Living Presence

Review

Even though I'm new at meditation I love finding peace in my day and plan to continue through my life.

I Wonder

"I wonder what will happen today", the mantra of this meditation reminded me that nothing is predetermined for each day. It helped me realize how much I live in the assumption of how events will play out, because they are common occurrences. But really no experience will seem exactly the same as another if I am aware and engaged.

Keeping my mind open

This meditation brought my attention to the fact that sometimes I begin to have expectations "today is going to busy and stressful" "things will be tough today" but we do not know how each day will be and in not knowing, we can keep our minds open and allow our positivity to create a day we choose, a day we wish to have.

Happy hippie🤙🏽

This meditation is amazingly satisfying made me stop an just live an love LIFE excited for what is Going to come today an what yet more has to come 🤙🏽#BUTTERFLY AFFECT 🦋

Children are

Our greatest blessing. We learn about the power of innocence, laughter, learning, love, courage, bravery, curiosity, wonder, discovery, happiness, and joy through their expression. New life gives us new perspective. In my case my daughter saved my life. It was through parenting that I learned to say stop. I have learned I am enough. Children are born innocent. Through their eyes that we learn about the world.

Angry

I have learned that being Angry doesn't solve anything it just makes your life miserable Xxx

Loving presence

I wonder what will happen today. I know at a minimum, the day has started with positive thoughts and gratitude.

I wonder what will happen today

I know that it will start off positive and hopeful because I am free of negative thoughts .

Honest with ones self.

I have learnt that a lot of people on this app pick feeling excellent after each meditation while they either feel neutral or good. Perhaps very good. But no actually feels excellent. Because how could you feel excellent in an illusion that we are all aware off.

Just Breath

And Explore the inner child in you and always be kind to yourself

Present

I learned that being present is helpful to me and the other person i am giving my time to.

Living presence

I wonder what will happen today as I embark on the endless possibilities that will face me today. I greet this day with excitement 😊 love and gratitude ❤️

Runnibg

Running makes me feel so good in the early mornings, and I’m really starting to enjoy my surroundings more. I am so appreciative of my health and strength.

What will happen today?

I learned to add to my daily Pages the question “I wondered what will happen today?” I like that question and a great way to start my days with.

Sensation

What will happen today? What will I make happen today? Keep the eternal optimism and experience every moment.

Stay open

I learned that it is good to stay open to possibilities rather than wonder what are the exact details. I wonder what will happen today?

Positive Meditation

This is a great meditation when I’m feeling positive: grateful for what got me to this point, eager to see what the future brings. I am able to make plans and intentions while keeping a childlike curiosity!

Curious and open

Be curios and open to all new things that a new day will bring to me and all the ones I can go to and discover

life

life is a blessing. i am grateful for everything that has led me to where i am. i love my journey.

Inability to Relax

I don't know what happened, either I was too giddy or just unable to relax, but this made me feel almost worse. I couldn't keep my eyes closed, couldn't relax, and I started to become a bit stressed if I'm being honest. I wish I knew what it was but this recording just wasn't good for me.

I wonder

It’s a new journey for me, and I truly do wonder what will happen today. I am open to love and possibility.

Grounding

I learned how to let my creative anxiety go. It’s much more productive to think about the endless possibility of good things I could make, than to get lost in feeling hopeless about what to make.

Wrong timing

Im just going to sleep and then I get a meditation which is about starting the day open for possibilities. Tried doing the thoughts and openness for tomorrow and this worked quite well. Still, Im not completely into this one.

Undecided

I love most of the meditations, but this one felt a bit thin. Didn't really do it for me, especially as I dontdo mine in the morning

Day 1

I liked that it was short but at the same time it was a morning meditation, so I think it’d be better for the morning. However, it was still relaxing.

Short and simple

Basic meditation, just to clear my mind as a refresher. Best part about these meditations is that they’re only 3 minutes, so you can even do them during work if you have a few minutes to spare!

Possibility

A nice way to begin a day. Being open and curious. I wonder what will happen today. I hope positive energy flows to all of you today.

I am..

