Different Sensations

Observational/body

I really liked the simplicity and ease of this one. The instructor has a calm and soothing voice-- very effective.

Calming, quieting.

I learned that it’s helpful to let go of trying to remember what I learned. 😉I learned how great it is to focus on sensations in the body to quiet and focus the mind. I learned how wonderful it can be to quietly focus your attention on difficult feelings without judgement or struggle to explain or resolve. Just being aware of the raw, unlabeled emotions, curious and compassionate. Breathing and appreciating tactile sensations in the body. I enjoyed this meditation very much. 😊

It leaves me at peace, always. Soon I'll be able to be at peace more easily, I love this app ♥️

I learned that every time I'm in a bad mood or sad I can quickly change that meditating with the app, something that I couldn't do a few days ago. I'm learning a lot to control my thoughts.

I need to pay more attention

When I pay better attention to my body...when I give myself the attention I deserve...I feel more confident, stable. Not to mention it helps me tremendously with my posture. I love feeling the subtle nuisances of each part of myself. It helps me feel grounded and at home in my body.

Mental and physical connection

Deep, slow breathing and focus on the sensations within my body was calming, centering my mind to start the day. Very positive feelings.

My body

I learned that consciously connecting my mind, breathing and body raised the quality and focus of my meditation

feeling

by focusing on my physical feelings i wasn't overwhelmed by emotions

Different sensations

I didn't understand this meditation at all. I was lying still and yet it was asking me to connect with Any movement. Then with Any moisture or dryness. Sorry but I just didn't get it.

I liked this

It brought me more into my body and got me out of my head. It felt longer than three minutes but in a good way.

love feeling the weight of my body

feeling the weight of my body and points of contact between me and my physical surroundings is so grounding

Great cues for deep body awareness

I liked this exercise. Very specific prompts cool/warm, dryness/moisture really helped me take interest and discover sensation. I usually meditate when I want to let go of negative mind chatter. Today I have a lot of excited positive mind chatter. Interesting how hard it is to let go of that. And my growing Awareness of the mind chatter actually helps me see the "positive" chatter as really similar to the negative for the purposes of stilling the mind. Really fascinating!

Loved this

Movement was a great cue for me, timed perfectly, bc I had been able to notice and quiet everything else. When the cue came for movement, I immediately felt my heart beating!

Reconnect

I listened during a cool down on my treadmill and every word was spot on and allowed me to reconnect with my body. Going to be a great day!

Day 8

All the lil things that you body does when your still but it's hard to explain on a physical plane... feeling micro bubbles popping the sensations of cells moving... then a strong thankfully feeling takes over like the body said "you do notice" a Thank you or thank god! 🙂😁😌😅 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Today

I learned that I could connect with different parts of my body in a focused and intentful way.

.

There are so many more things to be aware of than thoughts. Listening to your body is so much more important than I realised and I have learnt to do this more

Paying Attention

Paying attention & focusing actually makes the time go faster. I thought I just started by the time the session ended! 😊

Sensations are precious

I'm grateful to be able to feel all the sensations. I feel at peace with my self and really appreciate just sitting down and breathing. Makes me feel calmer after all the negativity I had during the day. Thank you!

Looking forward for next session.

Realize some parts of my body aches. Was a little distract cause its my first time.

Meditation 1

I learned that being mindful isn't just being aware of sensations within the body, but of sensations to do with and on the body as well.

It’s ok to let your thoughts come out

I’m good deep down inside I love am loved have fears and hopes

Being mindful of myself

When I signed up for Aura, I guess I thought of mindfulness as being mindful of others. Not really my own skin and body. Thank you.

Tense!

I learned that my body held a lot of tension especially through his shoulders and the lower back.

The heaven

Outside and inside, where ever when now not later the hell that is here is behind a heaven that has always been

Sitting Relaxing.

