Calmness In Mind And Body

Practiced these 4 minutes in the sauna. Excellent way to wrap up my workout and prepare for the day.

I can be a calm mom. I can let go of my thoughts for 5 minutes.

Soothing

A soothing comforting relaxing reassuring session ... beautiful

Calming and centering

Very calming, brought me back to center and refocused my mind

Calm and relaxed

Great way to start the day, especially when you are feeling slightly anxious

Grounding

Wonderful way to calm and centre yourself for the day ahead. Keeps me balanced and calm through the stressful moments

Calmness in Mind and Body

Going inward by focusing on my breath helps me to calm my thoughts and ease my tense muscles and nerve pain. This practice makes me aware of the fact that my breath is usually quite shallow when I am anxious or feeling pain. Breathe work is great "medicine" for the mind, body and spirit!

I am one with the force

I can escape the craziness of my own mind and refocus on the positive forces holding me together.

Value of love

I've learned that...When you have love in your life the things you don't have doesn't matter, but without love no matter what you have...it is never enough. -Zion Crosse

Focus

My mind was wandering endlessly before doing this and keeping my focus on my breathing helped my mind focus on something other then what I was thinking about. I felt more calm and peaceful feeling myself breathing in and out.

Breathing

Long slow breaths silenced that restless inner voice. I felt calm and relaxed.

Settle down a but

I was feeling pretty anxious. This mediation helped me feel just a little more calm. Which is better than what I was feeling. Baby steps.

Calm and Relaxing.

This lovely meditation always helps me to calm myself down when I’m stressed or anxious because of my studies. Highly recommended. Beautiful soothing voice is the best

Breathing is great

Just breathing in and out fully, was great! It makes u feel way more peaceful.

Exhalation

The mood was calm and the breaths were deep and meaningful. It helped to place me in a state of calm that increased my sensitivity and awareness.

Beauty in breathing.

There is beauty in me when I breathe. Today I will acknowledge this insight and share. radiate it to others.

Emptiness

It was nice to focus on my breathing and the way my crystal felt and allow my mind to empty calmly.

That feeling after you emptied your lung of air as described in the audio

I have never conscientiously ever emptied out my lungs of air before, but after following the directions from the first audio of Mindfulness to concentrate on breathing (inhaling, exhaling completely) that was truly an excellent start for me and I definitely feel more calmness. The tone, female voice, background subtle music etc. definitely also played a role! Can’t wait to continue with this app! :)

Breathe

After a stressful summer season, it is nice to get re-acquainted with some breathing activity.

Calmness in Mind and Body

I learned that it is necessary to carve out a time to breathe properly and calm your mind.

Being aware of my internal feelings

Through this meditation, I learned to focus on my breathing and to become one with my body and mind. I enjoyed the feeling of feeling, being that I can be a bit oblivious to the true state of my emotions. This was a beautiful exercise.🙏

First Session

I learned that the short 3 minutes of meditation was peaceful and personal clarity is beneficial to me. Focusing on the calm inner feelings and my breathing was a nice change to my day.

10-11-17

This was a hard meditation for me. I am feeling great today and though this was a great meditation and great one to focus on breathing it was very slow and brought me to a low pace to a level I didn’t want to be at. I will look back though. Thank you Aura!

I feel better.

I needed the calm this brought me. I feel more peaceful. I'm going to practice this more.

To breathe n enjoy

To breathe n enjoy life around me. To let go of everything bad involved in my life.

Necessary Peace

In a world with a million things coming at you all at once it's important to take the time to focus on your breath so your soul doesn't get too tired.

Interrupted

It’s so hard to meditate if you get interrupted so many times because I don’t live alone and it’s so annoying. I think I could have had a more liberating experience. Though I did feel it very much

Clarity

I learned that I have the answers to my own questions. I just have to be still and listen to my thoughts one at a time. Keeping calm, focusing on my breathing and myself as a whole. Don’t rush anything, and everything will be okay.

This is so peace full and i learned to smile again

Let there be peace within you so that you can accomplish your dreams. May these quotes aid you in your pursuit of a greater life. “Gratitude is one of the sweet shortcuts to finding peace of mind and happiness inside.” Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.”

Kindness

Only breed when fertile so yes it is a season yes yikes but he horse hutryntibyhyb

Clouds

Lying on my bed looking out the window at the clouds I find peace. The darkness behind my eyes I find peace. In the love of my family I find peace. In the smile of a stranger I find peace. It’s all around us if we open our hearts.

Difficult

It is not easy to block outside thoughts. I hope this will get easier with practice.

Present

Everything is about being inside and outside aware of the present and what we do.

Look inside and heal

I had a headache when I started the meditation; and breath by breath I managed to ease the pain. All of this just by paying attention to my inside and helping myself by using my own tools.

Day 2

Today I was more distracted. A little cold and a late start to my day had me anxious. This is a good way to start the day.

Anxious

The anxiety I am feeling about the upcoming holiday is caused by my own racing thoughts. I just need to slow down, breathe and allow myself to calm down. This exercise helps!

