Serene Forest

Happy Forest

I really need to connect more with outdoors and feel the earth beneath me

Trying

Love in the air and no excuse to choke so I accept the facts and continue the path of love, alone or immoral

Serene Forrest

This visualization practice was very calming. I love imagining myself being surrounded by nature - especially now that it’s winter and I can’t actually do much outside.

Envisionment

Envisioning I'm in a calm area really helps boost my meditation session. Thank you

Fresh air

Imagining smells and feeling sensations was lovely. I could feel the calm of nature.

Serene Forest

Imagining myself meditating in the forest, surrounded by the sounds, sights and smells enabled me to have the perfect getaway today. Imagery of that which is familiar to me enhances my mindfulness practice. Thank you for this beautiful meditation. Namaste 🙏🏻

Calm

I truly felt at ease picturing the forest around me. I forgot about my worries and just saw the trees and immediately felt better

You can do anything

I learned that if you really really let go and engage yourself in daydreaming, you will find yourself at peace and find yourself safe in a place you’ve never been before. You will find the peace and quiet you need after a long day of hard work.

The Smell of Earth

The ability to think and have your other senses be fooled is magnificent, the smelling of lilacs, the sound of green leaves shaking in summer trees, it’s beautiful.

Forrest

I had a hard time focusing on just a forest alone, and my concentration was off. I’ll need to try again at a later date.

This was a hard one. Laying on the ground

on leaves and damp soil was kind of creepy. But I was able to stay pretty focused. I guess I’m getting the hang of keeping my mind still.

What I’ve learned

I am what I feel or think - thought attracts reality . If I put myself in a happy or calm place - It reflects and affects me psychically

Serene forest

Using all your senses in this visualization of a forest you love. Nature is a natural relaxer for me. Nice to do prior to bedtime.

What I’ve learned

Thoughts can guide us to a peaceful and calm place if it’s associated with our imagination, also brings reality with it which makes the experience more calming and good!

Tranquil nature

I love being in the woods. I learned how to apply my experience in the woods to this meditation with all the senses I really like this one a lot. But only can relax this way with guided meditation (not on my own).

Tranquil nature

I love being in the woods and I learned how to play my experiences in this meditation using all the senses very relaxing very lovely

Closeness with Earth

I️ loved that this session helped me feel so in tune with nature and Mother Earth. Such a wonderful and relaxing meditation. Thank you ☺️

Forrest

Enter the woods - a place in the mind where one must find a safe place to listen and breathe in the immediate consciousness presented.

Worst voice

Please don’t use this woman’s for any more sessions. I could not get back her lazy slurring syllables.ruined the whole intended effect.

I can always return to the trails

For 2 years following an epic hiking trip through philmont in cimaron new Mexico I would close my eyes and be transported back. Slowly this peaceful escape has faded away. Today, through this practice, it has returned. I know that in time and with repetition my mountain sanctuary will come back. Thank you for this gift.

Be somewhere calming

This is a great calming meditation. I used to picture myself on a beach, the waves lapping at my feet. Never thought to picture myself anywhere else. If you really visualise the smells and sounds, you can transport anywhere

Life

I need to appreciate what I have because it could all be taken away in a split second.

Visualization

If I can tune out my surroundings I can control my emotions through visualizations in my mind.

Forests

I learned it’s ok to pause meditation and examine on my own first why the image of a forest not pleasant even though I love them. Able to confront the why and meditate solely on being in the moment with my guide.

Day 3

The importance of being present in your meditation. Let your mind wonder, recognize it, be aware but being yourself back.

Serene forest

I learned that sometimes taking a few minutes out of your day can greatly affect stress levels.

...

I’m Always Sad .....😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😭😭😭😭😭😭

Calming Forest 🌲🍁🍂🍃🌱

Lying on my back in a forest, listening to the sounds of the forest and taking in the sent was a calming & relaxing way to end the day. I still had trouble sleeping though but eventually did. My mind was in a thinking mode & I just went with it instead of listening to more meditations. I thought I could sleep longer this morning but was startled awake by a tenant belting out something in a foreign language. Rude & unnecessary! Oh well that’s apt. life 🙀

Gifts for the soul

These few minutes each day have a huge impact on your mind and body. It's kind of like the feeling you get when you give someone a gift and you see how much they love it. Except this peace you give to your soul and you deserve it! Amen.

Serene Forrest

Easing the stress from our bodies by imagining we are in nature’s finest outdoors, where there is one on one, inner connecting to find our balance to let out the negative energy and thoughts inside of us. Then proceeding on with the right mindset.

