Points of Contact

Slow Down, Feel

I appreciate this meditation so very much! Every day is such a horse race of ongoing activities! I love ❤️ this time of year and all the Holiday fun that comes along with it. However, every year before Christmas 🎄 arrives, I’m worn out and usually in bed sick. It’s such a disappointment to me! I think I may have the answer with this meditation now and will recognize the signals my body is sending in time to slow down and not over do it!! Thanks again! Happy Holidays!

Points of Contact

Focusing on these points of contact helped me direct my breath to areas of my body that needed to release tension. Preparing for the holidays requires lots of time on my feet, so sitting down felt REALLY REALLY GOOD! Namaste and Happy Thanksgiving, Lyndi and everyone.🙏🏻🦃🍽💕.

It Works!

I am reminded how beautifully simple it is to be in the present! Easy and effective.

Grounding

I hadn’t considered using points of contact to bring me back into the present but it makes a lot of sense.

Contact points

I was really able to focus my attention to all different parts of my body and how they felt. I felt very relaxed and at ease. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Making up my mind I build and build the kiosk of infinite resources no profit

Aftermath, Friday 11-24-17

I hope EVERYONE had a nice Thanksgiving. I say Aftermath because, I am still cleaning, I am full, I am still EVERYTHING from yesterday, which is okay. There was only two people and 6 fur babies but a lot of appetizers and food and one big homemade pumpkin pie. I need to take it all in, breathe, and even though I did load after load of dishes yesterday, the cleaning will smoothly today too. Wishing good vibes to you all!

Body sensation

This has helped me realize the movements that happen in my body day and night and if I pay close attention I can feel everything that touch’s and gives my body a feeling

Anchor

Focusing on my body and my sense of touch anchors my attention, that wanderer, here and now. My conscience expands itself in the infinity of the present moment, where and when I can finally say 'I am'.

Focus

Focusing on how my body felt at different contact points, I found myself quite relaxed at felt content and comfortable

Self aware

Becoming more aware of my body has helped me to not only focus in on how I feel but also helped me control my wandering mind which is my biggest challenge. I feel more in tune with myself now.

Checking in.

I learned that just checking in feels better than doing nothing at all.

Got a body

My body has arms and legs a head, feet, hands, fingers, and toes, just merely noticing them and sending them positive energy is going to help me all day

Taking baby steps

I learned that sometimes, throughout our busy lives it’s ok if we have to let ourselves relax and just be at peace :)

Reset the morning

I learned that taking a moment to center myself and bring my mind under some control can reset my morning.

Moving Forward

This morning I already felt calm and content but this session made me feel more so. My sensations were very subtle and I see that as a good thing because, sometimes I feel pain or tension. My mind can be over active or I might feel anxiety or some other unwanted feelings and thoughts. I feel that meditating multiple times a day is the cure to a healthier state of mind. I’m moving forward to a place l’ve never been. Thanks Aura 🙏

Moving towards the future.

I learned that I can move on from these negative thoughts into the present, and be more stable. I can calm myself and direct myself into positive thinking versus negative thinking. I cannot dwell on the negatives, I must move forward.

Take time

I need to take time to reconnect with myself to know what I want and need at the moment.

Breathe

I learned that I need to take a moment to breathe and focus on things I know when I’m overwhelmed

Rel-ief/ax

I learned that I everyday, for some time, should let go of everything and just breathe and feel comfort.

Self awareness

To stop and take time to listen to your body and what it is saying.

day 2

how many different ways i can feels things just by simply thinking about it while sitting in one place (as example).

Relax

I learned that I need to take time out of my day to relax and de-stress.

Amazing

I became aware of how incredibly Amazing our brains must be... to be able to constantly monitor every inch of skin and inform our brain of temperature, texture, hardness, dryness, etc. and to be able to differentiate from one point of contact with our surroundings to another, from one microsecond to another, 24/7/365, over our entire body!!!! (And we have not even addressed our internal organs yet) That’s an incredible amount of information our subconscious is receiving and responding to automatically. Wow! And I think I have a lot to think about at work... ha, I am almost ashamed. But I’m not, because I am Thankful my creator saw me fit to give me a subconscious to handle all that info. I believe I show my gratitude for this gift by properly using the conscious portion of my brain to Think Great Thoughts and make the best choices I can for the Betterment of Mankind.