As I'm sitting here relaxing hearing myself breathing. I have already had a full day. And I'm still feeling good and going strong. I am reflecting on how I was faced with a Difficult Situation. Somebody did something to me A couple months back that wasn't there a very nice. And I didn't even know that person so what I did was I knew I was going to be seeing that person often not by choice. So as I would see the person I would pretend like the person did not exist or not at all be rude to them because that's not my character. I could clearly see that the person is definitely miserable and as they say misery loves company. But today person been miserable said something out loud and I told her excuse me. I just wanted to let you know that I remember the first day that I met you and how you treated me Thank you. I saw and her face light up. I know I made her day. She didn't even realize that she was mean to me the first day I met her but that's OK.

The Senses

Sensations are the bodies way of connecting to our environment, thus our senses may be used to guide us back to the present and help us to regain focus on the now when we find ourselves lost in thought pollution.

Connection

Connecting with your body and knowing it doesn’t sum you up, but is rather a medium to link and engage with this beautiful world is something important to understand. sending you all lots of love xx

In touch

The cool night breeze stirs slowly in my hair, I breathe the damp air, my body is connected to the world around me.

Different sensation

As I laid down on my bed listening to the different sensation I learned about all the different sensation in my body warm ,cold , hard soft. I do feel frustrated sometimes but I take nice deep slow breaths to help me relax. Have a good day everyone.💞

Different sensations

Today I learned how to truly focus my mind on different sensations. Really paying attention to each one. It did calm my mind since the focus kept my mind from wandering. Thank you Lyndi

Physical sensations

I learned that merely recognizing physical sensations can be very relaxing.

Different Sensations

WOW...I had no idea that there were so many sensations going on in my body all at once! What a marvel our brains and central nervous systems truly are.🤔 Thanks for this awareness, Lyndi 🙏🏻

Sensations

The little impact on one's body can be all the difference in their perception of reality

Sensations

There are so many sensations impacting your body at one time. I would like to take this a step further and try to calm some of the sensations.

Centered

I can control my environment with breathe and meditation. I can still breathe through my mouth although my sinuses are stuffed. The meditation distracted from my sickness.

Different Sensations

I downloaded this practice being sorry I didn’t choose the 7 minute version for my daily session, just fabulous!!

Return to Balance

Important to reconnect with yourself through mind, body, and spirit. The most important meeting of the day is to reconnect with your breath and yourself like.

I totally agree with Janna. Feeling the sensations

Is only part of the process, calming them is very important too. Glad you said that.

Why can’t I find my comment? Is it not long enou

to be accepted. I guess so. I just got a message. Still wants more. Enough is enough!

Change is not easy

I'm trying to be more mindful with food and I'm hungry right now but it's late and so I thought I'd best to meditate. I believe the reason I have slipped previously is that I expected it to be easier than it is, and in the moments I do overcome and make progress my ego steps in and ruins my progress. It's a funny balance. Goodnight world.

Focusing on bodily sensations

I learned that it is ok to stop thinking and just settle into where my body is here and now, even if it’s just for those three minutes. Feeling instead of thinking, I need to focus more on that. 🙏🏻

Paying attention

I learned that it is important to take a moment to pay attention to my body. This enables me to get a good sense of physical self.

You

At the start and end of the day, you have you. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

2

I learned that not every meditation comes up easily. Today, I find it very difficult to meditate due to my clogged nose and the slow connection to the internet.

Different Sensations

How amazing to realized that even while still there is so much going on with your body. This is something I will definitely take into my daily busyness- stop, overview and focus in. Loved it!

Elements

I️ learned that noticing all the different elements of pressure, weight, warmth, coolness, contact, etc., of the body helps to distract my thinking mind.

Anxiety

Keeps my mind racing and my body moving. Meditation slows my thoughts by focusing in body movements. My body slows. My mind focuses.

Sensations

Good to reconnect and get into my body rather than bro b in my head. Felt the sensations all over my body

Friendship

How to like myself.... I always thought I could miss something. But how? I am cool and here, always been! I was blind.

Sensational

Gotta know your surroundings and just breathe. Know all the sensations are leaving and you're breathing new life.

