and almost spazz. Will take practice. Anxiety 👎🏼👎🏼

Calm

I feel a little less stressed and a bit more calm. The breathing helped a lot hope to see more progress in weeks to come

Calm

I finally feel steady and less stressed ..I feel..peace..thank you

thinking while meditating

i think about many other thinga while trying to meditate, so maybe i should try to focus on the darkness i see when i close my eyes and focus on the patterns i see within my eyelids. i could also try a bit harder to focus on the keeping my mind clear, which i can do for short periods of time.

I could feel a sense of the room becoming bigger around me

Breathing can ease the muscles I also learned that I have trouble clearing my mind while doing this I remember thinking I should get an excederin because my head hurts

I have plenty of time to rest, what a great thing to realize

Not long enough

It was good but I need more time...I loved how encouraging it was.

Eh

Too short and I didn’t feel fully involved. It could’ve let me breathe more

Short but good

Helped me to calm down for real after three days of stress. Helped soothe my stressed IBS stomach.

Breathing

I felt like I could truly relax into my own skin and allow my breath to take up my body. Very good for anxious people like myself.

Calm and rest

In order to become tired or not stress before bed is to breathe and close your eyes and only focus on your breath

Session 3: Calm and Rest

I notice that I need to meditate more than once a day, for longer periods of time.

Meditation for me

I learned that I need me time. I learned that music could relax me and help me reach my mindfulness.

Sleep

I am allowed to relax and not worry. I am also allowed to be my self when I relax.

Sleep

I feel more relaxed but not sure if I’ll fall asleep. I did love the feeling wish it lasted longer.

Tension

I noticed that I can become even more mindful when I can focus on every single word that is being said and visualize it. “Let your lungs expand and relax.” I can actually see this happening and make it happen on my own. That gives me a large sense of control over myself and my emotions.

currently

I felt mindful, conscious, and at peace with myself and my body has relaxed, my mind has relaxed, and I have become more clear headed. Thank you.

Crazy feeling

I felt as if my body wasn't mine it was just still. Cool feeling!

Stress Relief

For a second there I completely forgot the rest of the world existed. I’ve been stressed nonstop, and I was still slightly stressed in the moment just because I always just.. am, but I think that with a longer meditation that could be fixed.I felt a little rushed in 3 minutes.

Day four

I thought I was going to drop yesterday I was so tired and sore. But I had energy to do things and I didn’t need or want to take a nap like most days. This morning however, I’m even more sore and I’m afraid I won’t do well at the gym. My back injury is hurting again and so is my leg injury from high school. But I will do my best to not give up.

04.26

I feel more relaxed, but still kinda anxious Also aaaaahhhh dysphoria (male)

Day idk

Feeling anxious about applications and my writing. Had trouble focusing. Ill try harder next time

Background noises

I noticed that there were lots of noises in the background of the recording. It sounded like machinery, sawing or drilling. It wasn’t very relaxing.

My anxiety is back!

This recording is okay, but not the one for me...I still feel anxious unfortunately.

Today

I need to take time to just breath and relax. 3 minutes helps a lot!

Realization

As I meditate more and more I realize that the only part of the day I’m paying attention to my inner-self is when I meditate. This should come as a lesson to find more quiet moments in the day to lift my spirit and not leave it neglected until the next time I’m meditating.

My anxiety attack

My anxiety come on my stress level went up so I took a break & have some water & relax I did my meditating & write my journal & write my anxiety

I’m feeling like i’m in nature

I fell like I returned to the nature. Like have made a deep breath and allow it to full all the space inside me. Clearness. Thank you.

Meditation

Taking just 3 minutes of the day to meditate and take a breather really helps.

Time to myself

These past few weeks have been tough on my mind, as my father has been in the hospital and at the same time I am preparing to graduate from master’s school, and am attempting to start a new relationship. The strain can pile up and become overwhelming when being pulled every which way by life. But for once in the past few days I managed to take just 3 minutes to center myself on my breath with this exercise and to allow the constant weight of the stress to alleviate, just for a moment, to allow myself a small, restful breathing exercise and to turn my gaze inward. It was a good reminder of what the breath can do to calm a racing, weary mind and rejuvenate a soul.

Calm and rest

I was breathing much easier. I felt more relaxed and calmer!

I felt

I felt way more relaxed and my breathing actually improved.

I can’t seem to turn off my mind

It helped to calm me inside but my head was still racing with a million thoughts a minute

Calm

I feel so calm and peaceful ready to turn off my mind and get a good nights rest

Music

I learned that music relaxes me help it’s me in the mood for sleep

Calm and rest

I felt very calm the entire time but my mind was still running with anxious thoughts.

Calm and Rest

I never realized how powerful it could be for me to give myself permission to rest. I was reminded that I deserve calmness and that I should allow myself to obtain it more often.

Day 1

I need my time to rest. I should devote more time to resting and saving my energy. 3 minutes a day will result in me being more focused calm and easy going at least I hope so!

