Renew & Fortify

Put it away for a moment....

I may have taken something different away from this than some people but I was able to put some negative things that went on during the day mentally in a drawer next to my bed and take a few moments to just be here in the moment and I felt my body relax and it was spectacular. At first I didn't think I would open the drawer back up but I did and it felt different, like I was more able to handle the negative.

I felt a little distracted

Maybe I'll be better with longer meditations where I can sink in? Loved the visualization tho

Holding on

I learnt that I don't take enough time for myself. I'm holding onto so much and just need to take a step back and get away from it all for a second.

I Learned that...

You can always just let things go and that sad thing will slowly fade away because it's not important enough to keep it in your mind

Let things go like anger and forgive since thy do not know how to

Be strong for your own happiness and not depend on someone else to be happy

Day one

I wasn't letting myself feel what I needed to. I immediately started crying and cried through the meditation.

Thank you this is works!

Only a deep breathe can reduce your anxiety so don't be serious about any problems in your life. It's just a tiny part of life and sure it will be gone soon or later. Learn from it!

Fear, sadness, release

I can feel my sadness without being swept away by it. Usually I am too scared to be in touch with it so I become tense and tight. Afterwards I felt a little release.

Emotional

I started to cry while doing this. Feeling myself as a real person and being able to separate from emotions was great

First time I've meditated

And I Immediately started crying, I didn't even realize I was sad until I got away from distractions to do this. This really helped me

Day one

i'm distracted. relationships, grief, anxiety, sadness. i hope tomorrow will be better.

Breathe

I learned to breathe and just take a step a back from everything. That everything may not be perfect, but at least for right now, I'm fine.

Wonderful!

I struggle with derealization so this helped me get back into my body and stop obsessing over current situations- I started crying as soon as this started because I felt like I could finally acknowledge my emotions without being overwhelmed by them.

Day 1 - Distracted..

I found it difficult to concentrate with life going on around me - going to practise another..

Day 1- Depressed and Distracted

Lots of negative thoughts dampen even the happiest of people. I need to be able to let go easier in order to feel lighter. I'm not in control all the time and that's ok. I'm not going to be able to be with people all the time and I am not the center of the world. I'm just cass. I will get better at this.

Still anxious

I feel better, but not that much. I still have lots os feelings and emotions that got in the way, specially anxiety. Hopefully it will improve with time.

Renew and Fortify

I found it hard to concentrate and take my mind off all the thoughts in my head but I learned the importance of giving yourself just a few minutes to rewind

First day

Numb.. No quick fix when you been stuck in an unhealthy thought habit. Practice makes perfect right.

Overwhelmed by sadness

Its hard to let go of the ones u truly love, i cant find myself anymore, everything is falling apart.

Letting go and bringing yourself back

We give a part of ourselves to everyone around us and sometimes we forget to bring those bits back. Bringing back the "tendrils" can help us refortify ourselves and find what part of us is missing.

Overwhelmed by anxiety

I learned that I have to live again my stress is eating me up.

Be gone stress

I learned that no matter what is stressing me out, meditation is a nice getaway and to feel calm and ready to take on what is eating at me

Moving on

I learned that you have to let go from the heartbreak and stress and focus on yourself

Helps surrender those reoccurring anxious thoughts.

Surrender and the world comes back gracefully. ❤️you can change ur mind if you love urself and seek more.

Day one

I feel a bit calm but the sadness still there. The regret about my life, I feel like I'm a useless human being and can't do anything about it, my life like a dead end road. I don't know why I feel so sad and unhappy. It's not that I'm not grateful for good things, it's just this isn't life I want to live. My mind my heart my soul doesn't belong here. This is not what I want. Sometimes I feel like I don't know who I am anymore. I'm losing myself, I feel numb and everything feels so empty. But I still hope this meditation can help me.

It's hard

It's extremely difficult to let go of the pain that I am experiencing but I know this takes practice.

Tendrils

I really loved the concept of pulling all of you energy back. The image of the tendrils returning back was very powerful for me. Oftentimes I find that my energy is scattered and pulled out into the universe while taxing my soul. Will continue using this image to help fortify myself. Thank you

Past

Thinking about mistakes from your past can bring you down. But there is nothing you can do to change them. Focusing on the now makes everything a little lighter.

Perspective

I loved the idea of taking the stress and putting it on a shelf and having the warm comforting blanket wrap around me

Thankyou

I feel much better, i think this was a great way to relax and realise that happines is always here with us.

Im not very good at this yet

Taking a few mins a day soon will help... idk... writing a long reflection is stressful in itself

Awesome

I'm 12 and I have a hard life like most teens say but I really do I never meet my dad and my mom got really sick a couple of years I go but now I feel better thx aura😘❤️

3 mins can change a lot

It's so helpful to have shorter more frequent check-ins throughout the day. It brings more quality to whatever you're about to do next, enhances your meditation practice as well as the experience of your life!

Permission to stop

Stopping for such a short time gave me freedom to really be in those three minutes with no worries.

I don’t know

It was my first session and I couldn’t focus, my mind was all over the place. I’ll continue to practice everyday tho

Me just being annoying or whatevrr

So I'm just gonna pour my heart out here so it was my first session with aura I'm sort of hippie so I get into stuff like this I'm 14 and have a rare heart condition and also scoliosis so bad they have postponed my spinal cushion surgery 4 times now and back in January I had another surgery because I had cyst in my spinal cord and I mean you can see in my moms eyes she always worried about me so I try to be happy to keep her happy and not fall apart I mean I'm not depressed I don't think but I am a positive person and lately I haven't been so I hope this works and gets me back at the mental stat I was at a few weeks ago💘

I still feel broken

I just have to let go of everything and set myself free. I'm holding onto to a lot of things I don't need. I just want some peace.

I lost myself (rant)

This year I lost my first love. Dated for over a year but were best friends 3 years before dating. I loved him since we first became friends. He cheated on me and I lost who I was. I spoke to my mom about the depression that I have had since middle school (I was bullied bad and was very suicidal) but I didn't tell anyone bc I was scared. But I got medication to help and stated to feel like my self again. One month later I lost my mamaw. I feel back into the person I didn't know. Three months later I lost my other mamaw, nanny. Mom wouldn't take me back to the doctors to get more antidepressants and I started to do bad stuff again. Like sleeping around, smoking, and drinking. Anything really to feel good for a bit. I then died my hair. I couldn't recognize myself and it made me feel depressed so I dyed my hair. Well I started writing again to help myself clear my head and I feel better but I still don't recognize myself and I don't know if it's the newly bleached hair or what, but yea

It's ok to be sad

I learned that it's ok to be sad and cry, it's nothing to be ashamed of, actually you will feel better once you get it out. When letting go of something or someone it's better to face your emotions head on rather than push them away

Sometimes you have to stop and give yourself permission to let go.

By letting go it doesn't mean that you're giving up that part of your life or person... it just means that you're loosening your grip and giving yourself the chance to move on and keep going.

3 minutes

I have been going through so much. My depression has only been getting worse. I feel stuck in this pit that I can't get out of. Old memories good and bad haunt me. I got sexually assaulted by my ex boyfriend a little over a month ago and now police are involved. I blame myself for telling too many people and also staying with him after that. I'm no longer in contact with this person but they're screaming in my thoughts. All the time. I can't stop thinking. I loved them and I thought they loved me back. How are we here now? I've lost friends who were close to me. High School is draining and sometimes I lose the desire to try. I woke up this morning and something really changed. During those 3 minutes I truly escaped all of this without drugs or alcohol. It gave me hope. I feel renewed.

Letting go

Some of the big things in life should be the small ones. The problems that surround you daily only affect you if you let them.

Understanding

Problems come and go same as people do. I must understand that something's in life are not permanent but with luck something can be. I'm thankful for what I have and what I dream to have.