At ease

This took me to a place I truly love. My mind is at ease.

Calming

My mind & body is & calm I feel really relax it feel relaxing 😌 I love being relax

Soothing Saturday 2-24-17

I walk through this enchanted forest as I feel the coolness with each beach and their leaves. I can hear the birds chatter and the river run.as I soak it all in, I fall into a deep meditation state and realize I was in a beautiful place. Thank you, Aura! Good nite, Everyone!

Serene Forest

This was a lovely, calming visualization experience. It gave me peace.

What I Felt First

It felt as though my body, while sitting still, slowed down; almost like the physical world met my senses at a slower, more discernible rate

Back to the forest 🍁🍃🍂

I came back to this session because I knew it was very calming and relaxing. I needed this before I head out to work. I don’t really feel like going to work today and I think once I get there it’ll be all right. I’m just feeling crummy and dealing with some pain and I think once I get there the work will take my mind off of it. Thanks Aura🙏

This session would have been enhanced with some nature sounds

I typically complain about Aura sessions featuring nature sounds, but this one could have really used that level of production!

Serenidad

Una de las cuestiones más interesantes de estar observando y aplicando prácticas de la psicología y la meditación es que ahora le comienzo a encontrar sentido a muchas cosas. Comienzo a notar que de alhuna manera ya estaba todo acomodado para encontrar las cosas y aprender, sin embargo era más necesario hacerlo de esta manera que de otra. No puedo decir que he encontrado La Paz, tal vez no lo haga pronto o nunca, pero mientras la pueda experimentar en alguno que otro momento, bien valdrá la pena.

Serene Forest

I love guided imagery, so this was super relaxing to me. I could feel my shoulders lowering back down towards the end of the meditation, as well as longer breaths and my whole body unclenching. I think I preferred that there was not any forest noises in the background, because all of the senses were coming from within my mind. It kept me present, grounded, and it was able to be MY version of a serene forest. I felt completely immersed and at peace.

Still...

By just closing my eyes and visualizing a peaceful surrounding helps calm me almost immediately

Calm

I noticed a deep feeling of calm descending on me, for a moment calming the chaos and worry that is currently my constant companion. For a moment, it was gone. Perhaps doing these short meditations throughout the day is what I really need right now.

3/18/18

i felt calm and relaxed after the session. i’m in a better mood now and i realized that my mind can take me to un-imaginable places. being able to picture the forest scene and feel like i was actually there in my mind was amazing.

Serene Forest

I love the “nature” meditations! 😊 Every one of them gives me a deep sense of peace. I think they are especially inspirational for me right now because I am living in a frozen tundra, blanketed in several feet of snow.

Deep breaths

When I exhale all the toxic emotions that I felt left my body with each breath that I took

Air

Breathing in the coolness of the air is almost a way for my mind and soul to invite gratitude and happiness into my body. Allowing it to manifest into the rest of my day.

Serene Forest

As I prepare for my upcoming trip to the forests of Oregon this was a great way to relax me before bed and let my imagination wander

Blur

I struggled to connect with this one tonight. Unsure why? My mind would just wonder.

Nature Lover

This is one of my favorite meditations on here so far. Nature always has such a calming affect on me. I also find the voice on this meditation soothing. It was a nice day here. So I went into my backyard, laid on the grass while listening to this one. Now to go fix a cup of tea and continue to sit outside for a bit.

Deep Nature

As this session went on, I was more relieved and more tension was released. Imagining myself laying on the forest floor, feeling the moist yet clean air, while taking deep breaths was so relieving. Slowly releasing tension in your body as you deeply breath.

Day one

I felt calm and able to focus. I don’t feel amazing but I feel okay.

Session 1

I can meditate! It feels great to feel away from all the stress and daily struggles of the world for a few minutes. I love just being in my own mind. I feel as if I learn something new about my self every time I meditate

Needing nature

This reminded me how much I need the forest to feel calm and grounded.

Assistance with Clarity

I want to try this one while I take a walk through the woods. There’s to many distractions here

1st Practice Went Well

My body feels great, my mind feels amazing. Most relaxing thing I have ever done in a while, I must say. Excellent.

Amazing

I learned that doing these meditations and happiness insights, really do make me feel happier and calmer

forest life

Many different images of a forest came to mind for me and as I bounced from image to image I was able to finally stop at the image which brought me the most joy. The forest at work with the children is definitely the most relaxing of all the forests i've encountered and I forever wish to relive those feelings and memories in my mind.

