Hey everyone I've been thinking about you I really hope you're okay I've had happy moments and at times not so happy moments but I am okay I'm really excited to bring you this new piece of content I think you might really like it and I look forward to hearing how you feel about it… Please don't forget to subscribe like and comment as that helps me. Hope your family as well hope you have food on the table in a roof over your head and a smile on your face love you all Lauren
Thank you Lauren. 😊❤️ I really needed your help tonight. I had very bad dreams and a lots of pain and couldn't get back to sleep. Bur just listening to your voice is a big help. I got 4 h of sleep at last. Better than nothing. And best of all... no nightmares. ❤️❤️❤️
It's really complicated times. May be best to start each day with a 'yes to that' (a 'yes to life'). But also the assumption the day and night ahead can unfold 'better than previously, or expected'. No-one 'can know'. There is optimism, just as there is the pessimistic. Living the day and the night is all thats found in-between ?
Thank you, Lauren! I am finding comfort in this meditation because it’s the middle of the night, and I am broken right now in both body and mind. I am alone now, and have had disabling illnesses and pain with horrible anxiety and depression. I have been bullied and robbed by my disabled mentally ill adult son who just got out of jail for domestic violence. He just left for a stay at a psychiatric/rehab facility, but I’ve been unable to sleep for weeks. I’m trying to get him evicted, but it is taking everything from me to function and go to the courthouse to fill out the paperwork to get the process started. I am concerned about my dog and I being terrorized, and have not been able to get to anywhere for help; not even the hospital or doctor to get emergency care to calm down and sleep. I’m overwhelmed by what I must do and feel weak and unable to function. I’m listening to these words and thinking about how they are perfect right now. I am ok. Life may not be perfect. Life has its challenges, but I am ok right now. I am enough. Thank you, Lauren❣️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am so sorry to hear. How awful for you. I too am suffering from both horrific illnesses - depression robs any joy, anxiety robs the moment of calm. Hugs x
Oh Lauren, I think this may be out of place, but you sound very sad, maybe anguished. I do hope you are OK too. You have given out so much for so many. You will have healed. So we, your subscribers; your audience - we love you - we want you to receive (if you require it) our deepest thoughts. Our tears (whether we can 'produce' or not). Love bless you Lauren ... 🧡
Thank you Stephen for your beautiful empathy it means a lot to me empathy is a gift remember it is a gift thank you I am not okay and I am also okay I’m learning and growing and I am grieving I love you also thank you for keeping me in your thoughts bless you also Stephen
@@LaurenOstrowskiFenton Listening to this I thought you seemed much more sad than your usual videos. Then I read the comments. I found your videos while in university and going through a not very good time my self. Again, feeling like life’s a little rough I came to your videos. I’m not too sure what you were going through at the time you recorded this, but I hope you’re doing somewhat better now! x love from the UK 🇬🇧 x
The opposite, if she were to exude happiness, excitement, joy: it would likely resonate inauthenticy / non-genuine expresssion meant only to memorize for immediate recall. This is a true internal reflection of experienced traumatic pain.... not a sales pitch for quick profit❤
Dearest Lauren, This video is my new favorite, especially when my mind is clouded by catastrophizing thoughts of overwhelm and lack of every possible sort (from CPTSD). Your words and your voice are among the few things that can slow the downward spiral I become trapped in. I listen to the talk down portion once, then rewind and listen to it again from the beginning and meditate/sleep thru the calming music that follows. I cannot thank you enough; this piece gives me the courage to get up and face the day. Many times I actually use it throughout the day to avoid panic attacks and ruminations. You are truly an angel on this earth. Thank you so much for generously offering your meditations to us via RU-vid; you are saving lives. Sending you love from my heart filled with gratitude. God bless you, dear one. 💗💗💗
Dear Lauren, I have never commented before or written on this forum of youtube. I want to thank you so very much for your meditations and your kind voice. It has quite literally saved my life on so many occasions ..I love also reading everyone's comments. Bless you. Love to you. 🙏🙏🙏
Dearest Emma it is so lovely to hear from you thank you so much for reaching out I just love these comments also they are so consistently kind loving and sharing this community is also quite literally saved my life I'm so glad that you have felt support here that means a lot to me take care Emma Love Lauren
@@LaurenOstrowskiFenton dearest Lauren how are you? I have been thinking a lot about you and blessing you as I listen to your meditations again and again. I still can’t believe you replied to my comment. I think I put RU-vidrs on pedestals!!! This is the sort of thing I dream of doing one day- putting my meditations out in the world, I have been told my voice is perfect for that. I lack self confidence. Sending love and huge gratitude and hugs. Xxxxx ,,
I am very grateful and appreciative for this and all your videos, but I resonate with this audio. I’ve suffered and struggled with chronic pain for over a decade now and I find solace and love through your videos. This particular audio helps me feel I can be OK” or similarly what I tell myself, “I am having an as well as possible day.” It took quite some time to accept my whole life changed literally overnight, actually within a few hours. I initially felt I had the worst flu ever, but within a few days and nights I intuitively knew it was not a flu. Pain has taught me many valuable lessons I might not have learned otherwise. I am surrounded with people who love and support me and that alone is a huge blessing for which I am very grateful❣️❣️ Lauren, if you are struggling for whatever reason, I send love, light and compassion to you. I pray for you and you are included in my meditations. Thank you for all the time and love you invest creating videos and audios for us. Much love to you, your family and everyone in this global community of beautiful souls, in oneness! 🙏🏻❤️🕊
I had to look back to see if I had written this comment. I am going through the same thing, but I’m alone and have been terrorized by my adult mentally ill, but cunning son, who has been stealing from me and abusing me. I hope you are well. 🙏💕
@@Tinyteacher1111 All you have written here is well understood. Know you are not alone in your pain, both physically and emotionally. The betrayal of our deeply loved adult children cuts deep. I am so so sorry you feel this too.
