Sink Into Stillness

Sink into Stillness

A nice gentle meditation, relaxing and clears your mind. Takes you to a deep place , but 3 minutes is not long enough. 😊 I look forward to seeing what tomorrow brings.

A little bit of peace

I've learned that to help everyone else I need to help me first, even if that's with 5 minutes of me time and a little bit of peace to allow me to recenter.

Deeply relaxing

I believe I stayed awake and conscious throughout- but led into deep sleep and relaxation afterwards.

Relax

I'm trying to relax my mind as much as possible. I know it won't happen overnight, and it's a process.

Just what I needed

With my mind in so many places at once it's really good to just feel the stillness and stop. Makes you see you thoughts in a different perspective!

Being still to keep moving!

Giving myself a moment to be still, to allow myself to pause and embrace not doing anything, has left me feeling so much more ready to again keep moving. Balance in all things I guess!

Stillness

Meditation is my medicine. Without me practicing it daily... I am truly missing out on the fullness of what the Universe is trying to teach me, about myself and my life. It brings such a calmness and peace over me. I truly must give meditation more commitment as a priority in my daily life!

God's Rest

God is always there to grant respite between the daily fights with sin. Fall into his arms, and let Him rock us gently for refreshment before He sends us back to the task at hand.

Stillness is always within me

I can access it whenever and wherever through the power of pausing, breathing, and centering myself.

stillness

it's hard sometimes to find a moment to be still in the middle of the day, i am glad i can integrate that concept in my life and that i can find a quiet moment just by breathing deeply

Stillness

There is a stillness I can tap into at any place and any time if needed

Peace

I learned that by reaching into and accepting stillness i can find a sense of inner peace.

What a beautiful session!

I loved this feeling of deep relaxation, yet also awareness. I loved this session xx

Thank you

I actual was able to follow to session and feel the stillness. This was my first success at using meditation. Thank you.

Stillness

Omg so much needed in my life. Can go into stillness anytime you need to. Recharges brains and soul. Felt so relieved after the practice. Thank you

Take a Moment

Take a moment out of your day if you feel stressed, anxious, etc and do some breathing.

Time

I learned I need time to invest on myself and focus in my inner part.

Stillness

I believe that for me the hardest thing to do is have my mind be still. The body is still, however my mind is racing. This will take more practice but I am hopeful.

Relax be still

Today I learned that it’s not easy when your so weak to be still and try to relax must try to focus more on my breathing and living in the moment more 💛🙏🏻

Cause of stress

I learned the having Monkey AIDS is stressful. But getting it sure was fun!!!

Overwhelmed

Practice meditation and get a new lens and new perspectives on things.

HELPLESSNESS

I learned that oven though I feel as if my life is out of control, I can always lay down, and feel that everything is still here, and still to calm me.

Stillness

I don’t allow myself to be still. I feel like I’m always have to go go go, and this leaves my depleted. Finding stillness can help me feel more calm.

Still

I must learn to be still even in the most moving of times.

Stay Still

I learned that there is a certain stillness in everything. Being still will help you stay in touch with your body

Wow

I was a little skeptical about this but wow, I feel really calm and pleasant.

Find stillness in your say

Thanks to the community for sharing this one. I gave it a try and really felt a calming and content presence come over me.

Quiet Zone

When ever I need to enter or go into my quiet zone space. Just relax and go into my stillness.

stillness

I learned that there’s always a stillness within, no matter how chaotic or stressful day to day activities can get. This is my favorite meditation I’ve done so far - I feel so calm and peaceful. Perfect meditation to do before bed.

Still here

I found a simplistic pleasure in that. It's been 41 days since I started this journey. Today was a good day to be still. I find peace in stillness. When I'm anguished I become still in my faith, and steadfast in my beliefs. I try to instills in others, don't allow anyone or anything to steal your joy. 🙏🏾

Jittery yet still

I get very jittery when trying to stay still sometimes, so this exercise was interesting. Once I started focusing on the breathing and when I pause, it was a little easier to stop moving during the 3min since I wasn't thinking about me moving.

Still

I learned that if you need to rejuvenate focus on the stillness center.

Sinking into Stillness

I can find the stillness within even when I'm at work. It was as if I escaped for a few minutes.

I can't find the stillness if you speak for the entire 4 minutes

I can't find the stillness inside me if you speak for the entire 4 minutes.

Sink into stillness

Perfection.........My much needed tune up to which I own the manual ...... Perfection!!