Not good for anxiety

I am feeling very anxious tonight, and for some reason this just made it worse. Usually meditation works very well for me but I couldn’t stop opening my eyes.

Relief

This was a great meditation for me. I love being in the Forrest. I find a certain kind of peace being surrounded by nature, grounded by Earth and its creatures, free from the chaos of city noise.

Relaxing

I felt the tension leaving my body and total ease was what remained 💓

Smell of green

I rarely go to a forest unless I’m traveling, and even then, not too much. However, pictures of forests or stands of trees always intrigue me. “What’s really in there”? This meditation takes me into the forest and shows me, in my minds eye, exactly what’s there. I can feel the breeze, hear the birds, hear the stream, feel the pine needles soft layer. It’s difficult to describe the “smell of green “. For me, it’s fresh, sharp, pleasant and cool. I close my eyes it’s there for me. How wonderful. 🙏🌷

Serene Forrest

So nice to be reminded that I can go back to the Forrest in my mind whenever I want. I am blessed to walk the trails in a nearby Forrest every day. It is one of my happy places.

Day 5

I found this very relaxing. It’s definitely a great way to start the day.

Relaxing day

I had nice day to relax & write my journal & meditate & went outside to play basketball now I am relaxing 😌

A rest on the Forest

I could imagine using all my senses and be transported. Namaste

I felt still and joyful.

I learned I can focus on my breathing and be taken on a journey to relax and focus all together. It’s settling and calming and also attentive and specific. I am energized for the day ahead...

Meditation

If I close my eyes then I can feel more comfortable and relaxed

Childhood Forest

This was a really lovely way to start my day, and it felt very personal. My grandparents live in the Appalachian mountains and whenever I picture forests I go back to being a child.

Home

I’ve done a lot of home repair in Kentucky. This meditation brought me back to the mission trips. It reminded me of the incredible people I met.

Taking in the forest

I can bring memories of calming sounds and sites to help me relax when life is chaotic.

Forest visual

Keeping focused on the images, even when my mind starts wondering and panicking bringing it back to focus on the smells, what I can see how my body can feel what I can hear. The animals, the trees, the stream. Letting my body relax and letting go of my worries and letting them sink into the forest floor. Knowing I can be kept safe by the image of the forest and be safe within the trees, with the animals going about their day and looking out for me.

Stretching...

She had me lying on the pine needle floor of the forest breathing in the evergreen smell while feeling each needle beneath me. Everything gets totally still until I start to “feel” the trees growing around me. Then I start to grow with them and I end up on their tops - like riding a mosh pit of pine trees. I try to get up but I’m stuck to their sappy tips and they start to stretch me across the whole forest until I am paper thin. Feeling their green energy and their positive growth vibe resonating thru me I am cleaned, refreshed & reinvigorated. I wake up to the smell of evergreens, on the pine needle floor and my pockets are full of pinecones! Whoa...?!? ❤️🌲👍🏼

Forest

Acknowledging the sounds of mere delight, allows one to possess contentment hardly acquirable in the present

Feeling good

I listened to this meditation with a fan on and it really helped my images the mountain air. Loved this meditation and would recommend it.

Serene Forrest

I loved this I literally felt I was in the Forrest ; and this is a happy place for me

So amazing!!

I actually felt like I was in the forest! All my senses were aligned and I felt a warm sense of calm come over me gradually. I feel very relaxed now. Thank you for this one, Aura.

I felt . . .

I have a hard time letting go of tension in my body when I exhale. I’ll have to work on that.

I get it, but...

I just got back from camping in the deep woods with my daughter, and I can tell you that laying down on a forest floor breathing crisp air is anything but relaxing or comfortable.

Serene Forrest

This was one of the very best meditations yet because I imagined being in Muir Woods, by far the most peaceful and awe-inspiring place I have ever visited. You can forget all the cares of your life there as you walk among those gigantic trees. I’m thankful to Aura for the reminder!!

Out of body

I felt like I was out of my body, it felt so peaceful to relax in a way I can’t explain. I like to just barely move in in a motion /back and forth/ in circles/ because it’s help me be at peace.

Anxiety

I learnt that with taking just a few deep breaths, even for a short time, can reduce stress and anxiety helping you to get on with your day :)

Relaxation

This meditation was the best one so far. I felt as if I was there in the forest physically and mentally and felt as if nothing could go wrong.

