I learned that pausing for 3 minutes in the afternoon energized me and gets me through the midday slump. WHOOHOO!!

it’s okay

to being alright with me. I know I deserve more love and caretakening.

Gloss

Over both what is and what was the respect we show is silence and painting the world with our eyes shows more than can be seen

Pause

My mind a whirl I couldn’t pause today. Couldn’t stop will do another tonight and slow then.

Pause

I feel more centered and calm after my “pause” meditation. Focusing on my breathing helped me be in this moment and recognize when my mind started to wander about everyday things and plans. It helps me appreciate the simple act of being.

Pause

I learned that pausing my day, focusing on the breath helps balance and center me and my thoughts

Learning

I am an extremely anxious person, and I practice the “pause” and do my breathing throughout the day-it really helps!! I am so grateful for aura!!

Pause

Just that short period of time focusing on the breath makes a difference...

Pausing

By pausing my busy life and thinking about the small things in it, makes dealing with the big things a tad bit easier and makes life less stressful to deal with.

Tiredness

Even after a long and tiring day taking time for mindfulness brings energy and alertness x

Pause

Small meditation brings mind in focus ready to start the day positively

Breathing

Being in the present moment and breathing can be all you need to lift your day!!!

Feels good to be present. Sitting at a beautiful beach and enjoying the serenity.

It’s good to be present and let go of racing thoughts. Feels refreshing

Just Pause

Sometimes I wait too long to just pause which leads to muscles that are tough to relax. It feels sooo good to Just Pause...when will I ever learn?

i learned that

breath is the basis of everything. without breath there would not be a a moment to pause for.

Day 4

My life is stressful and hectic, therefore I need to find time to be in the moment throughout my day, instead of worrying about the past or future.

Pause

I was amazed at how effective this was - I could quickly focus on myself and release all the pressing thoughts.

Just Pause

This is a great quick meditation when things are suddenly out of control. It reminds you to breath and brings you back to the present.

Just Pause

How quickly I forget all the specific practices when life throws me an unexpected curve during my day and I feel myself becoming overwhelmed, but I can always seem to remember to just stop for a few moments and breathe. I am glad that is the essence. Namaste

Pause

When the going gets tough, taking a pause out of your day to just get back to your breath is a good thing.

Lungs

This meditation made me very aware of how my lungs fill up and expand with every breath. I mean, I know that’s what happens but I never took the time to really feel what that meant. It made me appreciate all the vital organs of my body. Realizing how very delicate it is. How I seem to take it for granted. Much like many other important things in my life. I need to just appreciate all that is right and stop focusing on what’s not.

Posture appreciation

I appreciated the extra time given to describing the posture to best take for this meditation. I find that that is too often missing in Aura sessions.

Breath

I love the reminder, “the breath is an anchor for the present moment.”

I woke up feeling a mood of ease.

Sitting in a relaxing position is good to put your mind at ease.

Need of pause

We need to pause from our lives and live in the moment ❤️... it is required for our mental health ... it’s like a mini vacation for our minds ... really helps.

pause from your daily life in order to take a break and reflect on what’s going on in your mind, body and soul. take a break to take care of yourself !

To pause

I learned that to pause and be still is all you need to get focused and care for yourself.

To pause

I learned that to pause and be still is all you need to focus and care for yourself.

Stillness

Before I begin my day, take a moment to stop and delete all of the thoughts running through my mind. Be still. Present.

Day 4

Making mediation a habit takes time and patience and I’m on the path of accomplishing this

Pause

Pause a moment from everything that is going on. Find a quiet place to be by yourself! Focus on breathing

Meditation #2

pausing allows us to step back and reflect on the situation. breathing allows our body to connect with the problem and anchor into it to better understand what we are dealing with both positive and negative.

Pause

“May you be blessed with ease.” Love that! This was a wonderful session.

In the moment

Learning when to take those moments in your day to pause and meditate and re center is vital in having continuing peace throughout your day

Just Pause Day 3

Felt good about this meditation especially after reading the article in the introductory Aura email about 20 tips to meditate. Counting my breath helped, staying in a feeling but not interfacing with it directly also helped. I am feeling sad but want to let go of that sadness. I must allow myself to feel it first.

Breathing

I learned that breathing is very peaceful, and a great way to just relax and pause from everything around me.

Just a Moment

We all forget to just breathe and give our minds a chance to process. We all need to be reminded of the basics sometimes.

Relaxing

I learned taking 3.5 minutes out of your day to do some mindfulness exercises, it makes such a difference in terms of relaxation and how your night/day goes depending when you do it. I do it at night cause I have more time but I find it so relaxing and so helpful

Pause

Breathing is the anchor to the present moment. Take the time to pause in the day and realign

Just being with these things

Taking a pause through the day to be aware of the breath and the body can reenergize.

“Felt Like Forever”

Just sitting was great to refocus and pause to be all here. It’s such a rare thing to sit in silence, it was amazing to feel connected with the moment.

Just pause

Taking a pause for 60 seconds anytime during my day is truly a mini vacation for the mind and a gift I can give myself.

Just pause

Breath is like an anchor to the present when you focus on your breathing

Fidgeting

I could sit in the moment and just breathe. Usually I fidget doing meditation, this time I didn't

Focusing on myself

Relaxation and meditation practice starts by focusing inward on my physical and mental status.

That felt good

I’m battling the flu and this just allowed me to get outside of the sickness and be and feel well even if for a moment. It’s a struggle to focus when the body aches and breathing is difficult due to congestion. This did make me feel a little better.

Just pause

Pausing for just a second a day can bring you back and make you more preset

Breathing...

