How to Live with Mindfulness ...Daily

How to live meditation

Simply put , Dorothy Ratusny is gentle yet powerfully effective as a teacher .Once again I say thank you...masterfully done !

I learned that

I tend to practice meditation, but not mindfulness, so I’m missing a lot of the benefits that come from a regular meditation practice. I want to work on correcting that!

How to live with mindful

Taking deep breathes consciously, was something I wouldn’t consider mediating but this was different. The instructors calm voice and directions for breathing were refreshing. I feel so at peace now.

Mindfullness

Du kan ta et øyeblikk for å kjenne på alt kor som helst, når som helst, med øyan åpen eller lukka, inne eller ute, rundt folk eller aleina

Simplicity

“In your life, a mindfulness practice can be as simple as noticing and recognizing when you’re not in the now / the present moment, and then to gently bring your attention back to the present.”

Day 2 mindfulness

I always actually able to focus on my breathing and not so many thoughts running through my head. Anxiety felt better today.

Becoming More Comfortable

I'm becoming more comfortable with meditation and mindfulness. The process is getting easier. I love that I am starting to feel the benefits. I'm just at the beginning of my personal growth journey, and adding this app into it is definitely what I needed to keep it going.

Today was better

Able to follow breathing easier, mind wandered but not as much, di this from helped, maybe

Focus

It’s a challenge to learn to focus on my breathing! I am determined to keep at it! I want to quiet my mind when I need too! Slow my racing thoughts!

Feeling

I feel a little overwhelmed with my success. I feel like I am going to fail. Everything is going great in my life but in my head I can’t be truly happy because I’m waiting on the other shoe to drop!!

The Wonder & Beauty in Now

The practice of mindfulness is realizing what is happening within and around us in a curious and nonjudgmental way. Mindfulness is also a way of living, an embodiment of the present. Because our mind naturally wanders from thought to thought, it is a good idea to have an anchor to the moment, to Now. In this beautiful meditation, we use the anchor of our breath to witness how it feels to be mindful in the moment. Settling in my chair, I took in three deep breaths into my body. Knowing I was breathing in and knowing I was breathing out created a calming feeling over my body mind. From there, I used my sensory modalities to feel sensations within and around my body, such as my heart beating and the weight of my body on the chair. I heard sounds of the breath and a clock ticking time in the room I was in. I smelled the freshness in the air as I breathed. With my eyes closed, I visualized myself sitting in the chair while looking all around me. Doing this added an element of spaciousness to my experience. Being mindful, I am available to listen to my heart. Being mindful, I am available to listen to others. Being mindful, I am available to experience the wonder and beauty in Now. Thank you, Dorothy! Namaste 🙏🏻❤️☮️

Being in the moment

As someone that is new to meditation I’ve found it difficult to stay focused. However, if I focus on the background noise as well as my breath it really helps me not get distracted.

Deliberate breathing

This was a nice reminder to take time and focus on your breath and mindfulness.

Second day proving helpful

I learned how to bring myself back to the present with my breathing, I noticed thoughts passed by and I was able to bring myself back to the practice.

Be Present in the Moment

To consider all 5 senses and be present in the moment. It’s harder to block out distractions with my eyes open but there is something special about being present in a quiet moment.

Grasping little by little

Day 2, I am starting to get a grasp of how to bring myself back each time my brain wonders around. ✅

QOB - Quality of Breath

I learned that…. QOB is important for bringing one’s self back to the present moment. I often forget to breathe so remembering this is important, for everyone

Mindfulness

I learned that the breath is an important tool for bringing yourself back to the present moment.

Felt Relaxed , light, focused

Learned that I can meditate eyes open, sitting, lying, traveling as long as use all 5 senses and focus on deep breathing to center myself.

I was a little distracted.

I enjoyed the breathing although I was a little distracted.

Calmness

I feel a sense of calmness after completing this meditation. I am now back in the now and not focused on the later. I will be completing this meditation again.

Tuning in to myself

Slowing down the racing thoughts, the negativity, the worry,the mistakes made in the past. It relaxes me.