Calmness in Mind and Body: A Guided Meditation

I learned that I need to listen to my body more my breathe how it feels my whole like breathing how I am doing , everything the breathing sounds around me .

Me

Just need me time! Stop worrying about things you can’t control!

Focus

I either need to learn to be more patient or I need to meditate in a more quiet space. I found myself very distracted by the people around me, and it was difficult to stay completely focused on my breathing.

Slow Down

I have taken the Transcendental Meditation classes, but feel the guided mindfulness meditations are more calming.

Calmness

I learned to pay attention inward. When looking inside of me I feel peace and clarity.

Learning to look inward

By focusing inwardly to something as simple as your breath you can block out much of what is around you and even the random thoughts that clutter your mind. I found myself only thinking of my breathing and it was liberating

Calming the mind

I entered into today’s practice not thinking my mind was racing, and was surprised at all the thoughts that came zipping by. Good to pause and start the day with a truer moment of silence. Namaste

Day 1

The power of a soft and slow voice can help facilitate inward relaxation. I got distracted after 2 mins. Space Heater went on and overhead vent went on. Distracting thoughts of upcoming conversations raced through my mind and led to opening eyes prematurely

Access to a new element

I felt I gain access to some newer elements of my body and mind, the voice gave me access to control this element, which is connect to all my senses and thoughts

Calmness in breathing

I’ve never felt like that before, and grasping each inhale&emptying each out breath was sensational

Inward

Focusing on your surroundings on the outside can make you lose sight of your mind and body.

Breathing

I'm in control of my breathing. I control what calms me. Truly feeling myself inhale and exhale.

Time

There is always time to meditate. No matter how busy or how tired there is and always will be time ........x

A Little Focus

A little focus on the here and now and our body can stop the clock in our mind that is wound too tight.

Calmness in mind and body

Thank you Dorothy for the beautiful meditation. I truly was only focused on my breathing throughout. Great way to calm myself.

Breathing slowly

I learned to breath slowly to bring that inner peace into my present mind.

Overthinking

Meditation doesn’t have to be another stressful thing to worry about because it is available whenever i need and whenever i need it. I am learning how to control my breathing and tune into myself and thoughts. It’s okay to let go and just escape life for a bit.

Emptying

By emptying the mind you can really feel your true just self, very nice feeling.

1/6/18

It’s morning and I felt so anxious with people talking to me in the morning. It made me so impatient but this Meditation calmed me. Took my deepest inhale exhale and somewhat helped release the bad vibes.

Calming

The space in between the breath exhaling and inhaling is where my peace of mind sets in. Also her voice was lovely. I felt as if I was in a yoga class.

Focus Inward

I breathe and seek the calm, the stillness and the peace as life swirls around me. I can��t control much but I can control the peace within and my calm ability to react.

Even a short meditation can have an impact. This first experience was quite good.

Day 1

I can exhale and inhale a little bit more than I think I can each time.

Calmness

I learned that I can be calm whenever I want to and that the thoughts I have can be peaceful.

Just breath

I know I am being mindful of my breathing. Especially when I get to spend even more time than previously allowed during the meditation; —silently trying to follow my breath ...in...+ ...out...with out judgement. As I inhale and focus on the motions along with the very feeling gained from the time spent just being.. 🕉☮️💜

Mind through body

A key component to increase our attention is to focus our mind through body by the way we breathing and how we focus in it

You can take in good feelings

I always am told in with the bad and release it, but while doing this session i felt as though i was collecting clarity and good feelings and absorbing them.

Calmness in mind and body

I learned that changing the pattern you breathe in but recognizing how your body stays the same can balance out your mind.

Mastering Anxiety

You can wish it away but it won’t go until go within and just breathe.

Day 47

I really enjoyed this meditation. I found her voice to be very calming and when my mind started to wander I found it easy to refocus on the breath

Tough

There is a lot whirling in my head right now. I hit these stages of inner term oil when the job lightens up and I am able to think and work on my future. A lot in there today.

Little drops of stillness

This wonderfully paced meditation on stillness was an excellent reminder that even tiny droplets of self-care can go a long way to rediscovering tranquility out of the busy mind. <3

Overthinking

I need to just sit down and breathe. Instead of focusing on the negative situation I need to breathe and be calm.

Unrest

The women's voice was particularly hard for me to relax. Her voice was corse and almost rough sounding. I was also interrupted multiple times which made the "anxiety-calming" recording to an "anxiety-heightening" recording. All in all this day of meditation was not very well.

Thanks

I felt so relaxed and at ease. I have a stressful week coming up so I’m looking forward to practicing this kind of mindfulness and meditation

Just breathe

I learned that just taking 3 minutes out of my day to just breathe, helped me feel better! 😍

Calm

This was an excellent meditation for calming thoughts and relaxation. The woman's voice was very soothing and the pace of the instruction was perfect.

peace of mind

i feel like i can now take better control of my thoughts. sometimes it’s like my mind is doing 100 things at once. now i can better focus on more important things like keeping “the calm, the clarity, and the peace”

Good

It was good and then my mind wandered and it was over I think I need something longer

Great! But....