Mi Seguridad es...

Tengo la seguridad de que dios está conmigo en cada paso del camino, que no hay experiencia positiva o negativa solo aprendizaje.

Healing

First I have to face, what I blocked out for so long. I'm understanding its ok to cry, and feel. I will beat this, and my siblings will also

I learned

Don't be distracted and hold your phone away from you whe it's playing

Seperate

I need to separate my problems and things that make me sad from my character and who I am

Helping my dying friend ...

has pushed my body to the edge. I'm feeling sick from it. It's broken me deep inside. Must heal myself. Must find joy.

What a difference 7 minutes can make

If u take just a few minutes to put your worries away and take care of yourself it can start your day fresh and manageable. I woke up immediately overwhelmed and now feel more relaxed and focused and ready to tackle the day one task at a time.

Weight

Even though I meditated for 3 minutes I still feel neutral, but I do feel more at ease like I may be able to actually sleep tonight. Looking forward to how well that plays out.

Taking a break for yourself

It's easy for me to get caught up in my to do lists. And have that thought "as soon as I finish all these tasks, then I can take a break." This was a good reminder that all those tasks and to-do's can wait. This was a refreshing 3 minute break and really helped me feel a little more chill. Thank you Aura. :)

I am not alone.

I need to learn how to live my life because it has changed for ever. My son was killed in a car accident 9 months ago (11-23-16) my sisters birthday and the day before thanksgiving. I am devastated.

Blah

I learned that mediation or trying mediation for the first time is just another thing to make me feel stupid and worthless as I didn't understand it and there was no guidance or instruction prior to do it it has frustrated me and made my mood worse

Being Okay

This last week has been mortifying. But I realized it's okay not to feel great. It's okay to be in a confused state. What's not okay is to be hard on yourself. As long as you strive to be better being Okay for a while will have to do

Making More

I learned time is a construct. I can make up more of it! If I keep telling myself I don't have enough time, I never will.

Feelings

I learned that the way I feel emotionally and physically do not define me

Objectification

I learned that objectifying my feelings can be constructive.

My heart

I have a big heart that pours itself into the lives of others. Mostly with people I am not that particularly close with. At work I try to be kind but am often frustrated. It hurts that people are not kind to me so I disconnect. It felts good to take back what I have given out though. I need love and kindness from myself. It is ok that others in my life do not give me the type of love I desire. My family gives me the love that I need though and that is what is most important in life

Feeling

This app is very helpful. Helps to relax my thoughts after beinrg depressed

She's still there

I learned that the warrior inside of me is still alive, well, and there inside of my spirit. That gives me hope.

Let go

I don't have to worry about every detail of my life. I was meant to enjoy and love life. Not worry about the unknown

Sad

I am worried about love. The indifference and lack of interest in me, from my husband, puts me in an anxious and sad mood. Everything else is just great! I feel I've improved a lot in every other aspect of my life

Emotions

I have realised in myself that I am not in control of my emotions when I am put in a conversation that I am not truly comfortable in. My emotions come out as anger and my defences go up. I need to learn how to control these and take a step back from the moment and realise that I am not being attacked.

Stressors

I Learned That Stressing Over The Same Thing Only Makes Your Life Worse. Taking Actions On What The Source Of The Problem Is Helps You Out And Makes You Feel Way Better. Being Mad And Sad Only Hurts You And Makes Others Around You Feel Sad. It's Up To You To Get Your Life Together And Relieve The Stress Off Of Yourself.

Let go

To let things go anger, sadness, stress that's what makes you sick

New beginnings

Accept your mistakes and failures, and learn from them. That is how you grow stronger.

I learned that...

Sometimes I have a hard time grasping what I need to do as I meditate.

Being Me

As I journey in this life I give a lot of myself and need, not want, to remember to bring my selves back home so I can be whole and complete in the moment I'm in. It's ok to place important things and feelings aside for a moment and be free of them and that doesn't make them less than or insignificant just that they are there waiting and being cared for by the Greatness of Holy one.

Love

Sometimes love is hard, you don't want to be alone yet you always seems to be stuck. It feels good to let that go and accept loneliness even for just a moment..

Assembly

sometimes I feel like I'm not a full person anymore. I think, it is because I give a lot but cannot easily accept or receive good vibes from others. Probably because I believe, that I'm not worth it. My brain knows that thats not right, but my insecurities win when I'm not attentive. So I learned today to focus on myself and get pieces of me back to my center to have the full power to fight my insecurities.

Parts

I feel as though I have to remember that I am a person experiencing grief. I am not wholly the grief, even as it overwhelms me.

Hope

Mindfulness is very hard. My nadir is horrible. The lowest of low. Opposite of a high. At the rock bottom. Because of my medicines. Someone please help me Greg

New Ideas Blossomed

By using narration a new story is born. In order to guide a story through its past, present and future you must speak of those events, intertwined.

Check in.

I need to step out of my problems and look at them from an outside perspective. I need to detach myself for a moment to check in with my mind and body to make sure I am okay.

Opening Up

I learned that I don't feel comfortable expressing my emotions to the people who are closest to me. I need to learn to open up. Sometimes you need to be vulnerable.

Worry

I learned that I worry that I have no true friends and that my friends prefer other people to me

Full

I am full of anxiety and sadness, yet I could still feel my inner light, it's more of a dim glow though, but I can and will nurture myself until I feel the true essence of my light shine thru

It's not easy

Today was my first day of meditation. I learned it's not easy breathing,lol. I need to find a center.

What we carry with us

I keep noticing that I'm carrying around a lot of "junk" or "baggage" in my mind. Setting down the baggage feels good. I'm reminding myself that I don't have to carry all these extra things around with me all the time. Checking in on my breathing, renewing my energy... so life-giving.

Renew and Fortify

I have to let go and stop thinking about all the bad stuff and focus on the good.

Lasting peace

My worries and sadness are quick to return but I am capable and worthy of lasting peace.

Let go

I need to learn to let go of my hang ups. They don't make me.

Feeling sad

I have thoughts running deep that don't serve me. I had a lot of trouble focusing. I brought my thoughts back though.

It really doesn't matter

Friends that care for you are good friends get on with your life

Belonging

I am one with the mysterious power that creates all things. I am a beloved and remembered child of the Great Mother and Father of miracles. Amen.

Hospice Situation with both my parents

I can release them to be at peace with God. Time to let go and release the shackles placed on us yet God has blessed each of us by being by my side everyday to deal with the stressful letting go and trusting Jesus to never leave our side. I put all of the stress I'm caring down amd place my family in his arms. Look into their eyes and listen to our hearts. I am searching for the feelings I am feeling. Tonight at religious gathering I felt and released my Barriers him? You have broken our chains, we are his children and He wants to see us all happy...well our parents are waiting for you kingdom . I believe my dad needs some Saving and feels unworthy. However my mother has regressed into childhood wanting her mom asks dad. I had a vision of mom smiling and walking with Jessus feeling unworthy. For dad soon don would be am awesome meeting for hon. Along with Aunt Melba amd Selma. Pray for dad to fond the love and peace he will need.

Being Sad

I spend way too much time being sad and worrying. I need to learn to relax and be at peace with myself.

My own

I learned that the only thing standing in my way is my own lack of self esteem. The idea of not being good enough is created by my own behavior.

Need to learn to let go of old emotions

I learned to let go of emotions the mean nothing to me. There is no need to cling to negativity!

I'm really thinking of giving up

I don't know what it is but none of these sessions I've participated in are really helping me. The words I heard in this session sound very nice, but I didn't experience one moment of tranquility or peace. I followed exactly what was said throughout this exercise as I have with every other. I'm thinking of giving up these exercises because they're not working for me. I go through the motions of doing them, but I find no solace in this anymore. Maybe the aura app just doesn't work for me. I'm sure it works for others but why even bother if I'm not even feeling slightly relieved from anxiety, stress, and depression?

