Grounded Morning

Grounded

our bodies work in amazing ways. taking time to sit and reflect on that is very important

What a way to start the day!

I love this one! Never get tired of practicing with Lauren. Even tho short by meditation practice standards, this one takes me in immediately and I'm sorry when we're done! Happy Grounded Morning!

Good Morning!

I continue to come back to this meditation 🧘‍♂️ morning after morning. I have learned to appreciate the serene tranquility that I receive from waking up a couple of hours before the sun☀️ rises. It has become my favorite time of the day. I get to spend quality time alone with myself; whether reflecting on my past, nurturing my spirit & my soul, and/or designing my day to achieve my goals. By the time the sun is starting to peek above the horizon with its bright & beautiful morning light, I have indeed become grounded in my morning. This has taught me to enjoy each & every moment in the present, because there is no certainty I will have another moment after this one.

Grounded is an understatement.

This meditation made me feel so centered and so calm, that by the end, I began to feel like I could feel tingles in my limbs as I drew attention to them. When I opened my eyes, I felt so relaxed; everything felt so still. I couldn’t even deny the small smile of appreciation for this practice opening me up to a deeper sense of tranquility and awareness. I think I’ll add this to my morning meditation routine.💛☀️

“Ground control to Major...”

They had started the day at 4:30AM in France Hadn’t missed a connection She had been texting me at each milestone In the Paris Airport she sent a photo of a $75,000.00 Rolex in a shop window I thought about what my grandfather always said, “Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.” In Atlanta, with only one more short flight to go, they encountered a mechanical delay turned out the pilot’s seat had a broken spring and had to be replaced “What are the odds?”, I smiled to myself, imagining a rotund aviator with four gold bars sewn on each of the shoulders of his starched white shirt attempting to squeeze his immensity into the confined space of the cockpit and then finally plopping down with a “BOING!”... I pulled into the airport parking lot around 9:00pm and let out a sigh of relief as I caught sight of them walking up from the gate, past the security stations and into my arms. By the time we pulled in the driveway it was almost eleven, which felt like 5:00AM to my travel-weary girls. “Home, Home, where I wanted to go” - C.P.

The best meditation that i had so far!!

I’ve tried 2 meditations before this one and still didn’t feel like i got what i need to start my day. This one is perfect!

Grounded morning

I listened to this because of the comments from another community member and I’m so glad I did. This is now one of my favorite meditations! I could really feel a difference in my body as she guided my attention from one area to another. I’ve never felt much of a connection to my body before, so this was a positive experience. Comments really make a difference!

Grounded morning

I can switch feelings and actually feel a shift from the left side of my body to the right

Completely effective!

I didn’t realize this meditation would be a seven minute long body scan and I am so grateful that it was. I am just now getting started with my day bc I needed to get some extra zzz’s. This is a wonderful body scan it is so completely effective in relaxing if you don’t let your mind wander. Just what I needed to begin my day. Thanks, Lauren🙏

Grounded morning

This practice really helped me stay focused. No breath work. Just working on noticing each side of your body separately. For some reason this really grabbed my attention and I was able to really focus. Great start to my day. Thanks Lauren.

Grounded Morning

In this meditation, you feel your body from the inside out. Your mind is focused and calm. This meditation is a wonderful way to begin your day!

Dropping Down

Starting the morning by dropping down into my own body and feeling every aspect of it is extremely grounding. It’s comforting and allows one to find their place in the world physically.

Brain scan

I’ve never focused on my brain before yet it is so important. I loved the part where you move your attention from the left side to the right side. Good meditation.

Right and left

I’ve never focused on my right and left brain related to the opposite parts of by body. It felt like a deep and true connection.

Nice meditation

I found it surprisingly easy and focusing at the same time.

Good Morning 🌞

This morning I immediately jumped into starting my to do list instead of my usual morning ritual of enjoying coffee and Aura. This left me feeling a little anxious. After listening to Lauren’s soothing voice as she has you exploring each side of your body left me feeling calm and centered.

I didn’t expect to find feelings there

Going through the right side I was really surprised to find what came to the forefront of my mind was the loss of an old friend, and the resentments about feeling disappointed and abandoned. Thankful for the grounding words here because I think it was helpful to reground, process and try to sit with but also let go of those hot feelings. The balance on the left side helped a lot. Definitely going to do this practice again.

Grounded

This is a fantastic way to start the day! I love Lauren’s guided meditations.

Grounding

I love this meditation. I’m on a bus with a high school group and they’re chattering away and I still was able to stay with it and feel the grounding. Thank you Lauren for this wonderful session!

Right brain left brain

Amazing exercise helping waken body and awareness. Right brain/left side super cool

Separating...

Great way to start the day. Scanning one side of the body at a time and tying it to the appropriate side of the brain made me aware of both my Body & my Brain. Tying both sides together made me aware of my Mind & my Spirit. I feel complete and ready to live a most productive & fun day! Thanks Lauren! ❤️🙏🍀

New Morning Routine

Great way to start the day! I feel alert and awake and happy. It is simple, but effective. A new favorite!!

