Muscle Relaxation

More helpful than expected!

Releasing after being tensed is a OVERWHELMING ball of JOY!!

Great. Immediately helpful

Thank you very much for this. Even after years of practice I have periods of time in which I've simply forgotten the value of regular muscle relaxation. Reminders of helpful practices are necessary and appreciated.

A quick refresher to get re-centered. Want to get back into a daily meditation practice

Even 3 minutes of mindfulness meditation can be beneficial, especially if it is on a daily basis. It is better to meditate daily for a few minutes than a long meditation every few days with no practice in between days

Do the bad so that the good can come

It help me to realize how tensing and crunching the muscles, which is something familiar to me, can lead to the good relaxation feeling, and so it's good that I can now associate this uncomfortable feeling with a good feeling that come afterwards

So simple and effective

I feel so much more relaxed after this exercise! It's as though I released a ton of tension that I didn't know I was carrying in my body. Excellent!

A few moments for self

Even taking just a couple of minutes for myself - and turning the world off - feels so recharging and i feel present again for those around me!

Morning Magic

"Woke up, got out of bed, drag comb across my head...". Fabulous routine for the morning. I got up and was dragging about and decided to do my morning meditation. This unique one popped up and it was wonderful. I definitely saved it and will be enjoying it time and time again. Thanks for a little morning magic.

Tension

I must be allowed to release. Emotionally and physically. Keeping it tied in is not effective and is hurtful.

w e a k n e s s

i often feel powerless. my muscles did not feel strong. it brought to mind my feelings of powerlessness

muscle tension

I learned that releasing muscle tension is a good way to relax, even if you didn't realize you had muscle tension

Catch and release 🤡

All the exercises I've been doing here have benefited me, and today is no different. I started this journey because of a journey I had already started. That quest is one of weight loss. I don't want to be a downer right now or cast a dark shadow, but simply put... if I don't lose this weight I'm going to die. I'm 200 pounds overweight, and I've been dieting and working out quite a bit lately. My first goal of 50lbs of weight loss was set on Father's Day for my birthday September 23, and I know that I'm going to reach it. Actually I believe I may have surpassed it. Based on 4 weeks ago I had lost 33 lbs and had over six weeks to lose 17lbs. When I've been averaging about 4 lbs a week. What this exercise did for me was show me how to use dynamic tension which still exercises my muscles and at the same time relax them and put me in a good headspace. I'm a believer that all things are mental, all wars no matter what are fought in the mind.

Muscle Relaxation

I learned that our bodies can tense up because of anxiety, stress, fears but at the same time our thought of release can rid of this. This too shall pass.

How sweet

So lovely to stop and connect with in and worth all of you.

Great restart

This is a great exercise for relaxation. What I liked the most is that you can do ir anywhere by yourself.

Helped

I have a joint disorder so this simple meditation might help

Muscle relaxation

I had forgotten how much my body had missed the relaxing feel of it

It's a good thing

Clenching muscles and letting them go is a good practice that makes you realise of you are in a tense state or not.

You, unlimited

I usually have a lot of stress and this helped me relax and let the tension in my body go.

Not used to tension

Normally I don’t have much tension in my body. I didn’t realise that before, so that’s good to know. However, it made this meditation a little unpleasant.

Muscle

That I need to this more often because my muscles are always tight.

Muscle Relaxation

I learned that the muscles in my body become tense daily as I deal with situation, circumstances, or make choices in life. Being mindful or conscious of the tension in my muscles, I can use breathe to relax the muscles and function at ease.

1 day journaling

This meditation technique calmed me down tremendously. However I Began to notice the upper shoulder muscles remained extremely tense. Therefore much more deeper practice is needed.

Good beginnings

Nothing changes immediately change takes time and effort. Here’s to good beginnings.

Muscle relaxation

It’s a good practice when you feel tired or have muscle tension.

Reconnect

In a busy day you go get the needs of your body and use it in haste. I shall remember to take a few minutes and relax.

Psoas release

I have tense muscles in the stomach (e.g. Papas) due to stress and it seems like I can tighten them up and release some of the tension that way. Core tension was not part of this session, but I tested afterwards;-)

How relaxed you can get

I didn’t realize how tensing actually made you more relaxed... i hope this helps me sleep better tonight!