Anxiety

Anxiety is taking over my life, I can't think, I can't sleep, I can't concentrate, I need to have control of my own emotions but I don't know how, I Belive I'm letting someone else control those emotions.

Ok to let go for a mon

Teleporting between passes ( Guardsman and Gullina ) where I meant to set my dailies. I scanned out to the horizons. Finding and building a bridge to span my losses. I lose myself so completely I nearly forgot to breathe.

My 1st meditation

I started with a simple,short 3 minutes meditation that didn't really work because I was very distracted, although I'll do it regularly in order to train my mind to set down.

4:17am

it's okay to let go of everything that might be causing you stress and that you don't have to worry

Patience is key.

My thought sidetracked me from getting a great meditation I'll get the hang of this.

Big and small

What once felt really big feels a little smaller now. Not much, but by a little bit. Feels a bit more manageable.

Anxiety and depression

I need to be able to relax, I struggle to relax. I am a restless person and always on the move. My anxiety and depression seem to come alive when I am relaxed and on my own.

I need to let go.

I learned that holding on to the pain of my recent separation is only dragging me lower. I need to let go of that pain and look towards a brighter tomorrow.

Renew & Fortify

I learned that releasing the pain I felt inside me that I had for three weeks can be easily gone by meditating and breathing and being calm

Hm

I learned that the subway is maybe not the best place to do this.

Objects

Felt good to place my feelings and emotions that are stressing me out as objects somewhere else, where they will be safe while I let go and meditate. I was able to feel a little bit of me, and it's been a really long time. A long stressful, emotionally controlling relationship and rough separation. First session was good. Unfortunately, the objects are back weighing on me. Hopefully it gets better :/

It's all gonna be A-okay

With all the craziness happening in our world right now, this short but highly needed meditation helped a lot!

Day One

I need to recharge and concentrate on me again, taking time out even for a few minutes a day for myself is important

I don't know yet

Truth be told, I've been trying so hard to improve myself over the past 3-4 years, I feel worn out and my progress feels slower than before. Hopefully this works.

Letting go

Letting go of the things I am attached to was difficult and I even thought, setting it aside as a safe object, they were a blanket. A blanket that I didn't want to let go of but I folded up mentally to put in a space that only exists in my mind.

don't know

don't know how to feel thoughts inside me are just to hard to deal with if I did not have them I would not feel bad

22 Sept 2017

I have such a long way to go from feeling so lost. And today was a "good" day

First thought

Taking back the little bits of yourself you have given to other during the day.

Renew

I can put the important things on my mind in a special spot and take a few moments for me. I know that I will come back for them will renewed energy.

My feelings

I learned that wether if I’m sad I have to find my happy place instead of thinking money and others will solve my issues. I can only make my self happy but I’m still depressed.

I learned that

Mindfulness is a big part of happiness and peace, to be happy and at ease you must have control of your mindfulness

I learned that

Taking yourself out of the moment of the present of stress for a few minutes will allow you to evaluate and relieve yourself while calming down & the putting yourself back in

Today

I learned that my mind is very hard to stop the constant clatter of negative thoughts.

Clouded thoughts

Today I learned that the mind can get so clouded it can bombard your thought process straight to negativity... gone with the a negative mind thank you 💛🙏🏻

Breathe

I learned that I need to stop and breathe when ever I feel stressed or start thinking about negative thoughts

First time

I couldn't concentrate at all it was hard to visualize what she was saying?

Hope

I learned that despite everything that is going on around me, I still have some form of control over how I'm feeling. This brings me Hope.

Let go

I have to let go of things I can’t control and realize it’s okay not to be perfect. I also need help from others...it’s not a sign of weakness if I ask for help

today

i learned that i have to let go of the people who hurt me. even if i don’t want to, even if i love them, i have to remember that i am happier without them in my life.

Let go

I learned that letting go isn't always a bad thing. You should take care of yourself more than anyone else.

I learned/still learning

I learned that my mind often goes into monologue overdrive and it is often unkind thoughts towards myself. Sometimes it gives a free pass to people who actually say these things to me and I don't call them out on it because it sounds *exactly* how I talk to myself. I'm learning to shut down these negative voices (internal and external) one at a time 💪🏼

Give me strength

Today i learned that reviving ones mind with with slow deep long breathing and a calm soothing environment you can find strength in your weakest moments 💛🙏🏻💪🏽renewed and fortified

Day 1

U need to take a minute to make sure that u r ok sometimes

I learned

Sometimes you have to fully appreciate yourself by taking moments like these and looking upon your life and where it’s at

Getting back to me

I need to concentrate on getting back to being myself. These distractions are taking up to much of me and my life, I have a long way to find myself again.

Not to stress

I learned I need to get back to myself, not to stress about every little thing. Learn that I am here for a reason and I will soon figure it out

Session 2

I learned that, everyone needs a few minutes away from it all to connect with themselves

Renewed

To be renewed, that is the question? How? If? When? All these things to ponder. Meditation and mindfulness helps. When will it all click together for me I can not say. I will just continue till it does.

Sad morning

I realize that I’m going to need much more than a few minutes of stillness and mindfulness and self-compassion today (and, probably, every day). But where can I make the extra time for myself in a life of obligations?

Renew and fortify

I learned that I can park whatever thoughts I’m having and set them aside to focus back in. Feel lighter. I may not even go back and get those thoughts because they aren’t serving me. 🙏🏼

Mindful moments

It doesn't take more than three minutes to get relaxed and calm.

Keeping Meditation With Me

I learned that I need to visualize a more positive and renewed self stepping back into my life after meditation to carry that feeling with me throughout the day

Good Night 11-2-17

It was a very busy day ending with a medical emergency with a family member, who is okay now; but I learned that the power of prayer, believing, and Aura and a little tears will get you through. I also had some friendly support on the home front from the fur babies and what not, but my anger did not prevail!

Sad I need to stay positive. I want to have my boys at the for front.

I need time to let go and reflect. Remember I have done nothing wrong

I need to forgive myself for getting sick.

My lupus does not define me but I need to forgive myself when I am sick. It is not my fault.

Alone

In a life that feels like it has been overcome by sadness and challenges every day, it is often difficult just to get up in the morning, out of bed, and make it through the day. It is a warm feeling, however, to know that I may not be alone in my feelings.

Stress

I often carry the weight of the world on my shoulders, letting school issues, friend issues, work, etc. cloud my mind. I stretch myself too thin. I need to let go of some of that weight.

learned

i learned that i need to take a moment to take a breath and comfort myself knowing that everything is okay

Trust Your Heart

I learnt that people often don't really stop for a while and make a recollection of what they've been through, nor a vision of their future; Halt everything for a moment, take a breather and put your thoughts in a mindmap. Let the little blobs pop whenever a thought come up. Now you have a map of your mind, the process of your thoughts, and you can zoom out to look at the bigger picture of where you are. Ignoring your thoughts simply won't make it. The next step is to find solutions to settle these things, while eliminating what you can't control and putting them aside. Have faith that the world will resolve itself in someway and that you can always make it through; have patience, with everything around you, and with yourself. Life has its way to make a path for the things that are meant to be; All you have to do is control your reaction to it, and use wisely the time that has been given to you. Hold on to the belief that everything will be alright. Do good; Be well; Trust your heart.

Stressed

I learned that I need to pause even for a moment to embrace my existence here and that although it is tough and things seem to get bad there is still good, still time to appreciate what we have and embrace what we can give to the world

Restoration

I need to pull myself back from others at times to restore my strength. It is healthy.

Balloon Thoughts

The things I’m tied to feel like balloons pulling me in lots of different directions I need to find a place to set them so I can visit these thoughts/feelings without them carrying me away.

