This is the beginning of a process of fine-tuning that starts with the body, and grows ever more subtle through layers of our body.

Stillness
To be still ... allows us to be more aware. Bringing calmness.

Listening to his one, I felt so focused on myself and looking deeper into myself that my worries melted away. Another good meditation!

I’ve been sooo stressed out lately and this meditation allowed me to just take a step back and appreciate my body. The layers of tissue; skin to muscle to bone to blood flow, it all makes up who we are. Becoming aware of my body makes me aware of the greatness that comes within.

Mediating in bed is just like meditating in my rack on deployment. There are moments of clarity and silence, then I realize I am climbing a mountain of sand, and then I realize I am asleep. Now I have to snap back I to the breathing and try not to fall asleep again. It was a meditation for deeper sleep though...so maybe it worked?

Space
I never knew I could feel so much space and lightness within me. I always felt so heavy.

Inside
Within the cluster of our bodies is unlimited space. It expands with our breaths but is always there knitted into our very being.

Paying attention to all the layers of the body. Bringing focus to each area helps to prevent distraction and brings realization of the importance of each body part. Our bodies are truly magnificent!

I learned that the emptiness inside my body is there to lift me up and make me feel light.

We are all made of different layers. How they all come together makes us each different. Instead of always wanting to look or be like someone else we need to appreciate our uniqueness. Each difference makes you, you.

What makes me
I learned that all the layers that make me are important and that making myself aware of them makes me such a stronger and more mindful person.

I liked thinking about different parts of my body, it helped me to focus on something other than what I was stressed about.

Step to total awareness
Deepest and most direct ofall so far . Fundamental step to. Connect with the totality (and eventually harmony live and peace). Recommended for all

Day 2
I am made up of so many things. Weight and work and purpose are all present in my body. They are there to help me and support me in anything I pursue. I am aware of the full nature of my body. It’s weight and needs, and I realize that breathing deeper than I think is needed is more fulfilling to all elements of my body. I can support it all.

Layering...
Loved this one!! Could feel each level of layer as we dove deeper and deeper into this instrument I call my body. Past my muscles and bones, thru my blood and empty spaces between my cells and finally reaching the awareness of I Am... Awesome!! ✌🏼❤️

Sleepy 💤Time
After a long day and a long week that 7 minute meditation has me so relaxed. During those 7 minutes I could not tell when I would be straddling between my conscious state & my unconscious state. I was so relaxed and breathing so effortlessly that when Lauren’s voice would come out of the silence it actually startled me from my unconsciousness. Definitely downloading this one!

bird watching
The summer before my freshman year in college my mother and I went to dinner over my uncle Jimmy’s. We called him Big Jimmy. His son, who was almost a year older than me, was known as Little Jimmy. When I was a little boy Big Jimmy was a hero of mine. A tattooed, macho truck driver with a taste for good scotch, he always spoke his mind. When Little Jimmy was seven his mother divorced Big Jimmy. Two dominant personalities, both refused to yield. Big Jimmy got custody on the weekends. Often he would swing by on a Friday evening with Little Jimmy and take me with them for a fun filled 48 hours. Go Karts, James Bond marathons, snowmobiling. I treasured those weekends and envied my cousin for having such a cool dad. As time past I grew to see my uncle for what he really was; just another hard working man who struggled to do the best he could fighting his demons. That evening at dinner the topic of education came up. Little Jimmy was enrolled in diesel mechanic school while I was still undeclared, heading off to the local Jesuit college with no clear objective. Big Jimmy puffed out his barrel chest and said, “My son is already on his way to a guaranteed paycheck and a marketable skill.” Then he looked directly at me. “And what about you? What have you got? As far as I can see, you got nothing but bird watching!” Then he laughed out loud. At the time his comment cut me to quick. I never again felt the same about him. But the funny thing? He was absolutely correct! Little Jimmy still drives a truck today. Like his dad, he is an honest, very hard working man. And me? I eventually stumbled into software development, fell in love with it and started my own company. I have made more money than I ever imagined possible and at 57 am a happily retired bird watcher!