It is hard to keep my

Mind still. I was wondering and thinking of why dean did not message me. I need to Focus on me

Stillness

I learned that I am able to have an inner calm at all times even when things are hectic in my life. To be reassured that I have my own room inside for stillness and to feel that channeling through is a great thing and I am grateful for that. 🙏🏻

Stillness

When you tune into you stillness you feel tired, heavy, and full wit joy

Stillness

There is stillness underneath all the chaos and it is always there whenever I️ need to access it.

Stillness

Love being still. Focusing on breathing and letting that which comes and goes in the mind

Stillness

Stillness is a wonderful thing around us, and in me as well.

Still means existing

Isn't easy to get into the still mode but once you re there, you always wanna be there.

Stillness

Stillness is always there to tap into, you just have to do it.

Stillness

Stillness is everywhere we go In the sky in the trees😁😁👍😁👍😁👍😁👍

Stillness meditation

Once again my mind cannot be controlled. Although my body was still and stable my mind was alert to all the noises around me and the sensations around me. When the instructor said something about feeling the stillness of the surroundings my mind did it’s own thing and thought of objections to this as I have the fan on and I could picture it spinning therefore not being still haha. I feel the same as before the meditation if only a tiny bit more sedated (as I do these meditations right before I fall asleep).

Stillness

Today I put a name to this sound I hear but, can never identify in my environment. It is the sound of stillness. It is always present underneath all the other noise. It has and will always be there for me to tap into and stay calm.

Devotion

I burned my buried body in the cemetery in the cold at night it was scary

Alerts

I learned that Aura will send notifications to remind me.......while I'm listening to a meditation...lol oh well made me smile even if it wasn't a great 3 min!

Sleeping pill

I learned that this is my second session n I have a way to go! Today my mind controls me but later if i do this everyday, I will control the mind.

i learned that

it’s good to just stop and let your mind loose. if not, you get so caught up into the voices that keep you busy during the day, telling you what to do and what not to do or who to hang out with and who not to, and forget that everything around you is still and everything is there even if you don’t acknowledge it.

Breath

Sometimes I hold my breath without even realizing it. Even when trying to relax. I need to learn to be more aware of it

Day 1

That it’s important to find you stillness this is where you mind focuses on your mind nothing else

Stillness

Stillness always exists beneath all the business and noise. We can bring ourselves to that stillness anytime we need to in spite of what is going on around us or in our minds.

Mellow Monday 12-18-17

I learned to have peace within you; to breathe when necessary. Today, is my last day of class. Things are going good at home with company, other than being completely exhausted..lol..breathe.Thank you, Aura! Have a nice day, Everyone!😀

Stillness

I learned that regardless of all the stresses of the holidays, and life in general, that I can reach back, breathe, and find the stillness that is so necessary to maintain my sense of equilibrium.

Stullness

I liked this one. Need to foster the stillness inside. Like a little snow globe of stillness where all movement stops.

Stillness

I learned that even at my most busy and stressful, there is a stillness. I need to cherish that stillness and pause and breathe more.

Refresh

Taking time to rejuvenate and fully acknowledge the importance of stillness truly opened my eyes

Sink into Stillness

I felt that the mermaid inside has the power to withdraw and let herself sink back into the world of stillness...leaving the clothes on the shore. Leaving everything behind, even words or thoughts. They can keep it.

Still Growing

I learned that being still allows me to actually grow. Instead of my energy being used to move & go, it can be redirected into new growth. Kind of like a tree... Think about it... they cannot move closer to a pond to get more water. But they grow longer roots to reach out to it. They cannot go to the store to get more food. Instead they grow taller and put out more branches with more leaves to gather more in. Each year they grow in girth and height without taking a single step. I think I want to be a tree when I grow up...

Life

Sometimes we get so caught up in the every day rush that we get so anxious and stress, getting that feeling that every thing around us is moving to fast and you are stuck, so this helped me learn how to get in sync with every thing around me, it gives me a sense of comfort!!

Dependability in Stillness

There is a dependability within me if I seek it in inner silence.

Stillness

There is a calmness and sense of peace within me I never knew. I was very relaxed

Pause between thoughts

I caught my mind wandering and I was able to bring it back to looking for the pause between thoughts.

You can’t force it

Feeling particularly stressed this morning and knowing the challenges of the day ahead I expected to much of Aura and not enough of myself. Difficult to switch off even for the session. Need to reflect more later and give myself that window to breathe just for me.

