Heart Breathing track by Deanna Burkett, MA, MS (0h 4m 22s)

Sarah

Work Through It

Stress has become an unwelcome guest in my life, usually due to interactions and situations with people. I had a bit of trouble shutting my thoughts off during this session as I had a stressful situation from the past on my mind but I took notice of my thoughts and forced myself out of that dark place, it's not healthy to dwell on these things. The idea of breathing through the heart was very helpful, I felt cleansing, as if clearing up a foggy window. I will be referring back to this one many times :)

Sam

A Light Came On

I know this may not have been the thrust of the session but in the introduction I caught something very significant. The notion of greeting myself as I greet others was very enlightening. I realized that if I were to meet someone just like me I would treat them so much better than I treat myself. I would smile at them chat with them and do my best to encourage them. But as for me, I treat myself rather poorly by comparison. In your introduction you showed me that truth and I now realize it is an area that needs more attention. Thank you.

Mary

Heart meditation

I learned that breathing through my heart space, gently massaging it with healing and peace; brought an subtle energy. Note to self: Be gentle with myself.

Hailey

I learned that

You just have to take a moment and time to just breathe though your heart and that’s a little something we need every now and then

Leslie

Heart breath

To find my heart and have the breath circle and go through. To centre myself and fears

Kelcy

Kindness toward myself

I need to be just as kind, tolerant and accepting of myself and my own flaws and imperfections as I am of others.

Everett

Task

Foil my foil bend me over and rock out the hard Rock the Rock hard abs under my skin my love and white whistle

Time

Christina

Great mid-day session!

Love the concept of breathing through the heart! Always looking for ways to be more heart-centered during my day. Thanks for sharing this meditation!

Taylor

Day 3

Why do we always focus on breathing? Can’t we also focus on other things we do?

Lucette

Greetings

I great myself totally different from myself! I’m very rude to myself. And quite dismissive.

Kaitlyn

I’m not sure.

I feel like every one of these are about breathing and the sensations you can get from breathing. And while yes, I understand breathing is a huge part in mindfulness, but I’m not going to feel anything different if all of these make me feel and do the same things. Suggestions?

Hannah

Sleep

Today was so full of stress and anxiety that all I want to do is sleep. I went to my audition, and while I don't know what they thought, I am so proud of myself! I spoke with confidence and sass. My accent, while not great was good. And I met several fantastic people. Fingers crossed that I get the part I am hoping for.

Christine

Today

I noticed I was very frustrated, sad, and angry. And to be honest I do not know why I felt that way.

Julia

It really does

This really did/does help and it calms your body,and your heart

Katie

Let Your Heart Breathe

I felt heart broken/noticed my body taking effect to the directions/learned to let my heart breathe

Ariel

Heart Breathing Session 1

I learned to take a few moments aside and focus on just myself. Self-care is important and I need to practice it more in my everyday life.

Ricardo

Good

Peace can come easily. Take a moment to yourself and how you are feeling. Work on yourself

Suhaila

Breathing

I noticed that you can literally feel your breath pushing against your heart and your chest. When you breath calmly and stay relaxed, thinking positive thoughts to yourself, then this mindset reflects on how your breath feels against your heart and chest. If you take a fast breath while anxious and hurt, your heart and chest will feel then same way when the breath hits.

Justine

Heart breathing

The moon looked down on me, the apricot tinged cloud clung to her, like a gossamer shift. A sprinkle of stars glinted like fairy dust flung high into a darkened sky, suspended in black velvet. My heart ached, such beauty before me, it breathed in the vista, projecting my appreciation. I poured out my love, shot like a golden arrow from a bow it took flight, aimed at the silvered globe in the sky. My heart breathed and beauty was its reward.

Milton

Heart

Heart breathing was restful for me during this meditation. It was nice and calming.

Chloe

Stress

I felt my stress leaving my body as I listened to the words. With each breath I became a little more calm until I reached a state of peace.

Cat

Heart breathing to ease sadness.

I noticed that I was feeling quieter as I breathed and imagined breathing through the heart. My greeting to mys of was don’t be so sad! and progressively I felt that I did not feel like crying anymore. I feel better now.

M.K.

Heart Breathing

I learned that visualizing my breath in unique ways can be a powerful tool for calming down when I am overwhelmed.

Matthew

Fail

I don’t feel like I was able to accomplish the session directive to breathe through my heart. I TRIED! but while I can usually accomplish the visualization of these lessons, this time the feeling escaped me completely. Oh well! On with my day anyway! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Susie

Heart Breathing

This was such a nice meditation...first of all reminding me to great myself as though I was meeting a dear friend. I also enjoyed the concept of breathing directly into and around my heart. Thank you 🙏

Gagan

So very helpful. Made me cherish my heart as a muscle that needs to have some love and care

Really enjoyable and helped me calm down from an erratic and emotional state. Learnt to give my heart a break and treat it with care.

Nyna

Hello friend

For the first time, I tried and greeted myself as I would a beloved friend at a meetup. It has never occurred to me to try such a thing but that feeling brought me a lot of joy.

Taylor

Serenity

This practice went very well with my prayer today. This practice made me realize that I must internalize happiness before I can exert it on to others. May everyone have a peaceful and blessed day! 🙏🏾😁