I noticed that I have to take a lot of deep breaths

I learned that there is always time for relaxing and thinking about your self and others. As well as life.

Great

I was able to easily let go of my worries with this practice and be peaceful again.

Anxious

I find that my mind wanders and runs while I’m trying to listen. I feel a lot of anxiety when I’m trying to focus on my breathing. I hope in time, these exercises relieve stress instead of making me notice it more. The voice however was soothing, I’m just not entirely comfortable with meditation as of yet.

Stress

When I don’t get my stuff done on time my stress levels rise significantly

Sleep

I am happy that my body and mind are quiet an not rushing and very peaceful.

Can’t sleep

First time doing this. I’m going to keep reaping the steps until I feel calm enough to sleep

I felt relaxed until it ended the voice was keeping me calm as it was giving instruction.

I can calm down and relax I really love this relaxation method. It really helped a lot I feel better than I did before.

4-29

I feel like I was able to feel every bit of tension in my body and I think I did a nice job of trying to get rid of it.

Day 1

I can allow myself to relax, and I have control over how I feel.

First meditation

I feel so much more relaxed and ready for sleep. I really do believe this will help me further on in the future

I recommend!

I couldn’t sleep at all now I feel so tired I can’t stop yawing 😂😂😂

First Meditation

I learned that it is not impossible to feel comfortable and relaxed while being alone, and that it is quiet and peaceful while meditating, you feel as if you’re the only person on earth trying to connect with Mother Nature, and I love it.

sleepless 4/29

i learned that this helped a lot with me relaxing and that it helped me settle down to sleep

Calm

It feels much calmer and almost easy to fall asleep during the session

Tonight 4/29/18

Breathing can calm your whole body and helps relaxes the muscles. I feel calm and ready for whatever lies ahead of me for the day.

First Meditation

It was okay- I feel I would be more appreciative of it in bed or about to fall asleep

My first time

I felt relaxed doing the inhale/exhale method. I think music and calming visuals would help more

First time

I've meditated before but it was more to help me feel more confident. This was different and it helped a lot. I feel calm and relaxed now.

Calming

I don’t really have anxiety but it helped me let go and feel a little bit better.

Calm & Rest - Mindful Moments

I learned that it was easy to be distracted by others hounds around and I had to remind myself to come back into the here and now. I did feel a little anxious and little sad too but it’s not a big deal , I do it because I was ASKED to be there!

Feeling

I felt a lot more calm and at peace. My whole body has relaxed and I feel as if I’m ready to start the day.

Flatline

I’m severely bipolar so it was had for me to stay focused and to keep that calm and steady feeling for s long amount of time, but for those few short minutes where I did, it was amazingly calm and refreshing.

It helps

Following this helped me calm my mind cause it tends to keep me up at night

I felt like all my bad thoughts were gone and where I opens my eyes I felt so refreshed relaxed .

I need to start thinking positive but I do know if I can do it I will take time but I got it.

Relaxed!!

I feel so relaxed and comfortable after this meditation. Great way to end the day. .

Relaxing..

I was feeling great , and then suddenly it ended, I need more!

Amazed

It’s amazing how in a few minutes my body feels the difference and is relaxed from a stressful and long day at work. Love this!

Calm and Soothing

My anxiety is running high today which I can’t pin point exactly what is causing it. I am grateful for this meditation helping to ease my anxiety a bit.

Stress relief

I was very stressed and it really relaxed my mind and calmed me down

Keep positive vibes.

I learned that even though I’m feeling anxious I can allow my body to rest.

Relaxing

I felt totally relaxed and even though it’s only my third time doing this I feel like I’ve come a long way. I’ve started focusing on my breathing and that really helped clear my mind. Afterwards my brain felt almost empty, it was so refreshing!

Calm

It’s amazing how taking 3 minutes to yourself and focusing on your breathing does so much to help settle the mind and the body.

My feelings

I feel stressed and so I can’t sleep. I try to not be stressed and I tell myself that I’m okay and I’m not stressed but it’s just not that easy

Relaxing

It was an amazing and calming experience. It relaxed me so well, that I nearly fell asleep during the session. I oove how they used the tactic of repeating things aloud and telling your mind you can do something. I feel like it worked very well.

My Feeling

I’ve only done this twice, but each time I personally felt my body reached the peak of relaxation and peace.

Love This One

I have an MRI scheduled in a few hours and I’m anxious. This really grounded and calmed me.

Storm

I noticed that although my body was calm my mind was still like a tornado of thoughts that was hard to calm down

Hard to relax

For me it’s very hard to relax but when the voice startet to speak I began to relax.

Searching

I want to find peace in my mind and while hearing a voice tell me how to breathe it really helps.

I learned...

I learned that guidance in meditation is what I need and that it is sooo awesome

Breathing

I learned that when you breathe, you should be breathing heavily and noticing everything around you. You should be able to relax and not think of anything except of what you are doing.

