Finding Peace

Finding Peace

The areas of my body that are painful are drawing my awareness from those areas that are not. Thank you for reminding me to focus and be grateful for the quiet parts of myself. This approach aided me in finding peace through that awareness and through my natural breathing.

Funny

Honey is so distracting. Reminder to probably not meditate around her. But it gave Jason and I a laugh so I guess that reduces stress. I also had to fart and holding that in was challenging but I let myself have the thoughts

Respite

Meditation is a respite from my stress. It helps. I have nothing more to say.

Finding peace

Nice meditation for the morning. Focusing your attention on something in my body that feels good is a great way to distract me from something that is not feeling good.

My breath is an anchor

I can come back to my breath at anytime. It is the one thing I don’t have to control. I can let go and let it do its thing.

Finally Some Type Of Relief

i learned that meditation is truly one great way to help relieve my stress .

Inhale exhale

Tomorrow is exam day!!!! Thats all i needed relax let go and let god

Day 2

I learned that it’s okay to have thoughts while meditating, but rather than think on those that are stressing me out, I can ignore them or focus on breathing.

Finding peace

Using simple technique of breathing in and out as a way of focus to remove the stress elements.

Today

I learned that the natural rhythm of my breath can be a comfort.

Movement

As a yoga practitioner, it feels natural to me to incorporate movements with the breath. A prayer necklace works well for small meditation movements.

Breathing is an anchor

If I remember it (by habit) then 70 percent of stress will be gone - particularly during human interactions. 'anchor' is an excellent metaphor. Please re-recird this session with more slow speech, and louder. Great. Thanks!

Chilly Thursday 2-8-18

This meditation would be good done in like while you were submerged in a bathtub and focusing on your breathing, so that’s what I pretended. I also focused on my hands and what was around me. Thank you, Aura! Have a nice day, Everyone!😀

I learned that it is OK

I learned that it is OK when thoughts come to the front of your mind during meditation. That I can always fall back on the rhythm of breathing to stay in meditation. To relax. To take time.

Relax MrsJ

Being calm, relaxing, focused, and in meditation will give you some clarity and relax every part of the body, now I have a lot of work to be done but my biggest goal is to have a better thought process.

Thoughts are not the enemy

I loved that this one is about how its ok to have thoughts, as long as we dont let them run the show.

Morning joy

I find that the morning is the most challenging yet most rewarding time to heal ourselves. It’s the time before the day’s business settles in. Before our minds start being over occupied. Waking up just 20-30 minutes ahead can make a day’s worth of difference.

Art

While mediating, I decided to use this era of Chaos to produce art. I’ve been trying to set my mind into doing it for a very long time. New life lessons are on the horizon and I think I should make a record this way. Today was sad and out of control. I’m going to continue to reel it back in and be more motivated to find discipline. I’m moving this weekend.

day 3

i learned that i find it very peaceful to focus on my breathing and it start doing that when i feel very overwhelmed or stressed

This meditation about finding peace in my body helped me to realize where I carry a lot of my stress. I always wondered why my trapezius muscles hurt and now I think it’s because of my stress levels. I will try to work on breathing and stretching to relieve that pain

Today

Breathing happens on its own.. I find peace in knowing that’s one less thing to worry about! If I get overwhelmed... I will focus on breathing and the comfort I find in it...

Stopping

Stopping and breathing is vital. Slow down and shift your attention to your heart and breath. You will notice a difference.

Just want to find a way to relax and be able to work on how I react to my surroundings.

Breathing exercises are so helpful. Cant wait to learn more and become more committed to do meditation as part of my life.

Body Peace

I usually focus on soul or mind peace. It was good to acknowledge my body can also be, or not be, at peace. Namaste

Stressed

To just relax and let everything pass through the mind I felt really relaxed and wasn’t concentrating on anything

Breathing

I found it really relaxing to just focus on your breathing and let everything else out of your mind.

3.13.18

today was a rough day, and i do not want to go back to school tomorrow, but i have no choice. :( finding peace on the aura app taught me how to breathe and watch my breathing pace whenever i start to get stressed out or find myself feeling a lot of anxiety.

Ugh

I’m finding it difficult to be happy at work. Im hoping this practice will keep me focused and able to make it through to less stressful days.