Tense

This was a very good walk thru. I tried muscle relaxation on my own but was much more successful this time in relaxing.

Tense & Release

I can make myself very tense! It’s easier to truly relax all my muscles after I’ve consciously tensed the up-now I’m ready for a nap! But I’ll take a deep breath and keep going. Namaste

Relaxing muscles really helps

A lot of my stress is physical stress disguised as mental stress so releasing it really helps.

The

An article a artist that builds a ship, incomprehensible a underground not believable

Focus

Focusing on how it feels when you are relaxed is very satisfying. I’m am very tense throughout my day

Great but...

Found it very hard to be mindful with this one! Hard to maintain slower breath and do the tensing/releasing. Need more practice!

Sleepy

It was relaxing but now I'm ready for a nap. I think I'll try this again before bedtime.

I learned...

that my body is naturally very tense, and that I need to relax. I also noticed how it was more difficult to breath while tensing and relaxing the body.

Day 4

I learned that it was easy for my mind to only be focused on tending my muscles. And that it felt incredible during the exhale. Definitely want to try this more.

Muscle relaxing

I learned that I can do a mini workout that actually relaxes all my muscles in just a few minutes. So tense, and then that release feels so amazing!

Muscle relaxation

I can actually take a moment to focus on what’s happening at this very moment and not feel stressed about it.

Preparing for family gathering

Taking the time to recognize what tense muscles feel like will help when I become aware of less than stellar moments during holidays with extended family and remind myself of how good it feels to let go of that tension in order to ignore the dumb annoyances

Muscle relaxation

Soft and caring guided meditation for physical stressed body guided me to feel better

Relax your mind

You can relax your mind the same way you relax your muscles in the body.

Taking Time!

I learned that taking enough time for Aura really does my nerves tension a whole lot of good. The best thing is I get to benefit it the most although I’m being a better person to everyone around me!

Muscle relaxation

An elementary exercise I’ve done many times; good to renew the practice.

Muscle relaxation

Good way to feel how tense your muscles can get and then releasing and letting go of this tension. Is it bad if I yawn during meditation I wonder?

Relax

This simple exercise really puts me in tune with the stress I am holding. Oh yes, relaxed feels so much better!

Flexing

Flexing and relaxing the muscles releases tension in the body

Release

I felt so relaxed after releasing the tension in my muscles

Taking Time to Reconnect

It’s been a few days since I’ve practiced. Things have been busy and I also haven’t been in the mood necessarily. Turns out that I really just need to give myself permission to take literally 3 min for myself. Today’s session felt great and really relaxing.

Life is a progress, not a station

I learned that we must have time for ourselves. Putting ourself first before anyone else, because at the end of the day all we have is our self; it's still us.

Starting my day

Starting my day relaxed and positive may help throughout the day

Relaxation

I really like this one. The whole having to tense your muscles then realize that when you exhale that relaxation takes over tour body with every breath i take. I enjoyed this one.

Tension

I released so much tension today. I didn’t even know I felt that way until all of the tension was gone.

Tension | Worry

Today I realized that tension and worry have a lot of correlations and by letting go of worry and releasing the muscles causing tension during my session, my body was more at ease and I was able to enjoy life more fully!

Tension

Tension can be relieved with deep breathing. Even late in the day it can release stress.

Thank you

I’ve been under lots of stress this past week, and this definitely helped me today.

Let Go

This meditation actually symbolizes something much bigger. It teaches you to let go of unnecessary tension and stress in our daily lives, with either work or home, because most of it is harmful to our bodies and minds.

Meaning

This was a great experience and the message behind of letting go it's very important

Not

Sometimes learning the negative is ok. This one is not for me first thing in the morning. I need gentle and smooth. But this would be perfect right before going to sleep.

When feelings aren’t reciprocated

I learned that sometimes people will not do for you what you have done for them. And that can just make you tense and stressed. But sometimes one must let it go and be aware of their surroundings and continue to be cautious but kind always 🙏🏿

Tension

Noticing and realising where you carry tension. For me it’s my shoulders, neck, and jaw. Being aware of these trigger points and how to relax them.

