White-Browed Babbler in the Morning: an Attention Restoration Meditation

Additive

Being here with screws in my screen my tongue burned and Android in

Bird song

I love anything with sounds of nature. I found myself fascinated by all the different birds I heard. Not sure where on earth this location is but it was cool. Would love to actually be in that location to hear them in person.

Nature

This really helped me apply techniques that I’ve learned so far and listening to specific noises from nature allowed me to sort of zone out and focus on Breathing.

What a morning

I suffer BPD while living with people who just don’t get it and these people are my family.. I don’t know who to turn to as outside this house I honestly have no friends or family. I’m the black sheep and the only person I had has passed and I really do feel alone. The only time I do get some relief is when I’m mediating so thank you Aura

Take a moment to listen

It’s nice to meditate to the sounds of nature. This is a really good one.

Bird sounds

I kind of prefer a guided meditation but the nature sounds were relaxing.

Bird sounds 😍 attention restoration

I love this meditation, it helped me relax and release some anxiety and stress.

Simple thoughts

When the dawn of simplicity comes in life, complications leave.

Time

Everything has it’s time and meaning. So I can be part of it.

Nature

Unfortunately this track jumped to the end and I missed most of it.

Nature

Very peaceful to imagine being surrounded by nature. This was able to give me an escape from daily life.

Sounds of Nature is a parallel to Inner Body

Listening to nature called me to know more how to pause and breathe in love of all things nature and exhale all things not of love. That’s what I saw as I was listening for three minutes. Love this app thank you for being here for people like me.

External Environment

Natures purest ideation of love and life has derived from what is iterated as mindulness

Birds trigger my anxiety for some reason

This meditation might be good for other people but bird noises make me irritated, so I kinda got a little anxious. But that’s just me, pretty sure people who don’t have that problem will enjoy this one.

Winter wonderland

Nature sounds Ina winter wonderland. Need to get the bird feeder out to hear the birds.

Peace

To find the peace in the sounds of nature to center my soul.

Patience and Focus on the Present

“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” - Lao Tzu

What I learned today..

I learned that it’s important to have a peace of mind. I also learned that it’s important to let go of the past and forgive and forget.

Soothing sounds

I practiced counting breaths with this and found the sound accompaniment a delightful focus, and a respite from the blustery winter outside.

Miracle Monday 1-8-18

This was a really nice meditation to reflect and decompress to. Last night and this morning has been a little difficult for me. I put my uncle on the train, however his train was 7hrs delayed and it takes 3hrs to get to the train station and my uncle became very difficult to handle. He was mean, started to get loud and drunk and out of line. Then my friend who drove became upset and got out of line and I got so frustrated. We end d up getting a room and driving back at in the dark this morning just so my friend could go to work. It’s done, it’s over, It’s bittersweet. I’m sad, but I’m still upset. Then I get home and see he left some stuff. Grrr! I can rest now. I still am so sick. Thank you, Aura! Have a nice day, Everyone!

Birds

While I could quiet my mind a bit the bird thing is not for me.

Babbler

When you calm down and actually pay attention to the sounds around you experience and feel peace with naturalness.

Never give up

When I am clear and focused I’m able to remember that I’m strong and can do anything. I have to remember this through stressful haze sometimes. Meditation helps me re-center and lower my stress

Stillness

I learn that taking time in the morning before the rush of the day starts helps focus me and remind me that I am in control!

Persevere

Even when I “fall off the meditation wagon” I can still get back on and start again.

Rest

Taking time -only few minutes- has a great meaning. I am happy to use this meditation today. A great end of a great day.

Good

I’m still learning the stress can lead to other harmful things Nd I’m also learning to take some time out the day to just breathe Nd relax I really do Love this app wish I found out bout it like 2yrs ago but I’m loving every minute of it

So soothing

I am incredibly responsive to the soothing tones of layered bird voices and at the same time my listening is more focused and alert. Altogether my brain waves slow and the internal chatter subsides. 🙏

Listening...

I was patiently waiting for her to say something ... and then just started listening to all the different birds. I could hear layers of them in like multi-dimensional Rhythms. Next thing I know here comes the piano tune.!? Guess that’s what I learned - living in the now just requires us to pay attention to what is happening, right now (without thinking or analyzing or expecting) !!

Birds

The sounds of nature and birds always calms me down. Love this

Chronological Order

I learned that Aura’s comment system is not in chronological order

Transported

I was transported to a forest, I was curled on the floor as time progressed I grew, tangled hair grew into branches, nesting there were the birds. Skittering from branch to branch, greeting a new day, the sang to me and the world. Welcome the said welcome to a new day, new choices, new life.

Calm.

It actually surprised me, that taking the time to really listen to the sounds of nature was very calming. 😯

White-Browed Babler

Simplicity and the sounds of nature are soothing to me. Such a nice break from the noise of a bustling world.🙏🏻

This is one of my favorite meditations. Song birds are soothing and restoring...

I need to connect with what makes me happy and be aware of negativity.

