I also found this meditation to be powerful for me. My addictions sprang from fear. Intense childhood fear starting at age 5. I have overcome much of it by stopping my addictive behaviours and addressing my c-ptsd in therapy, successfully. Yay emdr! Dana because I like Annemaree’s meditations I also decided to take this course. Listened to chapter 3 earlier (at the beach,great place for it). It was on acceptance. I have followed your story. You are amazing my friend!

I did a walking meditation listening to that mantra. Have you tried walking meditation? I am trying to be mindful in all my actions. I started to eat mindfully. Instead of sitting in front of the big screen on my couch,I sit at the table in silence. Anyway,I digress. I am loving Annemaree Rowley. This one has lovely chanting throughout in the background. It really brought me into the moment. P.S. Blake is understandable now. Last night on a video chat we sang a song together. Grampaness=unconditional love. Be well Eric.

I have been doing lots of walking Mantras. But not necessarily meditations. Gonna try this one now with the lovely chanting throughout the background.

This was good.
I do wish when they do that the chanting as a bit louder. I got one called Hope like that. Wish the chant was louder. Thanks.

I dont know about you guys but somedays I am on that app allllll day just trying to make it through. I was looking at my stats and the most meditations I have done in a day is 15. Yeah, somedays are hard.
Walking meditations are a beautiful way of connecting, they are one of the first type of meditations I did. Movement helped me stay mindful, anything that can grab ahold of one of my senses is helpful for me and my adhd brain. When I did walking meditations I would go so slowly and literally try to feel every bone as it touched the earth, every muscle as it tensed and relaxed, every joint as it moved. We have a beautiful back wooded area so that is where I would practice those meditations, I am sure I looked strange.
Congrats on your 100th day on the app Billy.
And Eric, the chanting will get louder if you raise your voice.

You put so much into your recovery Stella. It’s incredibly inspiring. I fell into a healthy pattern,for me. Morning,afternoon and sundown(ish). Occasionally one or two more. Refuge Recovery meetings begin with a 20 minute guided meditation. This is the second morning I have used the timer and sat w/o guidance. It went well. I fell right into loving/kindness and 20 minutes went by before I knew it. I’m so grateful we are journeying together with Eric and Julia and Dana et al. I’m off to Robinson Preserve for a morning hike and walking meditation. Namaste

Anyone fancy signing up for this one with me? I’m such a negative nancy sometimes, this might be what I need to get… less negative.

That looks to be a positive experience, no pun intended. I’m in the midst of a 20 part course Paving Your Pathway to Peace. I have 14 lessons left as I listen to one-a-day,I am not good at math but that’s 2 weeks. Let us know how you like it,please Amy. This one was “made for me” and it was a perfect start to a perfect day.

Oh I like him. Maybe check that one out.
I thought this appropriate for me today.
All signs point to surrender.
How many times does one have to surrender.
Til we’re dead and have no more feelings. Just saying.

So I did it last night before bed. For a few minutes I saw endless waves of yellow. And then it put me Right out 
Thought I’d start my day with it this morning and it was lovely. It’s an interesting chant. Kind of ends on a high note. I felt like I was floating. No yellow. Then it finished up with Alice tucked under my chin 
I was in my recliner and I couldn’t move. And it brought me down gently.