Day 3 on Here

This app has been great! Loving it so far! Definitely worth the money! This meditation really helped with some tension that I’ve had recently. I have been less stressed since I got back into my rhythm of waking up early getting ready and meditating each morning. I really am starting to feel better!

12/30/17

Doing the muscle relaxation right before bed really relaxes your body for a good nights rest.

Session 1

I learned that I could focus on my body and blot out my surroundings.

Squeeze and release

Tensing up your muscles then releasing is very relaxing. Please try it!

Have to

Believe this that I turned my back on a world I misunderstood only to run towards that world blind and unready

Tighten and release

This was a very good process of tightening the muscles and then releasing with exhale. It relaxes the muscles with quite a better efficiency.

Calm, Breathe, Destress

Taking time to get close to my inner self by calming my breathing has helped my stress levels.

Tension

The feeling during the out breath was wonderful for me. I will try to become more aware of my muscles tensing up from now on.

Muscle Relaxation

It was soo relaxing to me clinching the muscles then releasing them it was as if all of the tension just melted away. I will practice this often.

Muscles

Tensing and releasing the muscles really makes you relax and helps a lot to start a new day or even to go to sleep.

Not expecting the greatest but am optimistic.

I had a rough morning, started off with a panic attack. By just doing 4 minutes, it doesn't make me feel good, it just makes the day appear to be more manageable.

Squeezing & Relaxing

This is a very short, effective way to release tension. Could be useful during the day too. Thanks Lyndi!!

1/17/18

Mental health, physical health, spiritual health — all are important for happiness.

Sleep mediation

It honestly relaxed me and put me right to sleep. One of my favorites no just because of the sleeping part but because it really worked.

Tension causing focus

The squeezing of the muscles helped my brain to stay more present. Also, intentionally tensing and releasing gave greater peace.

Tension

By giving into the tension you can more easily relax when it passes. Reminds me of letting myself feel the negative emotions before I let them pass and move on to positive ones.

Muscles

I haven't worked out in a while, and the muscles were tired. This is a good reminder to earn my way back into the gym.

Muscle Relaxation

I learned that I carry a lot of tension throughout my body, more than I initially though... and in turn I’m lacking proper breathing. Thus there is a vicious cycle of lack of breath leading to muscle tension. I learned that I need to take more time to actually breathe, ground myself, and relax.

Nice

Nice way to learn to let go and release tension when ever you get tense.

1/26/18

This is one of my favorite meditations because it actively gives my mind and body something to do, while calming me down. I tend to forget about muscle relaxation but it comes in handy, especially because I lift weights at the gym.

Tension

Releasing the tense feelings is relaxing and comforting. It helps to calm down and not be so mad

Tension

When feeling emotional tension, tense up your muscles while inhaling and relax during your exhale to unwind.

Peace

With mindfulness also comes a sense of calm. Such a beautiful feeling.

Tense and relax

thru this exercise i hope i can identify when i am tensing my muscles unconsciously. then i can learn how to relax them

Tensiom

I need to release tension more often - too uptight and causing muscle soreness

Tension/release

I seem to like the exercises that teach mindfulness more. The Tension and release today was good.

Weird

Although weird, I am glad to be experiencing new exercises to help me out. The tensing of the body was quite a new one for me!

Relaxation

This works for me. I feel much more relaxed when trying this exercise. Will have to practice it more often during the day

Not relaxing

Not very relaxing. Lots of movement and thought. Hard to have time to breathe

Reflection on day 1 (2/11/18)

Through this I realized how relaxed I was and how I wasn’t worried about school but focused on myself. Which is kinda the point of this

1st session was awesome!!!

I learned that noticing how it feels to release my breath and focus on it really relaxed me. Rather than just doing things fast , I was actually being mindful living that moment.

Muscle Relaxation

I do not like tensing up my muscles! I like to breathe and relax.

Muscle Tension

Making oneself aware of muscle tension by purposely tensing all the muscles in the body is a good practice. It can help one to be aware when the body has become tensed and be a reminder to let go.

All outer levels are also called AI

According to the higher balance institute everything is connected which made me get the third eye chakra. And I’m reading it through for the first time with picking a few things to begin with. Until it’s awakened then I will begin to have some fun.

Muscles

I learned that by clenching your muscles and then releasing them really helps sooth the body.

