Mindfulness of Breathing Meditation

I ❤️my mindful minutes

I was unable to meditate on my own. Experiencing this guided breathing has given me a new sense of release & relaxation 🌈

This helped me refocus my thoughts, calm down after a long and busy day at work.

I especially like the reminders as I get too tied up in the days activities.

Going through motions at this point

I'm trying to be consistent with my daily meditation but I'm still not experiencing what others seem to experience. I don't get a feeling of relief from my anxiety. It may lessen for a moment but it comes right back full force. I'm not taking any prescription medications as they do nothing but "block" and are a false way to deal with anxiety and depression. I've been down that road before and they only numb me to my emotions. Hopefully at some point, anxiety and depression will lift for good. I don't believe anyone is meant to live with this in their lives on a daily basis.

Focus

I am learning to focus more... however I still get distracted so still have a way to go...

Mindfulness of Breathing

It's important to live in the present. Life is beautiful, cherish every moment.

Focus

Focusing on my breathing through my nose allows me to relax more

Breathing

Taking a few seconds to only focus on something, like breathing and away from stress can be very beneficial.

Breathing

Controlling your breathing helps you calm down and just relax.

Peace

That God is always with me no matter what and i must walk with him not away from him

To tense

I couldn't quite tune into the vibe that I should have been getting with this meditation but still some what relaxed 😎

I learned

It’s important to take time and be aware of your surroundings. And to enjoy quiet and simplicity.

Take time

It’s interesting how the mind can wander and how we are able to control it to truly focus on things we wouldn’t normally notice, no matter how subtle

Awareness

It’s nice to just sit down for a moment and be aware of your surroundings and yourself!

Self care

You have to sit and just take a second to care about yourself no matter how small that act is.

Coming back to body sensations

I learned that my mind is allowed to wander off & can go back to concentrate on my body. Wonderful!

Irritated

I really hate people talking like that. It just released my anger

Connection

I can focus on the sensations of breathing and be able to relax by focusing on this

Present

I learnt that living in the present moment would make me happier and all I need to do I focus on my breath to relax

Like snowflakes...

No two breaths are ever the same. Each one is unique and important.

Focus

By focusing on my breath, My shoulder tension is relieved. I feel lifted and light.

Breathing

I learned that breathing is important. I must take breaths to calm my anxiety

I learned

I get nervous easily How can I reduce this? I don’t want to live this way

Breathing Exercise

I learned that focusing first on your body as a whole helps to later focus on individual parts.

Openness

I learned that taking time out of day for deep breathing meditation helps you feel relaxed and more focus on positivity ✨

Remember

We need to pick up habits that benefit us and remove habits that hinder us from fully progressing in life

Good morning Aura!

Had a rotten, stressful evening last night...amazed to find my blood pressure in a managed zone this morning and did my morning Aura session to ease into my day...hope everyone out there in Auraland has a great day today!

Breathing

3 minutes goes by so quickly! It was interesting to focus specifically on my nostrils while breathing, and really feel the subtle temperature change between the inhale and exhale. Always amazed how by focusing on a specific part of the body, so much is revealed.

Cute

Sometimes there are places and other now the place is always

Breathing

I need to pay more attention to each breathe I take. Feeling its presence in my body and where it goes. How it makes me feel.

Breath differentiation

No breath is ever the same and each one should be cherished so that we can fully appreciate life and all that we’ve been given within our breaths.

Being mad at life

I feel stressed out being med at everyone make me feel really hurt

first session

taking the time to release how i’m breathing in and out relaxes me

Lack there of

I wasn't able to focus or relax completely. Need to do better in this area.

Essential

Breathing is essential beyond the oxygen intake. When agitated simply focusing on your breath and how it feels can ease it. Relax tense muscles. Help deal with pain. It is a nice break to slow your thoughts down to just what feels like to breathe

Here. Now.

I need to focus on what is happening right now. Don’t stress about what hasn’t happened yet. Just breath and focus on what is right in front of you.

Breathing

I learned that I am easily distracted by the overwhelming amount of stress and anxiety that fills my life, and the only thing I can control is my breathing, one breath at a time.

My fifth session and..

This is my fifth session, i feel like i got the breathing and the focusing right this time. So whoever is having a hard time in that, just be easy with yourself and give yourself some time, and you’ll get there.

Meditation

I learned to meditate today for 3 minutes. It’s easy for the mind to drift as mine did a few times but I came back to concentrating on my breathing

I learned that

I have to take time for me. I need to care for me first in order to care for others to my best ability

Myself

My anxiety and stress doesn’t control me. I control myself and I need to just breathe. I used to think that the quote “just breathe” was corny but now I realize the importance in just breathing.

Positive Breathing

With every breathing exercise I imagine inhaling positive thoughts &/or feelings & exhaling the negative. Example: I inhale love & I exhale hate. I inhale peace & exhale anxiety. I inhale kindness & exhale anger. I’m learning to let go of the negativity

Breathing and being mindful of your breathing can affect your mood immensely

I need to be mindful of my breathing more often throughout my daily activity

I do not like the feel of the Ir in my body and it’s all very new and unfamiliar to me

Each breath is different for the last and to focus on your body and how your breath feels through it letting your attention focus on the senses in you

Inner Strength ❤️

Dear all, today I found myself reflecting on what have 10 years of regular/daily practice of mindful meditation given me , how has it benefited my life? The first thing that came to me was inner strength. The last ten years for me, like most of us I’m sure, have been filled with the beautiful but also very challenging experiences. Having a daily mindfulness practice has enabled me to feel strong, steady and calm through those times. I just feel so moved at the power of cultivating mindful awareness! So I just wanted to say if you’re a beginner then keep on practicing even on the days where you feel temped not to as it will enrich your life more than you can begin to imagine! Love and Kind Wishes Carla-Jo ☺️🙏🏻❤️

Mindfulness of Breathing

My mind loves to wonder as I attempt meditation so I am grateful for this reminder to focus on the sensations of my breath. Sometimes counting my breaths keeps me too much in my head, where as sensation awareness helps me stay focused on my body. 🙏🏻

Releasing back tension 🧘‍♀️

I took my awareness of breath to my back where I feel tension when I’m under stress. I hold the tension without really thinking about it because I’ve become accustomed to it. It’s nice to focus on that part of my body and try to release some of the tension. I should do this at least once everyday! Thanks 🙏 Carla-Jo

10/10

I noticed how every time someone says to pay attention to your breathing, I always focus on my stomach. I can’t seem to focus anywhere else when I breathe

Breathing

I learned that thinking about the sensations of my breath making me focus more on my breathing