It’s important to just pause and relax in you day to make your day breathing with you!

I liked it very much it made me so relaxed and serene the fact of pausing worked for me I recommend this one

I learned that being present in the moment is key to relaxation during tough times. Realizing more deeply where I am can be calming.

Simple

In just a few minutes I can tune in. Feel comfortable with myself

Anchoring the Present

The breath anchors you in the present and returns you to your natural state.

Better

I really liked the longer version. Not sure what the long run effects will be but i feel great right now.

1

I learned that it’s good to take a moment to breath and that even taking a couple of breaths is fine

Being present =mini vacation

I took a mini vacation while sitting in my office ... all it took was 3 minutes and the outcome was awesome. And it all it took was being present with my breathe and body

Pausing

I learned that it can be great sometimes to take a minute to anchor yourself again and just drift without worrying, so as to better handle things.

Firsts time

It felt really good it really did and her voice just relaxed me and made my whole body loose it’s power it was great

In the Moment

This is something I need to continue to work on. Focusing on my breathing, and being present

First Time

I noticed that my mind continues to race when I’m trying to relax. My body was relaxing in the moment but my mind was far more difficult. I need to work on this.

First time

I learned that it started to help at moments however at others I began to wonder about why I was doing it causing stress again but hopefully I can learn to stop that from happening in the future

Night 3

Whenever you’re having a great day, sitting down and meditating about it makes that day even greater.

Just me.

I can just be with myself. I felt my breath and body in sync and was able to focus more than I typically give myself credit for.

Breath is the anchor

I likened the long pauses in this meditation to taking time during my day to stop, breathe, be aware and to settle down. I realize that just a few minutes, done multiple times during the day, isn’t very long and I really have no excuse not to do it. I don’t use the reminders because I don’t carry my phone with me. Great meditation! 🙏🌺

You’re more than your mind

3-d space without - 3D space within - and “you’re bigger than the two - and you’re bigger than your mind - “ I’m experiencing stress”. Instead of “I am stressed” - that’s the key message if Yoga and Gita. Starting to sink into my heart, after 40 years of mathematics, physics and philosophy.

Strange

This was odd but the voice sounded sort of computer generated....maybe she used “autotune”. It was awkward.

Just pause

I need to work on taking time during my day to just pause. It is difficult since I do not have an office or space of my own.

I am here.

I feel calm and present. It’s like a wave of relief has washed over me, I’m ready to face the day.

Stressed out

I felt that this helped me to calm down and take a pause on everything that’s bothering and focus on my inner self.

Anchored in a storm

“The breathe is an anchor to our true self”. In times of trouble and in times of grace, to pause and observe is always good! Be amazed how you can strengthen yourself when things seem out of control. Experience complete peace and contentment when things are good. Whenever I need it, my breath is the starting point to the realization that I am okay,I am present, alive, and can accept and change the course of my day. It’s really that simple. Throw your anchor in the sea of life and just pause! Thank you for the reminder! Have an amazing day y’all! 🙏❤️

Pausing...

Cindy gives us plenty of time to just pause and “Be” in this meditation. I found the unusually long quiet times were actually kind of nice. Now I am ready to go to work. ❤️...🍀

Perfect

Perfect way to start the day! Being aware of our senses and surrounding and giving thanks and gratitude.

Excellent morning

A great way to slowly greet the day and become more centered before any chaos hits.

Break Time

Pausing in the middle of our day to take a few moments to focus our attention on our breath is like taking a mini vacation for our mind and spirit. Choosing a lying down position becoming aware of my breath, my body felt like it was floating on top of water. This sensation was very relaxing. I enjoyed this mini break. I selected the 7 minute version which it is only the 3 minute version. Maybe Aura is having a glitch today? Either way this will be a great session to revisit when I need a time out from my day.

Take a moment

We as humans always seem to busy and always seem to be focused on other things then our lives. It is okay to take some time to yourself

Mindful Break

Majority of us wake up in the morning and begin a sprint to get as much done on their to-do list as possible. While it is important to be productive, we can burn ourselves out if we aren’t careful. In addition, life can completely pass us by if we aren’t careful. That is why it is good to balance a to-do list with a to-be list. In this meditation, Cindy introduces us to a task that is on our to-be list, a mindful break, where we pause to catch our breath and feel sensations in our body. This morning has been pretty eventful, as I’ve been going pretty much since I woke up. I did pause to listen to this meditation, but quickly remembered something else I wanted to get done this morning before it gets too hot out. While doing that task, I noticed myself having mindful movements. My mind was clear so I had great attention to detail. I was fully aware in these moments. I attribute my mindfulness to the mindful break I had earlier. After completing the task, I decided to listen to this meditation again. Settling in my breath, I felt at ease. With all of my senses open in my surroundings, I allowed the waves of experiences to come to me instead of trying to search for them. I noticed sensations occurring within my body. Gratitude flooded my heart. During these moments of my mindful break, I found that this was enough. Taking a few moments to just be throughout our day is crucial for our well-being. During those mindful breaks, we find that we aren’t happy because our life is good, we are happy because Life is good! In this way, we quickly realize that our happiness is not attached to any one thing! That means that happiness is a conscious choice we make each and every moment of every day! Take time for mindful breaks...your body, mind and spirit will thank you graciously for them. Namaste 🙏🏻❤️☮️

Thank you for this reminder to just step back and pause. My mind is so busy and stressed. I appreciate this practice

pause

taking time to pause and just focus on the breath really helped to be aware of my surroundings :)

I feel that it is okay to be a little tired some days and bite my tongue even when I want to say something.

I learned that I am at peace as long as I can remember who I am.