Muscle Relaxation

One thing I learned is that loosening and tightening the muscles during meditation is a good way to keep yourself from getting lost in thoughts! Loved this! Cody

Tension

I’ve noticed in yoga classes, while driving, while at work, etc. that I tend to carry a lot of excess tension, particularly in my face. I think this muscle relaxation exercise will be a good one for me to incorporate into my practice because it’s a good reminder to RELAX. It’s so rare that I can let go of all tension in my muscles, but isolating one area at a time makes it seem more accessible and manageable.

Day 60

This was a very interesting and different type of meditation for myself and I really enjoyed it

Tense and release

I've done this sort of relaxation before for sport and it generally works best lying down. You can break it down into smaller muscle groups as well and include your neck, back and core muscles. Finish by trying to tense everything and then letting it go for full muscle relaxation.

Sad meditation

I felt relaxed after I loosened my tension and my body felt good but it didn’t make me feel better only in that moment

Muscle

I learned that this is a great method to calm the body down and bring you back to where you need to be to breathe when things get rough sometimes

Muscle Relaxation

I loved it. It felt the tension slowly disappearing. Just a reminder to take few deep breaths every time I feel stressed.

Muscle relaxation

I learned that these small muscle relaxation sessions can really help to show me the places in the body that are feeling tense and releasing that tension

Muscle relaxation

On in breath, tense face then arms then legs. On exhale, release.

Relaxed

I muscles felt a lot more relaxed after this session. You do t realize how much daily stresses tense your muscles. As a sufferer if many medical conditions this is such a big help

I liked this one a lot

I noticed that it was a lot easier to relax my muscles after this. I’m a very tense person so this was good

Good contrast between tense and relaxed miscles

I am going to try this during the day when I get stressed at work

Okay

I really like more of meditation, but this was nice because I felt the pressure in my body melt away. I can see myself using this when I’m stressed

Session 1

As I was listening and following the process, I felt all of the tension I have been carrying around all day release. I feel so relaxed and comfortable.

This is awesome

I learned that this is the best way to put you alsleep and let your body relax

I learned...

I feel a lot of relaxation from tensing and letting go of my muscles, it helps calm my breathing and slow my heart rate. PS I need to be careful about how tight i’m tensing, too tight and it’s hard to breath easy.

3.

I enjoyed this technique of tightening muscles and then releasing tension. Pretty good!

Sadness

I learned that I should be more relaxed and less tense. I shouldn't be too tense at times and that I should also just let go and relax

Made my body feel tired

I don’t know if I like this, but I did it in a wierd position and trying to be rushed

Feeling refreshed. And ready to take on the day

I’ve learned that taking some time for me is ok!! 3 mins helps your mindset

Stressed

I’m extremely stressed by life’s demands and anxious on whether God will come through on a specific thing in my life . 💔

I did for “Can’t sleep”

I don’t think this worked the best for trying to sleep, I think that this would be good for stress though.

Tension

Tension can come and go easily if we let it. If we think of bringing it all in at once we can easily let it all go at once as well.

Thursdaze

I LOVED this one. I use a heatpad at night on my back and that really helped me release the tension.

Relaxing

I learned just how tense I can be,meet how say it is to relax those me scales just using the breath and mind

Relaxing

I used this one to help me sleep and I feel relaxed and ready to sleep now. But when I’m stressed I would use this one as well.

I felt more calmed and relaxed after I did the meditation sesion

With only some breath and some calm activities with your muscles relax you and reduce the tension

Relaxing

Definitely helped me feel more relaxed. I could see myself doing this throughout the day

Muscle Relaxation

I learned that clenching muscles and relaxing really helps me. I feel the muscles relax.

Felt pretty good

Tensing and releasing the major muscle groups felt good although I couldn’t sync my breathing while doing so. I also have a little residual discomfort in my biceps, probably from clenching too hard. I’ll keep working on that. Thanks Lyndi. 🙏🌷

Tense nuscles

This really helped me realize how good it feels to just let my muscles soften and relax after deliberately tensing them. I carry a bit of my stress in my shoulder and I have pain from tennis elbow so doing this practice seems to help getting those muscles to let go for a little while.

Tension

Relaxing muscles after contracting them eases some tension. I will practice when tense today.