This meditation was great, and it helped me feel more relaxed. But throughout the session I noticed how my mind started to wander off.

Tuesday

I learned that I really enjoy meditation in the morning while I’m getting ready for work. Whereas before I would have taken a break to look at my phone, now I can take a few minutes just for myself.

Relaxed

I learned that when you feel sad or stressed you should close your eyes and take long deep breathes and be aware that you are alive and happy

b r e a t h e

I learned that a great way to unwind and relax is just to lay down and focus on my breathing

First meditation of the day

I learned that I need to learn to focus on breathing a being mindful for often and to just keep calm more often

Breathe

I learned that just taking a few minutes to breathe can make me feel better and calm

just breathe

I learned that it is ok to pause to just collect yourself and take a break to just breathe and be aware of my body and to calm myself.

Just breathe

I focused on not only deep breathing but the pause between the inhalation and exhalation. This allowed me to become aware of my lungs. It was liberating for me on a day when I needed a good start.

Centering Yourself

I noticed that as i began to focus on each of my breaths, i became more and more aware of myself and my surroundings. I began to be more centered with myself and felt back at base. It made me feel a bit less anxious and stressed.

Calmness in Mind and Body

I noticed today, that i felt more calm and collected, yet, tired and exhausted after this.

Calm

I noticed I was a lot calmer than I was before and I feel more at peace and ready to start my day

It’s as simple as breathing

It’s amazing to me what power there is in breathing deeply, in thinking about the breathing. I’m mathematical and tend to count, trying to breathe in for 10 seconds, out for 10 seconds...slowly work my way up to 15 seconds. This is an exercise I’ve enjoyed most of my life and has helped me through many stressful moments, but being mindful of how each breath fills my lungs was entirely new. Refreshing.

Nothing like a moment of quiet

To turn down racing body and mind to a slower pace to a calm place

today i felt quite calmed and relaxed after my session

i learned that i can focus on my breaths to calm myself down

Day Four

Today I felt really happy and I’m glad for this exercise because I really needed to calm myself a bit.

Day 3

I noticed that I’ve became a lot calmer tonight then day 2 or day 1

1

It was very calming. It’s relaxed me right away. It gave me a nice moment to reflect on my day.

Stressin

I was so stressed about school and things in my personal life. This was a very relaxing moment for me. My mind actually stopped racing for once

Breath

I learned i should focus from time to time in a single thing at a time. Focus on my breath for example

I felt at ease

I learned that just by taking a deep breath you can learn and feel more of your body

Calming

I learned that I can calm myself in as little as a couple of minutes and that I need to do this every day in order to help my mental health.

Calm

I feel really calm and I feel a little peace within myself after this session. I’m now on my way to work with a clear mind.

Our sessions are about the breath. But for some

reason they tend to be different. This one couldn’t focus me on the breath. my mind kept wondering, badly.

Calm

Within the storm of emotions there is relief in letting go. Even if just for a moment. To breathe.

Breathing

Really needed this focus on calming my mind today as a lot of grief is coming up for me now that I’m standing still

Calm & Weightless 🦋

I feel calm and have a feeling of weightlessness that I’m enjoying right now. Seven minutes of focused breathing, emptying the old air and breathing in new. I only wish it happened outdoors, how invigorating that would have been! 🌤

I felt that I was calm and focused.

I learned that I can be still, relaxed and sharp thru focusing my breathing. It was clear and soothing. There was a gentle clarity and strength in my concentration - energizing. Yesterday, there was a bit of conflict, and I was able to be mindful and restrained. I was concerned, a bit alarmed but was still able to be aware and mindful to manage the situation.

Bliss

This meditation gave me such calmness, before my heart was unsettled but now I am so at peace, I love it. I can feel how it calmed the rough sea of emotions I had beforehand.

Noticing

I noticed my breath and how the lengthening allows my mind somewhere to focus

Clarity from Breathing

Good meditation but I was way too anxious and stressed for time to take it all in. Maybe I am better off doing these meditations at night before I go to sleep.

Peace

To achieve full harmony within the external notions of life, one should consider the valuations of inner tranquility

Clearing the mind

I have a lot going on in my head right now. It’s seriously affecting me and this is really important. I need to quiet my mind because I can’t sleep.

First day

Today I felt a bit stressed, but it was nice to hear on the recording to affirm that it was ok to feel this way. The acceptance of the feeling was nice and reassuring,

Practicing...

I realized how much I have learned over the past 9 months of “practicing” meditation with my Aura Tribe: There is more than 1 way to get comfortable & it’s ok to lay down to meditate. Breathing deep has an instant calming effect on my body while it ignites my brain! It matters more what is going on inside you than around or outside of you. We can influence what’s going on outside of us more by focusing & influencing what’s going on inside us and that is mostly easiest done by influencing our breathing. I guess it mostly comes down to breathing more purposefully so our body can get the most oxygen in to energize our blood to our muscles & organs and help clean the toxins out to keep us healthy. In this way we are showing the most love for ourselves and thus others. Namaste

Day 1-long stressed day at work and home

This after a shower lying down literally put me to sleep. I have not fallen asleep with all the lights on in my bedroom with noise in the main living part of the house in years. I finally slept and haven’t done this well in weeks.

