Rise an shine🤙🏽

The three C's for me:Cool calm an collective truly blessed 👍🏽

So much tension!

I love the short meditations but I wish this one was twice as long- I'd need the extra time to really relax my face!

Soften yourself

I didn't realize how tight I was until was told to soften my face, my eyes, my jaw. So relaxing and peaceful

Jaw melts away

As I let my jaw melt away, it simply made everything around my mouth less tense. I hadn't realized that my jaw was so tense before this.

Release the Tension

I now know that I am able to relax and release some of the tension, lessening my anxiety just enough to go about my day normally.

Tension

Relaxing my face of tension so I can sleep. I sleep for my body, mind, and soul. I love my body.

Where my anxiety lies...

Even though this was a good exercise, my anxiety lies in my chest and extends to my gut/stomach. I don't really experience much tension in my face but I figured I'd give this a try. Not sure it really helped since I still feel anxiety in my body.

Relaxing the facial muscles...

I learned that this type of meditation is very usual for dealing with how stress manifests in my body. I sometime clench my teeth unconsciously so it was nice to give my body a break and to have a practice to go back to in the future.

Releasing

Stress can be an issue for people's everyday lives. This is why every once and a while you need time to relax, and let go of all that stress and anxiety that the day has brought you. "Stress Release" by the "Sleep, Relax and Recharge" channel, is perfect for just that! If you are ever stressed out, listen to this recording and you will eventually overcome your struggles, and any other problems.

Stress

Does creep into my face and I don't know it! Now I'm more aware.

Before bed

I cannot be comfortable or relaxed when I'm hungry. I had dinner at 6, now that it's almost 11, I haven't eaten for 6 hours.

Serious face

I pride myself in my poker face not understanding that I have been hold most of my tension there. This meditation made me realize that i am holding too much tension in my face. Time to relax my face and smile more.

tension

I learned that we hold lots of tension in our face and throughout the day, we need to release this tension.

Ease away, crease away

If we learn how to relax the muscles in our own face, I think it’s much easier to smile

Letting Go And Forgive

I learned that Holding On To Past Thoughts Not only effect You In Everyday Life, It Can Really Stress You Out. Letting Go & Forgiving The Thing Or Person Will Put You At A Lot Of Ease And Will Give You Peace Within Your Inner Self.

People All Over the World are Good

Traveling a lot, I see the common humanity in us all, far and wide. I see the goodness and generosity in people. Their acts of kindness resonate with me. The joy in eating good food, laughing and enjoying nature are things that make us all happy. I am grateful!!

I am sleepy

I should take time out of my day to relax and enjoy myself! I feel very tired now

Creating conditions

Hard to meditate when you are dealing with kiddies in the morning. Strange how as a mom 3 minutes to yourself on the morning seems impossible some days.

I learned : One can't share a session. Interestingg that

Two Interesting that my jaw has been tight lately and I've gone back to my mouth guard.

Good first session

I was able to maintain each part of my face relax as a whole, need more practice, specially on jaw.

Relaxation

I just woke up and I I already feel more relax. This help me deal with problems in life and in my house . It is a great feeling

Stress release

An that’s where wrinkles probably come from! Ive been mindful of releasing stress stored in my hips, but never in my face-it makes sense. I’ll keep it in mind as I move through my day. Namaste

Forehead wrinkles

I carry most of my stress in my forehead and between my brows. I can sometimes feel them at end of the day soo tight! Think I might try this at end of work day, before I do commute home and begin the important part of day, evening with my kids. 😁

Difficult

It's hard to even begin to notice the difference between tense and soft facial muscles. They're just there and learning to see more than that is difficult.

Nice

Easy and best way to go to sleep with and waking up feeling great

First meditation

I️ feel that my mind has more power over the wall my body feels than I’ve ever experienced

Ahhh!

I never realize how much tension I hold in my face, especially my jaw. I like this meditation because it helps me focus on the unconscious tension I’m holding. It’s a great feeling to let that go even for a few minutes!

Unknown Tension

I learned I hold tension behind and between my eyes. Soothing to know that by taking the time to notice it exists I can relieve physical and mental exertion that brings discomfort.

Same

The change I tell my kids about is fake like them and the news I turn to gives me nothing not even a good

Overall Calm

I learned that I carry more tension in my eyes than I realized. When I am in deep thought, I’m also visualizing what I’m thinking. I’m focusing all of that energy through my eyes and forehead. This meditation made me aware of this and helped me release that tension. 🙏🏼

Stress release

I feel how I tense my facial muscles. Being directed to this area and mindfully relaxing is great way to ease this tension. Her voice is so relaxing also. Thank you and enjoy your day everyone!

Facial tension

I didn’t realize that I held so much tension around my eyes and my jaw. This was a great exercise to bring awareness and to help ease some of that tension to help bring about a more positive day.

D2

Sometime I find it tough to unwind before bed. I immediately expect my body to switch into relaxation and sleep from an awake and active state . . . and I don’t think that’s fair. This meditation reminds me to start unwinding and unraveling from the days stressor, tasks, and needs.