Calm and Rest

That in this time when I want to rest I must calm myself down, lay distractions to the side, and get ready to rest.

It's creeped on my sooner, but I feel easier

My eyes start to feel dry and watery at the same time when I start to get really anxious and my mind starts to battle itself with wrongs I made in either minutes ago or years agos. When I can sit down and take my mind away from itself with these mediation moments, I'm more prepared for the next and the next after. Finding myself needing these app often and I worried on depenancy but this is healthier than many alternatives. Good vibes to all.

You have time

Through this session I was able to know that there is time to relax and calm down. I was anxious with my grades that i got and i felt no hope but then this session calmed me down and helped me to take a breath for a moment. And relax. Sometimes saying “i allow myself to relax” is all it takes to calm down anxiety. Or it can take breaths and comfort but at the end your goal is to reach relaxation.

It is great

It is very good for my health as a hole to take time for myself and meditate

calm.

i feel so much more at rest. i'm not fidgeting around freaking out. i can assess situations better.

Peace

I felt peaceful And relaxed. Focusing on myself and not my surroundings made me less restless

Check myself before I...

Doing this every morning (after I have my coffee 😉 and right before I get the kids going, reminds me that I don’t live a life- LIFE LIVES in me. I just need to let it happen naturally.

Peaceful

I feel so much more at ease. This session helped calm down my body and mind.

I noticed that I have time to rest

I don’t need to rush into finishing work I need to just calm down get what I can done and move on without anxiety about it.

Reflection

I learned that there’s plenty of time, so you are allowed to release the tension.

First Experience W/ Aura

I had just stayed up way too late on Netflix and I started freaking out about my sleep schedule... and somehow we ended up here. Glad I did though! This first sleep/calming session was super nice.

I noticed

I spend my time innately thinking about the past and what-if futures. Focusing on the present moment keeps me grounded and stress-free.

Focus and Intention

Repeating to myself that I allow my body to relax made me realize that I have control over how I react. This allowed me to help relax much easier, and not let day to day anxieties overwhelm me.

i seemed to breathe better...

all the weight on my chest- left me and i now feel pretty good

Feeling relaxed.

I learned I can breath deep and relax my thoughts and nervous for 3 minutes. Felt great. 🤗

First Meditation

I have never felt something so calming and intense I could feel my body shrinking but myself calming at the same time

I felt a wave of peace during the final b watch

It’s okay to give yourself permission to relax. I never thought of telling my body it’s okay to loosen up. As a person who struggles with control as well as feeling like I have to do everything at once, this was important.

First experience

Seeing as this was my first one I really wasn’t sure what to do but it was pretty relaxing and I will definitely do it again!

Relax,

Everything will be fine, your mom, Kenzie, Fran, Xio, Dafne and dad will be ok, all you need to do is breathe.

First time

I felt awesome and relaxed! I really felt myself calmed down and really reflected on my day!

I learned that

I learned that speaking out loud helped calm me down after having a lot of thoughts building in my head.

I learned that

I learned that, Speaking aloud and focusing my mind on my breathing can really take my anxieties away.

I learned

I learned that it’s okay and I’m okay and I can do this if I just stop and take a second to breathe.

I learned

I learned that it’s okay and I’m okay and I can do this if I just stop and take a second to breathe.

First Day

I found that paying attention to my breathing can allow for me to find ways to calm myself

First session

I think I learned that it is okay to not be completely focused on your first session. That my mind was going to wonder to things that are happing in the past, present, and future. But when I caught myself and went back to focusing on breathing I realized that breathing can really help with a lot of things like tension and stress. I really enjoyed the guide who helped me through my first session and will visiting her channel again. I had a great first session and want to do it a lot more:)

sleep

this helps me settle down & relax because of breathing deeply.

I can let go...

I learned that I am capable of letting go. I just have to want to.

2

Sleepy and so ready for bed thanks so helping me I am not mad anymore

I felt relaxed and it was relieving

Letting loose and breathing really help. It really helped me to slow down my breathing and take my time and not over do it.

5.7.18

My problems are very very small. I felt very relaxed, calm, and collected.

Wow

When I woke up this morning I felt mad and now I feel great.

!

I literally had a headache, kinda a tension headache and this really loses up my body and it went away.

I am stress-stuck.

But I DO know the power of permission. Allowing yourself to be a priority is so freeing!

Can’t sleep

I just want to sleep. Not sure why I can’t sleep but I wish I had the power to fall asleep on command like so many people. At least this meditation took my mind off of my inability to fall asleep.

