Morning priming for gratitude- 4/11
I felt that I wasn’t in the moment during this meditation and I should try to focus on what is happening right now more later on today and through out my week.

Gratitude for myself. I need to remember to be grateful for me as I struggle with depression and anxiety that is difficult for me but this helped me realize that it does not have to be hard. Therefore, I will write 3 things I am thankful for each day this week. SCD.

Intentioning...
This was a great session on becoming aware of something we are grateful for and setting an intention for the day to find more things to be even more grateful for. Excellent for beginners and a great reminder for the more experienced! I am grateful for Aura and for my phone & my thumbs... Wow it’s already working!! Try this one my Precious Patty 😉 ❤️✌🏼

I did this meditation at the suggestion of one of our Aura tribe. I was having a hard time coming up with something about myself, other than the obvious. As I sit here, I’m thinking “I have to go here, go there, do this and that”. And that’s where my gratefulness lies today! I can get up and do things. I can sit on the floor and then stand up without assistance. I can reach up, carry things, push things. I can ride a Harley. Not bad, for an old lady! Thank you and love to all. 🙏❤️

Too much breathing.
There was too much emphasis on the breath in this practice for me. I like gratitude meditations so I would have preferred to concentrate more on things I am grateful for. I and not a fan of breathing meditations anyway.

This was a great meditation to begin the morning! My only challenge with this meditation was in trying to have my mind focus on only one thing I was grateful for; a multitude of things swirled through my mind.

As I was finishing up this meditation, my dog came up to me and pushed his head into my hands, and sat there watching me as I was breathing. Sometimes we forget to be grateful for the little things, like wet noses and fur on everything 🐾

Gratitude 🙏🏻
Starting my day being mindful of the many, many little things I REALLY AM grateful for changes my whole day. I slow down. I am more respectful toward others and things. I am in a more positive mindset. My state of being brings more positivity toward me as it casts away like the tide to lighten the burdens of others around me. It is reciprocal.

Attitude of Gratitude
When I am truly grateful for everything more good things start to magically show up. The Universe is reflecting back to me what I’m putting out and for the first time in my life I can feel happiness in my soul! I closed my eyes and sent that thankful/happy/loving vibe out to everyone and it comes back to me times infinity! I’m a tidal wave of magic love and light reaching out to touch the world! I’ve been lit on fire and ain’t nothing stopping me now! #Love&Light #GirlOnFire #GoldenLife

Smiling...
She had me smiling as I became More grateful for so many things (even though she said 1 thing). How could I try to limit it to one? We have so much to be grateful for that is not materialistic (trees, puppies, sunrises & sunsets, eyes to see them with) it’s just too bad when we get focused on what we “don’t” have or make happiness conditional (if only I had this or that I would be happy). Be Grateful for what you have & watch more magically start to come to you to be grateful for. Thanks Aura I am certainly grateful for You! ❤️☮️🍀

My husband and I have been married 5 years in December. He’s always the first thing to come to mind when I think about what I’m grateful for. Thinking of him during this session immediately brought a smile to my lips and warmth throughout my entire body!!! I only wish it didn’t take me so very long to come up with something about myself to be grateful for 😕 In time I hope that will change.

I love the notion of a morning “priming “ for gratitude. I also love that this meditation allowed you to think of one thing that you are grateful for, followed by specifically guiding you to think of one thing in your body you are grateful for. I am grateful for this meditation!

My morning gratitude 🌞
If feels good to wake up earlier than usual and feel rested, to enjoy looking out my bedroom window at the trees across the street and to see the light fog that has not yet burned off. I feel grateful that I can enjoy the sense of sight! I’m so glad I chose this session for my morning meditation, it’s short but sweet💕 It’s going to be another beautiful day.

Morning priming for gratitude
I learned that this helped me become more relaxed and calmed my body, soul and mind. I feel very refreshed and ready to take in the day in a positive healthy way. A good start to your morning sets the tone for the rest of the day, I don’t care what anyone says! This mediation was very beneficial and helped me. It’s important to remember to not only do this in the morning but throughout the day! Gratitude is so important to me and I practice it everyday but I can always improve and could use some encouragement, sees how I am only human with flaws and weaknesses. We all fall short sometimes so this was definitely what I needed to kick start my Saturday morning! I am forever grateful or this mindful moment and mediation 🥰🧘🏼‍♀️

Grateful for my body?
Not so much. I AM grateful for several things this morning! I'm grateful to hear that Aura friend Kathy’s father is doing SO MUCH better today as he transitions into longer-term care. Grateful that my mother is paying for me to have massage therapy with my old friend, client and network marketing cohort Virginia to help alleviate some of the discomfort I live with daily after my stroke. Grateful that my two teenage children are working to get our kitchen cleaned up this morning without being asked for a millionth time!