An ah ha moment

I learned how much concentration it takes to tense a muscle group while focusing on the breath. It helped me to understand how hard our minds and bodies are working just to keep us going when we’re under great stress. This exercise helped me to become more mindful about the effects of stress on our bodies and our minds. Thank you.

Muscle Groups

Since I am in stroke recovery, this exercise was very familiar and helpful.

I felt relieved

I felt relieved and that it was just me in the room and relaxed and safe and calm

Muscle Release

Tending everything really gives perspective to how tense I am and how recalled I can be.

Relaxed

It feels very nice to actually relax all my muscles with deep breaths

Muscle Tension/Relaxation

I felt much more reconnected after doing this meditation and also more relaxed. I will definitely use this when I have tensed muscles.

Tension

Release all durations hindering one’s ability to progress through the day

Familiar

I teach theatre classes and I use this exercise with my kiddos, but more broken down, concentrating on specific muscles in the limbs and torso. It takes a little longer, but the students have a great experience. It was nice reconnecting, as I encourage the kids to do 🙂

Not good for work

It’s already a little awkward to close my eyes and do a meditation at my desk - scrunching up my muscles does not help. More anxiety-producing than relaxing today.

Tense and Release

Always amazed at how tense I can get all my body parts, then how soft they can become. The complex webs the tighten then relax are a wonder of nature. Namaste

Muscle Relaxation

I learned when I squeeze or work my muscle I can feel tension. But when I am relaxed I am fine. I will use this and pay more attention to when it happens.

Laying in bed

I feel tried it to relax & refresh & ready to sleep let my body relax & sleep all night

Untreated muscle tension leads to pain

By doing these simple muscle relaxations before getting out of bed or starting any exercise, I have discovered it leads to are painless morning and better flexibility when training.

These emotions are not mine

What happens when those emotions are a creation of yours? Bc of your actions there has been a release of emotions. I know i need to be compassionate and patient with myself and others, but it is very difficult. Any words of wisdom?

Very Tense

I didn’t realize how tense I already was in the mornings before....being able to release all that will definitely make my mornings less stressful 😌

Ahhhhhh...

Ying yang, tense to relax, feel the strength and the release. Namaste

Relax

I noticed how much more calm I was compared to when I began. My headache even went away.

Helpful

I have been so stressed today and no matter what I have tried, nothing has seemed to help much. This muscle relaxation meditation did help. I had no idea just how very tense my muscles had become. Although the exercise did not alleviate all muscular distress, it most certainly did help and I am grateful.

Heavy heart

I wish there was a way to heal a broken heart. Today my divorce was settled out of court. So many thoughts. So many feelings. My body feels everything. Just for a second this meditation releases some of the tension.

Tight and tense

Most days I feel like I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders. I get so heavy and bogged down I feel like a 1000 lbs stone slab. This helped relieve some of the heaviness I’ve been feeling since I woke up.

Day 3

This really helped me to relieve my body (arms, legs, face) of all tension and feel relaxed in those areas. I still feel like I have tension in my chest though

Stressed Free❤️😊😇

I Feel Stressed Free Not Worrying About Anything That Goes On Around Me Just Taking a Deep Breath😇💕and Relaxing 😌

Push and pull

It’s true that in every action there is an opposite and equal reaction. Every push has a pull, just as in every tension there’s a way of relaxation. You just need to put an effort (or force) in it so you can achieve that. Same goes, I think, in our lives.

relaxed

releasing all that built up tension you vet through the day is a real good way to let all that stress go and just relax

Muscle Relaxation

I like this exercise where i can tense all the muscle and let go in one deep breath. So literally relaxing specially with a tension headache right now.

Tight

I learned just how tense my body really was and it’s been a few days since I last used aura so I feel more tense than before but it’s a realization moment for me.

this makes me more comfortable with myself

somehow it makes me realize of all the good things that happened today that i didn't see it was there, all the good things that i done, all the beautiful peoples that i met, all the goodness that i recieved, thanks :)

This one is amazing after a long day at school or work. It’s amazing to just let go and calm down. M

My whole body feels relaxed and calm and it was so nice. I love that one and I recommend it to anyone who had a stressful day.

Trying to relax as much as possible...