Enunciation and ear cleaning

When they said “bring your attention..” i at first thought she said “bring you tension” haha

First Session “Can’t Sleep”

I learned that when asked to relax, breathe, get comfortable, to allow my body to do these things it’s as if my body wants to do the exact opposite — panic seems to arise & my heart starts to race, which makes me panic even more. Like I’m failing & I really don’t want to, I’d really like my mind & body to cooperate with each other, work together harmoniously & just do the exercise. It’s really difficult & I don’t understand why it’s become this hard — there’s too many battles going on & I can’t fight all of them within & without. I’m trying to listen to her voice & just shut out my own. I’m trying to keep on track & not fall behind. I’m trying not to miss anything. I’m trying to be in the here & now. I’m trying to remember to breathe. Relax. Be comfortable. Listen. Shut up. Stop panicking. I’m not doing this right. I’m failing. Journal it, it’s the first session.

Mediation is priority

I learned that I am a mind hoarder I am ready to mediate yet junk keeps blocking my path of throwing away the junk I am trying to be a cleaner be relaxed and at peace I need to use my breath as a blower

I felt aware of my tension. I do not allow my body to relax. I will think on that throughout my day.

I am capable of letting some tension go. It may not be all of it, but what I can let go I will.

My first try

I was able to focus on her words. I did feel some of the anxiousness leaving, but some is still there. I hope with time this improves...I have a lot of stress in my life right now and I’m looking for ways to cope and make it better!

Locked

It will take several sessions for me to reach true release. I do believe I will benefit from this.

Attempting

I was able to focus on her words, but not able to focus on my breathing simultaneously. Looking forward to trying again tomorrow.

Good Morning

I feel a lot calmer this morning and a bit more ready to face the day.

Breath

I noticed how ,as I was listening, me breath became more consistent and I became more aware of it too. It was very calming and relaxing.

Frustrating

I felt as if the more it continued, the more restless I became. I became anxious vs relaxed...her voice was initially calming and should’ve put me to sleep. I’ve been having this issue with meditation lately.

My anxiety is a sense of drowning

I don’t breathe deeply and I need to focus on more positive things

Peace and permission

It hit me deep when it said give your organs permission to settle and relax. Never thought of it like that. Giving permission. It is ok. It will be alright. It is ok to relax. It is ok to settle.

Trying

Trying to find something that works for me ands helps alleviate my anxiety and headaches.

I found control

I learned that riding the wave of breath and emotions I can relax and carry on stronger if I speak out loud to myself “I am allowing myself to relax” “my breath is calm and steady”

Drift

Decompress with optimism and ambition, as it holds depths no darkness can ever reach

Amazing ex

Aaron still continues to help me grow as a person in my heart and mind. I’m so excited to have such a great loving caring man! Whom can make me have such exquisite feelings

worries

i felt calm. now i can fully take a rest after a long day. i also felt relaxed

breathing

breathing is so powerful. It has the ability to reduce anxiety in a three minute mediation and I feel completely different after.

Anxiety

It helped me to calm my body, but the real battle is calming my mind.

I noticed that it really calmed me down because I have anxiety

Don’t let objects getting in your way and I recommended calm and rest

Love it

I love this meditation it’s so relaxing definitely recommend

Stress

It helped me loosen up & calm down . I felt my muscles loosen up & my brain at ease, I haven’t felt this way in a while

Very relaxing

This was really relaxing. The voice was really soothing and I felt very calm.

Breathing

I felt super calm and relaxed afterwards. I tend to take a while before I’m actually able to feel like I can actually sleep and stay asleep and this helped to focus and slow down on my breathing.

Feeling good

I learned how to remove stress and anxiety from myself,it was really an amazing experience meditating for the first time. I really loved it...

It’s didn’t work.

This lady can’t help me. I’m sorry, maybe next time. ...……......................................................

First Meditation

I felt my fingers tingle My body feels lighter; life clouds. My breathing was strong and pushed out the negativity.

I felt peace but wish it was a longer session, I learned to allow my body to relax with breaths

Order an app with longer sessions! wish there were longer sessions

Relax

It's ok to allow my body to relax. It's ok to release the stress from my body.

Session 1

As I laid in bed not able to sleep, breathing in and out as the speaker told me to do really helped me. Taking deep breaths drained my energy and getting rid of all of my tensions really helped too.

day one

when i began sleep mediation my body began to throb but slowly calmed

Calmer

Felt calmer. Mindfully Relaxed. Breath was stabler. At peace

Headache

This time I had a really bad headache so when I tried to calm my mind I just felt the pumping of the headache clearer.

Unable to Sleep

Lately, I haven’t been getting enough rest because I cannot fall asleep. And trust me, I’ve tried other methods. They don’t work. But this truly helped me as soon as it was over I finally fell asleep. I’m now well rested! Thank you so much for adding this on Aura.

I don’t sleep well

I can be sleeping then I wake up and I feel anxious it’s annoying but it happens each two hours and I don’t sleep well

20•05•18

Im starting to think that meditation could be a way out. Out of all the crap I'm constantly living or thinking. These 3 minutes were great

Relaxed & Calm

I felt relaxed 😌 & Calm only wished that the meditation was longer then 3 minutes 😱

Relaxed

It’s okay to allow myself to be in a state of calm. I find that all day I’m not allowing myself this because of stress or tasks at hand. But I realize I need it. Even at just 3 minutes a day, relaxing is good for me.

