Marita

Great excercise

Great excercise to start your day! I felt less anxious after the excercise. Highly recommended.

Major

Excellent

This meditation incorporated moments of silence at just the right times. The perfect blend of speaking and silence.

Rich

Hands

Aware of the feeling and position is hard to define with words. Taking my focus to think about their position removed me from other thoughts. Practice makes better practice ...

Harvey

Hands

A brilliant lesson on how to change focus , it truly worked for me. Thank you for expanding my ability to cope.

Charlotte

Control

I can control my thoughts and dominate them rather them dominating me

Sarah

Simple + Effective

This put a blanket of calm over me, and it was just a simple awareness exercise. I will be referring back to this one many times :)

Sunny Day 11-10-17

I learned that I take my hands for granted. This was an excelled, but shot little mediation for me. I am recently healed from dog bite wound on my finger and washing my hands for the first time was AWESOME! I could really feel the sensation the woman was talking about in this meditation. Her voice was drew me in. Thank you, Aura! Happy Day, Everyone!

Jaia

Focus

I felt like I was training my mind be in a simple state and just focus on one thing, my hands. I felt relaxed and concentrated on focusing on how my hands felt.

Learn to be Mindful

There’s great a difference between being shallowly aware of where your hands are, and being deeply mindful of the small tiny sensations that your hands feel. Once you start being mindful of the tiny things (even for just a minute or two) then that’s a step, albeit a tiny one, into further knowing and acknowledging yourself—a vital aspect of self-care

Shannon

awareness

existing is thinking, living is awareness. it is imperative to be aware of everything you may be feeling, physically or emotionally, even for just a couple of moments a day. this is how we grow.

Michael

Morning

I have mostly meditated later in the day but Morning mindfulness was a great way to start my day. I think before I have gotten into my day.

Zach

What I learned

I learned that I can be able to focus my attention on something without thinking

Alexis

I learned

I can focus without really thinking about it and I can feel the weight if something I once never realized the weight of.

Kim

Sensation

I learned to really focus my mind in a particular area of the body to feel all the nerves and motions with kindness and mindfulness. Relaxing!

Tammy

Hands

To identify all the feelings that arise in our hands. They are so important in our daily lives. Focusing on them soothed my mind so it would not wander.

Melissa

Run away mind

I am more aware of how fast my mind takes off. I just started focusing on adding meditation into my daily routine, so I know it’s going to be a bit before my mind is less hectic. I realized I am still allowing my mind to take off. A little sad I still allow it to happen, half the time I would rather daydream than focus. I am also grateful to have more insight into where I am at.

Stuart

Understanding

We so easily forget understanding is not just about others but about ourselves too. In a world of such frenetic activity find some peace... breathe

Jim

Hands

I enjoyed the focus on such an overlooked body part! I am satisfied with the length of my journal entry, thank you.

Sonny

Hands

That I can keep the whole of my awareness in the palm of my hands.

Alyssa

2/5/18

This meditation helped me to keep my focus because I had to notice various sensations in my body.

Sarah

Focusing on things besides problems/thoughts

I learned that shifting my attention and awareness on everyday objects with great significance is clearing for the mind and body. It allows me to escape from everyday stress and busy thoughts. And take time to bring the focus back to myself in way.

Matthew

Hands...e’yup!

One each...end of each arm...ten fingers each...there they are. Yup! Hands, I’ve got my full allotmemt!🤨👍

Drea

I truly love this

It helps me calm down Nd to be not stressed who knew dat breathing would be this relaxing!!!!!!!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Sonia

I have trouble breathing or catching breath again. Couldn’t relax much.

It may take few days of practice . It was hard to focus . I need to feel happy.

Cherre

Learned 2

I learned that I needed to take some time to just breath, not let stress (in myself or from others) get to me, that my palm points when placed on my lap give off a mix between tingly and a buzzing sensation.

Amanda

I learned

That I need to just focus on my breath. and focus on my breathing and mindfulness of my body.

Jozhiah

My first session

This was a great first session I really needed this I was feeling stressed out think about tomorrow but this brought me back to now and now I feel relaxed and calm and in the here and now

Ella

Wow

This is very relaxing, my first time meditating with Aura was great!

Jonathan

Beautiful & Peaceful

First time meditating with Aura! It was an amazing experience.

Simona

How I Feel

After this, i feel more calm and relieved. I was feeling sick, and tired, and this helped my calm my focus on healing and improving myself to accomplish the tasks of today.

Amber

Distractions

I can find peace in a moment, a second. No letter the distractions around me.

Shay

Relaxing

Noticed to focus on my breathing and thinking about my hands. How I felt was trying to relax my mind from everything that’s going on.

Sadie

Calming

While my focus wasn’t always where I wanted it to be during the meditation, I noticed that I feel a lot calmer afterward.

Taja

Left Hand Hold

When called to pay attention to my hands the back of my hands felt warm on my thighs. When awareness to the palms, my right felt bony and achy but the left felt warm like I was holding a golden ball of light. When I noticed I got distracted, lost focus twice and then focused on the breath.

Debb

Hands

Although it is as difficult for me to focus on my hands, I do feel calm and relaxed.

Nice, calming alternative

This is a good alternative to always focusing on the breath or continually scanning the entire body. Having just done a longer breathing meditation beforehand, in which I began to lose focus by the end due to feeling drowsy, this hand meditation got my mind focused again. I feel calm and more connected.

Kelly

Hands

Found it easier to focus on my hands than on my breathing. Three minutes whizzed by.

Shelly

Thoughts

I found myself thinking of something. Labeled it THINKING and came back to the meditation without feeling like I ruined it. I’m learning.

Griffin

Anxious

I felt jittery uneasy and anxious today and the last few days

Anita

Insomnia

I feel easily stress and anxious - I’m doing too much things at the same time . I learned I need to slow down. I still can’t sleep without sleeping tablets
