Soothing Breath

Centered grounded prepared

I'm always amazed by the power of meditation to transform my mood and mindset it's like soft reboot that helps me naturally prioritize my thought process for the rest of the day

Excellent stress reliever

I feel very stressed going in and felt so much more relaxed coming out. Thank you.

Connecting

I felt the connection to the Divine in this practice. Ahhhhhhhh 🙏🏻

Power of a Soothing Breath!

I learned that a soothing breath can bring you to a new more positive mind set.

Soothing breath

Using a slow and controlled breath can help ease some of the tension I've been holding on to. I'm slowly starting to let go of my demons so I can heal.

I found deep breathing relaxing

I liked putting my hand above my chest -- that was really useful for starting deep breathing

Soothing Breath

I learned that I quite like these more simple forms of meditation. The soothing breathe as well as maneuvering the hand over the abdomen actually helped me release my tension.

Sunrise/ Sunset

The feeling of letting go felt natural again. So many things we rush to get or accomplish, forgetting the beauty of just being in the moment.. Like a Sunrise and Sunset!

Relaxed

Need not think or do anything else but to breathe for relaxation.

very nice

I almost started crying during this due to how soothing it was, deep breathing and focusing on that really does help relive sadness/stress :)

Very relaxing

I needed that relaxing moment before going to sleep, it help a lot and it gave a good advice.

Wow

this meditation really left me relaxed and helped me escape my own thoughts and go deeper in stillness. i love the clarity i’m experiencing after!

A little apprehensive

At first I was doubting this meditation but I came to realization that like the say I can't judge a book by its cover an u can't jump to the last page so let go an let God #I FEEL AMAZING 💪🏽🤙🏽☺️

Soothing breath

I learned that by taking the time to consciously focus on my breath it helped me let go of things I wasn’t even aware of I was gripping so tightly. That helped ease the anxious racing mind that I awoke to. Much nicer start to my day. 😊Repeat as needed.

First day of learning mindfulness and after a breakup

When she said "Let's feel content" I unconsciously smiled and felt at peace with myself. And breathing makes it easier for me to let go of stress and bad feelings. Thank you! I hope I will make meditation and mindfulness become a habit and it will improve my life :)

Wow ☺️

I felt so content and relaxed when I opened my eyes it ft great!!!

Breathe

Taking deeper and fuller breathes and imagining the filling up my lungs helped.

Soothing breaths

I learned that soothing breaths makes me feel better and makes my day brighter. It also helps me feel relaxed 😌.

The sole of living

Some days we just need to let out stress. I've always heard to breathe in and out and to take deep breaths when feeling stressed or overwhelmed, but it's never really helped. Today's meditation taught me that I need to be relaxed while doing so. If we don't breathe, then we won't live. Breathing is the heart of surviving. We all need to take breaks sometimes to just enjoy the air that God has surrounded us with. I feel so calm after this. Thank you!

Just taking a deep breath can be very coming after a stressful day

Useful

I could use this during moments when I am feeling stressed. Just taking a moment away from what is happening to release the stress I’m feeling.

Necessary

I learned that we don’t take enough time out of our days to really connect with ourselves rather we’re too busy connecting with others.

Wow

Thank you, this was really great. With so many pressures from so many different directions it was great to just push it all aside and focus on something so tiny but so important; breathing. It really puts things in a new perspective.

Breathing

It really does help to take just a few minutes to breathe and let go

Rushed

I always feel rushed during the deep breathing moments because I can't help but take long deep breaths. Then I just get more anxious because I'm feeling rushed. Argh.

Letting Go

I love the imagery of letting go like a gardener after a long day finally sitting down. I was really able to relate to that sense of letting go and relaxing, which really helped me to be able to let go of my own tension and stresses.

Letting Go

I find that slow deep breaths really are soothing. I didn’t feel I had any tension to let go of in the beginning, but got confused when she said to let your breath be natural and then said something about a deep breath and then I just had to let that go.

Slow breathes

Breathing at a slower pace is a good exercise for when I’m anxious

Slow breathing

It feels like its not ok if u feel stressed because it's useless but this helps you relax and thing peacefully

Deep Breathing

It really relaxes you and maybe I haven’t been breathing like I should be. Thanks Aura

Breath work

Found it hard to concentrate tonight. Faced with distraction. It is maddening at times when I cannot disassociate from distractions.

