Focus the breath, focus the mind
Loved this one! The wave metaphor really helped me to calm down my breathing. Thanks, Lauren!

A wonderful tool
"We (every one of us) have a wonderful tool for working with the waves of life" - and our guide in this meditation has a lovely, mellifluous voice that gently reminds us to use it. "Breathe, pause at the top of the inhale ..." Yes. A wonderful tool. Overlooked sometimes because it seems too simple. But the best tools are. May your day out on the ocean of life be a lovely one ๐Ÿ™‚

Settle my breathing
I learned that focusing my mind on my breath can soothe and slow the thoughts of everything I worry about. It's a great tool, and the wave metaphor was a perfect visual.

Calming my breath
I learned that calming my breath can take away the stress of the moment. It is helpful for me to get to my routine again.

Day 7
This one may have been my favorite so far. It made me feel less pressure, and reminded me that I have to go with the flow. This meditation let me know that the waves in my mind and life are a completely normal part of my human experience. It made it seem less scary or as big of a problem when seen in that light.

Waves
I like the image of waves you can't stop. The goal is to not let the wave take you. Watch it and let it wash over you.

Steady breath brings cintrol
I learned that the first thing to control the mind is to have a steady breathing. All rest will follow. A steady breath does not allow a monkey mind - it is almost mechanic