Great start to the day ❤️
With all the negatives I can so easily focus on with my anxiety, it’s nice to be able to stop and focus on the things that I am grateful for. Regardless of how worried I may be feeling there is ALWAYS something to be grateful for. For example, I recently have been very anxious about my daughter’s separation anxiety. However, not only am I grateful for my daughter, but I’m grateful for the fact that I care enough to worry about her. Perhaps with a little effort, I can turn some of these negatives into positives. A great way for me to start and continue my day.

Gratitude gets lost in our lives from day to day I think it is super important to be able to take a step back and bring gratitude back into our lives from time to time. At this moment I am super great full for the benefits of being in the military. Lately I have been extremely negative towards my job but I need to think about all the amazing things it does for me. Medical... housing allowance... education...

Anxious
Before meditating I was driving into work and became extremely anxious. I tried to calm the breath but that did not work. This meditation took my racing mind and heart and was able to calmly bring me back down to center, while acknowledging that my anxiousness can be turned into gratitude for growth and learning and perceptiveness that I was giving someone was else my power and I’m ready to take it back and let it be mine.

Control Freak
I am learning that fear for me is rooted in not being able to control what goes in my life. It’s debilitating. Its amazing how gratitude changes that feeling of fear to allowing God to be in control. Definitely have to meditate daily to form this habit of gratitude.

Relax
There are always so many things to be stressed and worried about. I just need to deal with them or write them down - get it out of my system and deal with it later. I can’t let it get me all tangled up. Let’s start looking to those things we take for granted and realize how precious they are because they could be gone in an instant. Relax and enjoy.

It feels nice to acknowledge being grateful to my body for being able to create & grow another healthy little precious life inside of me. It’s a beautiful blessing & so amazing what the female body is capable of doing! Anywhere from 4-7 weeks & I will finally meet my 1st & only daughter after having 3 boys. This helps me to remember when I’m uncomfortable or can’t sleep, to stop & savor & enjoy these last few weeks! 💕

Slowing Down

Morning priming for gratitude
I learned that how we start our mornings sets the tone for the rest of the day. This meditation practice really helped me. I’m grateful to have the day off work this morning and to be able to spend this day with my kiddos and able to use PTO at work, so I’ll still be able to be paid. Be able to sleep in this morning and have some quality time with my kiddos means the world to me. One thing I was grateful for with my body was being able to stay focused and my growth in mindfulness, everyday I grow more and I stay more focused and centered. I really enjoyed this mediation and I can’t wait to go on with my day and see how my awareness is different and just take it all in. I will be continuing to do this practice to start my mornings. It was very helpful to me. 🧘🏼‍♀️🙏🏼♥️

First thing i am grateful for while i am here is my body. I love my body and i know that he has so many abilities, that i am not consciously aware of. It served me well even in times when i was not too good to him. I forgive myself and will go on with practicing not to get in my bodies way when it tried to heal and uplift me. I know about the power that my mind can have over certain important functions. And i will be more gentle.

Grateful for my Nanna
Today is my Nanna’s funeral and so I desperately needed Auras help this morning as I prepare. This was perfect to shift my focus from being sad at what I have lost, to being grateful for all the years and memories that I had with my nanna. Then when choosing something to be grateful for to do with my body, I simply gave my body gratitude for being alive. With chronic health problems I can often be critical of my body, so this was different and felt good just to be grateful at the most basic level to be alive. So I am hoping that I can take this gratitude with me today, and though it will be an emotional day, I will be surrounded by loved ones which is another reason to be grateful in of itself.

Shifting...
Great positive practice to get us in a a state of Gratitude. Using our breathe to shift our focus to what is good and right. I rely on one of my favorite sayings here to keep me focused on what I want, “Where Focus goes, Energy flows!” Becoming better at Focusing on: What’s Good?! What’s Right?! What needs done? Shifts our Focus away from: What’s bad?! What’s Wrong?! Who can I Blame?! This little shift will change your whole world for the better!! Try it! Namaste ❤️🙏🏼🍀

I found it interesting that you can “prime” yourself for gratitude, but the concept does make sense. If you adjust yourself to something first thing in the morning, then you’ll be more open to it for the rest of the day. I’m curious to know if there are any meditations/life coachings on aura that follow the same concept but prime for courage to get up and make the most of your day? If anyone had any recommendations please let me know. Thanks ❤️

There’s so many days when I get busy with my day before I do my meditation. But today I specifically decided to do my meditation before I got involved in anything. I randomly chose this meditation and it was about setting your day for gratitude, oh my goodness what a gift! I am loving gratitude. When I am focused on gratitude and I am being grateful, there isn’t space for doubt, anger, frustration, sadness...