What mindfulness IS

I learned that the moment you catch the wandering thoughts is being mindful. I always thought of it as failing to be mindful. This one was helpful to reshape the way I approach my mindfulness practice—perhaps it will help me actually get it off the ground, instead of starting and stopping so regularly.

Breathing

With deep breathing I fee lighter, more relax; ready to continue my day.

Good things happening

Good things are truly happening in my life all because I’m learning to calm my mind and to take the time to slow down and breathe. I smile all the time now.

Perfect pause

I feel much calmer and lighter, my body is ready for second round in work. Even stiffness have disappeared.

A still place within

From scattered to sequential and focused. A good intention for the day. Namaste

Therapeutic

This is my favourite meditation so far...I feel so light, carefree + peaceful after completing this. The power of your breath is truly amazing...🙏🏽💙✨

Letting ho

I have a problem with letting my anxiety and worries consume me and I keep a tight grip on them and they have the same on me. I need to learn to just release myself of them and try my best to melt under positive thoughts and sounds.

BEAUTIFUL Days

I felt calmer. I noticed how when I take the time to just stop and catch my breath, everything else falls into place. I learned the importance of sleep, rest, relaxation and meditation. When I’m centred and grounded I can more easily focus and put things in perspective.

biggest

I learned to focus on big tasks rather than trying so hard and giving so much effort to simole tasks

Nice and calm

A great meditation before bed. This helped me to quiet my mind and relax. I wish it was longer, like 15-20 min so I could just fall asleep right after.

Peaceful

I’ve been working very long hours and pushing everything else aside for a couple of weeks. If I’m awake, I’m working. It’s an unsustainable pace, but trying to fill in for others with serious illnesses, etc. This set the tone for the day. I will do what I can, but I must take some time for myself...and just breathe.

In the moment

Nowhere else to be but here. A good intention for the day. Namaste.

Relaxed

This is a great exercise to do when you’re stressed. My stress seemed to melt away.

Good

Just by breathing you can become relaxed. Will most certainly have to keep this exercise in mind!

Calm and relaxed

This meditation made me really really calm and relaxed. Amazing.

Streesed

I love this because I didcoded that I’m taking a break from drama and focusing on me .i just start drama two boys were fighting over me and my boyfriend broke up with me and is now with one of my friends idk if I still like him but it feels good to get this all out

Calmness in Mind and Body

Although I began my day with this peaceful , gentle meditation, it would also be great before bed or any other time during the day when you either need to calm yourself or when you need to slow down.

Calmness in Mind and Body

This was a wonderful meditation. Thank you for your calming and encourage guidance. Often it is difficult for me to inhale deeply but when I do it feels nourishing and the exhale then releases tension in my body. 🙏🏻

Very relaxed

I found myself getting completely intuned with my body's breathing and didn't even get distracted from the noises around me. Really enjoyed this :)

I noticed that focusing on each inhalation and exhalation allowed my whole body to relax

Focusing on breathing alone allowed my mind to quiet down. My thoughts seemed to fade away and I only paid attention to each inhalation and how my body moved and each exhalation and how I needed to keep it slow. It allowed my heart rate to slow down and my muscles so be less tense.

Slightly Stressed

I took a personal day from work yesterday. Now I'm thinking about how behind I am and all the work I need to do. These meditatons will definitely come in handy this week. I have to get my work done, but I also need to make sure I'm taking care of myself as well.

Where to Park Your Mind

I was very stressed about things before this medication. I felt calmer and relaxed after doing this medication. I recommend it for doing mindfulness wherever you are.

Calm

This allowed me to slow down for a bit after a day of overthinking.

calm again

Having a break in the narrative gives one time to feel the meditive effect hit home

11/14

I learned that having a calm inner body is good for when you’re sad and stressed because you can focus on one things and get rid of the things you shouldn’t need to focus on

zen

this is the perfect practice to stay calm and have a clear mind!

Clear your mind

It’s just what the doctor ordered...and can help on so many fronts

Calm

I learned that I can calm my mind with my Breath and I can slow down. Life is not a race it’s a journey meant to be experienced, lived. Take a moment and enjoy the stillness.

Breathe

Just remembering to take a moment to breathe and clear your mind. It can change the direction of the day.

Peace

I learned that I can feel peace while I meditate and continue feeling it even after if I focus on my breathing.

The calm that comes with breathing.

It is amazing how paying attention to the breath brings calm to the body and mind.

Calmness in mind

I feel super relaxed and calm after this meditation. I did this meditation on the bus and hah to close my eyes because there was too many distractions. Once eyes were closed, it was easier to concentrate and relax.

I felt so relaxed and calm after listening to this wonderful audio. I feel more center and peaceful.