Connections

Nice to focus on where we connect. Sometimes it is forgetting the earth.

Points of Contact

Sometimes you just need to let go, relax, feel, and know your surroundings.

Breathe

My worries are minor, I have to remember that i am here. I should not worry about the small things.

Mindfulness

My feet feel numb when I sit with my legs cross-legged in my office chair.

great session!

great session this morning!! i really enjoyed this bc i really focused on it and i feel like i’m ready to start my day

Simple yet so effective

Wow! In such a short amount of time the points of contact gave me a great guide to “noticing” and “exploring” without judgement.

brain power

i learned that if my mind begins to wonder from things, i can simply invite it back and get back to my tasks, reconnecting is simple.

Relationships

Relationships can be difficult at times. Trust is important, faith in one another, and never giving up on each other is a foundation to be built.

I have been looking for a brief meditation

that I could use during the day . This could be the one. The time always goes by too fast!

Emptying the mind

I learned that focusing in, I mean really focusing in, on the point of contact; the pressure creating warmth between the places and it traveling throughout your body help clear the mind in an amazing way.

Points of contact

In touch with ones self...... Touch within ones self .... Lovely and helpful

Points of contact

Focusing on different points of contact, like where I’m laying or where my hands or feet are connecting, can be helpful. Focusing on the feelings and sensations.

Points of Contact

It's good to have Lindy back ... she's my favorite of all the meditation guides.

Reconnecting with your body

When you take the time to slow down and feel the sensations around you it helps to focus your mind and push the tension to the back of your mind.

Day one:

You should always take others feelings into perspective and not focus on the drama of life and just appreciate what it is. Don’t get side tracked on the obstacles of life but the meaning of life and what great light is shining behind you and pulling u through.

Percolate

I need to work on my posture to improve my circulation as my body def gets numb in many positions

Contact of my body from feet and bottom and hands

Consciousness of my body contacts is a first to acknowledge that in breathing meditation and mindfulness. Very simple exercise to reconnect thank you Aura.

one

i feel much better and much calmer than i was before. i felt distant and numb as the session continued, creating an all around neutral feeling

Points of contact

My feet tend to tingle. Not sure if that is just aging or not being able to sit crossed-legged anymore. I liked paying attention to the points of contact. It was a great way to check in with my body.

Connect.

Present moments. Present feelings. Or lack thereof. Just be present

Contact

Found it challenging to stay focused on the points of contact and the sensations in my body at these points today. My mind kept wandering off

Sadness

I'm learning when I'm sad it's mostly because I've brought myself back to a painful memory. Other times I find sadness comes from thinking too far ahead and fearing the unknown. Today I realized if you want to come out of that sadness you have to live in the present moment. It's okay to reflect on the pain that gave you understanding, but do not rest there. Return to the present, that's the only way I'll thrive.

Quiet Life

No matter where I am, I am able to take 3-10 minutes out of my day to just stop LISTEN and follow along.

Body

I have arms, hands, legs, all these body parts that make up me. I can do stuff and feel things with my arms, etc. I am a being with a body.

Help, anyone ?

Im new to this , and i couldn’t find the connection between feeling points of contact and feeling better ... can anyone please explain?

Feeling

It’s good to stop and take a moment to assess what we are feeling. Feel the sun on my face. Feel how soft my pants are. Forget the past and the future.

Sensation

Focusing on where my body rests against the floor, where my hands rest, the warmth and coolness of my environment... it all is so helpful to harness my attention. My thoughts drift so easily, sometimes for moments at a time before I realize it. But the solid sensations of my immediate environment help to anchor me in the present.

Points of contact

By focusing on different points of contact between my body the bed etc. I can become aware of more nuanced sensations that I might otherwise overlook. It helps to have a guided meditation to leave me.