Mixed

At first this was great, soothing and peaceful and as the three minutes kept going it just became annoying

White browed babbler

That bird makes a lovely noise. There are no birds making lively noises in my neck of the woods but I wish there were.

Soothing and freshening

Took me somewhere peaceful and beautiful.. where there is no stress about work or the loud city noises.. i merged with nature.. this is beautiful.

Taking nature for granted

Good nature sounds meditation yesterday, then I also got close to some wild geese while walking in the morning and noontime yesterday that I appreciated, then already with today’s 2nd nature sounds practice In a row I was already catching myself taking Nature for granted and following my wandering mind. How easy it is to take the wonder and beauty we have around us for granted. My intention for my progress is I to keep my awe fresh. 🙏

Nature soothes

Being in, and listening to nature, is like a reset button for your mind. When you’re running on empty from all the stresses of everyday life, nature is the only fuel you can truly fill up on. It forces you to refocus your attention and realize how truly amazing this life really is. Nothing is better and bringing it into focus that it’s time to slow your roll. 😉

Home

That meditation reminded me of home. It was one of my favorites.

Bird sound like a vibrating bird

One of the bird calls was at the same frequency and sound as a vibrating phone. The first time I heard it I thought I hadn't turned off an alarm or someone was calling me. The second time I realised it was the bird. So I struggled to let go and be. I allowed myself to be distracted. I like bird song but not sure I'll listen to this one again.

White-Browed Babbler

I loved this meditation! I loved the simplicity of just listening, no directions, except to simply be! It was wonderful, relaxing, peaceful and energizing. It took me back to earlier times when I would begin my morning quietly sitting on my deck and listening to nature. The only downside to this meditation is that now I cannot wait until warmer weather so I can begin and end my day sitting outside and listening. Thank you for this!

Connection to nature

I loved this meditation. The simplicity of soothing nature sounds not only calmed my mind, but reminded me that we are so connected on this earth and all serve a purpose. Each and every bird, frog, monkey, and fish in nature serves its purpose. Even given their differences in sounds, looks, and movement- each is here just as it was intended to be. Much like each of us are here uniquely, serving our purpose through existence and love to add to the beautiful collection of the world. Thank you 🙏🏻

Feelings of blah..

I feel like a small weight is off of me... just a bit relived with Gods grace

early bird gets the...

peace and quiet to just breathe deeply slowly ‘till your eyes water and your nose drains release listen laugh

Regaining focus

My mind wandered some but I brought it back by imagining the birds singing..

Help

Maybe pleasing people and trying to get people to like you isn’t what life is all about

Nature

I felt at peace . Just listening to the birds . Could imagine myself there .

Free

I felt like I was sitting on a rock in the middle of a rainforest connecting with all the sounds around me. It was beautiful.

So much life

It was nice to reflect on nature. The realization that there all these lives being experienced. Humans, birds, monkeys, fish, bugs, all the way down to the smallest organisms, all living. I cant wait to take my family outside to hear these sounds that represent a life. It’s been a long winter. Time to get outdoors!

La vida

Aprendí que puedes encontrar felicidad cuando menos lo esperas la felicidad está dentro de uno a donde sea que uno vaya o donde sea que uno esté

Rainbow

The day after Bajabulile’s funeral we experienced a magnificent rainbow and we felt she was at peace and smiling

Tender

Really nice to just hear birds chirping. That felt really tender and sweet.

It’s just nice...

To listen to birds in nature. Despite the variety and sibilance of the chirps, all in all it’s very soothing.

Morning Birds ☀️

I imagine this dreamy soundscape of birds in a forest would the perfect start to the day. Soothing and almost hypnotic, yet forcing you into opening up to what lies ahead in the day.

Teeming with life

It sounded like busy neighborhood chaos when I first started listening, then I settled in to picking out the different bird calls and wondering what each was up to, then back again to the whole, the sound of coexistence. Namaste

Peaceful time in the woods

I felt as if I were sitting comfortably in the woods and could see the trees around me while listening to the birds. I was able to relax and catch my breath!

Really good

The sound of the nature is the best for relaxing, what else for a good day

Deep within

At the beginning it was difficult to let go of my thoughts but once I was able to let go, I fell deeply into a blissful state of relaxation and meditation. Before I knew it I heard the session coming to a close and found myself wishing it were longer.

I’m enough for myself

I’m enough for myself, for my family, and for the people around me. I deserve love and compassion for I am whole

Nature Break

I found that an unguided meditation is challenging for me as I am still working on keeping my mind focused. I was constantly having to bring myself back to simply listening as my mind jumped from to-do lists, grocery shopping, how to meditate, the movie I saw over the weekend and more! I have realized that for now I need to use guided meditations to help me focus. However, the sounds were wonderful and relaxing.