First shot

Meditating has calmed me down and I feel much more relaxed and calm

Meditation 1 (with this app)

I learned that I Can take a Moment to myself for myself and I will feel Better than before I started the meditation 💓💓💓

Mindfulness

That I can let go of the weight of stress and pause . This has helped me clear my mind and relieve my mind.

A life full of worry

This app will help me ive only begun and Rome was not built in a day.

Put my thoughts aside

Put my thoughts aside for later So that I can continue to go about my day and my thought are taken care of

Beginner:

This is something I definitely want to include in my busy life. I have been so stressed and forget what day it as at times. As everyone else does, I’m sure. I’m in desperate need of distractions to keep my mind off of things sitting heavy in my heart. This session helped me relax.

Letting go

I can let go of thoughts and emotions, even if it’s just for a few minutes because I know I can come back to them

Breathing deeply

Sinking into the place where my body met the ground and breathing deeply

Letting go

I must learn to let go and not reminisce on the past to be able to move on and find happiness again.

Im stressed

Feeling guilty about things that I haven’t done that I have full control over doing

Mindfulness

I learned that it is important to stop for a moment, breathe in and breathe out, to be aware of your presence.

I learnt that...

We should step back sometimes and stop giving the world around us so much of ourselves before letting ourselves use our own energy to our benefit first.

Renew

I can place ideas and thoughts on a shelf or place them in a safe place. Then, I can revisit them at another time.

For me

I learned that I need to take time to rest my mind for awhile. To back away from all the stressers of daily life and more importantly, personal issues.

Being sad

I learned that feeling sad isn’t always because I feel sad it’s because I let my body/ mind move to sad places

Breathing

I learned that taking a step back, and just letting go of things is okay.

Renew & fortify

Every part of my life can be taken out and set aside for just a moment of peace.

Meditation #1

I learned that just taking a few moments out of your day to recognize your presence goes a far way. Taking this time allows yourself to take a step back from the world and only focus on you. I also learned that sometimes you need to move on and let go of things as they happen in seasons.

day 1

it's okay to need someone and someone to talk to and tell you it's okay

Controlled emotions

You can control your emotions gen if you're feeling sad, you have to let your mind float through

Let go of guilt

It's ok to take time out for myself and to not feel guilty about it!

Here

Making yourself feel alive and relaxed allows for so much positive energy to enter your body.

Tough day I think I lost someone

The burden of depression can be as crippling for those around you or even more so than for yourself. Maybe they’ll find their way back to me in time.

Stress

I learned stress is something that can be controlled and not to hold on to it. Just to let it go.

Day 1

I learned that I need to put what I'm holding onto down. Visualized it as an object. A steel ball. Shiny. Strong but delicate. Placed it on my desk and visualized a better me. Breathing in was drawing in there old me. The good me. Breathing out was releasing my pain.

Breathe

I learned that breathing can help. It helps to make problems small again instead of inflating them.

11/26

Take the negative energy I’m holding onto and make it an object, place it somewhere safe.

1st Meditation

As the guide talked about drawing in my essence and wrapping it around myself like a blanket, I became much more aware of the presence of my soul and started to smile in spite of myself.

I’m okay

It’s alright to take a minute to find some type of peace that comes from myself.

I learned

I need to calm down and stop being so dramatic with Gino. I need to focus on the now and just realize my presence here. I'm so scattered and so into anxiety

...

I learned that I did not like this. It did not help me at all and I was very disappointed.

First Meditation Session

I learned that this may be “necessary” to help me sort of come back to being my actual self after a few years.

Let go a little...

Stop clinging onto things, concepts, and ideas. Release and allow it to come back, and allow yourself to become renewed and fortified.

It’s just 3 mins.

I have time to just take 3minutes to relax and breath.

Breathing

I learned that sometimes things should be put aside for me to be able to breathe and have personal peace and sometimes I just have to breathe

First entry

I learned that it is okay to stop, and take a second to my self. It’s okay to stop and recollect my thoughts

Embrace yourself

I️ learned the importance of taking a few minutes to take a step back, and putting myself first before all else to relax my body and mind.

My worth!

I️ leaned the my worth as a great value then I️ every imagined.

thank you

i learned that meditation doesn’t have to be great all the time and that you can be distracted when meditating too thanks

I cried

Maybe i just needed to take a quick break from everything but i was just crying the entire time. I do feel a bit more relieved though.

First Session

While I’ve long resisted it, guided meditation is an excellent supplement to independent practice, offering new perspectives and techniques.

It will take time to let go

It’s okay to feel sad, upset, and heart broken. Being vulnerable is the first step to healing and accepting the process

December 4

I learned that breathing can help you feel like your stress is being lifted off you a little bit with each deep breathe. It makes me feel calm.

December 4

I learned that I’m holding on to things that I thought I let go a long time ago

Sadness

I really don’t know what I learned. I’m just sad. I wish I could explain it. I’m disappointed in myself and I know my family and friends will be too.

Put it away

I learned that I can put my individual worries away in a box at the edge of Flattop Mountain while I appreciate all the people whose lives my endeavors make better.

December 5th, 2017

Reclaim what you once lost that is righteously your’s. Your kingdom must come back under your authority and the joker will no longer reign.

First day

I have a long way to go but this visualization exercise felt refreshing. I think I will get better at it over time. I hope so at least.

Do

No matter how much one wants to resist, just try first. I felt awkward and stiff but I worked on myself a little by following the simple instructions and doing what felt natural. I feel like my problems aren’t as big as they seemed.

Presence

Think about myself in present. Who I am now. Important. Remembered.

Mindfullness

I learned that I can still feel what I am feeling, As I still have feelings and stresses and emotions, but I still have a sense of peace and love and mindfulness left in me.

Control

I have to take back my life under control... be fortified by what happened to me, soon or later.

Day 1 session

I have to imagine stepping back into my life being renewed and fortified

Day 1 Meditating

It was way easier to channel out negative thoughts than I thought it was. The feeling of anxiety was swept away and I feel at peace with my mind

Realizing

I stepped out of my newly made obstacles & as the meditation ended, a new obstacle arises. A more subconscious one that is in need of handling.

Set it aside

I can set things aside in a safe imaginable place for a couple minutes and return to it after once I have had a couple of minutes.

Mindful

I learned that breathing helps. Stop and take time to notice the things around you.

Here

I learned that I am here, and that my essence is present and relevant.

Sunday Session Day

I learned that I need to have self worth and love myself before any one can truly love me. I also learned that I have been jumping into one relationship to the next.

Strong

I learn that sometimes I need just to step forward and relax so when the time comes I could do it better

I can not relax. I don’t know how

MAybe its a learned habit. But it is hard for me to turn off and relax. I never get rest.

First day

Had the spins during this and felt like I was spinning downward and falling asleep very hard and fast. Very impactful experience after a shit day.

Day 1🤞🏽

Before the meditation I️ was feeling rather sad and anxious. I’ve been having problems with depression and anxiety. I️ can never focus because of how much I️ worry, and I️ physically am not able to stop worrying. No matter how hard I️ try. The meditation however made me feel more relaxed, but I’m still sad. Only to an extent, though.

Renew

I learned that I need to draw my energy back into myself sometimes

First meditation

Meditation can be done in short bursts, whatever position I'm in and comfortable with. It's about taking time away from being you.

i’m very disappointed

i’ve lost connection with me. who i am has changed. i want to be happy but i let someone in that completely destroyed my vision

Priorities

If it isn’t going to matter in 5 years I shouldn’t spend more that five minutes worrying about it.

Idk

It was my first time doing this and all honestly I felt sleepy but relaxed. The part about the blanket was getting to me but yeah...