I am so relaxed and calm I feel amazing everything I feel is like a wave of calmness sweeping through my body as if nothing is wrong

Presence

I wonder what will happen today. I know what my agenda for today is but I wonder what will happen throughout my day. This changes my view of what I do each day. Not seeing it as a chore but having that child-like curiosity of “what will happen” brightens it up.

Curiosity

I wonder what will happen today? That’s a great one. Good inquiry to start the day with for sure.

Living presence

Nice thoughts to start a new day full of openness for what might happen today.

Happy

I felt very happy, energized and exited for the day. I’m now going to ask in the mornings:”I wonder what will happen today?”!!

Childlike wonder

I loved "take your childlike wonder into your day." It was permission to be myself.

Day 38

I have heard a lot about immediately setting your intentions for the day right when you wake up in the morning. I wonder what will happen today is so simple and not at all intimidating.

“I’m being followed by a....” - C.S.

last night Full Luna illuminated the darkness, a bird in the trees outside our window was certainly fooled, she sang her song over and over again “Whipoorwill, whippoorwill...” I thought about getting up to close the window but changed my mind when I looked down into our backyard, moon shadows and silver reflected light had transformed it into a magic world of nocturnal otherness the air was still, the stars glittered in magnificent silence, a supporting cast to the moon’s command performance I climbed back into bed and drifted off to sleep, grateful for having witnessed such rare, fleeting beauty.

Expecting...

Short, powerful & doable ... I wonder what today will bring?! ❤️☮️🍀

I felt relaxed, centered and calm and slightly annoyed...

I learned that I do not like guided meditations where the narrator is speaking in general specifics, meaning telling me to think of life’s joys, gratitude, blah blah blah, etc. It’s too vague goody feel pushing...

Now Presence

I learned just from hangout with great great grandson talking about his hubbub board made me relaxed, peaceful and appreciating the moment. It was a surprise call from him today...smooches King Elijah GG

Thoughtd

This woman took a lot more pauses between her words than the others have (maybe because this is my first seven minute long one) which gave me more time to let my mind wander. This wasn’t very helpful. It’s okay though! I’m still learning! :)

Today will be amazing!

I am setting my intentions to make this day amazing! The Universe gives me great things and I trust in it that today is wonderful as well!

Background sounds

Make a huge difference to me. I am wired to connect with nature at my deepest spiritual level. Thank you for such a positive message and calming moment☺️

Living presence

I’ve learned that asking i wonder what today will be like is a good place to start. Now, i know the BEST way to start is by asking a question with intent. Example, i wonder what today would be like if i’m happy.

Opening to Opportunities

Although my mind was rebelling against being present today (not the fault of the meditation), I loved the notion of greeting the day with child-like wonder, opening ourselves to opportunities and possibilities.

I’m alive!

Another day to enjoy, to use, to live! How can I not be grateful?

Curiosity

Having excitement and hope for the day is invaluable.... I thought once the session was done, “Let me open my eyes and begin.”

November 10th

I wonder what today would be like? My new motto for each morning.

At peace

I feel at peace after that session knowing the next day will be good. 🙏🏻. Excited for another day

Grateful

People care about me. Ramona asked how I was doing today. It was unexpected that she remembered and cared enough to ask. I told her about some of the challenges, such as fatigue and memory is worse. I didn’t downplay it, nor exaggerate. It is simply what it is. But what I should have said was thank you.

Endless Possibilities

“I wonder what will happen today!” I love the idea of beginning my day with this question. Not only does the question open the door to endless possibilities, it allows me to begin my day with childlike wonder. Looking through the lens of childlike wonder allows me to be present to the moment. (I did the 3 minute meditation by accident; going back to try the 7 minute meditation.) 🙏💐🙏

Wonder

I listened to the 7 minute meditation. I still am having difficulty getting back into meditation. My mind did wander and rather than following suggestions, my mind went to the wonder of life itself, the wonder of birth, the wonder of friendship and the joy and wonder surrounding Christmas. I guess I will have to try this meditation again when I am more receptive and can concentrate.