Stillness

I can turn off my thoughts. I succeed in that more fully than I ever have tonight. It was only a few moments but it is a start.

Stillness

I learned that with all the craziness in my life, there is stillness always there, just hidden. I need to take more time out of my day to embrace that stillness and live through it.

Myself

Being able to center yourself during a busy day not only has brought me clarity but acceptance of my goodness and my feelings of my self

#stressed

Anxiety can ramp up everything and make it feel like there’s too much to handle too fast, but with this one it shows u how to embrace/experience being calm and “still”

Stillness

Stillness is all around. Let yourself be still. Allowing calmness to takeover you should not be worrisome. You are worth it

Take a minute 🌹

It is so good to take even just three minutes as a moment for yourself. To stop everything and just breathe and be still. It helped to feel a little bit more refreshed and go on about my day after!

Stillness

New to meditation day 2...very relaxing looking forward to continuing on

Stillness

Despite the chaos and business that life throws at us we have the capability to bring it back to the basics in our mind and sit still in our thoughts and in our bodies.

Learning

I️ learned that besides all this craziness that happens around me there’s still that calmness in me and stillness in breath that I️ can focus on

Stillness

With all the noise of life, taking the time to be still is wonderful.

all the world will come around

if you can... sit quietly slip into the gap detach from the result do good work cultivate peace of mind from the inside bubble with laughter and joy relish simple pleasures maintain a healthy balance and daily rhythm become intoxicated with the beauty of nature then... all the world will come around

Stillness

Tapping into the calm center of my body helps me feel grounded in my strength. It helped me today to not wade deeper into the anxious waters of my worries

Stillness

I learned that when focused, the stillness is very calming.

Relax

I was able to stop thinking for a moment and relax. Find a center and let my body feel light

Sink into the Stillness

I tried but could not find that center of stillness in me at all today. Everything buzzing and nothing still. Some days it’s so much harder than others...

Relax

Relaxing your mind is important. Relaxing your mind helps you sleep better because your not constantly thinking about something

3/11

I had a hard time channeling stillness from within myself. I felt very anxious and it was distracting. I am more relaxed now than when I started though.

Hard to just be

While I find myself able to sit still, my hands were restless, wanting to play with my hair, scratch my arm, and do anything and everything except to rest by my sides. My mind initially refused to be still as well; during the course of the meditation, I gently had to remind myself that being still was productive in its own way; an opportunity to truly check-in, an opportunity to fully rest. It’s hard to feel like I deserve this rest, that I deserve to take time to meditate when I can see the unchecked boxes of my to-do list. But I try, despite my mind’s arguments. I practice meditation to remind myself that rest is essential, a way to prevent burnout and an emotional breakdown. I practice sitting still, even when it’s hard, even when I’m annoyed that I am making myself do this. But I see things shift after a few minutes. I’m a little calmer, a bit more centered. I’m nicer to myself and I am reminded that my lungs have the ability to breathe deeply.

Floating not sinking

Listening to this piece, I did not feel like I was sinking, in fact, I felt the opposite, like I was floating. However, not floating away, like I was in control. I loved this feeling.

Stillness

Wow, really appreciated my attention being drawn to all the stillness around me this morning and how it is always there

I couldn’t concentrate my mind was drifting to various other people homes

I need to stop allowing my mind to drift. I don’t have those places. I can’t change what I have. I need to find happiness and contentment. Calm spaces less clutter. White and bright.

3/25

I felt stillness and ease for the first time in a while, I will continue to challenge myself to give myself moments and focus on me at some point every day

Stillness

Lately I have been being too still. However my mind has not been still. This practice makes me aware that not only does my body need rest but so does my mind. I will use practices I have learned to allow thoughts to come and go gently without disrupting my restful for my mind.

I feel the calm upon my entire self

I can focus my energy away to calm myself from all outside noises and feelings and let my body mind be calm and inviting to re energize

Stillness

I learned that even when there are multiple things going on at once, there’s always a stillness I can tap into to keep calm and focused on the task at hand

The Stillness frequency

Great advice- I was amazed how much more of my surroundings were part of the stillness than the noise I can use this any time to pick out the stillness amidst the chaos. Namaste

Stillness

I like the fact that regardless of what goes on around me there is a sense of stillness in my breath. I need to focus on that expanse of stillness inside me.

The hum of the earth

We are not made for such busy lives. The clutter of our daily schedules separates us from the nature of our existence. How sweet it was to dip into the slow and steady hum of the world and return to the serene stillness it was created to be. I am reminded of who I am and what I am not.