Helpless

Didn’t feel better.. it sounds so artificial, no emotions no sympathy, it’s commercial without humanity...

Day 1

Life won’t always stay the same, but that’s okay. Every one has bad days but we must focus on the good ones.

One day at a time

Live for the day and stop worrying about things I have no control

Idk

I need to step away from the things I’m overthinking and breathe.

A week after Dad....

I can honor him and remember him. But he is gone. His essence will live on through me, and over time my sorrow will turn into gratitude.

12/20

It’s hard to control your emotions and energy when you can’t control what is on your mind.

The brain game

I just need to stop over thinking and throw out illusional voices in my head. I need to listen more to what's within my heart.

Pain

I’ve inflicted so much pain to those I love. I never realized or cared to listen that my actions harmed those around me.

Day one

And I wrapped up, comfortable, in a blanket made of self. At the same time as I felt everything, I let it all go. Profundity.

renewable

it's best to release the sadness than to keep it bottled up inside new energy is the best way to the happiness i seek for

Pause and take a koment

Amazing what a few minutes of stillness can do for our mind and body

Breath = presence

Try focusing on the mechanics of your breath. This can ground you in the present.

Very helpful

I was really into it and saw that it was only 3 minutes long. Is there any longer mediations?

I can be calm and in the moment.

I was calm and reflected inward. Here were some distractions but hopefully I will be able to push those out with some practice.

Christmas

In life this day is like every other. Thought one day i will have joy on it again.

I can breathe my negative thoughts out

Deep breathing tension away although I feel bad and tense I can focus on te hope of tomorrow

Title

Breathing helps??? Like wow??? I recommend breathing when having a panic attack

I enjoy being quiet. My breathing calmed me. I must take time to do this.

I will lower my blood pressure. I will be aware of ME. I need fewer distractions.

26/12

It’s okay not to live up to your own expectations and I shouldn’t criticise myself for needing a break

First meditation

I typically find myself stressed and worried about everything that i can’t control so meditation is really the only way can escape from that. Being so busy with work and school means i can’t usually attend yoga classes to help calm myself, so using this app is very convenient. I’m excited to see how this can help change my routine and thought process along the way.

First session

I can set back and relax and enjoy peace and tranquility That television does not control my life

It's time

I learned that I'm holding on to things that are bringing me down and that it will be okay to let them go.

3:44am

seperate thoughts, people, outside from yourself. be in the present with your self. things i am holding onto w a tight grip should be loosened and put in a container, & set aside. such as outside, a desk, a different room. reclaim yourself

Day one

I learned that sometimes I need to take my emotions and put them in a safe place while I take time for myself. Take time and realize the here and now.

Mindful Moments #1

I learned that I should try to be sitting up straight to get the most out of the breathing exercises.

December 29, 2017 - first day

I have a multitude of worries in my mind and chest. I am extremely nervous and scared. But I am willing to be stronger.

First Mindfulness

Just a few moments

In just a few moments of stepping back and turning everything around me off I can learn to breathe and be present even if only for a few moments

Mindful Moments

Sadness

I learned that I need to let things do - sorrow, pain, emptiness. I have no control over it to change it

12/29/17

I have a lot on tendrils out there that distract me. I replay negative moments and makes me feel like a victim over and over.

First day

I learned to imagine myself putting all of my stress away into an object and to connect with the moment.

Day one

I learned that I can release my feelings of stress and anxiety towards my marriage. I can place them in a safe place and come back to them once I have helped myself. I can get through this.

Session on 31 dec

It’s ok to step out and think about your positives and then come back with a new perspective.

Another day

I need to focus on myself, renew myself, forget the past in which I know is so hard to do. Stop thinking of what could of happened and start thinking of what’s going to happen..

Anxiety

Let go

I learned that I need to let go. Letting it go and accept that it can never be returned. Letting go of my past of my failure. Learn to accept it.

Jan 1

I just want all the pressure and anxiety on me to float away. I don't want people to worry too much over me, because I worry too much myself.

Busy thoughts

I learned that I can pause all the thoughts going on in my head and I can stop all the worry from becoming a heavy load.

Breathe

I need to take a minute to leave the situation I'm feeling anxious about and breath. Think about my actions and do not allow anxiety to take over my thoughts, actions, or words.

First time

That meditating helps me, I felt very calm and peaceful. 😍🎊😄☀️

Day one

Learn to let go. I'm holding on to so much negativity right now that is not serving me. I need to find healthy and positive outlets for my life.

It is important to focus on now and not worry about the past or future

I need to focus my energy on myself instead of worrying about things I cannot control

Today I learned that

Three minutes is enough time meditating to calm renew and fortify

Moving on

I learned that I will not feel this sadness forever... and that time is my friend.

Present.

Arriving in my breath riding waves I am free to return to myself. Centered in the moment I find peace in knowing that there is no where to go and no thing to be. There is space surrounding me and I am open to the cosmos~

1/4/18 letting go

I learned that I can make myself not feel the pain by not focusing on the feeling of the grief and hurt I feel. Distraction helps and letting go is not easy because it always comes back.

I can’t let go

Nothing helps me let go. I see the hurtful stuff behind my eyes and can’t let go. I can’t sleep. I’m going mad without sleep

On a shelf

I can disassociate my EMOTION about people and events and place it on a shelf. I can take a step away. I can nurture my spirit, after separating the two.

First entry

Letting go and bringing all my focus and energy back into myself recharges me quickly.

Calm

The slower and deeper my breathing gets my anxiety and stress lowers till i am finally at peace.

I learned

That I need to come into my Center every day a good few times a day

Letting Go

I learned that I have to let go the stress and sadness I feel

Day 1 continued depressed thoughts

Deep breathing and slowly forgetting things by closing my eyes and picturing a renewed life helps a lot

Life goes on

I should go back to myself , because life is too short and you never know what’s gonna happen on the next day.

What I learned?

I should just let go of the things that worry me, people that are bad for me and hold on to stuff that makes me happy and people that makes me a better person.

Emotions

It is okay to feel negative emotions such as sadness and anxiety

First Attempt

I wait for interruptions during meditation, which blocks my path to serenity. I can especially feel this in my breathing.

First session

I'm not into to. Too distant. Can't feel anything ! Not feeling calmer or less stressed or happier.

1/7

I learned that if I just close my eyes and takes some deep breaths, my stress decreases.

You can change your mood with only one step. Breath in

You can do anything you want, have you mind set to the week coming up. Be strong

:)

Wow,the first things i feel so good. Thx to bring me back to good condition.

Love the visualization

I love the visualization of bringing back all I’ve sent out into the world and wrapping it around me like a blanket, taking care of and loving myself in that moment rather than expending all my energy elsewhere.

Storing

Grab air near your chest and move away and let go. This helps to put things aside and focus on what you’re trying to achieve whether it be an actual action or feeling peace

Learning

I learned that I need to allow others in when I’m needing extra support.

I learned that I need to allow others to support me when I’m needing them to

Jan 8

I learned that I need to learn to relax and loosen the grip on my anxieties

Day one

I learned that I’m spreading myself too thin with all these emotions that I have going on at once.

Your life

It’s okay to not have it all together all the time. It’s okay to not feel your best 24/7 it’s okay to be just you

Energy

I learned that everything will come back to comfort you, the thoughts, emotions and energy. The stress may bring to down, so take a moment for yourself everyday.

Journey

I liked traveling out and then back in connected to something. I’m no sure it was myself, but I liked it.

Day 1

I need to focus on the moment at hand. How I feel. How it feels to be me. All of the good I’ve sent out, pull it back in and wrap myself in it. Step back in my own shoes. Take my life back.

First day

It is ok to be me! I am a wonderful person. I deserve the best life has to give me. Be more positive

First try

I learned that I need to return to my own practice of meditation so I can help Gabe and hopefully Leo learn the power of meditation. I also learned that I do not find comfort in all imagery and need to try all the settings before finding one that will work best for me. And if that is how I feel I need to remember that the boys may feel the same.