Reflecting on paper 📘🖊

This meditation was an excellent choice for me this morning. I’m really doing very well in terms of staying present off and on throughout the day, mostly when it’s very important that I need to be present. But throughout this entire meditation my mind really wanted to think about my older sister! I’m not bothered by it because it helps me resolve things that have happened in the past. I’ve been doing a lot of writing in my journal lately, not on this app. I really like the feel of the pen gliding across the paper as the thoughts flow out. Feels good 💫

Morning Meditation

I wonder what will happen today? Keeping your options open to the possibilities of today. A great meditation to start of the day.👍🏽

Living presence

I wonder what will happen today? Today I will be open to whatever is in store for me. I will watch my day unfold with childlike wonder.

Wondering

I learned that I should be living presently and I should ask myself every morning, what is going to happen today?

Open

I learned that I should always be open to all the possibilities that a new day brings and I should live more in the present.

Living Presence

This is by far my favorite mediation that I’ve ever done. My favorite part was bringing awareness to the tingling sensation of energy in my hands and the warmness of excitement in my chest and just sitting in that circle of energy and warmth. I also did this mediation sitting in a sunlit room and it made it even more enjoyable.

Feeling alive

I learned to always keep attenttion with wonder through my day.

Living presence

This exercise was a great meditation to start off the day with, it was very calming.

What will happen today

A different perspective can sometimes make all the difference. This taught me to face the day with wonder instead of dread like I’m so used to. It’s amazing what a mental shift can truly do for you.

Living Presence

You are this living presence. Have gratitude for everything that had to come together in order to get you to where you are right now, this moment. As you begin your day, think of what will happen today. Think as if you were a child, full of wonder, and as you go about your day, share that excitement with others. Every day is a new day! Make it your own! Have a beautiful day! ❤️🙏🏻😊

Each Morning

Every morning i am going to try to ask myself...... what will happen today? And like the meditation be open to all possibilities.

i’ve learned

you can’t focus on what could happen but focus on living in the moment

Living Presence

The possibilities for today are endless, this meditation was mind blowing

session repeated for the 7 min practice

I learned that the session was repeated for the 7 minutes practice.

Living Presence

I feel that listening to this mediation helps relax my mind and body every time I close my eyes I can feel the sensation of every time I take a breath in and out .

I felt a bit tired when waking this morning so I thought a bit of meditation would help me to start.

I learned that I still have my younger self’s “morning person” in me but that she is not as spry as she once was.

Awesome

Sitting, open to abundance, wonder, and curiosity. What does this day bring to my household? And it totally blows me away that my dogs, even my puppy knows the beautiful sound of my stillness when I sit. The glory of sentient critters! We seriously need a LOVE REVOLUTION to make America whole again ...MAWA. Anyone want to make caps? But jokes aside, we have a responsibility to be compassionate to those without our awareness, which comes with meditation and introspection.

Be open and curious about our day

7 min practice != two 3-minute practice

several of Aura 7 minute practices have become repetitions of two 3-minute practice when you choose the 7 minute practice. it is disturbing and one loses focus when there's disrupting music in the middle and the session starts so over again

Thank you

I love this. Especially after a body scan. Note to self: no more body scans for me unless it is right when I wake, rested, haven’t dealt with gravity yet, the puppies are still under the covers and that could work. BUT having just finished Aura’s suggested/recommended session for the day, a body scan having been up five hours already, this was such an energizing and NON PAINFUL session!!

Great way to stay open

I’m always happy when I learn something new. So simple and profound phrase to set your day forward. I wonder what will happen today ?

Perfect for this time of year

This meditation was an excellent reminder to be thankful for my blessings and to keep a childlike mindset during the crazy hustle and bustle of this holiday season.

Love it

Walking into our day with eagerness and childlike wonder. I like that I can sit with the background afterwards and settle into the golden feelings of what I will discover to day.

Awareness of Me

I forget to stay connected with my body sometimes. But I quickly remember that a few deep breaths, a pause, and gratitude brings me back into the present moment. I’m so grateful for all of the conditions that have led me to the present. I am here, I am grateful, & I am ready for the wonders that will appear throughout my day.