We can get so lost in our thoughts

That we lose connection with our physical environment. I hadn’t really considered this before.

Still

Stillness allows me to quiet my inner voice and just be aware of sounds, and body sensations

37/365

In this meditation I learned the different sensations and how they feel throughout my body when I’m breathing and doing my meditations for the day. I enjoyed focusing it on my abdomen and experiencing how it made me feel relaxed

Notice the sensations.

Just quick little check-ins are all that’s needed to bring me back to the current moment. The sensations matter more than the worry. Just listen to my body. She knows how to heal.

Preventing Escape

I am having real difficulty keeping my mind on my body nowadays. I would attribute it to my general sadness but my thoughts are always random and inconsequential. I still appreciate meditation, as makes me take stock of both my physical self and my mental self.

Feel

Appreciate every sensation that your body has. Feel the warmth, coolness, wetness, dryness, and every other sensation that you can possibly feel.

Couldn't pay attention

This one totally lost me. I guess this was one I wouldn't want to repeat. I was thinking there was only one hard contact location and I was sitting on it; no I wasn't wet—why would I be wet? And yes I'm dry but does she mean too dry like my skin; that tingling sensation is me waiting to be done with this. LOL I'm older than a lot of you now and have learned this isn't a failure or success, it just is.

Escape

Tuning in to bodily sensations is such a sweet escape from racing mind.

Different Sensations

It felt good to escape from things that are current stressors in my life. At those moments of meditation I had no thoughts of any stressors.

First Day

I learned that even two minutes can help you relax. Also, that focusing on specific sensations can open up your mind, which seems almost counterintuitive, but it’s true.

1st day

Today I learned that just relaxing can calm me and help me fall asleep.

Connecting with body

Today i learned that by slowing down and closing my eyes can help me connect more with my body

Different sensations

i really liked this one. i found that focusing on different parts of your body was very calming.

Day 1

Today I realized that your body feels so many different sensations all at one time but we never take the time to feel all of these sensations. With this session, I did and I loved it.

Relaxed an sleepy

Learned how to relax an tap into my inner self. It left me feels my sleepy an relaxed.

Stressed

This session helped me relieve stress, and relieve any pressure from around me.

when I bite into a York peppermint...

I get the sensation of a puppy’s wet nose nudging me gently to pet him, the unconditional look of innocent anticipation in his beautiful brown eyes the thrumming vibration of a kitten, fast asleep on my lap, light as a feather, soft as silk, curled up snugly the fresh smell of my daughter’s hair as I kiss the top of her head good night

The body

The world has certain beauty standards that alter our perception of ourselves but that doesn’t mean it has to be my standards as well.

refocusing

refocused myself so that i am in me and in the present and not dissociating

i felt a calmness in my head and my thoughts slowed down

i learned that my body can calm down after a long day and that i am able to find my center after stress has taken over me.

I've noticed

I get very lost in my memories when I do this relaxation. Try this one and you'll love it. It takes your mind away from all the worries around you that are happening. It brings you to the past and all the good times you've had. It makes you feel comfortable and happy.

Focus on sensations in the present

I always love her voice, so calming. I noticed that I could focus quite easily today. By focussing on the sensations of the body my thoughts didn’t wander. I feel zen and ready for bed. Goodnight everyone ✨

Short and simple practice

I've been noticing my body more and more lately...I'm concerned because I'm having some follow-up deterioration stemming from my massive stroke...my left leg has basically been pins-and-needles since the event, and lately, my left arm has been likewise losing feeling, and having that ”dead” sensation...I'm quite unhappy about this, but I understand that it’s not my body having issues...its a part if my brain which has died causing these sensations! I WISH there were something which could be done to ”fix” this issue, but I know there is nothing which can be done...this is just my body now, and I have to learn to live with it. 😢

Different Sensations

I enjoyed this quick “checking in with the body” meditation. Such a great and easy way to bring ourselves back to the present moment when necessary. ♥️

Hurry... always in such a hurry

I am tempted to make a decision without allowing myself to see if this practice could make a difference... even at my own peril.