I love you Lauren 😌 you are an angel. You've helped me through the last 2½ years. You've helped with my anxiety and night terrors tremendously. I can't thank you enough.
Dearest Jacinta thank you so much for reaching out I really appreciate it thank you so much for listening to my content it humbles me that you have found support through my content thank you so much Lauren
@@LaurenOstrowskiFenton Don't know how to reply simply to such a commendation. Save as you are authentic in every message to your 'followership' and that sounds as all I have tried to be, and do in quite a lengthy life so far. For a good part perceived as flaky or tender-minded. But I fought through, and past those 'slings and arrows' that may be called cumulative traumatic experiences, or just put-downs. In recent times after my life-partner died early (Juliet: mother to 'our five') I have realized all that is basically required in life is good intentions. That is undemanding, and what is also called 'good enough'. Attributed to Dr Donald Winnicott (d. 1971) particularly his ideal of the 'good enough' mother. (Not some 'Wonder-Mother or Father'). More generally given by Winnicott as finding, and being happy-enough with our own true self ?
Awwwww. My comfort place. Right here on this channel and this specific meditation. I love it. Sometimes I cry and sob, sometimes I feel so content. One this I always do no matter what feelings I am sitting with during this meditation is ALWAYS say the words “im ok, I am ok.” After todays video Lauren posted I have a much better or shall I say I’ve become more wise in why I feel this way. Now, I’m working on my compassion and not letting my words that I decided to identify with be in control. I feel happy for this moment of clarity. I think that means I’m having compassion towards myself. Very nice relief after torturing myself while I work through my grief and anxiety.
Dear Lauren, I want to thank you. I don’t know what I’d do without your meditations. You are such a healer, goddess, soother and powerful woman. I truly feel as though you are a valued part of my life. ❤
🍃⚘️🍃⚘️🍃⚘️🍃⚘️🍃⚘️🍃Thank you for this beautiful and re-assuring meditation. The first line into it I felt seen. I woke with gut distension, tensed muscles body wide and full of fear, hopelessness and anxiety. I am no spring chicken or new to relaxation and staying present tools. Extenuating circumstances and ongoing stress takes a toll. Sometimes I can't reel myself back in. Body and soul sick and in tears, I looked for a meditation that speaks to exactly this. Tight as a drum, filled with huge fear I layed and listened. Breathing along with your guidance, in 60 minutes I felt validated, safe, reassured and understood. My body and nervous system then in a better state. Stomach distension went down and the knots in my back released. Know that you never know who you touch. I am here and breathing because of this meditation. Thank you from the depths of my heart for giving the gift of yourself. This meditation was no random accident. It was perfect. Your voice so calming and not rushed. You have a gift. I am grateful to have received it. Miles and miles of peace, light and love to you ~❤~🍃🌹🍃 From an elder gal in N.Y. 🌿
Ohh thank goodness for you Lauren❤️❤️🙏I think I’ve listened to every video you have put out!! Thank you so much!! I’m so grateful for this new video, thank you!! Many blessings to you and your family, love. Sending love your way and out to everyone in here❤️❤️😇
Goodness me some of the old ones are pretty terrible thank you so much for your interest it really means a lot to me thank you many many blessings to you and your family thank you so much for listening to my content and writing to me thank you for being part of this community much love Lauren
This is the best meditation relax video I have seen it perfectly describes my situation I'm glad I'm not alone out there I do feel isolated I'm having horrible things constantly happening to me financial problems Dad passed having a legal matter with his caregiver trying to steal the property and let's just goes on just compounds problems are part of life but I swear I'm overwhelmed I don't have relatives or anyone to help me out and it was a tragic situation I could have handled normal problems very easily years ago right now they're just tag alongs which complicates the other problems so yeah this video helps thank you so much
Brett I so hear you and can relate to several of the issues you speak of I'm so sorry your dad passed away as you know both my parents passed away in one week last May I also know the challenges with a deceased estate as well and the various things that can happen I'm so very sorry for you sending you blessings resilience I know I don't truly understand what you're going through nobody can truly understand but I'm sorry and wishing you well
I needed this and have listened to this at least q0 times over and over. Thank u for caring so mu ch for other people and helping them and myself the way u do. I can't thank u enough u are. GOD SENT
Truly love this meditation Lauren. It touched on so much in my life that has happened this year in particular. When you say you are sorry for the sad experiences it is so comforting. I know life has had its challenges for you, and through the way you chat I feel empathy for you too, and I am sorry for your sad experiences. It makes me feel like a close friend I can share with. So a huge heartfelt thankyou.
