Hi Jennilee, thanks for this wonderful meditation! ;-) With a view to the exam period, which is lurking around the corner on Monday , this was a very relaxing intermezzo... :-)
Jennilee26.01.2016

Lovely! Thank you, Jennilee. I so appreciate your response to Erika's question. I have been using a soft ujjayi breath in my meditations, although I didn't realize that's what I was doing. I connected with your guidance that it is easier to focus on the breath when the breath is louder than the thoughts. Very true for me, too!
Jennilee14.02.2016
Helen:)
I am right there with you...I love a soft ujjayi breath to focus my mind on:):):)

Hi Jennilee,
This is the first class I have taken with you and I'm looking forward to joining you for more. Beautiful meditation; I feel lighter :)
A question if you don't mind - After around 15 minutes of sitting (cross legged) I get pins and needles, I try breathing into my hips to increase blood flow further down but the only thing that allows me to sit for longer is if I mindfully straighten my legs for a few minutes, and recross them once the stronger sensations subside. I'm working on opening my hips in asana classes to facilitate. Do you have any other suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
Namaste

Sorry for delay in answering...I was in Guatamala with little internet:)
I do the same thing as you...mindfully uncross and recross my legs:)
It does help if you sit on something (bolster, pillow, blanket) to allow your hips to be higher than your knees...this helps to keep the blood flow happening:)
Also...I am a big fan of some gentle rotations of my joints before I sit and meditate:) Not too much for overstimulation of senses but just enough to awaken my body and remove any agitation before sitting:):):)
Good luck!
Gael21.11.2015
I felt sad and stressed and this was just sooooo nice to hear your voice and to concentrate on my body, many thanks just like vacations gael
Jennilee22.11.2015

That was beautiful Jennilee. I love the thought of "sucking in energy". And I love my new bolster - enabled me to sit comfortably
Jennilee08.01.2017
Vicki:)
Ahhhhhh...i love that you have a new bolster:):):)
Comfortably sitting is such an important part of this :):):)
Happy New Year to you!

It is interesting and beautiful to see how we are drawn to exactly what is needed. Today it was more important to quieten the mind and be with what is rather than stretching the body. While each asana practice is always part meditation the sitting and being still and the going within is the bigger challenge. Thank you for your lovely guidance, Jennilee! x
Jennilee12.10.2016
Merry:)
It is is an honor to be the perfect offering for that part of your day:):):)
Ah...the magic of it all:):):)
Jilly21.11.2015
This was just what I needed. I woke up feeling anxious and my mind was rushing through the plans of the day. I sat down on my cushion and did this breath and body meditation and felt more balanced and at ease. Thanks Jennilee
Jennilee21.11.2015
Jilly!!!
What a treat to see your name:):):)
I am so glad you feel calmer:):):)
Much love and light and peace!
Amber25.11.2015
This is so perfect! I'm finding myself wanting to meditate to it daily!! Thanks Jennilee!
Jennilee12.12.2015
Amber!
YES!!! This is my favorite sitting practice...breathing my body ALIVE!!!
Lorna22.11.2015
Just what I needed. Hearing your voice transported me back to the wonderful dome. Thank You xx
Jennilee22.11.2015
Lorna!:)
Ahhhh..the dome:):):)
I am glad I could help you:):):)
Much love!!!
Erika26.01.2016
This meditation was really interesting. I loved the puffing up which made me think of big fat wood pigeons fluffing up against the cold. I was intrigued by the use of ujjayi breath throughout. I suffer from intrusive thoughts and obsessions and have been practicing different types of pranayama for 5/10 mins before simple breath meditation for a few months but can't seem to concentrate for long with natural breath. I find it easier to focus with ujjayi - but - I thought I wasn't 'allowed' to do a mediation using pranayama because the mindfulness practices I've followed tell you to use natural breath! Argh so confusing :)
Jennilee26.01.2016
Erika:)
I love this comment:)
So much goodness:):):)
This 20 minute practice is really about concentrating...which we need to practice and get really good at before we can truly meditate (i think:)
Focusing the mind on breath and sensation trains the mind to stay in the present moment. Its such a beautiful thing...training the mind for longer and longer period of time to be in the present moment.
For my active mind I need something to concentrate on (and i don't think I am alone in this:):):) The Ujjayi (audible victorious breath) is such a great focal point (direct:):):)
Someday my monkey mind will be trained enough so that I can sit on the cushion and WHAM...instantly...peace in the now:):):)
Mary03.01.2017

I am so glad this meditation was so good for you:):):)
Thank you for sharing your vision...sounds so magical:):):)
Gerry17.12.2016
Thank you Jennilee. I will use Ujjayi Breath to try and bring my focus back to my body throughout today and see what happens. I will try and return to this meditation at some point during the day also. Thank you so much.
Namaste
Gerry
Jennilee17.12.2016
Awesome Gerry!
The body and breath really can keep our minds in the here and now:):):)

Dearest Jennilee, This meditation is truly a blessing in my life. I'm a new meditator and return yogi. I'm a 60 plus gal with copd so your 20 minute breath and body meditation is optimum for me to practice often. I also follow a number of other sessions you present. Every week or so I check to see what's newly offered by you that I can try. I anticipate someday to see a new meditation session offered by you. Jennilee, just as you say, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you ! Hugs, LIZ
Jennilee14.02.2018
Liz:)
THANK YOU!!!
I am so glad you are enjoying this meditation and my classes:) I would love to film more meditation practices for you! You have done the gratitude meditation one, yes? I recorded that in November:)
I send you and your lungs so much love and ease:):):)