I learned that I can be in center with myself. That I can be calm and more connected to the earth and myself.

2.1.2019

i learned that I could be beautifull and hot ir I want, and to have patience in every situation

calm

My mind has been racing all morning. I went for a walk to clear my mind while I am at work. This has helped. I am ok now.

Very centered n relaxed

I really enjoyed her voice and how she got me to center. Just lovely.

small pains

I need to focus on strengthening my back. the pains took me out of focus

Heaven

I imagined a calm and soothing image of me and a person i dearly love in a calm an deserted area where nothing bad can happen or reach us.

Calming

This is a repeat of a meditation I did a few weeks ago. I needed this today. Although I am not as calm as I would like, I am less anxious than I was so that’s a win. I will try again later. 💫🙏💫

Breathing slowly

I learned that breathing slowly and taking nice long deep breaths really calms you down and relaxes you

Day One

I felt a little relief , I learn that everything doesn’t deserve my reaction, I see that I’m worth the everything 🤟🏾💯

Comforting voice...

What a comforting voice! It really helps me to release anxiety and just feel good... 😇 Thank you Dorothy! 🙏🏻

Grounding

I noticed that as I calmed my mind, my body and mind settled downward. Just like electrons draw nearer to the nucleus in a lower energy state, I can lower my energy(anxiety) state by focusing inward.

Slow it all down

When I slow down my breathing I can take much bigger and deeper inhales and exhales. Ready to resume regular speed, with mindfulness. Namaste

First Aura: Calmness in Mind

I learned that through stillness and being in a state of calm helps adjust breathing to slower paces, making you more relaxed

Ease of mind

Before this I wasn’t really doing anything but I somehow felt stressed, but after this I feel refreshed, calm, and focussed, I don’t really know how to put it into words but it feels amazing I don’t really ever feel like I do at this moment right now.

Clear mind

This let me clear my mind for a bit since I’ve been other thinking about stuff and I felt free from my thoughts

Relaxing

The slow breathing really helped me calm down and be in a relaxed state of mind.

I felt calmer and noticed my mind slowed down a bit had no real thought process

I learned that I’m very unaware of my breathing Im hoping this will help me focus and gain clarity Perhaps I Can begin healthy habits such as daily yoga or some pushups and sit-ups Also, daily journal entries is a goal.

Take 5

Taking just 5 minutes to gain some stillness and calm can make a big different

Day one

I felt a little calmer and it was nice to focus on my breathing and relax.

Today

Today was super stressful for me and I was hurt right in the heart. This helped me take. Break from those thoughts for a bit and I finally felt free

Peace

College has been really stressful lately, leading up to exams and all these assessments and just taking 5 mins to do this makes me feel like a weight has been lifted off me somehow.

Stress relief and clear mind

Taking 5 minutes out of my day and just relaxing and meditating seriously helped me out more than I thought to would. Calming my mind and breathing like that was so simple yet so effective.

Breathe

My breathing has been erratic and shallow, and my heart rate is too high. I need to focus on breathing better and remaining calm.

i felt calmer and more aware of my surroundings. Especially knowing that i am in a peaceful place

i learned that with every exhale i let out the negativity in my mind.

Calming

I learned that we all should take a moment to ourselves and find a peace quiet area to just be by yourself whenever your having struggles with something that isn’t right at all

Shhh

Quiet the mind and still the soul! Beautiful. Balance and peaceful bliss.

Relax

Time is always passing, our minds constantly running. We tend to get wrapped up in our thoughts and being worried about our next move that we forget to just pause sometimes. This meditation taught me that it’s important to pause sometimes and just breathe. Don’t focus on what needs to be done next just clear your mind and relax. Take control over your mind don’t let it control you.

Breathing helps!

If you give yourself a little room, focusing on your breathing, it can pull you through those tough situations!

Tuesday calmeness

Great start to my day. I’m feeling great and prepared to tackle the day.

Calmness

I learned how to calm my nerves and body, it’s very good for yourself.

What bodies want

To breath. I make my body happy by breathing. Happy body can lead to a happy mentality!

Distraction

I felt distracted today during my session. my mind kept taking me other places and left me worrying about new things.

Focusing on Breathing

I learned that i need to focus on my breathing and slow my mind when it’s busy to help me sleep. Tonight I may not need it and I still need more practice. But more importantly I need to keep this up even if it’s not at the exact time. I need to always remember to do my mindful meditation.

Almost there

My mind wondered a little bit but I am getting better and bringing it back to my breathing.

Calmness and relaxing

I feel that listening to this mediation will help me feel calm in my mind and body listening to music help feel relax not worrying about anything. That’s is what I need right now .

Feeling

I feel good, no negative thoughts. Now I can start my day focused and driven to accomplish my personal goals. 😊

calming

I felt cleansed with the emptying of my lungs and the new fresh air replacing the released breath.

I felt a lot calmer and I noticed that my stress tics went away once I closed my eyes and breathed.

Once a day I need to just take some time for myself so that I can stay in a good mindset.