Take back

I've been going through all of it, throbs and aches all inching towards a love I never expected

Day 1

I learned I can let go of certain things for 3 mins to reclaim my energy.

Reclaiming me

I need to reclaim the energy I spend on other people wondering why people that I care for don’t care for me and care for my own self. Take all my energy back and be free.

Letting go

I learned that not every emotion is controllable. Sometimes letting go of an emotion is better than trying to make sense of it.

First mind stress relief

Holding on to thoughts and words spoken from others will stop you from living for you and being who you are. What others say or think of you is not what's important, it's what you think and believe in yourself.

Day 1:

Today was ok.... several moments of sadness. Felt better after first 3 min session. Must figure out a good time to Meditate with out interruptions.

Reclaimed

I learned that I lose a lot of myself to the world. Reclaiming it made me feel whole and peaceful.

Renew & Fortify

I like the idea of visualizing setting things aside at the beginning of the practice.

i learned that

i don’t have to keep holding of to things that make me feel drained. i can let go and move on to better things that are in store for me.

14th Jan 18

First online mindfullness session. I’ve been feeling slightly down today and a little more agitated that normal. I found it very hard to just listen to the audio and just let go. I did feel slightly more relaxed once I opened my eyes though

I'm back

I have to focus on my health. I have to retain myself. I'm worth it.

Being aware, being able to put things away with respect and you can come back to it later

Being aware, being able to put things away with respect and you can come back to it later

Lost

I have a tremendous amount of anxiety and I have lost part of myself - my inner peace. I need to get it back, but I don’t know how.

First meditation

I have tendrils that go out into the world that are my essence and I need to bring them back in at the end of everyday to feel calm and connected to myself again.

First Meditation

I learned that I need to step back and distance myself from things that make me upset.

Stepping back

I learned that I have to step back and be the best person that I am capable of being. No matter what comes my way.

Not good enough

Sometimes you need to let things go for a moment in order to keep yourself healthy. Without that moment of letting go the weight continues to push down on you and control your life, every so often you have to realize that you are just not good enough. When you realize this you are then able to work on yourself from the inside out, a happy internal you is a happier outside you.

1/14/18

I learned that I need to take the opportunity to step into tomorrow’s day feeling renewed

My backpack

I learned I can set my backpack down and that I will still be safe and at peace without it.

First Try

On my first attempt at meditating, I learned that it's important to connect with myself before putting energy into other things.

Sad

I need to learn to release things sometimes even if it’s only for 5 minutes. To not worry and just focus on being happy in that moment

Lit

I needed to set aside everything for once i liked the part of putting everything in a drawer

Mindfulness

I need to live in the present moment. It’s going to take some time for me to let things go and focus my energy on what’s really going on, but I can do it. Like everything, it just takes time.

Reality

I learned that not everything we seek isn't always good for us. What we think we need isn't always going to be easy to get.

Stephanie

Today I realized that I’m not mad at the person or the situation. How I felt today with her being around was my insecurities being let loose. I have my perfect man and I hate the idea of him not being mine. But I have to understand that everyone has a past, and that’s where it was left. He is in love with me, I belong with him and that’s all that should matter.

Worry...not

You need to make time for yourself. Step away from what’s clenched you in, you can always come back and deal with it later.

Sad

I was feeling lonely today. Which i why i took our some anger on ones i loved. I want to find more joy and comfort in myself

First Day

Switching from Headspace 20 minute sessions to 3 minutes is going to be a transition. But I learned that I felt safer with a woman's voice and that there need not be so much technical work involved in meditating in the beginning. It was nice to envision a blanket and log my emotions in real time.

What I learnt

I learnt that I need to let go of my problems and place them somewhere else.

Blue Sky

No matter how cloudy it is. The blue sky remains. And the sun will shine through again.

Sad and sick

I learned that breathing slowly and focusing on it helped me release some tension

January 19, 2018

it’s okay to take time for myself. i’m allowed to set aside others for a moment while i recharge and reflect. my presence is important. breathing deeply and slowly can help me to clear my mind and stay present.

Safe place

I need to place my emotions in a safe place to gather back my energy from the world

I shouldn’t have learned this from a breathing exercise

I should be letting go but as much as I hate what I’m holding on to, it hurts more to let go.

Unusually sad

With this session I learned that bad feelings are okay to feel. But you cannot let them control you. You cannot harness them. You have to let them go somewhere that they belong.. not inside you.

I learned that ...

I need to be in the moment...in the now,I need to let go of whatever it is that’s holding me back and making me feel sad.

Misaligned.

Somewhere recently I stopped being a spiritual vehicle. I don't want my spirit to stay misaligned. Take care of that beautiful mind.

Day 1

I learned that I harbour too many negative feelings and struggle to release them

Day 1

Getting to grips with what mindfulness is and how it can calm you down if you can’t stop thinking about something

Heartbreak

I learned that even though what rob put me through was horrible I can’t think about it forever I need to love me and put all my energy back into myself.

Self-love

All the love that I give to the people around me - when I withdrew them back to me and wrap myself with the whole of it, I felt so overwhelmed I started crying. If I loved myself the same way I send my love out to people around me, how much happier will I be? I deserve this love, all of it, that I have been channelling out. Every time I'm grateful to someone for something, I should thank myself too.

Jan 21,2018

Day 1

Meditation is enlightening and really opens my eyes to broadening my mind and learning how to love being positive

Lâcher prise

Pendant un moment, j’ai laissé de côté ce qui me faisait peur pour avoir confiance

Think less

To look within myself, things could be worse. It will come with time. Luck isn’t needed, just take care of myself.

...

my worries don’t control me. My sadness will soon go away and I will be reassured from whatever is holding me down.

Them vs me

I put too much hold on relationships around me and start to lose a sense of myself in the process of keeping them so close

I learned that...

I can transport myself mentally to my most serene place and fill myself with the positive emotions to bring myself up when starting to feel a little down or stressed.

21st of Jan

I️ learned that I️ need to take time for myself and not worry all the times about the problems I’m trying to solve

Rough

I learned that I need to take time to relax and not let my mind wander and worry about negative things

Sad and Confused

A simple deep breathing meditation can release the weight off your shoulders of past grudges or bad memories or negative thoughts. Helps strive for goals. Calm.

Letting go.

I need to learn that I can’t carry the world on my shoulders. I need to let go. Let go of everything that I can’t let go of.

Learning

I learned that we should not keep our problems within ourselves, we should keep them aside to work on them

Digging deep

The closest friend to me right now is Logan and he cares how I feel and I need to dig deep in the group and keep him with me throughout my life.

Upset

Today

I learned that I need to ground myself more and focus on me. Stop worrying and bring it all back in. Enjoy what is around me.

1/21/18

You have to step back from the negatives in your life, evaluate, and learn a lesson in them. Don’t let other people stunt your growth simply because they don’t understand why your flower is different from theirs.

Day 1

I carry a lot of weight and baggage on my shoulders and when I sit and reflect I can feel myself being weighed down by my own burdens.

grounding

It’s calming to feel where your body meets the ground below you. Presence is key

Day 1

In order to get through this , I need to learn to live with it

Fortified and Vulnerable

Healing is a soft and fragile process. Fortification is gentle, nurturing and vulnerable. I don’t need to push myself through an imitation of military basic training everyday, or hurt myself when I make mistakes. I don’t need all that to be strong. I simply need to bring myself back to the moment and breathe into the essence of my true form of being. I need to love myself and give my heart the replenishment it craves. This is the way to be fortified everyday. ❤️💕

Failure

Failure is apart of life. Failing is meant to teach you and help you grow as a person. Don’t be too afraid to fail as it is inevitable. Open your eyes and continue.

