Meditation for Serenity 2021-2024! (tips, tricks & discussion/ 3 years running woot!)

Got insight timer just now. Nice to have a new phone with room to install apps. Installed it @Dazercat and @Its_me_Stella because I read about the mantra challenge and I’m in. Did five silent meditation minutes to break in the app. First time in, feels like ever, that I did a silent medi. Been mediating without timing it using you tube nature sounds. Hoping this app and getting active on this thread will help motivate me to work my step 11 and also to just be healthier. :pray:

Yay welcome back my friend you are an OG on this thread!!! Excited to do this mantra challenge. I have been doing them recently and the vibration they create in my heart and throat chakra are amazing. It feels so good.

It was pretty darn good. Made it a few minutes into the meditation and down I went.

Edit. Going to try and not fall asleep during tonights medi but its almost bedtime, its gonna be hard.
Also, I have a question. I set some alerts on my phones calendar for groups, meetings, doctors appointments and they aren’t working , no alerts/alarms popping up, same as the insight timer app alerts/alarm aren’t working. Thoughts? Tips? Suggestions?

Slept pretty darn good. Stayed awake for a 17 min. guided gratitude mediatation. Little later put on a sleep meditation in bed and was out. About to find one that will hopefully fit my morning :pray:

I saw that one this morning. I was searching for “morning pick me up” and choose this one. Maybe check that one out tomorrow. I love the search on the Insight Timer. Just plug in what your thinking or feeling, if you’re not sure what you want.

Just did roughly 7 mins of angel choir in the background meditation and gave up. Switched to silent mode and gave up even quicker. Feel a litlle better even though my mind was racing alot and I was unable to let the thoughts pass, out of “practice” i gues. I will try again later or tomorrow.
Namastae :pray:

My first time.
Thanks Twinnie :kissing_heart:
Even though I woke up feeling crap and a headache I did it. :pray:t2::pray:t2::pray:t2: spiritually I feel better. I can’t wait to try it again this afternoon when I’m feeling better. The music and mantra and teacher were beautiful.

Hi Juls :pray:t2:
Just curious :thinking:
Are you doing this because Stella recommended, or should I say challenged us a few weeks ago to do this? Or did you stumble across this on your own and it’s a coincidence.
This was my first time. I loved it.

Hi Eric,

Insight timer recommended this programm to me a week ago and I was interested as I have good experience with mantra mediation. :two_hearts:

Happy you loved it… So you might do the whole programm with me :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiley::pray:t2::woman_in_lotus_position:t2::man_in_lotus_position:t2:

I will remind you here :hugs:

Oh definitely. There’s a few of us that said we’d do it. Stella brought it up a few weeks ago. I think it is cool you popped on here and didn’t know a few of us are doing it.
I got no experience at all with mantra meditation. I just loved the first one. Nice gentle way to start for me.
:pray:t2:

Somehow the Mantra Gods reminded me this morning on my iPad. It was the first thing I saw.