First one

Weird tingles all over my body, could barely feel the covers on me. High as hell tho.

Peace

I felt relaxed and more in control. Loved to breath and think of me

Now

Gray practice to remember when my thoughts are scattered and I’ve lost my focus and prioritization. Stop and breathe, deep, yet easy. Namaste

Happy

Happy that I got Aura to actually allow me to listen to a meditation track this morning! And happy to be getting out of the house today for lunch with my old business networking friend, and local Realtor, Sherry! She's been after me to join her at our local chapter of ToastMasters for a long time! Today's that day! Hoping to see some other friends today as well. I know they either already belong or may have likewise been invited to today's meeting! A bit anxious because I've not had the means to really ”re-launch” my business fully yet; I do not have business cards made, nor a web site created yet, but maybe, just maybe, this will also lead to some much-needed and much-missed work for me!

A detailed picture

During the session, I really got to focus on my breathing in a way I’ve never done before. Breathing is so natural, we don’t take the time to see and feel how it moves calmly.

Calmness

I learned how to be better at calming my nerves down with this exercise.

Loved This

After a stressful day this really allowed me to sit back and relax. Even put cucumber slices over my eyes, lol. Would suggest to anyone.

Calmness in mind and body

Once again Dorothy has proven herself to be a masterful teacher of calm and peacefulness .

Calmness in mind and body

I thought this exercise was effective for calming down the body and mind

hungry?

i feel hungry now but like i don’t think that was the point but

22/05/19

I felt calm and more in tune with my body by focusing on my breath, visualising my lungs naturally filling and deflating.

Anxious and anger

That even when your day gets turned upside down all you need is to just stop focus on your deep breathing for just a bit. It really helps calm and center you so you can carry on with the rest of the day peacefully.

Take a break

It’s good to remember that I can get further in the long run if I allow myself some good breaks along the way. Namaste

Breath

This reminded me how easy it is to just focus on your breath and how much of an affect that has on your body and mind.

Breathe

I learned that when I focus on my breath I result in feeling Calm, clarity, and peace.

Peaceful

I can control my anxiety through mediation And understanding my breathing and how it affects my mind

Calmness in mind and body

I first started crying and couldn’t stop however, I learned to just breathe and calm down. I let out all my sadness and now I could fall asleep a little easier.

Meditation with marijuana

I became very chill, inhaling and exhaling serenely. I became calm, focused on her voice, feel calmer, feel blessed, my thoughts aren’t racing. Good Vibes.

I accept myself

I honestly now realized how nice and good it is to be calm so now I am going to spread my joy to others to make them feel great

This truly helped me in a moment of stress and anxiety to the point it lowered my blood pressure.

I learned that breathing is and being mindful has such a good effect on your body and well-being.

Att fokusera på andningen hjälper

Det hjälper mig att lugna ner mig och minska spänningen i kroppen. Den hjälper mig även att fokuserq

I noticed how big a difference directing your focus on your breathing can make.

I learned that I need to do deep breathe more often. I enjoyed this session and will continue to use the app to meditate.

De-stress

I learned that when I breathe deeper my mind wanders less. I felt calmer after I fully focused on filling my lungs and then completely emptying them.

endless.

i’ve got so much to think about. but before i get started i knew this is what i’d need to relax. always help yourself out. (:

I felt relaxed after the meditation

I learned to be more aware about my surrounding , The session made be relaxed and calmer than i usually was

Clear your mind

Slow your breathing; breathe in a little longer than usual, and slowly release it. This will have you feeling calmer, as, with each exhalation, it will quiet your thoughts. Take it easy, one breath at a time!

Funny thing is...

Her voice is so good and this practice of focusing on your breath to calm yourself is so on point that I fell asleep halfway through! 😅 Welp, guess it’s effective in making me relaxed. But thank you for sharing this. Namaste namaste 🙏

Meditation

Wonderful and fulfill great meditation to share with others.

Calm

Dorothy, yes! Simple changes, empty lungs, clarity! Ordinary and extraordinary! Thanks.

Me

Just taking a little time out for your mental calmness is very important that’s what I’ve learned. Thanks for your awareness

Mental happiness

Take the time out to just breathe Find your happy place Listen to the background Imagine yourself running on the beach with your feet in the sand water between your toes

Not guided enough

This session was a little slow for me. Too few words and not enough imagery for me. While it was nice to breathe deeply I was needing more substance today to quiet my mind.

Still thinking

I’m not sure if I’m just having a very bad day or not but it didn’t guide me to clear my mind as I was expecting.

Finding my breath

My breath is like my spirit. I can choose to make it calm and steady.

Relax & meditate

I love hearing the water & close my eyes & listening to water & write in my journal I am really relax & calm & less stress

Experience with day 1

I noticed my mind still wandering... thinking about things Leo said to me or imagining him on this trip or the next time I’d talk to Him. I briefly thought about Oliver too.

Emotions and Clarity

Listening to the sounds and music, helped ease the headache Im having this is a good start to learning how to slow down and meditate which is desperately needed.