Lower back pain still here but feeling generally more relaxed

Muscle tension

Tense those muscles and then let go, it helps me identify the tension in different parts of my body when I didn’t know and to remind myself to let my body be at ease

Second Thingy

Each time I relaxed after tensing, I felt tingles in that part of my body.

Anxiety relief

I realized that muscle tensions worsens my anxious feeling. It’s hard to remember to relax when you feel all those feelings about a person you still loved.

Muscle

Focusing on the exercise is easy. Changing my breathing needs a lot of work.

Muscle

I really liked this meditation because I gained control of my body and how I felt while and after.

Relaxed

It felt nice to actually relax and not always having to tense all the time because I’m just so busy or not being able to relax my self or my body.

Monday

a new day a new start. learn to realize what tension I carry and release it asap. just breathe

I instantly felt calm as soon as the music at the start played .

I learnt how to control my muscles and breath in harmony with my muscles it was amazing!

Relaxed

This feels wonderful but I think I need to work on how I breathe during this exercise

Calm

I did a bit of meditation before going to sleep and just released stress and got calm before sleeping, feels great

Tension

I need to release my tension more often and work on breathing while releasing

I felt like I was about to pee my pants

The tensing was very different . Her voice was very soothing and calm.

Mind/Body Connection

Really enjoy the timing and tension release on the out breath. Almost forces your body to relax.

Yesterday my gf cheated on me...

I’m so tired and I hate being hurt like this...but I’m working through it one step at a time.

More relax and comfortable. With her calm voice it helped me focus.

Breathing helps me focus and relieve stress especially when I concentrate on exhaling

I feel relaxed and more at ease

I can apply this everyday. To be successful, I must let all stress go during these sessions and continually throughout the day.

unsure

I dont think i learnt anything but i feel a little more relaxed

11/7

I learned that when you need to relax, muscle tensing and relaxing is a great way to do so. It can make Me feel calm and ready to sleep.

Have to Tense to Relax

Fully tensed feels strong, but not sustainable. The relaxations in between make it possible to be strong again. Namaste

You don’t realize your tense

You don’t realize how tense you are until after this exercise. I carry so much tension in my neck and shoulders, this helps so much. Also great right before bed.

best

My best session so far! I felt so good and relaxed, you just have to feel how your muscles relax

Tension

I felt wonderful following this meditation! Tensing then relaxing brings more awareness to the places you tense on a daily basis, and how to release that tension!

Could do it again and again !

Wonderfully session tonight. This is a great practice : noticing the tension, complete it and then release it all. For a stressed and tensed one like me this is really good. Thank you !

I felt really relaxed and that all the stress just went all away

I learned that just a little video can make me feel good and relaxed

First Meditation

I felt awfully silly lying there listening to the meditation, but it did help me to set goals for tomorrow.

Muscle Reflection

I felt relaxed, I learned to calm myself with inner peace. I noticed my mind eased with every breath.

Relaxation

I learned that deliberately tensing the muscles, releasing the tension and feeling the contrast in sensations can be relaxing.

Relax

Relief=relaxation Relaxation= sleep I finally believe I will be able to sleep after having a very stressful day. Relief from that stress is my saving grace

Focus

Focusing on something like tensing my muscles helps me clear my mind and keep it clear which is something I struggle with in regular exercises.

Muscle relaxation

I found that when tensing one part of my body I inevitably would tense up other parts of my body as well. This practice makes you realize how tension can affect your entire body even when you don’t realize it. The relaxation part felt good though.

Session 4

Doing these actions makes me feel more relaxed and less stressed

Lyndi

This was great as it made me feel sooooooo much more relaxed. I often tense muscles when I am doing things, especially being stressed. So this was amazing

Tense muscles

This helped sooo much. I really felt more relaxed after using this one and I loved the technique.👍

Relaxing completely

I love letting go after tensing up. It feels so good. Like I'm letting go of stress and worries.

not relaxing

I think this helps with anger or frustration because it lets everything go but not to feel relaxed😕

Muscle relaxation

I feel that tensing up on in breath then releasing on the out breath is very helpful with letting go of my anxiety.