#1

i let myself go. i took long breaths and i let myself relax. i listened to the voice and just calmed my body.

I rarely sleep

Being in middle school and not getting much rest is terrible But my parents don't believe it. I got a physical recently and had to answer a depression questionnaire. I said I rarely sleep and my responded to me by saying," That's not true, I find you sleeping all the time." I pretend to sleep so that they don't worry so much. It's not good though, and this meditation helped relieve stress from finals coming up and the end of the school year. I hope I can learn to sleep with comfort soon enough.

Wow

She make all the stress in my on my chest just go away like a when u sick u take things to help you out and that works

I noticed

I noticed that my body after each breathe began to calm and my mind began to settle and I could focus on my breathe and the voice

My feelings

I’ve learned that it’s important to feel good and feel calm. My body has been going through a lot of stress and i can’t sleep. I feel so much better.

Review

I felt very calm and relaxed during this I could have fallen asleep if the video was longer which would be good

Sleep

I let go of all of my tension I didn’t realize how tense I was and I just needed to breath and realize my body and let go of tension letting my body settle

You can allow urself to relax

...I allow myself to relax....i allow myself to relax...i allow myself to relax

Must read

Wow so much tension built up this so helped I was honestly expecting nothing but wow

1st Session

I felt good. It was hard for me to fully relax my body and include my whole body and everything around me in my breathing. But I thought about and know that each time I do a session, I’ll get better and better with mindfulness. :)

Notes

I found meditation very relaxing I never knew it could do that and have such a powerful in pact

First time

I can meditate effectively to calm my anxiety and I feel more relaxed despite being at work.

Worked!

I felt relaxed and it even made me sleepy. Perfect for anxious moments.

It felt cool but it made me more tired. That’s good but now all i think about is why i was sad

I don’t know what i learned because it feels like i didn’t learn anything at all....

Bed time

I feel calm and relaxed I feel happy with joy and can’t wait to close my beautiful eyes😌☺️

I feel relaxed

I felt like weight was lifted off my chest and that I could breath nice and steadily

I feel calm and sleepy

I learned that it’s ok to be tired and want to sleep and to take a minute for myself to just relax.

Tension is melted...

had a really packed day and this just finally got me to relax

I want to scream SHUT UP!😡

It’s late and I need to sleep and wake up in the morning earlier than I did yesterday. I’m tired of having to turn up the music on my iPhone to drowned out noise that keeps me awake. This meditation would normally work but not tonight. This situation sucks! 😝 I don’t want to buy a comfortable couch to sleep in the living room. I don’t think it’s the solution to the problem!

First Meditation

I learned that I do have more control of my body then I ever thought.

Meditation

I felt like a balloon draining out all of the air; definitely sleepier than before.

Progress

I’m definitely a lot more relaxed. I need to work on letting my back loosen.

Relaxing

I noticed that I could consciously feel myself relaxing and becoming more at ease.

...remind myself to give my body permission to relax...

I learned that It helps to consciously give my body permission to relax, to exhale the tension and really feel the relaxation and calm in my body and beyond in to the room around me and even beyond that... I can visualize a calm and gently positive energy around me and radiating beyond, it filters the irritants of hyper vigilance and stressors.

Peace

I felt peaceful and relaxed and refreshed 🧘🏼‍♀️ it makes me want to do yoga lol

Peace

I felt peaceful and relaxed and refreshed 🧘🏼‍♀️ it makes me want to do yoga lol

First new meditation

I had more tension built up than I thought- even after what I thought was a relaxing day

Tension

I find that when I’m upset or stressed I my head and my body act counteract each other when trying to relax. Focusing on both my body and mind to relax is difficult but not obtainable. Practice makes perfect!

Letting go

I’ve been in distress for several months, allowing myself to get trapped in so much anxiety and anger in so many things that is happening in my life. I wanted to set my mind free and tell myself everyday that i will let go but I always fail. I learned that forcing yourself never work, set yourself free, forgive and you will notice that it’ll be gone.

Day 1

I learned that I can control my body. My body does not control me

Night 1

I felt my head tension drain. And if my mind wanted to wander it wouldn’t it was so relaxed

Releived

I feel that when my tension was drained, I just felt that there was so much that I felt to happy

Relaxing

I feel relaxed following today’s session and reaffirmed of the power and necessity of meditation.

Noise

I feel really relaxed and the meditation really helped. But was it just me that couldn’t concentrate on her voice because I kept hearing noise in the back of the recording?

I noticed they have you close your eyes because when she says open your eyes you do but they close.

This helped me a lot I am very happy✨ I’m energetic. Rested. Happy. Not in a bad mood. Acting different. Got up early.

ah

im still feeling absolutely terrible. i need real help. im tired of being alive. i want to leave this earth. i want to enter a new place where I don’t have to worry like I do now.