Nature Sounds

Listening to the sounds of nature, in this case, the White-Browed Babbler, is a wonderful way to begin your day! The soothing sounds of this bird puts you in the present moment allowing for your mind and body to be calm and at peace. 🙏🏻❤️😊

Letting my mind wander

I learned that sometimes it’s OK to just let my mind play with visualizations to create settings for the “soundscape “ provided. The only time that I exerted any control was when my mind wanted to move outside of the soundscape. Even though I never decided on the perfect setting, I still was calmer, happier, and more relaxed afterwards. Yum 😋

Pre-dawn

A great few minutes, to just be still and listen to nature (and pet the cat- she also enjoyed all the birds chirping!). I’d like to suggest a similar practice, listening to a crackling campfire. Namaste

White browed babbler

This was a good morning exercise and meditation to start off the day.

White Browed Babbler

What a peaceful start to my day. My heart was so full listening to the beautiful bird song. Remember to embrace the day and sing.

Soothing

Listening to the sounds of nature is very soothing. I'm ready to take on the rest of my day.

Absolutely delicious and relaxing. Brought me back to my time in Australia Carnes.

We choose to tune into happiness anytime we desire. It’s a choice, not the environment or others.

Dreamy...

I found myself looking at a foggy, mist covered pond like thing at dawn. Could not see very well, but could hear all these birds calling. I shut my eyes to listen to their various songs and as I opened my eyes, the sun peaked over the horizon and the fog became an bright orange iridescence glow with birds darting across & through it. Made me think I was looking at an intensely close up view of an atom with the birds acing like electrons circling around the nucleus... could not really see them in detail, just fleeting glimpses. Very surreal but soothing! ❤️⚛️🍀

BLAH-BLAH

Finally! A meditation with virtually NO talking. You receive so much when nature shares its wonders. ❤️🙏☮️

Soothing

The sounds of nature are calming and peaceful. During this session I visualized myself sitting outside in my backyard on a Spring morning enjoying a cup of coffee. I am listening to the birds, feeling the warm sun on my skin, and breathing in the fresh air. Peaceful way to begin the day.

Stroll by the lake

I pictured myself simply taking a stroll by the lake, listening to the birds, and admiring the beauty around me. What a blessing it is to be alive in such a beautiful world!❤️

Relaxed

To just sit and breath and relax. When we can’t be out in nature in person this is the best substitute. Happiness in the cheerful song of nature

Once again, grateful

I am so so grateful for this app and all the creators out there that make these mindfulness segments. Tending to my mind and soul each day helps me see more clearly. So thank you. 🌱🔜🌳

Wordless

I found it very helpful that this meditation was practically wordless but invited the listener to relax all the same.

Nature is very grounding

I really enjoyed just the sounds of the water and the birds...it gave me a sense of peace.

Calm

I found this meditation practice to be so helpful. I allowed me to practice my breathing while thinking about a jungle/forest. I continued to listen to the nature sounds once the practice was done and it was amazing. I really enjoyed this practice.

Not my style but it may be for others

When I realized this would be an unguided meditation, I preconceived that this meditation would be useless, that I would open my eyes and feel just as tired as I did before. However, I slowly relaxed into this new style of meditation. Although I didn’t enjoy this meditation as much as guided ones, others who enjoy minimal guidance would.

I miss nature

I need more of this my alone time just looking and searching for nothing really inside a forest or just siting by the oceans watching the waves I miss all this, through this I believe can I find myself back again thank you so much for this lovely session this morning 😊. Love you

Sounds of Nature

I always find the sounds of nature to be very calming and peaceful. Nature is a beautiful thing and we as humans need to start taking time to appreciate it

Nature

I learned that I have a hard time focusing just solely listening to nature sounds. While I generally like it, I couldn't focus in on it.

White Browed Babbler

What a peaceful way to begin the day, I felt and saw myself among the beautiful birds in the forest.

I felt alerted

I learned that my mind wandered to places I wished to go and that all thoughts were temporary.

Soothing

W What a wonderful way to start the day. Space I felt that listening to the song of the birds made it easier to notice when my mind was starting to wander and easier to bring it back to the soothing sound of the birds. A lovely experience.

Spiders

Full of health. Nothing to fear. God is in control. He guided me. Closed my eyes and made me walk without site. He wants me to surrender fully to his will. As I did, I felt tremendous peace. This is what I dreamed of. Or imagined. But better. Because he’s amazing beyond understanding.

I love meditations because they calm me down

I love meditations because they calm me down and relax me and I feel like I’m seriously relaxed and stress free and I’m getting really excited about the fact that I’m used to this meditation because I’m loving my meditations and god’s peace is with me god’s watching over me he doesn’t like ugly and I just feel like I’m relaxed during the meditations and I feel like I’m stressed free that’s why I love the meditations

Morning

This is one of my favorites. I am so happy it popped up this morning to fill me with joy

Birds transforrming mind-chatter

The mind-chatter diffuses into hearing the bird chatter. I am free of the whack-a-mole sort of suppression of thoughts for a bit. I especially appreciate minutes of absence of human made music which gets redundant. Please keep letting bird song stand on its own!