Grounded

When we are grounded, we feel “at home”. In this wonderful meditation, Lauren has us do a grounding exercise to do that incorporates our entire Being; our body, mind and spirit. Becoming still, I became aware of my body. I activated the left side of my brain and became aware of the right side of my body, from my fingers, to my face and head, and down to my toes. Then, I activated the right side of my brain and became aware of the left side of my body, feeling my fingers, my face and my head, and all the way down to my toes. Next, I activated and became aware of my brain as a whole, feeling any sensations that arose. Finally, I became visualized a line from the middle of my brain down to my root. With each new breath I took, I began feeling a sense of aliveness growing from deep within my spirit. After listening, my mind is calm, clear and my energy has been recharged! I am now ready for anything that comes my way! Thank you, Lauren! Namaste 🙏🏻❤️☮️

Body Scan

Scanning one side of the body at a time and tying it to the appropriate part of the brain was an interesting experience. I felt more of a connection on my right side than left side. Great meditation to begin start the day with. I am ready to get my day started. Let’s make it a great day!

In touch

I am so refreshed after this meditation. Even though I do it first thing in the morning, I feel so bright, relaxed, and ready for my day. I love this meditation.

Grounded

Great morning grounding body scan. I liked doing the sides separate. I feel very grounded and ready to start my day.

Grounded

Im dealing with alot right now and being able to focus on myself and on grounding myself was a welcomed distraction. I feel calm, relaxed, and ready for a productive day.

Feeling distracted.

Today, I’m feeling a bit pulled in too many directions and wanted to get focused bring my attention back to watch important. I know I have many priorities that have to be completed and being focused and centered helps me release the overwhelm

Birthday time of year...

that means stress to feel good in my body as per usual, I don’t. Feb is a dark, cold fat month. So I will begin to let the control to feel better at a certain weight/size. And it just happens on its own. It’s kinda funny.

Grounding

I noticed that I feel a lot better released negative energy that no longer serves me any purpose.

Needed this meditation today

Some days we are just more attuned to receive. Today I was very attuned to this meditation and could clearly visualize the body scan. I feel more grounded and aware of my body.

Love the opening music to the track and its a lovely way to start the day

I can focus on my breath to keep focused . Just what I needed today and Tom’s voice is very soothing ‘ Thank you

Just what I needed

I’ve been feeling pulled from all directions and this is exactly what I needed this morning, feeling so much better already. I’m now ready to take the world now thank you

Symmetrical, Radiate, Still

This session is a Gem. This will help you be aware of your body, your breathing, and your mind. Beautiful holistic practice that guides you through a calm visualization.

Good morning

This is a great morning body, muscle, and brain workout. It allowed me to wake up my body and be aware of my place in the rest of my day. To be aware,

First day

Working both sides of the brain at the same time for each side of the body.

Morning body scan

This morning I woke up with some anxious energy. I know that bringing it back to the body is so important especially when I’m stuck in my anxious thought trance. I appreciate the opportunity to check in with my body during this simple meditation ✌🏻

Just what I needed

I woke up feeling scattered. I’d intended to use the meditation that starts before I get out of bed. When I opened the app, my mind and body were immediately drawn to the word grounding. Scanning my body in this way truly helped bring me to present moment and not so much in my head. Connecting left brain to right side and vice versa created a balanced sensation. I noticed shifting left back to right was a little slower. Connecting all with my center line was the most powerful. I felt waves of warmth, head to toe and gratitude for receiving this gift to start my day.

My Body

Whoa. I needed that session! My tense shoulders eased up as I scanned and became aware of my main body parts. I appreciated each part and became aware of the wholeness that is me. Life is good - I am alive. Thanks!

Grounded morning

Conscious breathing and not thinking about it helps my anxiety and let’s me ground myself lately hasn’t been an easy time but breathing really helps

Sensation of calm and ready

During this second time using this meditation, I was more aware of the line down the middle as a gentle anchor or tether at the beginning and the cord around which the two sides intertwined at the end. Feeling calm and ready for the day.

Light wake and gratitude

Woke up and tried this meditation. It was calming and made realize that I take those things for granted every day.

Jan 13th

This practice of mindfulness brought me calm and set a good tone for the day

Meditation

This meditation completely changed my mood and anxiety. Rain sound is very helpful to calm the brain.

Body scan

I absolutely love this routine. I could start and restart my morning everyday with this meditation and I’m going to bookmark and add it for later.

Grounded and Alert

I’M been listening to a wide variety of sessions and hadn’t done this one in awhile. I’d forgotten just how good it makes me feel - body, mind, emotion and spirit. I feel really ready to move into my day with a focus and energy. 🙏🏽

Great

I Felt calm and more present also more woke and feeling vibed out

Sided-ness observation and experience

I felt like I was slaloming left right right left and it was surprisingly easy and natural like the channels were already in place. I just stayed with it in spite of distractions in the room by husband going in and out bright lights. I stayed with my sense of being in my body versus choosing to be irritated

I felt present

I learned that I can focus my mind on one thing at a time. I just repeated on my head what she said after she said it so my mind did not go somewhere else

more calm

I was already to hop out of bed and push myself too hard. This is my go to if I don’t want to deal with something I’ve been avoiding. I needed to calm down and focus. Now I feel more calm. I feel like this meditation will continue to help me if I make it a practice.

Today

I learned that I am able to differentiate my left brain and right body and vice versa. At the end of the meditation, I can reintegrate and feel whole. It’s very nice.

Love

I love how this practice focuses specifically first on the left side and then the right side of the body

Body feels awake

It felt good to check into my body this morning. It even helped me identify some painful trouble spots in my arm and shoulder that I hadn’t noticed. Therefore I can wake those muscles more gently and be kind to my arm today.

Switch

The switch was so hard and I never really felt I did it, but when I opened my eyes I was much more happy AND it was snowing!☃️❄️

Look upwards

There’s a higher power. Look to it for guidance and clarity.