Sleepy

I learned that if you're already sleepy, this puts you straight to sleep. Also, I was only dozed off about 10 minutes and was already dreaming really weird things. But as soon as I woke up it was already fading away, amd within 3 minutes I forgot entirely what I dreamt. Just remember that it was weird.

Slowing Down

When our minds are feeling scattered, we can find calmness and clarity within our mind and body by focusing our attention on our breath. Getting settled into a comfortable position...closing my eyes...I can feel my body start to relax. Slowly, I take a deep inhale...pausing at the top. And, slowly exhale until all the air is fully released from my lungs. As I continue to do this, my mind is switching from “doing mode “ to “just being mode” which is giving me a break from the overwhelming feeling of all that is going to be on my plate next week. By the end of this session, I am feeling calm and grounded. I have a new sense of clarity that the only thing I have control over is the present moment. I will consciously take a few moments to slow down during the day to focus my attention on my breath to bring me back to a place of calm and clarity.

Breathing

It was nice to focus inward and focus on my breathe. I tried to take long, slow, smooth breathes and make them longer each time.

I noticed that my inhaling is much shorter than my exhaling.

I learned that I need to take in less quickly, less greedily and then the whole breath is much fuller and feels much better.

Just breathe

Breathing slowly can make u feel calmer take the time to close your eyes and relax and breathe

It’s the actual stopping what you are doing that is hard I find and once I do that? The gentleness and directness of the focusing talent of the guide is all important . A very helpful 3 minutes

I can do this, it’s not hard atall, it’s the stopping, or starting that is the hard part

First day

I learned that my mind wanders so my goal is to focus only on the breathing. I feel calmer though from breathing deeply. It’s easy to do - making time to do it is the hardest part

first day

my mind still wanders everywhere, however, i plan on working on my focused breathing

first day in a while

definitely got distracted but towards the end looking inwards in my body was easier just need to practice more

I felt recentered

I went into this session with a tear stained face and found a position where my eyes could gently close. My worries and thoughts were running through my mind but as I focused on slowing my shaky breath, those thoughts slipped away. Now I feel light hearted, hopeful and calm. My emotions are valid and I am thankful to feel so much but I can release those feelings for now as they do not serve me. I am grateful for this opportunity to slow down and simply breathe.

I noticed

That I can control my thoughts. Even when I got distracted, I was able to refocus my thoughts and relax.

I felt more in a peaceful state genuinly wanting health strength safe and protected for not only myself but myself Jesse and the world we know and live

I learned that positive affirmations can actual be helpful in helping my mind state.

Relaxed

It’s okay to take a few moments to be mindful. To slow my breath and focus inward. I felt peace =)

The CALM before, during, & after the storm

Slept in after a long night of pain, tears, n sadness as my family said goodbye to my dearest grandpa via GoogleDuo video chat as he was taken from us by COVID-19. I woke up knowing I had a lot to do today but couldn’t get my mind to slow down enough in which to focus. The moment I signed in to Aura n began this mediation, a warmth came over my body, start with my head, down to my feet, n I was CALM. It may be 3:45 PM n rather late to say I’m officially starting my day but better late than never. Thank you for this meditation...I’m truly grateful. ♥️

Simple Signs

To think that judging others is a bad thing may actually be a myth. Don’t we have to judge others by their actions or in some sense in our decisions of who we share our time with.

First Time

I learned that controlling my breathing can help me relax. The sounds soothed me

Meditation

It feels like I have more clarity to my thinking. I look forward to making this a habit. I enjoy the nature sounds and the soft voice of the leader

I

Was Sad but I’m so calm I think of doing this every night and gent in a habit so I fill calm every day

Day 1

I need to get better restorative sleep and work on getting rid of headaches. I also need to stop worrying so much.

Beginning

I need to make this an every night ritual. I feel better. I feel calmer and a little more relaxed. I am looking forward to this each night.

Relaxing my Mind and body by breathing

I tried to do this meditation focusing on the sensation of my in breath. I also tried to truly empty my lungs have a exhaled. I found this practice completely relaxing then I nearly fell asleep while doing it . My mind frequently wanders. As a result , I constantly find myself having to relax my mind and refocus my attention. After doing this practice, I believe it will help me resume focus when necessary. I will definitely continue to use this technique to clear my mind in the future.

Angels

I thought about my friend Lois, she is a true Angel of God. God puts people in our lives for a reason. I only know one Angel , maybe two. Maybe 3.

Calmness

I’m learning to close my eyes and focus on my breathing. I love Dorothy Ratusney’s voice as she leads me into meditation and calmness.

I noticed the movements of my body during my long breaths.

I learned that I can focus on the inner body to relax. It felt calming to think about the small movements of my body as I breathe.

4/21/21

I noticed that I could show my exhale down but that I wanted to open up on my inhale right away. My mind went to school and how I can share this with my students. I'm not sure that is being present but I do think it would benefit them. I like the Journaling idea afterwards.

I noticed

I noticed how much of an effect that my breathing has on my calmness.

Stillness

Slowing my breathing can assist in allowing myself to find true stillness.