Breathe

I love the ones that talking about breathing. There is a reason I always do the calming anxiety ones. Lately I’ve been so nervous and all over the place. These have really helped.

first try

It was relaxing I kinda found myself falling asleep. I think I know my problems. Kinda happier more relaxed.

Enjoying a rest in the forest

Imagining I am there does transport at least a part of me to that spot. Namaste

Forrest

I knew about my longing for the woods since the beginning of time. But imagining myself in a forrest has done some great things for me. I feel relaxed now.

Wonder

I noticed a sense of wonder as I felt the nature connect with me - how beautiful this world is.

relax

I learned that I am very uptight about things and I need to learn to take time out of my day to just relax and be at peace.

trees

I absolutely love woods and trees and being in nature, whenever I'm hiking in woods I feel very much at ease and this meditation transported me to that feeling

felt lost in my breathing

I often forget to breathe, I hold my breath a lot when I get a strong emotional feeling. it's hard to remember to keep breathing. when I was finished I felt new if that makes sense, I had to look around me for a second I didn't know where I was! this could be the beginning of something great!

Super anxious! :/

I immediately felt super anxious when thinking about the forest. My brain went right to tigers and poachers and bugs I couldn’t recenter myself and didn’t finish the medication because I got too anxious. Idk if it’s my mood today but it wasn’t working

Forest

I smelt the earthy pine scent with the warmth of the sun on my back. A bubbling stream nearby. Birds singing in the distance. The wind gently swooshing through the trees

Home

This transported me to the woods next to my house growing up. I felt so calm and soothed.

The Forest

I live in Oregon so that was like relatable and so calling. I pictured I lived in the forest and the wildlife like wolves and foxes were all around me and it's fall.

sleep

Ive always had a love and hate relationship with it, but ive never imagine me having sleepless nights but after this it makes me tired and all relaxed.

Restless

I’ve never really been able to sleep but when I realized that it was effecting my productivity I knew something had to be done and I heard about this app and these mediations are something g special! Make sure that if you want them to work that you really try to make them work. Do as instructed and close your eyes and keep and open mind

Forest Meditation not for me

When she talks about lying on the florist floor and pine needles, I imagined it damp and the pine needles were poking me some. Every time she mentioned the forest floor it threw me out of the breathing & relaxing because I was mentally "uncomfortable" again. Pretty funny! This is why there's all different meditations!

The forest

I particularly noticed the cool forest air that wafted into my nostrils and lungs, filling my belly. Then gently moving out of my body. This meditation was a peaceful one with the breath and the sounds of nature in the forest. I think I will imagine myself lying in a forest more often. 😊

Serene Forest

What a wonderful meditation. I enjoyed every thing about it.

learning

this is my favourite meditation so far. I felt genuinely connected and relaxed.

Forest

This was a really good meditation, totally let me have the mindset of the forest. Overall love these types and a lovely way to end my day.

Forrest

I felt like I was in a Forrest where I happiness surrounded me. I could smell the pine trees and hear the sounds in my mind.

15 jan

I felt that my mind was at peace with my soul, body and emotion, I went from sad to calm and collected.

Serene Forest

Very relaxing afternoon break. The narrator’s voice put my off just a bit, but I loved what she was saying so much that by the end I was sorry for her to stop. 😏

Great

I felt really inspired to go into a forest for some reason. It really calmed me down though.

Really good

I have trouble getting to sleep most nights but this is helping me out big time. I find the background music with the combination of good audio and her her voice a nice experience. Every time I felt myself drifting off she’d bring me back without it being to harsh.

Mini Vacation...

I remember this meditation from a while back and put it on my favorite list to try again at the right time. Tonight was a perfect time after a long week coming home and relaxing to this meditation. The visualization of being in the forest made me feel like I took a mini vacation!

Smiling 😊

Having spent oodles of time in forests in my youth, playing, enjoying nature and camping on family vacations, it was easy for me to visualize stretching out on a forest floor covered in pine needles with my head resting on a moss-covered rock, listening to the peaceful music of a softy babbling brook accentuated by birdsong, while the pine branches above gently swayed in perfect time to the music of the brook. The dappled sunlight warmed my relaxed body, leaving me smiling at the deep sense of serenity. Thank you for this recommendation, Cyndee! 🙏♥️🙏

Really good

This meditation fills you with a sense of tranquility and leaves you in an almost nonchalant state. Really helpful for aiding you if you need help falling asleep.

At peace

Forests are where I feel most comfortable and I had almost forgotten that. To remember the feeling and the sounds and smells was mesmerizing and I couldn’t help but smile. ❤️

Meditation 0.1

I learnt that anywhere I can be calm if I put my mind to it ...