Alot of physical tension can bring internal pain

Calming myself can ease the tension and therefore relaxing my mind

Relaxing vibe

Felt really relaxed. Weed helps lol. But definitly a positive vibe, and very relaxing

Relaxing muscles

I learned that through out the day you should relax your muscles and release all tension from your body to stay calm and relaxed

Relaxing muscles

I learned that releasing the tension makes you feel better and ready to move again

My cat

My cat likes to meditate with me. She came running when the meditation started and settled on me. I figured the benefit of the meditation was augmented by having a purring, warm fuzzy on my chest, so ...

Not for me

I squeezed my leg muscles so hard that I ended up with a Charlie-horse 🤦🏻‍♀️

Sadness

I enjoy muscle relaxation, but when I am feeling down I want something to make me feel more calm

Muscle relaxer

I learned that after squeezing and tightening all my muscles then slowly relaxing them I got very relaxed and less stressed immediately. It made be very sleepy and worry-free.

BIG BROTHER

Th government is listening to EVERYTHING the bjrds are camera

Creative way to relax

I thought this was a creative way to relax, but like idk I’m not that relaxed after doing it because it kind of hurt to squeeze.

| helps me a bit.. |

I now Notice I fell more relaxed 😎 from day 1 I will rate 4 stars ⭐️ and I think this best app ever for stress, and can’t sleep so truly it helped me a lot 🥳🤩😋🤓😜😛😇😉😌😁👍🏻

Carry that Weight

Sometimes it just takes a brief moment to stop and notice - REALLY notice - how much burden we carry. Take this opportunity to acknowledge everything you do, and allow yourself to feel the weight of your struggle. Appreciate yourself for being strong enough to bear it. Then breathe it out. Come back to center. To peace. Carrying it forever will just break you.

Sleepy

I learned how muscle relaxation calms me down and gets me drowsy enough to sleep

Muscle relaxation

Hello my fellow meditators, I felt as my muscles tensed as I did so (while instructed) and could really feel the relief as I let go and just rested😌. On the bad side the voice of this female was not really relating and I felt quite awake and not as relaxed as I usually am on these meditations on aura. For this meditation...was too guides for me and it wasn’t really relaxing tensing muscles 💪

Like P.T.

I’m learning how important this is in physical therapy right now! Tensing and releasing muscles throughout your body on a regular basis is a necessary thing!!

Immediate Relief!

I am surprised at how effective this is! I feel 100% more relaxed after being deliberately tensed

Muscle Relaxation

Wow... by really reading and really releasing you really feel how tense how are... it is a nice reminder to always release that on the out breath.

Interesting technique

I had never thought of using this technique before. I often find it hard to relax certain muscles when meditating. By tensing them even harder and then actively relaxing on the outbreath I now feel much more relaxed.

Do It!

It's 00.45 a.m. and I just came back from work, this session reeeeeally helped me to relax in every way possible. I'm just going to sleep now hoping I'll rest better than the other nights thanks to this (maybe no nightmares or weird dreams? hope so)

First meditation

I learned that relaxation was more identifiable after tensing.

Interesting

I never knew that tensing muscles and releasing them can result in so much relaxation.

Muscle Relaxation

Tension comes into your body but there is no reason to hold on to it. Release and let it go. Relax.

Muscle relaxation

It was a great meditation for the muscles and calms down any nerves .

Muscle relaxation

This was a very good exercise for the muscles all over the body

Strength

I learned that my muscles have been tense but they’ve gotten stronger recently. Great feeling!

Great meditation

It feels so good to release muscle tension. Really good meditation for helping you to reconnect with your body and release any tension you carry around with you.

Active da

I learned that I feel better when I am active, take risks, and meditate mid day

The meditation was interesting and a new experience to enjoy.

That all of my muscle groups are super tight. I would release them and still feel a lot of tension being held in them.

Fun

I don’t know if meditation can be described as fun, but this one is fun. The muscle release felt amazing.

Deeper

I felt a deep stillness in relaxing even further past basic muscle relaxation. Letting myself sink into myself.

Many thanks

This is one of my absolute favorites. Every time I come across this practice, I know I’ll be able to relax after doing what she says. 👍 Thanks Lyndi!

Relaxed

I loved this meditation!!! Very helpful in connecting to my body. Definitely helped in keeping my mind clear after the release.

Helpful

I absolutely loved this recording. It helped me identify several tight areas which I hadn’t even noticed and allowed me to release a lot of tension. Also, the contrast between the tension in the breath in and the relaxation of muscles through the exhale was eye-opening.