Stress down

Focusing on stress free part of the body can give you a sense of what a stress free mind and body and soul can be like. A little thing but helpful

First session

I learned that it can be relaxing to meditate and I can do it.

Slowing my breathing

The slower methodical breathing pattern almost puts me to sleep. I could use a nap today.

Tranquility

Overthinking and stressing over little things in life put a dent in my day to day activities. Taking a few moments to pay attention to my breathing became a vital exercise for me. Throughout this meditation I was able to release tension in my body, mind, and soul. I felt more at ease and I found peace within it.

Sync

I felt like my body was relaxed and in sync with my mind. My breath, my heartbeat, my belly, all as in one calm moment. I hope to carry this with the rest of my day 🕉

Relax

I was reminded that it’s more important to enjoy each moment than it is to stress about whether I’m spending that moment wisely.

yup

It prepared me for a beautiful day, nothing can hinder my happiness, not even myself

Thinking Less

I learned that it’s okay to take 3 minutes out of my day to relax and not think 😌🙏

Realease

Learned to let go and unwind releasing the tightness upon waking

More focus

I’m able to focus more. Just being aware of myself and my body in the moments.

Healing

Taking 3 minutes to pay attention to how I feel and my breathing can offer me some healing

The good studf

There is always something positive to focus on. Consciously shifting thoughts into this light, positive space shifts my entire perspective and changes my physiology- slower heart rate, deeper breathing.

Finding Peace

I recognize that I can use the breath as an anchor throughout my day. The aim is not to shut off my thoughts, but to not let them run the show all the time.

I noticed that practice during work helps keep me calm and focused. Anxiety is still a major part of

My workday. Mindfulness helps manage my emotions when I feel overwhelmed

I felt tired

I learned that self control is better and I should no how to take care of it and I can’t just go and do things Because I feel like it I need to see the full picture.

Peace

Jiva, splendid! Lose imaginary realities, unhook thoughts! What now? Right now. Thanks.

focus

during this meditation i encountered many feelings and thoughts, but throughout it i kept going back and focusing on my breaths which helped me steady myself again :)

Breathe is an anchor, you can return to at any time

I liked focusing on a part of my body that felt okay or good. It was nice just breathe and let distractions go

Half Full

Uplifting to focus on the parts of the body that feel OK. A lot to be thankful for. Namaste

Peace within my body

I learned that I can achieve a sense of peace in my body,by focusing on my breath , and then moving my attention to a relaxed part of my body. I have a disability and moving my body takes a lot of Effort. I am hopeful for using this technique to find peace in my body will make movement easier. Thank you for this practice.

Small peaceful morning meditation

I learned that no matter what, if you just try to focus on your breathing that is grounded, things will follow suit. I love these short and peaceful meditations to get me started for the day.

Glad to be here

There won’t be breakthrough or Ah Ha moments everyday. Most days I’ll be holding fast where I am enjoying just being. Simply allow the breakthroughs to happen.

Peace

This was a nice reminder that the breath is the anchor of peace in you body. Use it

Easy

Finding resting in the easy places the “ok” places is a gift a permission that counters all my triggers of pain stiffness searching I usually do

Finding peace

Letting go my thought's flow about my life is not that easy. Usually I manage to do it but today I couldn't

Peace

Using the breath as an anchor to let go of worry and fear. I need to keep breathing, it will be okay

Somehow reduced my pain???!!!

I found that as I focused on places that felt okay, places that didn’t feel okay, started to feel more and more okay until it was all background and not so forefront as it was at the start of this meditation. It’s a few minutes later and the pain is still reduced from what it was. I don’t know if this is normal or just something that happened randomly, but it was absolutely wonderful and completely unexpected. I love Jiva’s work always, if I’m having a particularly hard day she’s the person I look for a meditation or story from anyways. But tonight was just phenomenal, even more than usual. First time listening to this one and I’m so glad I did 5 star rating for sure! Thank you Jiva!!

Pain

I am feeling emotional pain and to shift my focus to my physical pain and releasing that brought peace and calm into both my body and mind.

emotions

sadly my emotions were so overwhelming today that it was really hard to focus on my meditation :(