Notes

My mind kept drifting I could not focus. I started worrying about if I turned everything off before bed and ran through a checklist of todos

I loved this one ☺️

On being in the moment despite numerous pressures

I’m so busy and legitimately overwhelmed today. I have MUCH to do and accomplish, despite a toothache, being exhausted from a lack of sleep and a very stressful week. I am so glad I took these three minutes. When she started saying, “you have time to rest,” at first I thought, “but I don’t.” Then she said, “you have time to rest RIGHT NOW,” and I realized she was right. That this moment, as all moments, is sacred. I am grateful to have been brought to this present moment. I feel refreshed and good, and know that as real as our responsibilities,goals, and pressures are,in another light, they are not real at all, for we are only in this moment, actually, it’s all we have truly, and what a blessing that we do. (and what a beautiful voice, right?).

Wrong Time of Day

Calming, but almost too much. I’m trying to get out of bed to start my day currently, but this made me even more relaxed and sleepy. Definitely listening to this before bedtime.

Every experience a blessing

It’s important to find the beauty in every experience, especially the painful ones.

I felt calm

I could be at peace and rest, I worked hard and now I get to rest

Well

I feel different and very relaxed and now im tired , this was great !

Sleep

I felt calm and collected I should use this when I can’t sleep and then I get worried if I use this it will help

Calm and rest

Really helped me feel ready to sleep. Relaxed. Absolutely in love with this one to help me sleep.

Release Tension

I learned that I’m not as tense as before and I hope that I will be able to sleep now. Thank you 🙂

Tease

I feel that a 3 minute meditation was not full filling enough and I was unable to really check in with my mind, body, and breath efficiently.

Rest

Reminding myself that it is okay to rest. While I love to be productive early in the morning, it is more important to listen to what my body needs. Today, my body needed to stay in bed and rest until 8. Still learning to be comfortable with myself during times of stillness.

Relax

I need to relax before going to bed so I can truly rest. I can’t go to bed with my mind racing. I can and I should take a moment to myself to stop, breathe, and relax.

Better

After the season I felt renewed and calm it was soo great that I’m going to do it until I sleep

I feel really calm and relaxed

I learned that deep breathes help stress. This was a wonderful experience

Disquiet

I feel anxious and tense. Whenever I reach for stillness, my brain creaks and aches just like my joints and muscles.

I feel more relaxed less stressed

I learned that taking a moment to breath really helps. And that I can relax to not be so tense all the time. I never realized how tense I was till now.

I felt more relaxed and safe when listening to this I feel less stressed and a bit less anxious

I learnt that taking a breathe really does help and it’s good to have sometime to just breathe when you are stressed or anxious

Peaceful

It was very soothing to listen to and the breathing helped so much

Amazing!

Through the whole process my body completely relaxed, my breathing helped me become more relaxed and concentrated

Felt the tightness

I was able to feel the tightness I carry around all day in my body. I am grateful to have been made aware of it so that I can now work on it.

I felt the tightness

I am happy that I noticed this and I’m working on loosening up.

Breathing

When I took the time to breathe, my anxiety abated some. When I stopped and gave myself some time my worries didn’t seem so pressing. In the great scheme of things the little things matter most

Feeling Calm

After listening to that meditation it made me feel so calm and it helped me sleep. I officially love this app!

Calm

I was finally able to get into a calm mindset to start to drift to sleep. This helped so much

Tranquil

I didn’t realize how tense my body was or even the lack of energy I had... this was beyond a breath of fresh air

I feel relaxed in this moment 🙂

I learned that one has more control and power over the mind and body that one thinks.

My body can rest when I focus. I could feel all my stress lower and it felt great. I noticed that the more you do this the better

When I came out of the meditation I was calm and relaxed and I just had a euphoric feeling

If I focus my mind on the right things then internally I will feel better

First day

I felt call for a while, I need to learn to relax more, I learned that if I really just listen to the voice and less in what they say I can calm down and relax more easily.

a beginner tried

honestly,she was truly an amazing leading/guiding voice,however i just couldn’t seem to focus but still trying it out :)

Centered

I did this after a long day at work and almost forgot where I was.

I feel okay. A little less anxious. Sometimes it stinks to be around negative people.

I learned that it’s really not that bad. One can always separate oneself from the situation that brings negative feelings. I don’t have to change due to these interactions.

Aftermath

I was more relaxed after this short but effective session. I find myself zen and more relaxed and less stressed out

I felt I was cut short noticed comfort and learned It’s ok to dig deep I do have the time

Digging deep exercises my brain... I need a longer meditation now

Not sure if this is going to work for me.

You see other’s comments and I don’t like the lack of privacy.

Calmed

I felt more calm. I liked the phrases to say. I could almost feel the softening talked about after repeating the phrases. Like the power of saying it convinced my body.

Sleep

Be in the moment when you want to be calm not in thousands of places

I find it hard to concentrate on the now. My anxiety is a problem.