Day1

Different... but will continue with hope to reduce daily stress

Breathe is key

Calm mind with quiet breathe very nice I could listen to myself and to nature

For the soul

I have to let things go specially when they’re not up to me, I have to feel complete and comfortable with myself and that beginning by let things go

Just being

Is a miracle. I used to condition my self acceptance to my deeds, but virtue cannot be born out of love. Virtue is the child of unconditional love, to myself, and to everything else.

🌞Smooth ❄️Breathing ❄️Today 🌞

Good Morning my Aura Family. My oldest daughter decided to call me today and told me mom I took the day off you want to go out and have lunch. I think it'll be nice for us just to hang out together so she's bringing my grandson and I'm bringing my baby too and we're going to hang out together. It's always good to be thankful and count my blessings my Family means Love to me. My husband called me this morning to tell me that he's getting sick I guess he's over our argument and that he booked us a vacation for spring break. By the way I did take a good Aura Family members advice and I text him last night because I wasn't going to call and I told him I was Sorry. He text me back and he said I know we both are Sorry. So I knew today would be a better day smooth breathing. Always be Thankful. Thank all of you for your Support Last Night Breathing Is Easier Today.

This is all new to me.

I can only stay focused a for a minute. My mind is racing ...all the time 😔

Can

You should will be amazed the boring and the bad the sad flat whatever all good for me then and tomorrow

New Technique:

If I find thoughts filling my head back up, using the exhale to release them, and let go. To soften my gaze, widen my vision again, and open back up my awareness. Try lengthening the exhale m

Mindful breathing

I learned that I take shallow breaths and that it’s difficult to take in deep breaths. I may have to train my body to slow down.

Content

"Content, for one moment, just to be." (What?! Reflection too short to record. Please write more. Nice test! You got me. I lost my contentness and became frustrated) Need more practice.

Just a few minutes...

Just a few minutes of solitude for yourself, to allow you to breathe in and exhale any negativity that is preventing you from your own sense of calm. Nothing is too important that you can’t take three minutes for you.

Thoughts

I learned that I want to be more aware of my thoughts and not let them control my emotions or feeling which in turn would affect my behavior and how I act. I want to be in control.

Relaxing

Definitely a good meditation to listen to to relax if you're stressed out and I learned how to breathe out things that are stressful.

Reaching Happiness

I learned to let go of my resentments and be contented for what I had now. I'm glad to saw my family, relatives and friends rejoicing with my dad's birthday celebration, specially the happiness that I saw in my dad's face. He was a funny bone one! I'm very glad to received it as well! So many things to say but I can't say it all, all I can do for now was to share my love for you, Happy Birthday Dad! <3

Deep Breaths

A simple series of deep breaths work for anxiety. 3 min was good for me in the morning.

Deep Breaths

When you are stressed, sometimes it is hard to slow down and realize that everything is going to be okay. However, something as simple as taking some mindful breaths may help to release your stress. If every time that you were stressed you could just take a few deep, peaceful breaths, your life would probably be less stressful.☺️☁️👍🏻

Relax

Taking deep breaths and forgetting about the stresses in life is a great way to start the day as well as a great way to end it.

Being Mindful

Re-establishing how good life really is and the potential to maker it greater as you take a moment for yourself

Soothing Breath

Today, really this evening, I just couldn’t do this. Too much anxiety and a headache. Feeling like saying I’m sorry.

Happy ever after

This meditation was a perfect ending to a great day. The little things I worried about went away and I know I won’t have to revisit them again. I flopped on my bed and just breathed and felt relief and gratitude that I am here, healthy and happy. Blessings to you, Cindy, for this meditation. ❤️🌷

Let it go

Little niggles, gripes from the day before, worries and troubles. Why take the unwanted baggage to a new day. Start fresh, new beginnings, see light through the darkness, it’s beckoning warm light entices you to dream of better things to come, promises hope. May that light be forever in your reach and achieved.

The Breath: A Self Soothing Mechanism

Much of the time, I have trouble soothing my own emotions. Instead of calming the emotional storm myself, I often look to others to do it for me. Today, however, I realized that through meditation, mindfulness, or pranayama, I can indeed self soothe. It’s time to turn inward, toward the self for calming, rather than to outside sources. All of the wisdom and answers lies within.

Breath

take the time to relax and feel the stress coming off of you

okay

it’ll all be okay . things will change . no matter what happens it’ll all workout in the end .

alpha omega eve

Letting go

It’s important to let go. And to take time to release daily stress.

breathing

I learned that breathing deeply can bring all sorts of new calm and all sorts of waves of relaxation and that I should take time out of my day to just breathe

Soothing breath

I learned that deep breathing, focusing only on the breaths, takes away any stress and negative thoughts while relaxes my mind and body.