See the forest for the trees

Transported for s few minutes to that ideal place of calm and beauty. Namaste

I have learned so much in the past three days

Meditating is not that hard you just have to focus on it and remember the words exactly what the narrator said it helps I'm good at memorizing because I'm like the smartest kid in the grade and it just helps me I recommend it

Meditation

Sometimes its good to just take a break from the stress and demands of our everyday lives through meditation.

Calm in the middle of chaos

I’m at an lgbt forum right now with a lot of people at it I was kind of feeling anxious so I just popped in my headphones and listening to this. It surprisingly really relaxed me despite all the background noise.

reminders of happiness

reminded me to make sure i do things and think of things i love when im down to lift myself up

Envisioning the forest

It is very calming to think of a familiar place such as a forest. I imagined the walk out to the field and tried to see all our little paths and it was a very happy and calming feeling that came over me

Definitely my favorite I’ve tried so far. ❤️🌲

This is a beautiful practice. So calming and beautiful, I swear I could feel the crisp mountain air and smell the pretty trees 😊😊really love this one and highly recommend it to those who love trees n nature as much as I do. ❤️

3▪18▪19

taking ur mind of if stress it takes you to a calming state of mind . reflect▪ sleepy , calm, peaceful

Relaxedness

I love her voice... so relaxing. I usually fall asleep before is over.

Calming down

I learned that you have to take long deep breathes to calm you down.

Imagine a forest with birds and water

The most calming thing for me is to imagine myself being in a mystical peaceful forest almost like Adam and Eve walking through a perfect world.

Serene Forrest

This exercise was really good, hearing the noises in the environment was relaxing.

Visualize

Let go and let nature calm your mind. Simple practice that took me away.

Day 1

It was beautiful I saw , I felt , I could smell everything . I cried. the beauty by which I be held inside my head is amazing .what I could feel by thoughts is powerful . The image of a forest not that great of a good memory it gave me more anxiety than I needed . I pushed it tho and the forest floor the water stream the cold wind grazing my skin overpowered me. I beheld beauty .

I felt amazing in the forest. I was calm and didn’t have a care in the world. ❤️

I learned that simple noises and breaths can go a long way. I just can’t believe how relaxed I felt, how all of my problems seemed to disappear after two minutes. I almost didn’t want to come back into reality.

Soothing...

Glad I did this one again! Hectic week, negative people and having my house painted had me a feeling a little off the beam. But then this meditation came up so I did it and it worked. I got comfy, shut my eyes & I was instantly transported to Canada at our old cottage where I spent two weeks every summer growing up. I was laying on the softest pine needle bed under the gently swaying towering pines... the delectable aroma of musty pine & warmed dirt activated my memory banks as they poured out details of the blue sky, bright sun & cool breeze... ahh... I laid there until I got rid of all the weight of my earthly problems & knowledge & would start to float! Thanks Aura for reminding me of the truth I learned as a child - there really are no problems (outside of the Math class) and ... All is right in the world! ❤️☮️🍀

Music was distracting

I normally like that soothing background music that is on many of the tracks. However, this time I was hoping for just forest sound with minimal coaching or music. It was a nice session, just not quite what I was looking for.

Serene Forrest

I learned how to concentrate on my body and mind in a forest like environment

Remembering

I reaffirmed my connection with nature and realized once again how at peace I feel in it. I will try to surround myself and remind myself of the beauties of nature in order to meditate more effectively and handle my anxiety better.

Missing someone

I feel like I won’t ever fall in love again but at the same time I want everything that happened to stay in the past and I wish him nothing more than happiness.

meditation

I felt halfway through all the tentison I didn't realize I had slowly leave and began to feel weightless. I knew I hadn't left my bedroom but didn't feel as though I was in my room. really loved this experience.

Serene forest

I learned that maybe I need to spend a little more time inside before us because when I try to meditate being in one it’s hard for me to picture it because I don’t spend much time at Forest my special place is more like a volcanic island surrounded by wateri if I had visualized that maybe I could’ve been more peaceful.

Bad vibes , be gone!

Being alone most of the day leaves me only with my thoughts. I’m the only opinion .the only judge. Im not aware if what I have to think is self -constructive or self-demolishing . Usually I would think meditation is for weenies , but now I’m a different person in a way !A different perspective has been opened after this session, whatever decision I make about myself, is one that will lead to total happiness. Bad vibes be gone! Thanks Aura!!