Yes Jenny I feel like that also like we are close friends I have had the most difficult year of my life so far I enjoy this community brings me so much solace and so much support thank you for listening to this I’m sorry that you have suffered and you have walked a challenging path send you love and gratitude thank you Jenny
Thank you. As always. You’re always there when I can’t sleep. Tonight I’m mourning the loss of a family member going on nearly 48 hours without sleep. This is already helping. You are such a healing force, Lauren.
oh lauren…thank you for always being my saving grace. it is 2 am in new york and i had a stressful day.. my laptop gave up the ghost and i am soo stressed. i do everything for school on that laptop. i have been crying for hours 💔 sometimes this adult life is too stressful for a young adult like me. you are so wonderful and you always soothe me to sleep. thank you for everything you do ❤❤
All of your meditations are so caring, I feel like a family member. My real family treats me like I' don't exist, or should just not exist. I try to reframe that loneliness. That's a good video title to reframe loneliness.
I listened to this last night! I had a couple deep sleeps. Short. I haven't slept well for a long time. I am hooked. I had some unusual dreams. Thank you ! ❤
Sat listening to this at 4:15am, I am really struggling with life, I don’t know what to do anymore I have debilitating anxiety and panic disorder. 3 years agoraphobic and in a DV relationship. Praying for better days but been like this for too long 😢
I’m sorry you are going through this. I have agoraphobia also. I was with a narc for 23 years. Listen to this for at least 30 nights in a row. I will help. What is DV?
Dearest Kate I'm so sorry that you went through whatever you went through you are an amazing inspirational gentle soul and I feel so privileged to share in some of your energy I really really do much love Lauren
Me too Lauren,I left teaching and know that was the right decision but feel so lost. I don't want to be nut scared to dream. I feel ive failed so much. How do I dream again?
Coming across this later but wanted to say thank you. It’s really hitting the spot tonight. Especially after a tough mothers day without my Mom. Ive just been so tense and tough on myself and really appreciate your calming voice here.
I listen to hypnosis tapes every night. And I was really out of low at this point. And this was the most helpful video that I listen to I am dedicated fans ♥️🙏🌟
I’m so glad I found this video. I really needed it, and it came to me at the perfect time. You speak with so much love and empathy, which makes it easier for me to approach my own self with love and empathy. I’ve been realllly struggling with how to show love to myself, and this meditation just gave me an amazing framework to start with. You have no idea how much of a relief this is for me. Thank you for making this video and sharing it with us. It’s helping me so much.
Really. From my heart, Thank you so much for making this. The last couple weeks have been SO hard. But this meditation has saved me every night for the last week and a half. And I’m learning what I’ve been lacking my WHOLE 37 years of life - how to be compassionate and accepting to MYSELF. “Thank you” just doesn’t seem to cover it. You have so positively impacted me during such a delicate time of my life. I shared this meditation with a few of my closest friends too. 💕
Oh my goodness me!!! I just saw this!!! I've been editing a three hour piece of content and moving I'm so so so sorry I didn't see this this is so kind of you I can't believe it you have no idea how much this helps me it brings tears to my eyes thank you thank you thank you much love Lauren
Hi Lauren. The very slight natural echo of your new(ish) location adds extra depth to these wonderfull meditations and makes headphone listening even better. The universe keeps shuffling the pack just to keep life interesting but generally managing to cope with day to day life. Hope all well with you too.
I thought I had replied to this but perhaps I just replied in my head.... it is in an apartment without furniture with wooden floors and high ceilings a heritage building with rich history which I love and is kind of cavelike thank you so much for appreciating it yes it is very very echoey here and the reverb is high thank you for constantly reaching out thank you for caring thank you for supporting my meandering occasionally rocky journey with your beautiful beautiful well chosen words much love Lauren
❤️. I just shared ur channel with my Stoic mentor/life coach. He has many ppl who look up to him and are in need of mental healing. U help me so much I hope others will find the strength u guide us to.