Soothing breath

It helped to use my breath to reconnect and soothe myself after a tough day doing some recovery work

Not helping

I am giving up on this group of sessions. They don’t seem to be at all about sleep.

Breathing

I learned that breathing and focus is the important thing. Rather than WORRYING about HOW exactly your breathing. Like follow the technique, but don’t over-analyze. I love when she says. You may even sigh. And then later on, just BE. By then everything was natural and I was feeling anxiety fall away.

1/14/18

I learned that for me, deep breathing can help me calm down. Before I started this meditation I was quite upset but even the 3 minutes of focusing on my breath was enough to get my mind to a better place.

Reconnect

The soothing sensation of the breathe can do wonders to life

This was helpful

The 7 minutes were a bit long when you have kids screaming around, but it was helpful

Breathe

Breathe, you have to do take one every few seconds of the day. It’s important! It is so relaxing to just sit and feel your belly as you breathe🤭

This one I didn’t enjoy as much.

I prefer box breathing techniques as they keep me focused and in the present.

Ahhhh..

Breath slows down Aligning body, mind and spirit. I am refreshed, and relaxed. I am present and available to what comes now....

Day 3

I learned that taking deep breaths can relax your body slowly

I enjoyed the breathing

I enjoy the aspect of the breathing but I didn’t like the lady’s voice who did the session. She talked about a gardener and sighing and it distracted me and made me feel like I had to sigh.

I need to be more in the moment

It was hard not to let my mind wander. I obviously have a huge thing on my mind right now that detracts attention from everything else. It will get better. You will be okay.

Helpful

That even if you don’t sleep as much as you should smooth breathing can really help ( I’m a 14 year old dancer I dance 45 min away from my house and every night get out of dance at 9:30 so coming home knowing I can do aura is great)

What I can control

I learned that I can control my breathing! Thank you God for that. I am the captain of my own happiness

Deep breaths and a soft gaze helps

Taking deep breaths and closing my eyes imagining myself softly gazing at the sky helps. I feel more relaxed and less stressed. Thanks and sorry I haven’t been here in awhile.

Exhale

The exhale is so important. It lets you release. Focus on that

1.29.18

Taking the time to breathe and focus on the breath regrounds you. Releasing all worries, all stress, all tension on the exhale - what a rejuvenating practice!

Breathe

If I just breathe my mind shuts off which will literally solve most of my problems

Breathe. Breathe. I love these. Today is day 1 of no purging and being in my body! Thank you....g

Slow down. Relax. Breathe. And breathe again....,. And repeat And again Slowly

First day to happiness

I learned that I can be a bit difficult under stress. That I need to learn to express my feelings in a safe positive way.

Calmness

To have my mind set on calmness by breathing, take a few minutes by breathing with peaceful mind.

Soothing

For once today, my mind was calm. I find taking deep breaths allows the constant ache in my head, probably from stress and work, to go away

Breathing techniques

This can be practiced anywhere. Keep your eyes open and stare off, breath in (with nourishment), and breath out (letting all anxiety, worries, or fears go). Practice this when you are nervous ex: right before going in for a job interview

Letting things go

I learned that i need to let things go sometimes, at the end of the day i need to try to relax and let all the stress in my body go away.

Breathing

I learned that sitting back and taking deep breaths is important sometimes

Breathing technique

Putting your hand on your abdomen helps deep breathing. I also liked lying on my back.

True Fault

Life is a thing we don’t deserve to control But sometimes you realize bad things happen by your presence exclusive that That is the true fault It’s a feeling you will carry But meditation helps Understanding and carrying this

Let it Go

Imagining myself letting go of the distracting thoughts that come to me during meditation helps diffuse them without engaging with them. Push them away like clouds or feathers or put them into a balloon and let go of the string.

Breath

I should do this before bed every night. I really enjoyed it.

Dwell

What we dwell on is what we become. So good. Dwell on the good. You are good.

Before bed

I felt relaxed and less stressed than ever. I was trying to fall asleep, which is why I tried this, and it made me calm and tired

In control

I learned that by inhaling and exhaling can actually calm me down

Soothing Breath

I felt very relaxed but noticed I could still hear/ my mind tried to focus on outside interferences and noises. I need to work on blocking those sounds out and not letting them bother me.