That was enjoyable!

I've listened to this relaxing meditation before. This go round I allowed myself to envision the little path between my house and the back door of the dining hall at the camp I lived and worked at in Lake Arrowhead, CA more than 20 years ago! What a wonderful, spiritual time in my life! Of course, had I stayed on I never would have met my wife and fathered our three kids in the last twenty years! That takes precedence I think!

Alaska

This meditation is amazing!! In the forests of Alaska , I became speechless. Water, so cold, pure and clear, bathed your body. Suddenly, I proclaimed: “This is not just a forest: It is a cathedral. Nature’s Cathedral to God, with a choir of birds, waving trees, flora and fauna.” It was Heaven on earth!!! ❤️🙏🙏🙏

I learned nothing

First time using Aura

I learned that with just 3 minutes you can meditate! I felt calm and at peace.

imagination

Calm

I can take myself anytime I’d like to in my mind, and enjoy the beauty.

Serene forest

I need to learn how be more present in the moment. I will work on it.

Learned

I’ve learned that blank noise can make me feel scared and a sense of pain

Serene

I definitely enjoyed the vivid images presented in this. I find myself unable to spend enough time enjoying nature due to my busy schedule. Thankfully, this audio helped bring me back to one of the most peaceful and fulfilling moments of my life, one in which a I was in a forest.

i felt happy

being alone for a short amount of time can help you relax and help you be happier and to even learn to live the outside more

Wellness

My sadness can be helped if I actually try to let it and help it by these meditations they are actually very helpful

I loved this...

While listening I went into a deep relaxation phase n tingling sensation in head which relaxed my head vessels more n filled me with feeling of happiness n gratitude..tht foresty sound just amazing

Not helpful

This really wasn’t a helpful meditation for me. maybe it’s because I just started meditating? i don’t know, but this did not relax me.

Very Serene

I really enjoyed this meditation, I more pictured a meadow off of a forest I’d seen in a movie and I could picture myself there. I did already feel good though when I started so it just made me feel more serene despite someone interrupting me in the middle of it. I just paused and was able to go right back into it.

The forest

I learned that putting myself there in the forest was felt wonderful to me & reminded me of when my daughter was a baby & we were in Bala in the forest by a stream ❤️

forest

it was a mixture of a place I've been and a place I haven't. on a cliff and I could see a great view. Nature feels more real and intense than anything. I can breath and feel a calmness

I learned that I need to relax myself more and to be calm and positive not negative all the time.

I learned that I need to relax myself more and to be more calm and positive and not anxious panicky and depressed and moody and negative all the time and too self conscious about myself all the time. Also I need to stop thinking the worst all the time and to think the best sometimes instead. Life’s short enjoy it.

Serene Forest

I felt my body let go and mind free up during this meditation session. Pressure releases and I feel good.

I felt calm really relaxed ,feel light

I learnt that don't pressure myself to take a breath n be calm

Serene forest

It’s interesting the change in scenario does for people. This one was rushed to me but I enjoyed it nevertheless.

i feel so chill

i love forests cause i grew up in one, so this just made me feel really at ease. it’s so calming. highly recommend

Naive

Very nice meditation. Good intention. Although, for one who has traveled on oceans and forests, Nature quickly teaches you that she is the boss. BE ALERT! Sights, sounds, smells and what you hear. For example, when you hear birds singing - and suddenly they stop, intense quiet = there can be a predator nearby. You learn to “read” the forest. Even still, a nice meditation. ❤️🙏☮️

reflective

i’m not sure the titling of this entry is being used correctly but that’s the only word i can think of to describe it. this session helped me relax and dig deeper to think about the things in my life that make me happy and focus on the positive instead of the negativity in the world.

Lying on forest floor, not for me

I noticed that I was fine until told to imagine myself lying on the forest floor. Not something that I would do.

Serene Forrest

I learned to think of a relaxing scenery and breath slow. It really helped me calm down and relax and feel a lot better.

forest

during this little mindfulness meditation, i learnt how visualising being in a forest can really help you to relax and settle down and take your mind off of all your worries.

Serene Forrest

This was perfect! Being in the Forrest is my favorite place to be. Thank you for letting me lose myself bqck to that place.

I really released some tention and feel way better and calm now that i have conpleted this.😌

I learned that opening up your mind and relaxing more is key to releasing a little tention.

