    Did you know that research shows we’re happier when we’re focused?!
    Do you ever struggle to focus? If so you’re not alone! Life is so full of distractions - and the more we’re exposed to distractions - the more distractible we become. Repeated distractions actually change our brain.
    Stress and isolation also change the way our brain functions, making us more distractible, a side effect of the pandemic.
    Most breathing meditations help to strengthen your focus and this meditation is especially focused on focus! Focus is important for any type of meditation.
    Deep relaxation + deep focus = deep meditation.
    Strengthening focus can take some regular practice, but it’s well worth the time and your brain will thank you for it! It’s one of the reasons we’re happier with a consistent meditation practice. Check the description box above for extra tips to helps you strengthen your focus.
    I hope you enjoy this one and I hope you’re all safe and well xx

    It would be so wonderful if you could release more 20 minute meditations, that is the time I spend in meditation daily and I would genuinely love to have more of your work in my regular practice. You have such a safe and calming voice and I appreciate your guidance. I am a counselor and I use one of your meditations as part of the process I take people through to break out of a panic attack. You have unknowingly helped some people who really needed it at the time.

      Hi Wesley, I'm so glad to hear the meditations are part of your regular practice and that's wonderful that you use them the help people break out of a panic attack, it makes me so happy to know that, thank you for letting me know. I'm sure you bring a lot of support and comfort to people. I will certainly upload some more 20 minute practices in the new year.

    Out of all your videos, this had got to be the best one so far. I really liked the idea of spiritual mist filling up our bodies, the mist coming from life giving earth itself. I also imagined that every time I breathed, the mist unlocked a chakra. Usually this requires fully focusing on the respective part of body all by your self but knowing the mist is there to help you everytime you breathe in is really comforting. Thank you so much!

    • @carolinemccready
      @carolinemccready  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm so glad you enjoyed it Konark. That's a beautiful way to use the meditation. It would be a beautiful way to do the Earth Journey meditation as well (th-cam.com/video/1nPCTXAxBVo/w-d-xo.html) which works with the elements, Sun (fire), water, air and earth. If you haven't done the meditation before I think you'd really connect with it :)

      I have a few CDs and MP3s on Amazon/itunes (links from my website, www.carolinemccready.com). I've made all of the meditations available on TH-cam, so you'll find all the tracks on this channel, but I'll be putting more up in the new year. If there's anything you have found especially helpful, let me know. It's always helpful for me to know what's working!

    So helpful- this mediation has really helped me focus inward in a way that I’ve never been able to achieve before. My mind is constantly going, both onstage and in general- it’s so helpful to be able to now be able to fully unplug.

    My favorite meditation channel. I love love love the variety of options; various time lengths depending on how much time I have, some with nature sounds, some partial, some without. Caroline your work is needed now more than ever in this crazy world. You are truly a beautiful person both inside and out. Keep up thinking of new meditations!

    I noticed most of the videos are from a year ago. TH-cam algorithms brought them to my attention. I enjoyed 3 of them up to now. I also visited Caroline's website. To my pleasure I discovered that quite a few of these meditations are available on CD. I downloaded one of them (Bone deep sleep) already, so I can listen and meditate with the wifi off.

    This is just amazing Meditation every time I use it I get an image of a lotus blossom fixed in my mind Is this ok or should I just fixate away from this image to the breathing only? Many thanks for all you do Caroline !

    • @carolinemccready
      @carolinemccready  ปีที่แล้ว

      That's great Michael! Focussing on an image of a lotus blossom is a feature of quite a few Buddhist meditations. The lotus in buddhist philosophy is a symbol of awakening and there is extra symbolism associated with different colours and different parts of the body. It's great that your mind is tuning into that practice organically and I would definitely recommend staying with it :)

  • @cadenceandfamily2159
    @cadenceandfamily2159 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Not having militants in my house that I worked for and built would be a start! Drug addicts where more behaved than these sober politicians. The only issues with them is that stay sober and taking care of my health would be a challenge in a completely different way! When is enough enough? Using excuses such as Birthdays and gifts are ways to infiltrate others lifes? People are cruel! Grow a pair of balls and help us keep the peace! We have the answers! Why should we get sick from providing kindness? Dosen't make sence!

    Caroline. When you experience deep states of meditation, do you feel a sense of detachment to your body? I just felt this during this meditation, but my mind did wander and I brought back to the breathe.