Breathing does help me to calm myself. I can help the anxiety with a change in thinking

Calm and rest

I’ve noticed that it could help us people relax with this app and it is very helpful of stressed or depressed people.

Emotion

I learned that I need to stay calm and reflect on my breathing

Tension

I learned that my mind races a lot. Especially when trying to sleep. I learned to let go for a while but my mind just kept racing.

Better

Focusing on just breathing helped take away that edge of anxiousness I was feeling that I couldn’t shake

Breathing

I learned that breathing is important in taking tensions away from my body.

I felt calm and comfortable. I noticed that I was relaxed and in control of my body.

I learned that I can be relaxed and at rest really easily. It is easy for me to calm down and just let go of the stress and tension by taking deep breaths. Now I can sleep.

GREAT

I felt so relaxed and just relieved from all the tension and I just felt calm

Relaxed

I felt relaxed and almost in my own world away from all my problems and things I don’t have to worry about

first meditation a good meditation

i love this it was so calming and it helped me relax and de-stress 😌

Day 1 June 10th

I learned that I am tense and need a good massage. I need to relax and take stress off of my body more often. Possibly starting yoga again.

sleepy

this allowed me to relax, unwind, get in a tranquil state where i can finally sleep.

My experience today

Overall today I had a very good day but in the past hour I’ve had stress, and overall anxiety about my past year. This helped me isolate myself from reality and take time for me. I enjoyed it.

Calm and rest

You just should really lay down and take a deep breath and relax once a day and it can really help with stress

First

I learned My body can relax❤️💕 and that when I do relax I feel better and more in control.

Stress.

I learned how stressed my body was when I let all of the tension in my body out. I couldn’t fall asleep because my body was far too tense. This helped so much!

Yourself

I learned that we all need to take a breather, even if it seems wrong to focus on YOURSELF... we all need too!❤️ 6/11/18

june 10

i noticed that i was more aware of my body and my internal energy after this

I was. I am

I was fully awake. Thriving. Now I am floating In a stream of rest. Thank you for that

I am calm

I feel very calm and relaxed and aware of everything. I feel very relieved of stress and tension.

My session

I felt really relaxed, and learned that it is ok to do that

Realisations

Repeating affirmations out loud allowed me to relax. I realised that Internally, my black dogs were out and that I have a forcefully remain at work black dog that forces me to stay at work when I am meant to take a break. This black dog wrecks havoc on my stress levels and needs more work. I had plenty of machines come out: - Desire to be the best machine - Desire to keep working machine - Desire to never quit working machine - Desire to force myself to work even when I don’t want to machine - Desire to keep myself going regardless of how I feel machine I deserve to have a break every now and then regardless o the external circumstances. It is my right and I will be giving it to myself. It will help my monkey brain as well.

6/11

It was difficult/ was unable to relax and I can't stop my mind from thinking about my boyfriend and how I need to be myself

Trying

My mind is restless and anxious this morning. Honestly, this meditation was too short and I am in need of something a bit longer to give myself time to settle in and simply breathe.

I felt that my head was very heavy and my eyes were very tight but my breathing was extremely even

I learned that I do have control over my limbs not just my mind yet

I felt so much stuff was build up in me

Let it all go just take a deep breath and breath let it go and repeat what you can do instead of what you can’t do.

Calm and rest

A lot of breathing techniques,and it was kind of short to be honest

Ensimmäinen

Ensimmäinen meditaatio pitkästä aikaa. Makaan kyljelläni mun sängyllä. Sensitive. Yritän rentoutua. Ei lisättävää. 11.6.2018

2nd day of this app

When you let your breath control you,you feel so much of comfort

I felt

That if I learned to let things go I'll be a happier person and that's what I when learned....

Calm and Rest

I learned that I can let my body relax and “breathing” with my whole body is amazing and one of the most relaxing things I’ve done. Breathing techniques are incredible.

Serenity

I noticed that focusing on my breathing allowed me to truly relax.

I felt very calm yet still anxious and stress enough to notice that I wasn’t fully in it

I learned that maybe let go sometimes is a good thing and can actually relieve some of my anxiety

I felt very in the moment i was really Focus on the breaking and that helped calm me down😌

I learned that when I take more time realizing how it feels to take long deep breaths it helps relax me.

My first experience with meditating

It helped me feel calm, I felt as if I was floating. Her voice helped me and guided me gracefully and smoothly through the process

I learned that I can actually loosen up through this app, that meditation is something that can actually have an affect on me

Important

Time is important but I should not let it drive my life. I feel like it is controlling all my actions and I need to step up.

Sleep

I need more of it. I won’t do well unless I sleep jdjdhdosjdodjekd

Anxiety

Through listening to a previous piece I learned that I have become anxious about no events at all. Perhaps I have anxiety. Perhaps not. But tossing and turning is an awful solution for it. This helped lower my heart rate and ease my mind.