I love it

That made me fall asleep,for,14hours🌜🌛also my sisterloveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it a lot

Wednesday 6/10

I’m a big fan of being in nature, so this calmed my brain down a lot before going to sleep, especially as my thoughts started drifting to an idyllic forest (like something out of Bambi in springtime, minus the deer hunters). Thank you for this, Aura!

Probably just me

I really tried to get into this one and love it but I could not bring myself to focus. Maybe it’s just me, though. I could use more practice on allowing myself to focus on a meditation

In Nature

There is nothing more peaceful and relaxing than sitting outside, breathing fresh air in nature. I always find myself at peace with my mind, body, and spirit whenever I walk on the nature path near my house and breathe in the fresh air I find myself feeling better when I’m having a bad day. I highly recommend going nature walks

Forest

Works! Imagined peaceful, fresh air walks on Big Sur trails! Thanks.

Focus

Had a hard time focusing. Day dreaming of activities in the forest instead.

❤️❤️❤️

Reminiscent of the forests of Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. Imagine the smells of the forest after a hard rain. 🤪🙏❤️

This was good

I dont have to worry about everything all the time, and its better to just be more relaxed this helped alot thankyou!

Serene Forest

A peaceful journey for early morning mindfulness. It made me want to find a forest and journal.

Nothing to do here but relax

I noticed that the weight of my to do list melted away into the background and I finished feeling like it was lighter and I can get some sleep.

Serene Forest

My sister, Serena, listen together and it really puts our minds at ease and gives us a moment to breathe.

picturing my surroundings as a forest, tall trees reaching up to heights i can’t even see, mist covering the dewy forest floor, the sun, not fully risen yet is beaming just the right amount of light. this is what i pictured, and it gave me peace

I feel so Relaxed

I feel so relaxed that I could fall asleep right now.This meditation should help you when you feel sad

Smelling...

Lying in bed I closed my eyes breathed in slow and deep and was transported to the a White Mountains in New Hampshire. Having visited there a couple times, I just love the clean, pine smell, sparkling rivers and blue skies. I lay there enthralled with the beauty & majesty of the Mountains in the distance and the quietness of the earth around me. I breathe in deep as the musty woodsy smell fills my whole body and I turn into a big smiling emoji!! ❤️😃🍀

Calm

i learned that i have to clam myself when i need to and to take a deep breath

I felt calm

I can release tension in my body by using my mind and meditation

Day 1 Stress level 1/10

Definitely enjoyed the stream, music level, and voice message

Sleep at last!

The sounds of the birds and water in this relaxed me so well. I’m already feeling extremely sleepy!

Stan

I felt my mind going back to Stan- and his fragility. And my gratitude for his lifelong loyalty.

I felt like I took four simple minutes out of my day returned with many peaceful ones!

I learned to give myself the self care I need, I am important!

Meditation day 1

A few minutes of mindfulness goes a long way. I feel great and more relaxed than I have been in a little while!

Meditation 1

This meditation has really calmed my mind and I really felt relaxed and I felt happy

How I felt:

Makes me feel grounded and whole. A good feeling of being refreshed

After meditating for 3 minutes

I feel better. I found this app right after I decided to be okay with where I am and let go of any need to fix myself or my life. #let go

Blah

I need to become one with myself. I do feel empty. I need to be more mindful and awake

Forest meditation

I learned that it is challenging for me to visualize and stick to my vision

Breathing

I learned that I can visualize well. Focusing on my breathing stresses me out and I lose all sense of focus and calm.

I felt calm and relaxed. 🙏🏼

I learned that I like being in a forest in my imagination. 🤩

Forest of Dreams

I can picture this so clearly. It’s a place I’ve been again and again, a place I feel serene and safe. But somehow it takes a reminder to take myself there, to take even three minutes to find that peace of serenity. This helped me remember that I am worth it. I deserve to feel serene and safe. I deserve to take three minutes to find my calm.

This is such a relaxing scene to visualise

Being on your own can be a good for healing and not necessarily just an isolating experience

My favorite place to be.

The forest instantly calms me. I used to do this when I was younger and it’s still my favorite place to think of if I need to relax.

The forest

It is amazing how much imagining yourself in a different place from where you are and attempting to experience it with all five of your senses, can I have a relaxing effects on your body and mind. For some reason I found myself able to be more than what engaged in the Forest meditation then any visualization meditation I have done on this app prior. I found myself not only visualizing The forest but able to smell the Pineneedles and what the earth here at the stream and singing birds and in general to appreciate the forest as a multi sensory experience I credit the aura app for him for being my ability to meditate thank you so much for doing this. I am also grateful that aren’t as providing me with this coming forest meditation. Have a great day everyone I hope you find your peace. 

