Flow - Day 18 - Meditate

Slip into sukhasana for divine stillness and meditation! Let’s take today to invite a sense of peace and slow pause for both the physical body and our mental state. 

Today is all about renewal - a great opportunity to renew your commitment to showing up.

Hello everyone that’s a part of this beautiful community. I hope this journey is helping you through anything you may be going through. It helps in so many ways. I’m proud of myself and I’m proud of all of you for being here each day. Taking care of ourselves being on the mat, keeps our mind and body well through whatever life may throw our way! All the best to you all on and off the mat.❤🙏

[MelissaMantini]

I have not done 30 consecutive days, and I am at peace with that. I come to the mat when I’m able, and there is no shame in not showing up every single day. That’s life!

I got teary-eyed today as the line came to me "I want to cultivate a deep friendship with myself." As someone who has a critical inner voice, who has struggled with body dysmorphia and disordered eating, my "self" often gets treated way worse than others in my life. But this January and other years I've done these month-long challenges, I soften. I embrace her, my inner self. Things seem to be easier, more hopeful, and my whole life seems like a more connected whole. Hoping to continue on doing daily yoga through the end of March, maybe redoing some of her other year's challenges. I am in my early thirties and don't want to go the rest of my life without that deep inner friendship Adriene helps me cultivate. Thank you Adriene and FWFG community!

To anyone reading this: You're in a safe place. You're fully capable. You're exactly right as you are. You'll handle this, just as you've handled so much. And remember, this too shall pass. 🌈✨

Took a week off and coming back with this practice is truly a re-commitment. I have done this journey for the last 5 years, every year is different but I always finish it and take something away. So if you are also coming back after taking a break for whatever reason I hope this comment brings you some comfort and validation in your unique journey :)

I listened to this practice on my headphones and you could hear Adriene’s heartbeats. It helped so much to stop my thoughts for 10 minutes. Have an amazing day everyone, wherever you’re practicing!

Entering into a deeper friendship with ourselves. The phrase almost made me cry, but surely this is the greatest gift of this practice - all of us together, finding our own light, seeing each other’s. With deepest gratitude to Adriene and to everyone here.

[rachelruark]

Sometimes during yoga and meditation I imagine a globe lit up by everyone practicing, like fireflies or candle flames all over the world. Looking forward to savoring another practice with all of you and as always, thank you Adriene for another beautiful gift. ❤

Still here on March 24th.
With two bad colds, a broken finger and my old wrist injury acting up, the first three months of this year have not been too kind to my body, but I am committed to finish this journey - in my own time, the way my body allows 🧘🏻‍♀️.
So if anybody is also far behind like me: you are not alone, we‘ve got this! ❤

Before I even start the video. Since I get so frustrated with perfectionism and end up never finishing my goals, this year I’ve given myself permission to go slow and consistent. I’m at day 18 and it’s February, but I’m still here and that’s new for me. I’m having a lot of manic thoughts lately and this morning before opening YouTube I said “I have no strength for yoga today, I’ll just meditate” ( I haven’t in months) but I opened YouTube anyway because I wanted to give it a try…and the title is MEDITATE

[heathermcclelland]

This is the first time I’ve been on schedule with the 30 days of yoga. Each year I end up oversleeping and getting a day behind, then a few days behind, then I never finish. I haven’t missed yet! I’m determined to finish this year, on time, and maybe revisit a previous years’ for February 😏

[heathera]

Adriene said it, today symbolises renewal with the intention to complete this 30 day challenge. To all those of you who are finishing today, congratulations, I hope you enjoyed your journey. To all those who are continuing, I'll see you tomorrow. 😊

After Adriene said: "Give yourself permission here to do just that, nothing else, just acknowledging the thoughts with your breath." I meditated in absolute silence when I started thinking that this is pretty advanced meditating and I'm a bit surprised Adriene doesn't guide us more. Then after at least 5 minutes I glance at my screen and realize it's black, my wifi has disconnected and I've been meditating on my own 😂But I loved it and enjoyed joining the practice again for the shared finish. 💖

[ALEXIEDWARDS]

Working a day behind, but very excited to share this with everyone who is here now, was here yesterday, or is coming to this video later.

[shaeanthony]

The message that came to me while I meditated was, "I'll be as patient with you as you need me to be". This practice is a joy! Thank you Adriene for helping me connect to myself.

[MaiaBG]

I think meditations are harder for me than the yoga practices! I have skipped them sometimes when I follow the other monthly calendars, but I encouraged myself to stick with it this morning. Very glad I did. It is so nice to just...be. And breathe. Thank you, Adriene! Namaste, everyone! 💖

[anastassia]

Day 18, February 10th. I listened though I remember nothing. Hope it gets straight to my inner self through relaxed body and calming vibes of Adriene's voice. Lots of love to all of us❤. Thanks Adriene and Benji ❤. Namaste 🙏

[jonathancacy]

My body is tired today so I appreciated the ease. I will admit that the thoughts that were bombarding me were not all pleasant. However, instead of trying to block them, I acknowledged them and sent them on their way. This is something I need to continue to practice. Namaste everyone, have a beautiful weekend.

[agnieszkapawnik]

I will have to say - those practices are challenging for me sometimes. I go with a tabletop or a child's pose a lot instead of plank and downward facing dog. But I am getting stronger everyday. It's astonishing. But today? Oh, isn't it nice to see a different face of that flow and ease? Loved it. Thank you Adriene

[noahliasam]

It's a universal meditation in this community! Namaste everyone, have a wonderful and resting Friday ❤🙏🏼
