Space is everywhere. It's open, accepting, infinite, and indestructible. Tap into these freeing qualities as you open up to the spaciousness within and all around you.

Space...The Final Frontier...
And now I see/feel space is all around us. Inside us. The space of lung. The space of heart. The space of room. The space of noise. And the quiet of all these spaces brings deep peace. Have a beautiful day.

Each day is a blessing
When I wake up it's a gift. To learn and love with all my heart is miracle within! I am happy for this day. I know I am protected and special.

Spacious breathing
I realized how little my usual awareness of breathing is, I am not using the full space (or capacity) of my lungs and this holds me back. Physically and mentally.

Spaciousness
I feel an interesting sensation when switching my focus on the space in my body as opposed to the space of the outside world. Whereas we know the world is a huge realm of near infinite possibilities, the body has more of a "quiet vastness".

Space within and without
The space that exists within me is interconnected with the space outside. Within my consciousness they effect one another. I feel free-er and more alive.

Growth
I learned that with focus, I can open myself up even more to the space around me. Me worries suddenly get smaller as I grow outward into my space

Expansion
I could use imagery to think about my consciousness. It was so vast, like a cloud expanding from my crown chakra. Really feeling like I'm back on track.💜

That one was odd. It was going well until he told me to think about the spaciousness of awareness. What does that mean?
R
Ron
Spacing out...
Agree with Elisabeth - this one was rather odd. The only awareness of space or spaciousness is that we are very small in such a vast universe..... Psalm 103:14-16 14 For He knows we are but dust 15 and that our days are few and brief, like grass, like flowers, 16 blown by the wind and gone forever. I will meditate on God's word - Joshua 1:8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.

Spacious awareness
I learned that spacious awareness is the space between body and mind. Taking deep cleaning breaths and letting it go calms me and listening to music helps me relax.

Mindfullness
Mindfulness is an important trait that I didn't even know about until now. This was very enlightening

Spacious Awareness
Space is all around us and in us, it is finite and infinite. Finding those spaces between breaths can bring us harmony, peace and calm with mind and body. Awareness of the sounds, sights and smells that are carried through space; the sound is the trees, traffic , hum of the refrigerator etc, looking at Venus, Mars and Mercury all perfectly lined up and best of all the sound of quiet between breaths on this beautiful clear morning. Have an awesome day every one.

Spaciousness of awareness
The phrase "spaciousness of awareness" was used today. I've never heard that phrase before. I look forward to exploring that idea more.

Very lifting
My day was relaxed. After this meditation I felt lifted yet calm and relaxed. I'm very pleased.

Spatial Awareness
Is a very real thing. My consciousness gets to use this body to move around - how amazing is that!?!? It's so obvious throughout the day, people who are mindful of spatial awareness and people who are not - they bump into us without acknowledgement, they drive dangerously past us. All we can do is mind our own space. The space "contained within." We are indeed containers. We get to choose: containers of what? Of light? Of love? Of awareness? How do we respond to others who appear as containers of detriment?

1st Meditation
Sounds and things around me really are matter that we pass by everyday life. Little things come unnoticed, like the way the trees blow in the wind making a soothing rustle. Or how the birds chirp for their morning songs.

Time For Yourself
Going out with yourself is not the problem but worrying the things that should be done is. It's okay if I'm alone just as long as I get things done as soon as possible.

So Relaxing
I chose this session not because I feel mental stress but because I feel physical stress. Still, stress is stress no matter what kind it is. And, I can say, that I feel much better and more relaxed. This spacious awareness and breathing session helped relax my whole body and reduced my pain. Thanks Aura 🌻🌞🌻

Appreciate the space
There's so much space around us open space, quiet or noisy and it's just something to acknowledge and appreciate because that's space for us to fill in our lives with love and other components of life to make us happy and at peace with ourselves.

Breathing and awareness
Babe more meditating I do, the more I realize how much breathing plays a part in focusing the mind. My awareness of my breathing is improving and I’m not straying to other thoughts as much.

I LOVE THIS MEDITATION!!!! What a great way to start a day!!! I guess I’ve been viewing everything around me from a compressed type of box. Made up of ALL the NEGATIVE ENERGIES that go on around us each day! News,social media, different people who cross your path each day....can build up so much negative negative energy! It’s wonderful being able to shed that from our mind and body with this meditation!! I was also able to recognize and understand just how BIG life and the world really are by giving back the much needed peace and energy that I was missing for so long!! Thank you! Happy Holidays!

Recognize space
I was able to listen and hear was was going on all around without needing to identify the noise. It is mindful to let go of the need to identify everything you become cognizant of.

Learning to keep peace
Becoming aware of the space and sounds around me, distracted me from the stress. Focusing on the smallest things in life let me breathe calmly because of the relaxing surroundings I’m in.

Spaciousness. I need this. I have landed myself in the hospital and now on oxygen, pneumonia, asthma, c-diff (from all the antibiotics) and a blazing migraine. I am contagious here and my house has to be bleached now. My uncle is supposed to be leaving tomorrow on the train (I think a day extension will have to be arranged). I feel all used up and all I can do is sit up and I keep crying. I hear as much as my clogged ears will let me all around me (it’s pretty quiet and lonely). Thank you, Aura for this opportunity! Have a nice day Everyone!😀

I learned that I can imagine thoughts dancing around my head, I can observe them without them taking up so much headspace. They can float away more easily that way.

Difficult
I thought it was difficult to ignore the sounds and not label them, I prefer to focus on the breathing as I find it more consuming

The gift of space.
It's funny how the more space we can create for ourselves the easier it is to breathe (mindfully and deeply).

It was hard for me to think of the space in my body and trying not to label sounds since that is what the brain naturally does.

It is a little bit peaceful to become aware of the space within and around you. Not to label anything but just be for a bit.

Spaciousness
I always enjoy surveying the space around me, as well as within me. You learn learn a lot by staying in tune to your environment. I try to catch myself when my mind wanders, take note of what it wanders to, and continue on with my meditation. It’s like a little check in with your body.

Release
I learned that i can let go of stressful thoughts and allow myself to explore the positive and good things happening in my life. It taught me to release the pain and enjoy the beautiful thoughts a Goddess should have. It made me feel amazing.

Being in the moment
The sounds coming and going around me are something I haven’t focused on in such a long time. I love to hear the birds sing. I learned that breathing and being aware in the moment releases stress and brings peace.
M
Milton
Spaciousness
By feeling and realizing the space o have in my body, it made me feel closer to myself and more alive in my body. Although there is space, it is still held together. It is still whole and one body. That’s how people should be. We might have space and disagreement but we are still whole. We are still one body of people.

I learned to let go and breathe and listen to my body!
Learned to breathe and let go and trust my body. It’s a lot in today’s world with Trump as president who is trying to take everything away from women especially. It makes me very sad and horrified to be represented by him as a world leader.

It is was good to be reminded not to label or judge...but simply be aware of what is going on inside and outside of my body. Hopefully, this will help ease the stress that results from physical pain.