#it hurts.

Not everyone’s going to be there for you but those that decide to check up on you and see how you’re going are keepers in life.

reining in

I can come back into myself and rein back my feelings and worries. I do not need to feel everything all at once

Clean the dishes

Cleaning your brain feels like cleaning dishes, sometimes you need to do very hard scrubs for the food to go away...

What I learned today -

Sometimes all we need is time alone to think about us & just us & not worry about anything that bothers us

Complete

I need to collect the pieces of myself that I have given to the world. I need to let myself become whole again. I need to let my spirit travel and find all of the pieces it is missing. I need to learn what I was meant to learn in this lifetime. It is time to fulfill my purpose.

Day 1

I can put the things weighing on my mind and set them aside for a moment until I’m ready to come back to them.

Una breve meditación y abstracción puede brindarme me atención de mi presente

Respiración y volver objetos los distractores ayuda a colocarlos fuera y tomar control

Being me

I am hurt, in pain, lost and at a daze... I am not in touch with who I really am, I miss me. After this, I feel renewed, open, a bit more happy. Thank you.

Be mindful

I learned to separate my emotions from myself every once and a while so I do not become overwhelmed

Unproductive sadness

If I just focus my mind on God and what is clean then I can accomplish anything

Sadness

I learned that sadness comes and goes, deepens and eases, and I right now feel like so neutral with a slight pain in my left side of the chest and thoughts of not being physically close to someone I would like.

A start

I cannot let things that are out of my control, control me.

Take a moment

I learned that I need to take a moment, and focus on me. My energy, my emotions, center myself. I feel much calmer.

Concentrate

I learned that I Can’t concentrate for 3 min. Hoping I can free my mind next time.

First session

I learned that I can put my problems aside for a second and focus on me. The problems will still be there when I’m done but they do not have to consume me.

Day 1

I didn’t learn anything from this session .. seems pointless..I could’ve done this on my own .

Blaaaa

Today is a very blaaaaa feeling day. I hope it can flow a little more peaceful later on.

Day1

I really need to stop focusing on only getting help for 1 thing while another needs fixing as well

What I visualized using this mediation

When she said visualize your tendrils coming back to you, I saw mine as black and hug me tightly but not so tightly where I couldn’t breathe but I just couldn’t get out of and it made me uncomfortable

Cannot focus in late hours of sadness

Jan. 27, 2018 4:15a I have been hanging in to substances that I need to let go. And I just now understood that I will have to let go the people who brought me there as well.. I cannot put myself into temptation anymore. It’s not helping in my journey to success.

idk

i learned that i have to be the main character in my life and hold into it, no matter what, i am not getting a new one...

Patience

Today I learned that patience and awarness of feelings is key. Driving them in the right direction is the first step to healing

Visualization

Today I learned that it helped to make my emotion an actual object I could put somewhere... rather than continuously cling to my being

Care

spend the most time with the people who love you and care about you the most.

Number one

It was good to be alone but hear a voice and be able to relax

Think of things as an object

It’s ok to place memories of thing of sentiment in a special safe place. But in order to recover one must let go of those things and focus on oneself.

Day 1

I need to let go of negative emotions weighing me down and holding me back from allowing my own happiness

Loving myself again

I need to breath and imagine myself stepping back into my body

River flowing

I must surrender to the things i cannot control and allow lifes current to take me and not fight it.

Weight

I feel a lot of weight on my shoulders and I need to allow this weight not to pull me down

1st time

i need to focus my energy into myself. i put out a lot of energy into he world and i must focus it all into me.

Breathing in/out

Breathing in & our whole having a voice guidance is helpful

Reflect

I shouldn’t hold onto things so hard because in the end I just get hurt.

Patience

It will take time for me to be okay with things that are out of my control but I need to stop and appreciate what I have

uh

i don’t feel that much better emotionally but i’m sleepier so that’s good i guess

Time for you

I learned that, we should allow ourselves to step out of feeling stressed or having worrisome feelings. Step out of them for ourselves so we can have a clear mind at least for a small amount of time. Then stepping back in with a clear mind and new way of thinking.

3 mins

I learned that in just 3 minutes, I could meditate, ground myself, and feel less sad.

Sad

It’s okay to be sad, stepping outside yourself and seeing how I want to feel

First session

I’m not sure how to feel. I just want my self loathing to stop and feel better.

Sad

I learned that when I had all of my “issues” that I was supposed to set down then come back to them, I imagined leaving them behind and actually thought of burying them.

Stepping Back

It was interesting to visualize a place where I can put my worries and thoughts, and leave them, knowing that I can return to deal with them later.

Feb 4

I learned that I enjoy the guided meditation. It will help with acceptance

2/5

There is so much around me and I can do so much more if I tuck that all away and focus on what is within me.

You can do better

I have done a lot of good but a lot of bad. i can do more. i have to stop second guessing my gut and believe in the power of kindness. money is only an object but kindness is an essence.

Letting go

I learned that I should let go of things toxic to me. That whenever things get stressful to not forget to take deep breaths

God has a plan

It may hurt badly. And the thing you thought you wanted most wasn’t what you needed. God has sent them away for a reason

Breathe

I learned the value of letting go of the moment for a second and getting in touch with yourself

Day #1

I learned that I needed this. I hope this is going to help me, and make me more stressfree and more nights of sleep

Relax

Relaxing your mind and putting yourself a place you feel safe and as if you belong helps calm your mind

A new feeling

I learned that I can let go of bad things in my life for even a few moments to focus on the good.

Like a pencil

I’m pointless and everything’s pointless. Nobody exists on purpose and nobody belongs anywhere.

somethings are better left untold

I am the most important person to me. People are cruel, and they can and will use your weaknesses against you. I need to trust only my closest friends with my secrets. But I need to keep my enemies even closer. Get to know their weaknesses so if need be, I have ammo, and they don’t.

Stressors

I worry about everything entirely way too much and sometimes I just need to let go.

Day 1

I learned I need to concentrate more on my breathing, be more open to listening, knowing things need to change and for myself

Ugh

This didn’t help me , i just breathed better. I don’t relate to anything said , I’m still sad.

Emotion

I overthink everything I do and everything that happens to me. I also make it a problem that I carry with me and when it’s fixed I get happy. Then something happens to it and I’m sad again.

The Golden Enamel Apple🍎

I envisioned my worries as an enamel charm like apple dipped in gold...then hung on the wispy branches of the willow tree, with streams of the sun’s light twinkling through the green strands of delicate green leaves🍃

A Monday-y Monday

Reflected on a personal relationship and how much energy I’ve put into it with only negativity coming out of it. Retracted tendrils away from them and focused that care, love and positive energy on myself where it is more deserved

Renew and fortify

I learned that I shouldn’t force anything just it happen on its own and I’ll really see a big change. Just relax and don’t stress about it

Self love

I learned that every so often it's important to reel in all the pieces of me that I've attached to other people and reset.

Renew and fortify

Taking the time to actually do this feels like the first step on to a good path

Startjng

This actually helped make me feel happy and more at peace with myself

one can not control all

not wverthing around you can be controlled by one person its takes a teams effort to make things perfect

02/12/18

Today I learned that life is short. Love with all your heart. You never know when it’s going to be your last moment with someone.

Emotions in a box

I need to learn to let go of my negative or hurt emotions because they are distracting me from focusing on myself and my happiness.

2/13/18

Your past and regrets don't define you. They guide you into a better understanding of who you want to be. Be soft on yourself, take the bad as a lesson, and the good as a blessing. 💝

Day 1

I learned that things are gonna take time and I’m in school and becoming to make a career

I can learn to feel better

I learned that even though life doesn’t go my way and it isn’t fair, I can still make the best out of what I have.