Stillness must be hard for me

When I was to imagine sinking into the stillness inside me, I saw myself melting in my stomach acid. Maybe I’m not in a great place right now and that’s okay.

Ready for bed

When doing this session, I actually got sleepy. Not sure if it was from the day or just how relaxed I got. None of the less, it can't be bad right? I am ready for sleep.

Stillness

I wanted very badly to find the stillness, but I struggled to shut down my thoughts. Try again tomorrow!

This thing is good as heck I like it a lot ....................................

Stillness

I learned that the stillness can always be found and realizing it can be found under the chatter of the mind or under the noise of the environment means that you don’t need to wait for those things to leave. You can always find the stillness.

This is wonderful. Thank you!

I could be still and work with greater ease. Thank you so much!

Amazing

That made me feel so good afterwards. I felt really floaty as well. 🤩

Calm

I learned that this meditation was great for letting go of a lot of bad energy that I was holding on to.

Deep down

There is stillness deep down beneath every surface. You just need to breathe and center yourself to find it.

I felt safe

I realised that just focusing on breathing helps me calm down, feel safe and stop feeling so anxious or stop overthinking. It helped me to let my focus slide.

Sit in stillness.

I felt relaxed and calm. Starting these meditations first thing in the morning really helps get my day started positively.

stillness

stillness is where I can let go of all I carry and just be. refresh.

Jitters

I am not very good at being still. I fidget. I move a limb. I scratch an itch. I wiggle my toes. I lay still for seconds maybe minutes. Before I move again.

The boulder

Something we think is just part of us that has always been there, could be something that we have lived into being. It may not be an inevitable part of our DNA, but something we have created for our life by living that way. I am thinking of my temper which I think of as inborn. It is quite liberating to think of it as being self-created. That way I have more control over it.

session 2 on 9/13

I noticed that I fell completely into stillness, I didn't notice anything at all. Almost as if everything around me had disappeared.

Music / background noise of today’s lesson

Loved the background noise and the music at the end! It helped me to concentrate even when the wind picked up outside my window

Noticed

I noticed that after this exercise I became more alert for the day.

This is odd

For some reason I felt comfortable with myself. Doing a simple breathing exercise I found relaxation independently.

The more I focused on the words, the more I felt relaxed and the more my body felt amazing.

Breathing is a great and easy way to clear your mind, and give you a peace of mine.

Sinking in to stillness was rejuvenating

Letting go of thoughts and focusing on the way my body felt was a very calm and peaceful experience. Focusing on breath and the body experience brought calm stillness throughout my body. I haven’t felt completely rested when I wake up in the morning for over a week now and I like the effect this meditation had on my mind and body.

The Stillness Frequency

All sound starts, pauses, and ends with stillness- it’s always among us somewhere. Namaste.

Sinking still

The music in the background helped me relax as well as the calm voice that was used. Her words soothed my soul and it made me feel so relaxed, warm and still. The feeling still continues throughout your day.

first "meditation"

I actually felt more relaxed by the end of it and I can say it definitely persists after the mini session is done

Being Still

I don’t always know how to be still. It is so hard for me. This helped me find stillness during a very hard day.

Nice

I’m fine idk how to feel now so yeah I guess I’m fine. (This is asking me to write more so I’m just writing this so that I can send it)

Stillness

It really helped me relax as I have a few tough tasks ahead today, the stillness is jist what I needed.

Stillness

It helped me relax but I struggled with letting my mind tap into the stillness. I would like to try this one again soon

relation and focusing

when I am laying down to feel more comfortable like your on a cloud of floating or in a bath relaxing more and focusing on breathing and not drifting off to other thoughts

Sink into stillness

There is stillness always present underneath the noise. To tap into this stillness can bring calm to our lives.

My breathing

As I listened to this I really became aware of my breathing. Feeling the cold air from my room breezing in and out of my lips and past my tongue. My abdomen inflating and deflating with every passing moment. It was quite relaxing and got me in the right mood to fall asleep to.

Rejuvenating

Three minutes sped by in this peaceful meditation! I was refreshed and ready to go after enjoying the calming of stillness. I think this meditation would be wonderful anytime of day, from beginning to end but especially when you need to quiet your thoughts. 💫♥️💫

Calm

I felt connected to the calm available everywhere, picturing an imaginary plane sharing calming expanding on and on.