How very kind and generous of you and how thoughtful. You are lovely to provide me with such ongoing support and care and comments I really appreciate it wishing you well and thank you so much for reaching out
Im hoping this helps me fall asleep quickly. Life really is just simply too hard right now, and if i knew i wouldnt wake up tomorrow... id honestly find peace in it. I need this distraction. I honestly just need something. I need hope. Because i just have none anymore.
Wonderfully calm meditation video. For me, this is one of the best ways to find mental and emotional balance after a hard, stressful day at work, so that I can then start new tasks with renewed strength. Thank you for sharing it with us. Have a nice day. ❤
Hay Lauren, Glad to hear you are doing okay... This is another beautiful session... It helps so much to cope, and bring things in perspective. Life for me is just that.... Life... I work, I take care if Mom. There are so many changes going on at work, new rules, procedures, friends leaving to better jobs they've found. Everybody outside of work is too busy to chat or just not around. Its kind of crazy that this bothers me so but I have stopped being the one thats always calling. They have their lives and i guess i have mine. So i guess i can say that i absolutely love your meditation sessions. They are so filled with love and encouragement... Thank you so much...
Hi I keep listening to this video are there any more videos like this I'll be straightforward and honest life is very hard for whatever reason and someone told me that one out of 10 people have a hard life it's like a snowball effect and you're right nobody understands but me and I also notice one thing nobody cares so my life just became even harder over the last few days and I don't know how much more I can take
i hope you are doing better ❤ i am so sorry no one in your life is caring for you the way you desire. just know LAUREN cares, putting out all these lovely comforting videos. and i care, responding to your message ❤ stay strong my friend, you are more resilient than you think!
You might want to try the meditation that Lauren called "when life sucks". If you put "when life sucks meditation" into the RU-vid search box it should be the first video in the list. I hope it helps. Blessings, Dot
@@LaurenOstrowskiFenton I have begun to listen to your meditations every evening and they are so uplifting and comforting. You acknowledge that life can be a challenge and give comfort around that fact without false positivity …and it’s so reassuring and helpful! As a counselor and life coach, I so appreciate your approach Again, thank you.
As we all know these videos help us a lot I don't know for me they're a godsend but let us all keep in mind that life is a two-way street often people that have a few problems think it's very easy I'll get over it things will get better think positive come on you're overthinking it. Those are all things people say people are not mindful they don't understand I was actually one of those people until I enter the world of the bottomless pit or a million things hit me that are larger than life and it makes normal everyday problems that occur seem larger than life and just remember it's best to be mindful with other people cuz one never knows what they're dealing with people do get triggered to do things they're not good so my point is I let the small stuff go there was a time I didn't there's a reason why people act the way they act I don't personally ignore people or give them a hard time because the chances if they're seeming mad or have an attitude with me they're like that with everyone else they have problems in my current state I'm having this happen to me everyday I get negative energy bad things that happened to me that are truly not as big as one would think but in this case they are very big to me. One person that's only me for years says come on Brett you're strong you're that confident person you were 10 years ago what happened to you I tried explaining times have changed I've even trying to get into detail and I can't do this for every person is there a way to have people respect you and knock it on your case for every little thing cuz I truly get triggered to the point where I want to isolate all the time.
Brett I understand and I'm sorry that you were experiencing this the answer is within yourself and within yourself only. There are many people that do not question that do not consider that do not empathise there are many people that like simple answers but unfortunately life is generally not about simple answers and none of us truly know another person story all you can do and I know it's hard is to sit in the space knowing that they don't know they just don't know and they are never going to know what you go through you need to summon the strength to accept they will never get it I don't know if that comment is very encouraging I would like to say something encouraging but what I personally found in life is that people like to simplify in order to walk away I like to believe in people but I think there are very few people that are truly truly kind it takes a very wise soul to constantly consider the complex needs and stories of others. Brett you are doing well even the fact that you ask n these questions reflects your wisdom keep going you're doing well Lauren
i’m so very sorry you’re going through this. I really am. Life can be incredibly unfair and sometimes no matter how much faith we have. How much resilience and hope Life still can take an adverse turn thinking of you.
I don’t want to live much longer. All my life, i have advocated, counselled, and campaigned on behalf of my fellow human beings. Look at the state of our world now. it is HELL ON EARTH, esp in the Gaza Strip, West Bank The dehumanisation of some of our human family is unspeakably evil
I'm so very sorry for whatever experience you have had to lead you to this point please know that you have so much worth no matter what occurs or what others do or say much love Lauren
I hope you’re not sad today. Your not alone. You will get through this. Turn your energy into finding out who you are. Find out what roll you play in the relationship. You will be happy again.