Jjjj

Feel diferent piontshhhhhhhhhf jjjkkkkk no soy poeta lol xd

Stress or peace

Thinking about one point in your body and how it feels takes your mind off of other things in the world that is stressing you out.

Relax

I can focus on just being physically alive, just simply listening to my breathing.

3/14

Your body and your contact with yourself as well as others says a lot about how you feel and what you might be thinking

Points of contact

When you are stressed it’s important to turn your focus on other things and not be obsessed

Sitting

Sitting on a soft bed with my back against the wall, felt very comforting. An I deal position. Reminds me of good times at gym class with friends laughing and enjoying life. I feel tingling in my toes and throbbing in my wrists. My left foot is always being smashed by my right leg. It hurts. I adjust so that my left foot extends out and right foot to my inner thigh. This position is ideal.

Day 1

I learned that my body feels different sensations at different times of meditation.

Day 7

Reconnect with your surroundings. Feel everything, notice the small things and enjoy being alive.

Had a little talk.

Had a little talk with my spirit animals. They give me strength.

Points of Contact

I noticed that I wasn’t able to let myself relax this time. I believe it’s because I have too many racing thoughts. I have more success when I invite “God” to intervene.

Contact with my self

I contact my self by writing my journal I write my journal anytime I time I want & I contact myself by meditating any time

Respirar inconscientemente

Luego de estar experimentando momentos bastante caóticos, no negaré que la tranquilidad que algo tan sinole como respirar puede tener como efecto. Esto es un tema que se va de manera inconsciente. Lo hacemos y no nos damos cuenta, o más bien, no disfrutamos cuando lo hacemos. Creo que después del caos, viene la calma. Yo por lo pronto, respiraré tranquilo en lo que eso sucede.

Bringing me back

I often feel anxious about my loved ones, and worry about what could happen to them, which keeps me from sleeping. This helped bring me back and helped me relax.

Contact

Lyndi, yes! Reverence for sensation contacts! One feels human, alive, electrical! Thanks.

Come back

Your body is urging your mind to come back; focus on what’s going on in the now, in your surroundings. Feel every bit of yourself and understand that without one piece of your body, the rest won’t work at its fullest potential. The same goes with your mind; you can let it wonder to different possibilities, but ask it to come back, in a gentle manner. You are needed here; ground yourself.

Points of contact

I liked how she went through pressures, sensations, temperature and different aspects we can notice when we tune into our bodies. I felt relaxed afterwards.

Trying to Distract Pain

I woke up 5:30AM to stomach pain. I feel anxious, insecure because I don’t know when it will stop. I don’t want to wake my husband. I am having a hard time. I use the restroom limping to the door. I return to the bed and my husband is up. He sees I’m in distress and reminds me to eat some of my edible rice krispy treat to help with pain. I hate eating anything on an upset lingering stomachache. I eat a few crumbs while he holds my hand and I get my headphones to listen to a meditation on my iPad to distract the pain. I’m starting to release some tension in my legs and throughout my body but the pain is still gnawing. I drink some tea with CBD Water Soluble 900mg squirt while still listening mostly for the soft music instead of the narrator but her voice is calm and I like that. The meditation is over and my pain has decreased but I’m sitting here now with thoughts as my anxiety takes over where my pain left off. It’s now 6:30 and I don’t take my Neurotin until 9. I’m worried the pain will come back before then. Trying to keep myself distracted from pain is a full time job and it makes me realize I am now unable to groom which is therapy for me but is physically and mentally exhausting and needs to be done in your best state mentally and physically for the care of the animal. I feel angry with my body and mind for not letting me live peacefully.

I’m distracted by pain meditation helps me

I’m distracted by pain meditation always helps me relax and stay calm and quiet while I sleep and relax and pray I stay asleep through out the whole thing because I love the meditations and the things that stress me out through out the days and nights are just being in my room all the time and just waking up early and I’m very upset with all the things that they are doing that I learned that meditation helps me relax and chill out and sometimes I feel like I’m tired and stressed through my days and my prayers help god’s help is always helping me relax and stay calm I love that I meditate all the it kills the pain

Meditation

I feel ready to begin the day. I feel good. Just a short but effective session. ❤️