Escape into 2021

Escape Into this meditation anytime of the day. Nature heals. Nature is pure. Nature nourishes. Nature has been my escape for years and is my therapy. There is nothing quite as wonderful especially now.

I felt that I was actually in a forest!

I learned It's good to breathe in and out slowly and I learned a lot out of this it helps me a lot tysm!!

Serene forest

I’m new - this was my first meditation and since we are a camping family the forest was perfect to get lost in. Nature is the best healer ever

I felt very much like I was out in the forest, breathing in the fresh air, it was very refreshing.

I learned that if I invole my full thoughts to exactly what the meditation is about, I can actually put myself in the position to feel calmer & more at peace.

Idk

I went to a foggy forest, and I wasn't feeling very calm(or so I thought) but as soon as I opened my eyes I felt absolutely incredible, and actually ended up going back to my little forest!

Im so stressed

All i can think of is how men will always betray me with other women.

First meditation4 min

Great start. Remember how good it feels to do this. You NEVER are fret these small investments. Center yourself Invest in yourself So much better than TV

This is really good!

So far I love this app!I recommend it to anybody who has stress, anxiety or struggle with sleep.

I can relax and I can meditate when l allow myself to do so

I can relax and I can chill out and meditate when I allow myself to

First meditation

I picked a forest And then when it came to lying down there was no place to lie down so I had to pick a different forest and then I thought that was ridiculous that I was doing that while I was supposed to be relaxing. I thought about how I might like to do this Over while I wasn’t reading too much into it and stressing that I made a bad decision and forests I was trying to be relaxing

Pine needles bed

I remembered the way the pine needles smell and feel and how soft the earth is when you lay in the forest

Did they say mountain?

I picked a forest from my childhood far from any mountains but suddenly I was breathing mountain air? A little hard to re-connect after that but otherwise ok.

Helpful

That helped a lot. Although I had to use a lot of imagination about the forest air, once my mind found the attractiveness of it, it wasn’t weird at all.

Today

I learned that I love my boys more every day. I am amazed to watch them grow and become that much closer to the men they will become.

First session

I learned that nature calms my emotions. I love that I had a guide. I will make this my every day time to love myself. Love this app. ❤️

Tense

It is difficult for me to relax, to “let go.” I find myself coming back to places in my mind that are the happiest times of my life, & they stand in stark contrast to the life I now live. Calmness, stillness, seems to trigger my grief, & it overwhelms me. I avoid going there because I don’t know what to do with the contrast between a time of fullness in my life and this time of shallowness. I seem to keep myself in a chronic state of tension, like I’m purposefully - yet unconsciously - avoiding how I begin to feel when my body begins to relax. This is a barrier I face to meditation & mindfulness.

Learning

I’ve learned that it takes a lot of practice to really envision the setting in the meditations but it’s getting easier

My mind is too active!

I have a hard time clearing my mind.. I need to start focusing on really committing to the breath. And being “in the moment” not letting my mind run wild

I am

Aura is going to help me get out my funk! That I am important, to me. No person alone can help me. Only me !

Bad night

My dog was sick all night and neither of us had a good night sleep- hope to get some rest today

I noticed

My tension is greatly reduced even with just a few minutes of imagery. So difficult to let go of the tension caused by the stress of the day. Get so used to it, I have learned to just live with it. I don’t want to live with it anymore. Hope the meditations work a little magic. Thanks.

Forest breathing

I learned that God is with me wherever I go and he forgives and enriches

Distracted

I know I have to go pick up a prescription at the pharmacy. I’m tired but know I can’t relax yet and my tooth is hurting me.

I felt calmed

I can travel with my mind and make myself feel what I want to feel based on my thoughts

First meditation

I learned that I needed to continually go to my breath to stop my mind wandering to other thoughts. I look forward to being able to just be in the moment.

What inlearned

I learned to be patient and to take my breathing seriously and to just imagine different notices around I

Meditation Time

A peace breath, and relax. Concentrating with the Forest it has been an excellent nature experience. Thanks.

forest

doing this meditation outside was the best decision. picturing a forest was so much easier, and focusing on this happy place felt very realistic. loved this meditation, and recommend you do it somewhere outdoors :))

Forest

Being in the forest is my favorite place to be. Thank you for this while I try to drown out the noise of hyer another evening of fireworks

I love the sound of water

This brief meditation got me elsewhere really fast, and with my eyes closed, I felt embraced by a mountain stream.