Breath

Don’t forget to breath. It’s the anchor when my mind wanders from intent to to-do.

3 minutes might be better

I noticed that the 7 minute version seemed to have long pauses in awkward places. Maybe the 3 minute version would have a better, less distracting, flow.

Feeling good

I learned that being more present in everyday life is a good skill to have

Value of existing in the Present

I am learning the value of being honestly inside of the present moment. The feeling of peace when simply being open and experiencing life is expansive, freeing.

Open

I’m open to the day and whatever experience it tosses my way I’m determined to see it in a positive light.

This really helped me feel less anxious

I can choose to anticipate good things in a stressful work day

Don’t take things for granted. Look around at your abundance

Don’t take things for granted. Look around at your abundance.

Open

I loved this sweet and simple meditation, especially the moment of gratitude for every condition which has brought you here to be alive and well today. I feel good.

Curiosity

I found that having that “child-like curiosity” is very helpful when setting your daily intentions.

Peaceful

In spite of the various factors that can bring me down in these times I’m feeling calm and hope this continues

I get too ahead of myself. Sitting with openness and the possible feels good.

Sit in that open space more, before too many things overwhelm

Being Present

The more present you are the more grateful and the more gratitude people will give you

Learning

Everyday that I listen I realize i need to stop being so down on myself and start breathing in what all is coming my way for a good change 💙

Making time

Making time in the morning for meditation is difficult sometimes, but through gentle surrender, I am practicing meditation each day and I know it is slowly healing me

Meditation

I learned that it’s hard to relax in the morning I feel like things are racing through my mind and my anxiety is at its peak! I tried to relax during the session but my mind kept wondering off with my anxiety. I wish I could be normal and not have this anxiety anymore.

Excellent to start a day

Be grateful and thankful every morning and be thankful of yourself😍 thank you for sharing this meditation with me one of my favorite

CURIOUS

READY TO GO OUT WITH A SMILE INTO THE WORLD TODAY. EMBRACING THE UNKNOWN 💜

Curiously

I learned I show start the day with wonder and be open minded to the possibilities without expecting anything terrible or bad.

I will start to begin my days with that sentence

For so long it’s been easier to wake up and say f*** this. But when I focus on positive it is sometimes difficult. I do see the way both attitudes affect my universe. I have been working on myself so much and have a long way to go. I am confident that this sentence will be a great way to a new beginning of each day. I wonder what is going to happen today is much better, it puts no pressure on the day. I am already on my path of rebirth and each day will continue to be amazing. Thank you for this meditation namaste.

Living Presence

Begin by asking what will today bring, allow your mind to fill with happy and positive emotions and then ask again. Take this with you and share

Amazing

It helped me center myself for the day and set good intentions and good thoughts

Living Presence

Thank you for reminding me to begin each day with a sense of joy and hopefullness. It has been very difficult to find those things

. Wonder.

The idea of wonder .. an optimistic presence. At the helm of your days possibilities. I love the idea of the openness of wonder. Can we let go of the idea that we have to control everything? Just be, Activating a keen awareness of your senses today. Draw in curiosity.

Today 3-30-21

I have learned that I can do whatever I put my mind too. I will not let this 15 pound weight gain make me lose heart. If I did it before, I can do it again. Watch me!

I felt a few moments of that

wonderful anticipation about What will come next! Throughout the pain, trauma and loss of the past 10 years, I only Felt it a few times It’s nice to know that I’m still in There!

Smile not frown

If I just think openly on the wonder it leans into being more positive to start my day rather than the dread list that drives me into a negative mind set so this is much more uplifting just nurturing my thoughts for a few minutes makes me more open 😊

Living Presence

This put a wonderful spin on the phrase - I wonder what will happen today. Thank you for helping me find gratitude in that phrase

Wonder & Curiosity

I wonder what will happen today…what a great way to meet the day. Namaste

Abrupt

I felt like this session was abrupt. I liked the wondering what will happen today and the gratitude parts, but then it ended abruptly with open your eyes.

Living Presence

I felt that this might be a great motivator for me. A great reason to want to get up and start the day!!!
