Being aware of the sensations in my body can take my mind off of a bad mood. Even just for a slight moment.

I learned that when your stressed, take a few minutes and meditate for yourself and get back on track. My pups were active, they are now relaxed as so am I. I didn’t need to lay down but to lay back and close my brain and focus on the inner self. Thank you Aura!

Body awareness

It is so nice to feel every part of your body relax and let go. By the end, you feel like you are floating. We never notice how much tension we hold in our face and all our muscles until we actively see hunk in them and relax them. This creates a total sense of calm. It feels amazing!

Breath & Body Awareness

This was a really good mindful experience but I should have picked a better time. There was way too much noisy traffic on the street because it’s lunch hour. I can usually block out noise but this was really bad! Still I focused on every word, breath and sensation. I will try this on my own right before I go to work. 🌻 Hopefully a better time!

therapy by being in the present

Just being present for every moment takes away the most common form of anxiety for me, which is anxiety of the future and what i should or have to do.

Tammy

Body scan

Great way to get to know your body better. Paying specific attention to each part and how it feels and then having gratitude for each part of your body and finally your body as a whole. Our body is a gift.

Ron

Awareness of body

Even when feeling good. Taking time to clear the mind for awareness of body can be helpful to relax

Kathleen

The body scan

I learned that it’s okay for your mind to wander while you connect your mind to your body.

Aliya

Relaxed

I learned that sometimes taking a break to let your mind relax is the best thing one can do for themselves.

Sheila

I had a harder time staying focused on this one. 3 minutes may have been too short for me for this style.

i really love the body scans before bed. such a good way to unwind.

Clare

Body scan

Lovely to do this lying down after a tough day and some difficult conversations. Feeling the sensations without judgement really worked.

Joseph

Lying down is key

Laying down during this meditation made a big difference. No muscles needed to sit up straight and no fear of poor posture.

Jeannine

How easy it is to focus on the sensations in different parts of my body. As I practiced this I felt

I felt my body relax more. Perhaps getting out of my thinking brain is what brought more of the feeling of peace.

Taylor

Body Awareness

A great way to focus on your body and each movement or sensation when relaxed. Overall gives you a calming, focused meditation.

Karen

Mindfulness

I learned to become more aware of my body, to take time for myself.

Samantha

The Body Scan

This meditation was really helpful. It’s important to frequently check in with your body, something I rarely remember to do. I liked having a short and direct focus on each body part. This helped my mind from wandering. A lot of meditations where the only focus is the breath, I end up having to redirect my focus the whole time. This made meditating much easier.

Harvey

Body Scanning

This is a technique that I personally find most useful in dealing with my anxiousness .

Hele kroppen

Jeg lærte at når jeg fokusere på en og en kroppsdel vil de bli lettere å slappe av i hele kroppen,

There are many different sensations in the body that you don’t realise in everyday life

Hi! I just noticed a slight panic attack sparked when I thought of that class.

My heart went back to its normal pace. How can I do that without this app?

Reconnecting with your body

Hi All, as a mindfulness teacher the first practice I always teach is the body scan. It begins the process of reintegrating your mind and body. Cultivating awareness of the body allows you to shift your attention away from all those thoughts wizzing round in the head. I encourage participants to leave behind any preconceptions they may have about what they ‘should’ feel and simply observe what they find. ☺️ Enjoy the practice , take an adventure into your body today! Let me know how you get on ❤️

Erica

Practice

This is an important practice. I was thinking while I went through the scan and realized that many of my thoughts were not objective. They had (mild) judgements or criticisms attached to them- not necessarily bad ones, but I wonder if there isn't a way to move through this in a more neutral space regarding my body with kindness. For example- "thighs- oh my thighs are strong" or "ok neck- my neck really shouldn't be in this position i should stretch and change now." I will do a little research into objective thinking. It might be helpful in creating a more neutral space within my mind.

Muffins

Slow scan Felt more relaxed

The slow body scan worked for me. The calm and simple and slow scan. Nice! Restful.

Letizia

Still stressed

I’m not improving in the decrease of stress. Need holidays. Stop.

Steps

Tiny steps. Breath. Noticing the body. Being. Closing and opening the eyes. Tiny steps towards awareness.

Jen

First mediation

I was able to focus on my body and the way each part felt. It made me become aware of the pain I was feeling and was able acknowledge it. This helped me relax parts of me that were feeling pain.

First Meditation

I started out neutral and indifferent, yet more of a bored and uninterested way. But after my first meditation, I feel calm and relaxed. Still neutral, but at a temporary peace.

Gary

Body scan

I missed session. Pulled away by interruption just as session began. My bad.

Susie

Body Scan

I am always surprised at the locations of body tension...sometimes in areas, like my face, where I least expect it.

Kristina

I felt the soothing sensation of simplifying my thought and focusing on my breath and body.

Eli

It felt like I was an inter dimensional being from which my mind and body operated on a fourth dimensional plane