A quiet mind is a blessed mind

To focus on my breathing internally to allow my mind to quiet myself

Day 1

I felt calm. Relaxed. Being able to just sit I'm this moment and breath, take a break reminded me how much I need this. I need me time. It is essential to my overall well being.

I get that I was being noticed without screaming at anyone exactly. I’m allowing myself to breathe etc without complaint from me personally!

I learned that I can take my own deep breaths when I need to regardless of what else is happening in my day to day life...

I love to join this ,really ,

I learned this, And I’ll try my best to make a good deal with this one By the way , thanks for this message

Perfect Still

The sounds of the water can relax you fast!! The birds sound so peaceful and calm! Trying something new is always exciting!!!

I felt lonely and sad

I learn that my breathing helps me come down. My eyes where restless and shoulders contracted. My hands ride. This session helped to relaxed my body.

I was feeling relief

Concentrating on breath creates calmness. I truly realize that.

Today

I need to take time to close my eyes and breathe so I can quiet my thoughts and just be still.

SOOOOO needed this!

i really needed these few minutes of peace and quiet. i needed the calmness.

Calmness

Today I haven’t feeling the best due to stress and having a cold. This meditation helped get rid of the stress and worry I have about not only my health, my stress of my mom leaving to go to Nova Scotia for a week and me having take of my pets while she’s gone

I am smiling now and feel very calm an peaceful ❤️

It helped me to calm my mind and release tension from my body. Beautiful meditation. I am feeling relaxed and happy in a very calm way.

Good experience

I never realized that taking just a couple of minutes out from whatever you’re doing can calm your mind that much. Excellent!!! One question though, and I have no idea if anyone else goes through this, but when inhaling, I feel this pressure halfway through, as though I have to push through some sort of barrier to take a full breath!

Breathing

I can relax as a concentrated on inhaling and exhaling for longer and deeper

Health

I have been struggling with palpitations likely from exhaustion and I have found that sometimes these most simple seeming exercises help momentarily free me from both the palpitations and the health concerns they bring. Thank you.

First Session

Soft, smooth, calming voice. I instantly relaxed and reached a partial comatose state. Amazing!

calm

this meditation was very good at bringing me a sense of calmness. lately my brain has been a bit scattered, so attending to my breaths and really feeling what is happening to me on the inside helped a lot :)

Not alone

I learned that I’m not the only one struggling with health concerns that the anxious feelings exaggerate.

I noticed

A calming sensation! I needed this today! I will embrace all that I’d offered for my wellness

Choosing what works

I learned video games help me escape (what I was doing); but don’t create presence and resolution like a few minutes of meditation did. 🙏🏽

Breathing

I learned about calmness Breathing and focusing on breathing calmed my mind I had no racing thoughts Just now

Peaceful

The deep breathing helped slow my mind down and gave me a sense of peace.

Sinking

I’ve never felt so low and helpless. My body always feels like it’s buzzing….keeping me awake. Constant buzzing and I felt it in my shoulders and neck. I feel like my head and chest are going to be crushed under the weight of all these relentless problems. Everyone around seems to be having an easier go at things than myself

It is similar to chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyiv, except that after chanting the grounding is much stronger

Nam Myoho Renge Kyo is a powerful chant to change your destiny through faith in your own Buddha nature.

Awareness

I learned that I can take back control of my life through focusing on my breathing when I begin to be overwhelmed by the mental, physical, emotional, and financial struggles that have been consuming me lately. This focus brings me the awareness that it’s not true that there is ‘nothing’ I can do about these challenges in my life. And this awareness, brings with it a clarity, that is helping me to deal with these issues!

Closer to God Brings Peace

I learned that calmness and meditation and allowing my focus to be on Christ during these sessions brings peace and confidence that God will always take care of my needs.

Calmness of the mind and body

I felt very calm and relaxed and my thoughts slowed down during this.

A humanbeing is Breathing naturally

It is nice to be in a quiet space solitary undisturbed and finding my breath following it in expending. So many lovely cues. Ease of breathing is ever a wonder

Calm

Knowing myself as a calm person I still don’t always go slow and often feel my “engine revved up” at some imaginary starting line ready to go. Not calm. Physically Tense. Mentally Focused. Tight. Strung tightly. Not much breath. So breath here just knocks all those body and mind senses aside, tipping them over, almost erasing them. That is fresh renewed open.

I felt a bit less unfocused and a with a bit less of tension.

Found myself leaving the exercise and wander through thoughts that weren’t related…

I felt totally relaxed and focused. Usually my mind wanders and I feel that I have failed a session, however this time I stayed on track.

I just need to fall into the meditation process rather than force it to happen.

Meditation

I was tensed and after my second session of meditation I felt relieved a little.

Calm

This meditation allowed me to have no thoughts but a quiet mind with inner focus.

Focused breathing really calmed my anxiety . It helped to quiet my mind.

Sometimes you have to slow down and just breath. I’m fearful of things I cannot control . I need to work on letting go of the fear and control and take back my life.