Breathing

I did this meditation right after I found out my aunt was diagnosed with cancer for the second time. I was very upset and sad. Now that I have taken time to breathe I know that everything will be okay and I need to stop and take some time to breathe throughout my day.

Letting go

The moment I closed my eyes and started focusing on my breathing, I couldn’t stop yawning and I actually almost fell asleep just before the session ended. It made me realize how tired I was and how I always chose to stay up juuust a little longer until it was the middle of the night. I need to pay more attention to my sleeping schedule.

Breathing

Breathing in I imagine a golden light filling me with love, peace, and good health. As I exhale I release negativity and/or anxiety I may be holding onto. This makes for a much more soothing, restful sleep. Goodnight 🦋

Deep Breaths

I learned that taking deep breaths for a few minutes could calm me down a lot.

An Unknown Island

We don’t fight because we hate what’s ahead of us - we fight because we love what we left behind

Wow

I learned that I can easily calm myself down with breathing. Just wow

reflection

this for sure felt good to just calm down and actually relax

today in life....

at the end of the day it’s soothing and relaxing to be able to listen,experience and do the little steps to being more positive at the end of the day. Thank you!

Day 86

I enjoyed focusing on letting go of what was going on while we exhaled

Background NOISES!

Urg.. sometimes three minutes is a long time... I still enjoyed lyndi’s voice.. I think I like her talks the best, -so far anyways.. I appreciate the small focus I have with this app..

Peace

Grateful for this app to remind me to take pause. Peace is within

Meditation Reflection April 10

Unfortunately when I do meditations before bed, my mind often wanders and focuses on the things I need to complete tomorrow rather than fully be in he moment and focus on my breathing etc.

Day 5

It was an ok day and then it was really hard when I was showering and getting ready for bed because a depression wave hit me. The meditation helped soothe me and I feel a little bit less sad just kind of not feeling anything right now though.

Great

I feel like I completely let go of the anxious feeling in my belly and that I can now move forward with my day.

Meditation 9

I can reduce my levels of stress just with learning how to control my breath, it will help with my heart beat and to relax my body

Just letting go

Letting go of anxious thoughts and reminding myself to meet myself where I am, this Monday morning. Trusting that things are falling into place and that I will be okay, no matter what.

Calm

I had a million thought running through my head before but as I let go I was able to feel calm and relaxed. I feel so much better now.

You unlimited

This to shall pass took on a whole new meaning. If only my mother could have realized she was not her feelings. What a difference it would have made to so many as she passed that on

Randomly Anxious

I’m not sure if I’m overly aware of my own breathing or I have actual breathing problems but that’s made me stressed and anxious today and yesterday. I just want to go about my day without being overly conscious of my own breathing.

Taking to the Time to Breathe

It was nice to return to the breath and let the mind relax and practice letting go.

entry 1

I feel more at peace? My breathing is also more centered. I found myself getting lost in those words.

Calm and at oeace

I learned that when you take the time to concentrate on your breath, you feel more at peace because you are able to push away the negative thoughts and distractions of your day to day life.

Sunday

I learned that you can unwind no matter how stressed you are, I felt myself smiling halfway through this.

Unwinding

I learned that I’ve been thinking about meditation all wrong. Recently I’ve been stopping throughout my day, whether I’ve had a stressful moment or just life happening in general, and breathing for a minute or two and just realizing that everything is okay. No matter what’s happened, what’s going to happen, or what’s happening, in that moment I am okay and I wish everyone could feel like this always. I wish I could just talk to everyone and tell them they’re okay because even if you’re feeling down or stressed people still love you and are there for you. If you’re reading this I hope you have a great day/night and know that you are loved. Thank you

Very soothing

The imagery of relaxing into an armchair after a long day and sighing deeply on the exhale really helped me relax fully. I zone out during some meditations, but this one held my attention. Bindi has a very pleasant voice.

Soothing the breath

I learned that Sometimes when we have rough days we just have to let it go

End of day

I am tired so focusing on my breathing and not everything I have to do tomorrow really helped me get to where I could relax

don’t stress, just breathe.

i usually always panic when i feel incapable of completing an assignment for college even though a graduated a year early from high school. i noticed most people see things in me that i probably still don’t see in myself. i think i’m hard on myself sometimes honestly. by being a perfectionist, i just like things to go smoothly and easily. i stay up so late just to do work and i try to make a schedule but things get tough throughout the week considering i’m a full time student. however, i’ll be sure to take a break from working then take nice deep breaths and whisper positive things to myself.

| 1 |

I’ve heard many great reviews about this Aura app and had to try it for myself since i’ve been feeling down lately and have been wanting to do something different. So far, I really like how it’s set up and even though the results take time, I already feel better just know that something can help me take the time to relax.