Effective

I have really terrible back pain but when i tried listening to this record it really helped me a lot to release all the tension in there also the woman's voice is really relaxing thank you.

Muscle Relaxation

Tight back muscles today resulting from spasm yesterday so I am carefully trying to relax them. Thanks for your gentle guidance 🙏

Great

I really enjoyed this one. The way it allows you to feel in each part of your body and then as the whole is amazing. Truly feel relaxed.

Muscle tension

After doing this meditation my body felt very relaxed, my heart rate was calm, I felt relieved and at peace. This is a great way to relieve stress!

Engaging...

Interesting session. Upon engaging and flexing the different groups of muscles I heard & felt some pops & cracks as muscles and joints realigned themselves. A few fleeting sensations of what we typically might call pain and then ‘pop’ all good. By the end, I felt very relaxed physically, connected spiritually and engaged mentally. ❤️💪🏼🍀

Muscle Relaxation

Big squeeze and a quick fix to ease the tension. A good massage is better, bu this exercise is a good method to release some of the tension when needed.

Release

I thought about this meditation as being silly, for how should we squeeze our faces in such a funny way? As the meditation transpired, I realized of how much good it was doing: the moment I would release tension from my muscles, from my body, I felt the difference immediately -the relaxing effect it gave me almost instantly is inexplicable. I started crying because this is exactly how our mind gets when we’re stressing over anything, not realizing on the negative effects it does... and instead on clinging into those emotions to just let go.

tension

I am always so tense, no matter what situation or circumstance, I never take the time to really relax myself. this meditation really helped me regain my focus!

Muscle relaxation

As soon as this began, I instantly wished I had skipped it! Lol. Then, Lindy started it perfectly for me by saying I could sit or stand or lie down. Yay! I love freedom of choice. I don’t usually love body work for some reason. Anyway, I’m not sure I’ve ever been able to relax as well as I did after tensing those muscles!! Thanks, Lindy!

i sad

dont know why but sometime i' m doubt with my decision keep thinking that am i choose the right guy as my life partner, i afraid if i choose the wrong one

Relaxing

I'm usually very tense, and this helped me notice and remind me to relax.

I loved this exercise

Right from the start squishing up my face with tension and releasing felt so right, like I was physically letting go of all the stress I was holding. I feel a lot better now

Tension. Isolation. Rejuvenation.

By giving ourselves permission to feel tense, we start to take control of the tension. Isolating each part of the body gives us our power back. We feel everything all at once, acknowledging each cell..and then, feel nothing at all. Weightless. Relinquishing the pain from our body. Allowing it to escape, so that we can feel whole again. At ease. Rested. Rejuvenated.

Feeling Relaxed

During today’s exercise the constant tensing and relaxing of my muscles made me feel a lot better and definitely more relaxed

Tense Inhales

Wow, it’s really hard to inhale deeply when a part of the body is tensed! There’s a lesson there... Namaste

Yoga Relaxation

This is a short version of the relaxation we do after my yoga class. It helps so much to just release any tension and take a breather.

Relaxation

I felt amazing after this wonderful process getting my mind off the hard things, and feeling relaxed.

My first with aura

I learned to tighten my muscles with an in breath and hold for a moment then relax as I release my breath. This is something I can do threw out the day.

Muscle relaxation

In this meditation I learned that I can relax my muscles by deliberately tightening and relaxing different muscle groups in my body. I found this process very effective helping me to relax. No this was not only true when I went through the accident of relaxing and tensing my muscles, but also in the moments in between tenants in my muscle groups why no observed how the tension and relaxation felt in my body. I was in pain before I started with meditation. This went along way in reducing the pain. I will definitely use this meditation when I need to relax my body and increase my mental awareness Of which areas of my body tight and which are relaxed. I am grateful for the individuals who work for this app forwarding this track toTogether

Feeling alive

I feel clear headed and excited! Feelings that have been stifled as of late.

It Works!

I woke up with stiff shoulders. And the syncing of the breathing with the tensing and releasing of the body parts was key to eliminating the stiffness. I know I stretch a lot to reduce stiffness but it was the syncing with the breathing that seems to make the difference.