I felt good and happy that I fell asleep last night. This morning when I woke up, I was also happy.
I learned that I was able to sleep well and be guided while I was asleep. When I awoke and recharged my batteries with gratitude, my body feels happy and grateful to be awake. My person became my mum that she always got looks after and over me from a distance in my dream last night. I was also grateful for my hear, soul and mind. Because of the things I have dealt with that I needed to look after these three things.

Being grateful for a part of my body
This was something I never thought of, one thing about my body I am grateful for. Something I need to be more mindful of is being more appreciative of my body than judging it.

I learned to recognize when I start my day that there is something to be grateful for, even if it’s the smallest things in life. We often bypass what’s given to us but it’s good to take a moment to appreciate them.

Good morning!
I feel refreshed! Gratitude is something we all take for granted. We don’t sit in it and hold it and appreciate it as much as we should as we are too focused on the next big thing, the next goal, the next improvement. But today, now, right here is a beautiful thing. I have my family. I have my health. I am blessed. Thank you today, you did not have to be here. But you are, and for that, I will be here as well.

Day one
Feels really good to be starting a new journey with morning mindfulness. My days are so full that I’m craving a more inward focused morning as opposed to checking email and social media. Those things can wait till later. After my first session I feel relaxed and reset. I also noticed how hard it was to stay focused.
S
Suzanne
I feel grateful that I’m changing up my routine for the better. Mornings are an anxious time for me. I isusally spend hem scrolling on social media. It’s empowering to change this dynamic.
Even a few deep breaths in the morning are very centering. Priming first gratitude is a lesson to be taken in again and again.

Back again
I learned that a couple of days without any major anxiety doesn’t mean you’re over it. Last night whilst watching something on tv I felt some very difficult emotions which in turn I felt a surge of adrenaline course through my body. It scared me at first and then annoyed and disappointed me that I didn’t have control over it. I’m working hard to just allow and question this but it’s so intense sometimes that all I want to do is make it go away. I am human and I am trying that is all I can do x

Feeding the positive wolf
The old story of the two wolves went into my thoughts at the end of this session. I noticed that we not only starve the evil wolf, but we fed the positive wolf with things to be grateful for. We can always feed the positive wolves with basically everything, because we can be grateful for anything.

I can take delight in the stare if bring grateful . How could I be anything but. It is a shift to my basic nature, a fruit of the spirit.

I’m seriously thinking YES this meditation works
I learned that if you meditate it helps kill all the things that stress you out through out the days like if you are thinking about moving out or something like that or someone in your family has died and you may have never discovered that they may have COVID-19 and then maybe you can meditate and relax and stay calm and quiet and pray lord for peace and patience and god’s grace and presence and god’s there with you and he will comfort you through the whole thing one thing I have noticed that when I meditate I feel like god’s really there with me and he will never leave you or forsake you that is why I love meditations ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

Gratitude
Found myself thinking about colour, and how grateful I am for the way it enriches my day - not just compute in nature, but in my study; the book covers, pens, inks. It’s a thing I’ve never thought about before in the context of gratitude. I’m recalling visiting New England in the fall and the vibrancy of the leaf colours there, which of course we get in the park over the road too - especially when the long, warm light of autumn causes them to dazzle and shine.

Top of the morning
I am grateful for just accepting that I wasn’t ok this morning. I yearn to be a father and taking care of my nephew this morning made me realize that I wasn’t ok without having this. Sometimes, I get weighed down by the questions, comments, or cornering moments of when my wife and I will have a kid. I become exhausted as if we are not trying. But I understand where some people intent is. It’s just that it becomes overwhelming to get this question all the time. I am trying to get better but I’m struggling. I am just thankful that He woke me up this morning despite this morning’s setback.

I am very firm believer in living a life bound in gratitudes for the world and others in my life, but I don’t wake up remembering to be grateful for myself. This was a very nice reminder to find gratitude in the great and small things that I give myself.