Breathing....

The pent breath does nothing but add tension to the body; but exhale, especially a long, deep exhale can relax it.

Anxious mind

A round and around it goes. The next thought pushing out the current thought. Racing thoughts prevent relaxation and sleep. My mind slows when I slow my breath. Slowly but surely one minute at a time, my thoughts slow down.

work

I focus and relax more at work with this meditation. it puts me in better head space for coworkers and patients.

Morning struggles

I’ve learnt that I struggle to relax and meditate in the mornings as I have so much to think about to get me through the day. By being conscious about this, I am now aware of the fact that I need to live the moment and not race too far ahead.

Soothing Breath

What a wonderful way to start my day. But the more I thought about it, the breath is wth me all of the time. I just need to remember to return to it

Bit calmer

I find gathering all my thoughts, stress, and feelings together then letting them out by by exhaling deeply really relaxes me. Just remember to focus on the positive and breath out the stress.

Breathing

I learned that taking deep breaths and slow breaths calms me down, and when i can’t sleep or also helps me relax and really sink into my thoughts.

Gardener

The comparison of my mental exhaustion to physical exhaustion was really validating. It let me know that I can let go now and relax, the same way a physically strained person might be.

Nice

She has a really nice voice. Really relaxing and uplifting. I feel very relaxed.

Soothing Breath

And it is just that! A very soothing breathing session with Lyndi, who has a lovely voice prompting you to let go and relax! I feel very ready for sleep! I also love the Aura piano lead-in and exit! It is so calming!

Just Exhale

By breathing, you are able to release any type of stress and really clear you mind off.

Letting go

It feels so good to just let go of your day and relax. Why do we need to remind ourselves to do this? It seems it should occur naturally without thought.

Just a few moments to reconnect and let go of the days tension

Taking a moment to sit or lay and focus on breath work. Inhaling as much as possible and exhaling all the negativity and unnecessary thoughts.

Lyndi happily

Glad to be given a track from Lyndi tonight. Didn't really find the emotion I was feeling in the list, so ended up choosing ”stressed” tonight, though what I really am is angry. I KNOW I had a stroke, and that my mind and temper are both short served anymore, but I DO know some things! Remember some things! Why can't my family understand that!?! I was in my office most of the day, working with computers, doing my best. I was feeling pretty proud of myself too! Then my 11y/o showed up after school and whisked her iPhone away from her desk in my office where I had been working on it. No one would listen to me that I had accomplished a goal, had a plan in place. Was accomplishing things and was feeling proud of myself! Dad’s got a broken brain. Dad gets angry easily. Dad couldn't possibly know what he's doing anymore! 😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡

Exactly as Advertised!

Jokes aside, this is a very relaxing and calming practice that is good for releasing tension.

Soothing

It’s soothing but I had way too many people who were disturbing me today.

Nice tranquil pauses

I found myself noticing my whole body as I breathed, given the space to just do that by the instructor. It was very calming, although in this moment I would have preferred something more invigorating, perhaps involving breath work, to get me motivated to do the things I'm stressed about.

Meditating

I really love meditating its really relaxing & makes me feel less stress I meditate before I write my journal

Breathing Break

This was a nice break and a nice one to do before bed. I resonated with the gardener coming into their favorite chair after a long days work and sighing.

Lyndi Thanks, Your Letting go meditation is a simple exercise that creates an inner peace

This type of nutrition is Like honey on cornbread and hold the butter for another delicious meal. Honesty is always the winner. Our life going forward is to precious to be mired in the past tense. Lyndi is always a pleasure to have your calming soul to bring us to a soft landing ❤️

Feelings

I can let go. And feel peace for a moment. It’s easier than I thought it would be. I will continue to do this.

Soothing breathing

I felt very controlled, relaxed, calm, and comfortable after I did this session. I noticed that I feel very focused and alert when taking deep breathes.

Soothing breath

With each deep breath I felt all the stress is going out ❤️❤️❤️

Learning

I’m still learning to let go. I feel more at ease though. Less stressed.

Breathing

I felt that as I took in a deep breath and let it go I started to get goosebumps! I don’t know if I’m letting go but it felt good!

Learning

Shorter inbreath than outbreath is relaxing. Sound of water in background also helps feel “softer.”