Complete relaxation

Even though this focused mainly on the face and head, this was a very relaxing meditation for the whole mind, body and spirit. Thanks!

Face

I learned that if you relax your body than your mind will be at ease with it.

Relaxing

I feel really relax & less stress I love being relax & feel less stress & my anxiety level go down

Sunday

I carry tension in my eyes. Have to work on that. It has been telling that several people who have seen me during my medical leave from work note that I look much more relaxed.

Day 1

Stress is commonly shown and felt in the face. I need to relax my face and be more aware.

Tension

Breathing releases so much tension. This exercise was very helpful ❤️

Tension need not persist

Immense ease can uplift your spirit when unnoticed tension is washed away and replaced with tranquil relaxation.

I learnt that we are all always learning

Life is a school where if your not learning you are actually nothing more than a wasted seat inside the auditorium. And this class is hard to get in to. You basically need a permission slip from the source. And we will never pass freshman. Even at the death bed. So everyone good well hunting.

Good end of day release

This was so nice to let go of tension I didn’t even know I had after a long day. felt like I was really able to put it all aside and can sleep better now

Helpful

This helped me sort through some of the issues present in my mind this morning and reminded me to not carry them throughout the day with me/drag me down.

Wacky Wednesday 2-21-18

Stress Relief. I felt like I was exfoliating with this meditation. I could feel each movement through my face as if I were in a deep massage. What a great way to start the day. Thank you, Aura! Have a nice day, Everyone!😀

Relax your Face

I learned that we carry a lot of tension in our face and when you’re trying to sleep relax and recharge important to be aware of the tension in your face and release it I found that just thinking about it naturally sort of released it and then she had us relax our eyesockets, our tongue on our pallet. I think I like this one.

Sleep relax and recharge

I never realized how much tension I held in my face. I was unable to completely relax it and the focus seemed to make it harder in the end. It was a good realization, but I’m not sure what to do about it.

Tension

I gotta let go of the tension I hold up every now and then. It contributes to me stress.

Stressing less

I’ve noticed that i carry a A lot of tension in my jaw. I’m working on relaxing more and learning not to stress small things.

Stress Release

I learned that positive energy is the key to stress. Have happy thoughts and be you

Letting it float away

I allowed the thoughts to drift through my head and out the window. Letting them disintegrate into the air.

Tightness

My face and all the rest of my body is always tight, tense and on edge.

Ahhh I feel little better

I learned that I have lots of tension in my face when I stress. Not to mention I have horrible tooth pain and being 26 weeks pregnant with 3 other boys and helping my grandmother that's had a heart attack along with heart surgery comes with lots of emotional and physical drain. In addition, to me and my family are split up right now (oldest son in school and husband in Vegas while my second oldest and youngest are with me in California) been really tough on us all. Homesick maybe? I decided to just try it will I was in a stressful mood to see if there was a difference and there WAS! I'm so happy to relieve some of my stress. May have to listen to again before I lay down.

Okay

I learned that when I’m in my bed I don’t have too much tension in my face. It’s like all the stress was transferred into everything below my neck.

Couldn’t sleep

At first I couldn’t go to sleep but now I can it rested my mind and help me relax my body and chill

Stress release

I learned that I can feel the stress and respond to softening. A great way to relax and start or finish my day

Belong

I’ve noticed that since I’ve been back, I don’t feel like I belong here anymore. I feel out of place and slightly broken. Almost like a box of crayons a child threw across the room. I’m broken and helpless and there’s no fixing it. I can’t truly trust anyone, not even the ones closest to me and it makes me nervous thinking about seeing certain people again. I’m scared for what’s to come in the future.

Stress Release

I was reminded that I can come back to the breath as a way to ease the tension held in my body, especially the face.

Not my face

I don't tend to show my tension and anxiety in my face, though I went ahead and did the relaxation exercises as prompted by Cassandra. Meanwhile, my right foot just bounced and fidgeted through the whole lesson. Been a SUPER BUSY morning around the house, and I still have one more trip out to move my daughter over to my in-law’s house where she’ll be house/dog sitting for the remainder of the week.

Face

This is not a common area for me to feel tense so this Meditation didn't resonate with me as well as others

Stress Release

I do hold a lot of stress in my face. I clench my teeth and draw my eyebrows together. I was nice to go through each area of the face and to be reminded just to let it go! Why would frowning change anything?

Grinding

I am guilty of grinding my teeth. Often, I don’t realize I can my jaw clenched until I feels sore. I enjoyed doing this meditation first thing in the morning to help myself relax that tension. I also massaged my tense jaw muscles which helped even more!

Jaw tension

I felt recently that I am constantly clinging the jaw. Since then I am trying to relax it. This helps a bit, but gargling and lion face helps as well.

Face tension

I definitely want to be mindful about how much tension I hold in my face and how to release that

Nice one

I could’ve fallen asleep listening to this. Lovely meditation. Thank you.

As goes the face ...

...so goes the body. Nice to just melt and smooth out. Namaste

It was hard to focus on the exercise.

I had a lot of tension in my face. It was helpful to acknowledge this.

Ahhhhh...

Good way to start the day, fresh, without stress debt. Namaste