Day 3? 4? I️ think 4.

There’s more than one way to get in touch with my body. By feeling different sensations my mind didn’t wander so much.

I felt relaxed

I can focus And replete things in my head to increase the speed

Day 1

I noticed that after the meditation, I feel much more relaxed and lighter than before. I think going to bed with this feeling will make my sleep much better :)

At Rebecca’s

I can’t even sit still for a minute and a half before I reach for my phone to do something. I really need to figure out this meditation!

Meditation

Guided meditation is nice to have a guide but also slightly distracting having to listen to someone speak

Surprising twist: focusing on sensations that caused anxiety also lessened it

I thought that being more aware of my body sensations would only increase anxiety, considering that my stress is correlated to physical symptoms I’m feeling. I was surprised to feel a substantial decrease in anxiety after 3 minutes of focusing on these very sensations.

Meditation

Feeling all of the different sensations throughout my body allows a sense of release within the hectic environment of my mind.

relaxing

it's nice to meditate and it's nice to be one with nature and hear them and hear the birds singing and all

Beginning (6-21-19)

I listened to one 4 minute long video and already feel a little better inside :) life feels good at the moment and I want to cherish every second with laughter and smiles :)

First session

There are many sensations to the body that we aren’t aware of. And to keep body awareness in my mind throughout the day to keep myself grounded.

sensitive awareness

I can understand thinking of regular kinds of sensations within, but I usually never take the time during the day to stop and notice them. becoming aware of my sensations and the senses opens up a new perspective for me that hopefully will help me become more aware of the world around me.

I’ve learned that we need to control our sensations

I love the sound, that guides me to different part of body, like exploring an island. Where the warmth and coolness is, where the moisture and wetness is, I find them. Then they are unifying as a whole. I like this connection.

I learned to relax and let all my worries and stress out by using my mind

Let go of scary thoughts

I learned that we can let go of scary thoughts about sensations we feel. Some sensations can be scary, but if we let go of our thoughts about those sensations, then we feel less scared. Just notice the sensations without judgement.

Hanging...

I felt the 3 min version was enough to get me started on opening my awareness of different sensations, but kind of left me hanging. I will try the 7 min version next time. I do enjoy her voice though. Very soft & relaxing! ❤️❓🍀

Great Body Awareness Practice

Simple, and easy to continue on my own, although I definitely needed the calming voice to get me started.

I still love this app

I like love this app I already said that but I’m showing you guys more I love it and I will never let go of it I’m never ever going to delete this app is ultimate I think ultimate it helps me calm down now it’s 8:44 PM the same day Tuesday, February 4 I just love it 

Mentally exploring

This taught me to take time for bringing awareness to my body. It is a simple, yet effective, way to discover sensations.

I’m falling into the method of meditation a little easier than before.

That it helps to keep me centered and brings me back to a peaceful state of mind. I should do it more often, everyday at least. Mornings and evenings. It helps my anxiety.

Post Shower Mindfulness

There’s a stillness at night. Hearing the wind outside. Noticing the footsteps upstairs. Paying attention to different sensations in the body allow me to be present.

Wow tension gone

I learned that you can still have your eyes open and be aware of your body. Feeling the sensation throughout my body I didn’t realize until I mediate that there was tension in my hands and feet and neck. Once I began to realize I began to relax.

Nody calm

I learned that paying attention to different parts of the body helps with calmness

Awareness

I did feel more aware of each sensation she described. The moisture one was tough but I noticed moisture in my mouth.

Reconnect

There is something about meditating that always helps reconnect yourself to your own emotions to your mind, body, and soul. That spiritual connecting makes me feel at peace with myself whenever I lose track of my own emotions or whenever I feel like my world is a falling to pieces

Different Sensation

I have felted some sensation in my body stress and depressed emotions I have been feeling this week with my boyfriend. We broken up this past weekend. I’ve really felted so devastated and heartbroken 💔.

Breathing

I tend to take shallow breaths. I need to breathe deeply. Focus on breath.