Too much

I try and focus on too much and too many things at once. I need to slow down in order to speed up and be successful. I need to manage one task at a time and one issue at a time

15/02/18

Taking a moment does help and I should let go of things more often

Zen

I learned that I deserve time for me. Even just a few minutes a day can bring me back to internal peace and reconnect myself with my spirit.

When feeling sad/melancholy/plain off

It is okay to take a step back from the pure emotions for a while to take a minute to regroup and organise what is bothering me.

Relationship

I can’t control how Connor feels. I don’t know if he likes me the way I like him, and that’s okay. With or without him I am still me, and I am still capable of giving and receiving love.

16FEB18

We should have atleast a brief moment in our daily lives to be positive despite of being feeling lonely. Remember the good things in life.

Present

Don’t think of the future the past think of the present the people you love the people you know enjoy your surroundings

Period sad emotions

You can detach from you emotions in a healthy way. Aka when having feelings of loneliness or isolation — aka my feelings that I am not valued in relationships and insecure in those relationships — I can put those aside in a vase and say hey I’m going to listen to other things right now. I’m going to take care of myself and listen to my body instead of those sad parts.

Coming back home

My home is in the present moment, in stillness and peace. Thank you

Day 1

I learned that is is okay to be sad because it will get better. I am only a person either nature, and this is my only life. I will be okay

Log 01

Life has no purpose and no one asked to be here. But now we must suffer with what we are given and can either try to pretend it’s good or just get out of it all.

1st time

I don’t know what I was expecting, but I was definitely expecting “more”. I felt like it was my first day in a class that had already begun a few weeks ago and I missed out on important instructions and/or details.

I am my own strength

I need to find strength from within. Not to try and find it externally.

Stepping back

Appreciate everything you have. Don't be afraid to step back in to your life. Kasi sarili mo lang lagi ang meron ka.

Stepping back

Appreciate everything you have. Don't be afraid to step back in to your life. Kasi sarili mo lang lagi ang meron ka.

Me

You can’t control how other people feel, and its better to think more positive and wait till they come to you

My first meditation

Wow it was so relaxing and even when I was struggling in the moment with my life, it seemed to make it a little better.

Letting Go

I learned that holding on to parts of the pst, even just mentally, can bring you down. You must have the courage to loosen that grip and let go.

Sad day

I learned that bad days happen. It’s a bad day,, not a bad life :))

Rv

This was a very short session. Excellent "tendrils" but poor for mood shifting.

It’s okay to be sad.

My first medication session brought some stuff up. I feel a little sad and raw. I realise how much I grip onto negative feelings, thoughts, interactions I can’t let go of, things that hurt me, negatives relationships and situations. I visualised a place for these thoughts. Deep inside a forest, there’s little black flowers. Each flower represents one of these thoughts. This is where they live, this is their resting space. Not overruling me and taking up my mind. 🖤

Energy

I learned that focusing my mental energy and emotions on external situations drains me of my life force. This meditation helps me visualize bringing that attention and focus back to myself and my current situation so i have the mental energy i need to accomplish my tasks.

Stuck

My thoughts and stress are placed in my stomach, where most of my troubles begin.

Session 1

I learned to view my issues as objects. I learned that I can put these issues down and walk away from them in order to take care of myself. They’ll be where I left them, so when I’m ready to go back, they’ll be there.

Renew and fortify

Put the thoughts in a safe place and come back to them. Sink into the parts that are touching the bed. Deep breathing.

1

This won’t be easy... life is sorta crappy but also little things... seem to be the most of what I’m happy about... when I looked at the bigger things I wanted to cry... but then I looked deeper... and that’s where my happiness is... I think this means that the bad things are pretty big and they take up a lot of my emotions and perspective of life... which is quite unfortunate

Lets things go

I can hold on to a feeling longer than anyone I know. I am capable of never forgetting and never dealing and never addressing and never changing. But I think I could be capable of loving myself enough to let go of pain. If I focus so closely on me and my spirit and my growth. I may be able to let go.

Beginning

I learned that I need to be strong and start from a beginning... cannot just cry and feel sorry....

Who am i?

I am in your trailer in disguise. I help others out in return I expect words of affirmation. I want others to be happy and satisfied. I just don’t know how to make myself happy. I need someone like me in my life…

Session 1

Letting your thoughts/problems/emotions consume you will not help to solve anything, you need to breathe and take a step back. Set whatever it is down in that special place and let it be until you are ready to move forward

Wicked thoughts

Heavy, smooth and calm breathing helps relax my mind. I don’t know what I’m holding on to that’s making me sad, but there’s something for sure. Letting go of it, whatever it was, for even a few minutes helped.

Reflect

I learned that I need to take more time for myself and learn to breath when I am upset

What I learned

Thank you this was my first lesson I already feel better! This really has helped me through a lot!❤️

First experience

I’ve learned how to clam myself ig? How to take in the moment and how to release some stress, not that much but some.

2-26-18

I learned that I need to focus more on myself and bring my energy towards myself.

Letting go

I learned it’s better let things go that having it damage you

Day 1

It was hard to relate to some of the symbolism’s like wrapping my energy around myself close like a blanket.

Breathing

I learned that breathing is very important to being relaxed. Breathing the correct way

Do what is best for yourself

Take all the horrible feelings and tuck them into a box and put on your desk for later. Return to more pressing matters and let it just be. Don’t let it completely take over.

Do it

Do what’s best for you and it’s okay to focus on yourself. Look out for you

Renewed

A great session filled with relaxation and clarity techniques with an influence to feel Calm and prepared to confront issues

Distracted

I felt super distracted during this session and I’m not sure why.

#1

I feel more relaxed but more aware of the pain in my chest

:/

So the beginning started out well when she told me to “loosen my grip” but by the middle I found myself zoning out almost like I was confused of what she was saying.

Not easy

This one is not an easy practice for me. Maybe because it is only 3 minutes and it would take longer to understand and feel it. Maybe it is the meditation itself.

today’s meditation

i should wrap myself in the good things like a blanket. taking the deep breaths really helped me calm down from a stressful day 💜

I felt like..

I was definitely calmed down, however still feeling a bit upset

Renewal

I actually feel better , I feel like I am floating in the air every time I listen.

I felt more calm and less worried and stressed

I learned that taking a break and breathing can really help relax

Tight grip

I learned that it is possible to loosen my grip on the things that I carry too closely that weigh me down. My goal is to be able to succeed in letting those things go peacefully.

27/3/18

I feel like this helped me get a view on what’s been going on and finding a place to put those things at rest and to find myself first before stepping back into life.

Renew And Fortify

This meditation brought me back to my safe place and helps me feel more at peace.

Confused ??

I was confused during the most of this because I didn’t understand why they kept telling me to calm down because then I was just getting more anxious

Holding onto?

I am stressed because I’m in the third or fourth day of a stunning headache, but “in pain” wasn’t a choice. Based on my “stressed “ selection I got this session were I’m asked to let go of whatever bothers me, but I’ve been trying to let this headache go for days with no luck! Not one of my more productive meditations. 😟

Hand Bags

She harnessed her dragons and produced good work channeled her highs and lows to forge an empire up from the dirt leading by example she built a brand conquered the world together with her man Always ahead of her time she came to see that service to others is the key “I have seen that sad surrender in my mother’s eyes and I can only stand apart and sympathize for we are always what our situations hand us, it’s either sadness or euphoria.” - B.J.

I felt so relieved.

I need a moment for myself,everything is good nothing will fall apart if I used some time for myself

Mindful

This was a wonderful short respite from my busy day. I felt renewed afterwards.

I like this meditation a lot.

I do think when I'm really overwhelmed/triggered/tired that I need something a bit different. But I can tell that if I just need a little pick me up then this is a good option.