Ease

I’m quite suicidal but I’m finding ease through this app even if my intent in the future is to end my life. I don’t feel a lot sometimes and my mind tries to make me feel emotion that provokes the most feeling, usually negative ones. Makes me panic so I come here when I need to sleep for the night.

Calm

Just before bed I always stay awake and can’t fall asleep, but lately I’m not doing that. I get to relax when I do this and not worry about anything else. 🙂

Better

I feel calm and like my anxiety is starting to go away. I still get sad and anxious but I am slowly working on it and it is slowly getting a little better and these audios are really helping.

better

i feel calm and settled, im still not over everything. but, its a good start

first experience

i learned it’s okay to let go and take care of myself. i always worry about pleasing other people, and i need to relax and really just breathe sometimes.

The voice

The voice made me uncomfortable and scared. I would never do this again

helpful

it helps with my anxiety and took away a lot of nerves, at least for the few minutes:)

Calm

Nothing but hopefully I will learn and not be so tired and stressed

First time trying this method.

Your body and organs are so important for your day to day life, not only for functioning but for also your soul. My anxiety lessened but I had tears when I opened my eyes. My aura is sensitive right now, it has been before I began this.

How I feel

I think I can help my self float away with this app when ever things are going wrong or I feel like getting mad at someone or my self I can always tell my self that I can use this to keep me calm and not freak out and get even more stress

Day 1

The more calm I got the more I felt my heart beat and it got faster which didn’t ease my anxiousness

!!

It made me feel more relaxed and forget about all of my anxiety for a short while. I really liked it; it worked wonderfully.

I felt like my mind was wandering a lot, I still kept thinking about the worries I have

I learned that I should always continue to return to what the speaker is asking.

Feel

I didn’t really feel relaxed at all.i felt pushed to relax and that I couldn’t

Relaxation

It’s actually very easy to relax with this! It made me feel very calm and at peace

First night

I felt very calm and relaxed and my mind was beginning to ease itself into a sleep!!

I

Her voice was slightly off putting in my opinion and it didn't help much.

First session

I feel relaxed and more happier as before. For a moment I could forget my problems and rest. In my opinion it should include music to make the session more effective.

So comfortable and soothing

I think I can sleep now I can relax and let go Sweet dreams everyone

Sleep

When I use clam and rest aura I was already sleep. I don’t even think I finished it I was so relaxing and peaceful

Awesome

I felt so safe and relaxed while listening to this my mind kept floating away and her voice was so soothing Wich made me relaxed too.

Today

I am holding a lot of pain in. Need to gather it together as an inhale, and release it as an exhale.

Clearing my head

I learned that it’s ok to have time by yourself and it’s ok to spark things up

“The Real” McCoy

My daughter and I stopped by the bank yesterday to get a cashiers check for a property manager we had business with later in the afternoon. We waited in line until the teller called us up to the counter. It had been awhile since I’d requested a cashiers check and the teller was very patient with my obtuse questions. “What is the name of the person you want me to make this out to?” the attractive woman kindly asked. I told her the manager’s full name and then handed over my phone with an email containing the correct spelling. She repeated the full name to me for confirmation and I replied, “Yes ma’am, that is correct,” and then, in a sudden fit of mischievous humor, I added with a completely straight face, “ or you can just replace his first name with ‘The Real’”. She just stared at me with a blank look on her face. My pathetic attempt at being funny had obviously missed the mark. “The Real McCoy?” I explained “Oh, I get it now!” she exclaimed as a smile filled up her beautiful face...

Amazing

I was so scared as I was going to a new camp today, so I meditated and was instantly put at ease.

sleep

i noticed that i drifted off to sleep while thinking about the story. i haven’t fallen asleep so easily in awhile

Calming

I loved Calm and Rest. It helped me to relax and center myself before facing the day.

Pain

I learned that pain although it is in my heart, it doesn't have to tear me apart. I am only responsible for me and my destiny. I cannot allow perceived pain or pain of the world to fill me up..

worry free

i learned that i should give myself time to relax and let my worries free.

Calm and rest

I should allow my body to relax and there is plenty of time to relax/rest.

Relax

I learned I need to let it all go and just breathe. I need to find a happy place!

This did not help me sleep, it is 1:37 and tomorrow I have school.

I need help.

Giving permission for my body to rest

i learnt that by giving my body permission to rest, it will. i have been holding it back from rest because i worry i can not complete my wotk

First real meditation

Wow... I immediately feel better, happier, and that everything will be okay in the end.

First Time.

I feel like I needed more time to calm my breathing and having it be slow and steady. It felt like it moved a little too quickly.

I noticed my body under my control. For once I felt my body surrender to me instead of the opposite

I learned that I can be calm even if my mind is not in the best place. I learned that the simplest things are the best in a bad time.

Calm and restful

I feel loose and relaxed like my muscles let go and my brain shut off

Day One

I can feel relaxation throughout my body when I am focused on relaxing.