Lacking patience

I observed that I often lack the patience to hold a thought or stay still in my mind even for a short time. It makes me lose focus and miss out important details.. not just for work, but also the beauty in a moment.

Lovely words

I love “find the beauty of the moment”. That’s a great mantra.

Lovely words

I love “find the beauty in the moment”. This is a great mantra.

Pleasantly hopeful

I can make time to meditate. It doesn’t need to be a big time event.

Inward

I went inward and talked to some fears I had. I also had this radiating feeling across my body. It was great

Health issue, tests and appts ahead.

Being mindful and counting blessings. Asked for support from my son who is The Best. Daily check-ins planned.

Breathe

Taking time for a few deep breaths can center me. I need to be more aware of this in my daily life.

QUIET

As I quiet my mind I can feel joy in my heart. I believe the release of the tension I hold will allow me to experience happiness, love, and joy in all things around me.

Possible to be joyful and aware of being joyful

Not just happy or filled with a contented enough - here I can reach, scoop it up for the simple desire of “why not, what is the excuse, now? Or now? It is like free decluttering. It is as though the book shelves and closets are saying it’s ok empty us, discard it and at the very least pick up the thoughts and shake them out and recycle, donate, compost- have fun with this and breath done life into

Breathing is beautiful

What a design to breath in awareness and to forget and still breath. I think of whales and orcas dolphins and porpoises. An amazing in and out and a whole dimension unfolds. I like the acknowledgment of beauty that mindfulness offers a beautiful life - beautiful … a common word yet an uncommon state available free entry.

Refreshed

I feel refreshed and alert but also relaxed. I thinking focusing on the here and now and what we can see and feel etc. is really helpful in these times that can be quite stressful and overwhelming.

Wow

I just realized that most of my stress comes from thinking of the past or future . Being in the present moment really takes all that away and your left with the peace and gentleness of just being .

Mindfulness

Breathing, bringing me to mindfulness. Feeling a breeze on my bare feet, arms, hands and face. Lovely.

Second mindfulness, the coaches voice distracted me at first. By the end I could focus better .

I learned that I could feel things like the air on my skin and inside me.

Today I felt

This practice preceded a strong yoga practice. During my yoga practice I felt moved to tears. During this meditation I felt moved internally. Like I’m on the right path to set my mind and soul free. Not sure how I ended up on the yoga series and this meditation practice, but I’m certain divine energy put me here!

Big wondering mind but did recognize it

I can bring back focus and now - y RE entering on breathing or even noticing my surroundings

Intent

Woke up this morning with an intent to center myself and start the day “on time.”

Breathing exercises

Useful technique to know enabling you to focus on the now through breathing.

Breathing

A very good reminder of a simple technique to focus on something we do all the time

Being here now

A very useful focus on breathing to be here now and seeing beauty each day

Mindfulness

I feel lighter in my consciousness. Whatever that means. Different for each of us I imagine.

Tired

In bed, 10:30p Long day Thought about her Glad I did this There shouldn’t be a required minimum about for me to type

Mindfulness

I say I want to live mindfully. “Right here, right now.” Then find my mind bouncing here and there, uncomfortable and unfocused. For today my intention is to take three long, deep breaths each time I stray. And I’m going to put some sticky notes around my home to remind me. Namaste.

Breath

It all goes with concentration to the breathing. Cannot really fade out completely.

Be here now

No matter where you are or what you’re doing, all it takes is 3 deep breaths to be here now

Mindfulness In Every Moment

Being in the Here and Now with mindfulness and awareness one can experience joy and happiness fully engaging in what life is offering you in every given moment. Free of judgments or attachments one can clearly see the importance of the Here and Now! Namaste…

Day 2 mindfulness

I don't know whether it's because it's day 2 or because I kept my eyes open this time - but no feelings of anxiety came forward when focusing on my breath today. I liked to notice my surroundings with my eyes as well.

I was not bored but I was slipping into thoughts a lot and had to reassert my breath in my mind .

I have a ways to go. On the downside I’m very scattered. On the good side I had moments of calm that usually escapes me.

Feel the Beauty of now

At the end of meditation, I feel the beauty of now. Even short l, but bring a sense of peace