Stillness

I went still in this exercise, almost frozen. This was a great exercise for concentration and meditation.

Relax

I learned to breath slow and feel it. I close my eye and only thinking in breaking.

Yes!

I was able to tune into my higher self and just breathe and relax while listening to this, instead of focusing on chores and things that I wanted to do. I was able to reset myself into a state of just being one with the all that is, which is a much more peaceful way to be. Thank you bring me more of the good stuff. 💝

Centering

I was able to more center my anxious thoughts before a virtual meeting. My thoughts became more consciously self loving . 🧡

Stop runaway thoughts

When I wake up sometimes my thoughts start racing. I think of things left undone, things I want to do today, problems that need resolution and so many more. It's like a classroom of children all shouting at once demanding to be heard. So having a "pool" of stillness to sink into is a requirement for my health.

Calm and still are related but not the same

Stillness is where we are most open to the teachings. Listening to the stillness is part of your open container promise. Calm your busy mind so that you can be still and truly open.

Difficulty

I learned that I have a bit of trouble finding my stillness. My thoughts kept rattling around, disturbing my attempt at stillness. This is definitely something that I need to work on.

Calming...

Her voice was calming from the start. She had me relaxed and breathing deep and easy. A few muscle twitches and I became the smooth surface on a calm pond...the air was perfectly still... no movement, no noises... dead calm... I barely remember breathing... just existing...nothing but existing... very relaxing... peace-full! ☮️😑🍀

Tuning In...

Behind the scenes, there is a frequency of stillness that is waiting to be tuned in to. In this meditation, we learn how to tune into this stillness. Getting comfortable in an upright position on the side of my bed, I felt how this bed supported me. Paying attention to my body, I noticed that my muscles were slightly tensed. As I began to relax, the sounds I heard in my surroundings began to fade away. Paying attention to the space around me, I felt a nothingness begin to form. With my body relaxed, my mind calm, I began to tune into the frequency of stillness. All of the sudden, I found myself floating on top of a calm pool of water. As I spread my arms out, I felt the space between my body and the top layer of the water. Knowing that this space was supporting me, I sunk further into stillness. Experiencing thoughtlessness, the only movement I sensed was this body of mine breathing. Coming back to the room I was in, I felt the support of the bed below me. Sounds in my surroundings began to appear in my awareness again. Opening my eyes, I noticed how I felt. Allowing myself to tune into the frequency of stillness, I have changed how I feel. Today is going to be a great day! Thank you, Walter and C+D! Namaste 🙏🏻❤️☮️

Still

Christina, yes! Frequency of stillness! Infinite stillness! Added creative and poverty stillness frequencies! Wow! Thanks.

My breath is my stillness

With tears running down my face and ragged breaths I push away all the chatter and thoughts coursing my head. I slowly dove into the breaths as I listened to her voice. I feel so blessed to have this opportunity to simple breath and be still. I feel calm and open, ready to step forward in my day.

Stillness and peace

I am beginning to understand/feel that there are different planes of consciousness. I am always at the ready state and sense the stillness and peace state but am afraid or unwilling to go there. I believe that God intents us to live in the stillness, but how do I allow myself to go there, let alone live there.

On Art

I noticed that people have a need to create, and what they create is an expression of who they are. Everyone is innately an artist or a storyteller. It’s why fashion, art, writing is so hard and so expensive. What they wear, what they buy and how they express themselves is more important than who they say they are or think that they are.

Stillness

This was wonderful. Starting your day from a point of stillness is very grounding and gives you a tether to return to calm any time you need it throughout the day.

Stillness

I noticed that I am on alert when at school, especially when students are in the hallway outside my office. Tuning into underlying stillness helped to ease me.

I feel known today By me I feel very happy to accept me today as I am as I am becominung as I am Thank you ♥️🙏🏽♥️🧘🏼‍♀️

I surround myself with the people I love the most in this world, in this tackle world, in our online world... and I feel In Peace with All Living Beings whether they offer Peace or not because Yes I do feel the Stillness! Thank you! ♥️🙏🏽💞

Stillness within

Always within us, always here for us, ready to be joined. Namaste

Calmness

I learned that I am okay. I can be still and yet get things done in time

Stillness

My favorite part was tuning into the stillness around me and absorbing it.

Stillness

I felt myself sink into a lovely stillness right away. I had no thoughts or distractions. It feels like I'm floating. No worries, nothing but stillness. I really must do more meditating. I loved your voice and I loved this meditation. Thank you. ♥️
