Fitness Mania – Does stress and anxiety take the front seat of your life? AIRIN is the fastest and easiest way to bring mindfulness into your everyday experience. By learning to pause with Airin, you give yourself permission to simply be with yourself, free from the worry and anxiety that can take over your mind. In these few moments there is nothing to do or prove, you can simply feel your present moment experience.

Airin sounds periodically throughout your busy day, reminding you to pause and take three mindful breaths. By pausing and noticing your current state of mind, you can approach your life with more calm, clarity, and a positive outlook.

WHAT IS MINDFULNESS?
Paying attention to your present moment experience with openness and curiosity and a willingness to be with what is. This is achieved by focusing your awareness on your breath, while calmly acknowledging and accepting your feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations.

Airin will help you:

GET OUT OF YOUR HEAD & CONNECT WITH YOUR BODY
AIRIN was developed to meet you – the modern woman – where you are at this very moment. By providing a simple and gentle reminder to PAUSE throughout the day and notice your breath, you become empowered to make conscious choices about your life. Instead of going through your day on automatic pilot, you become more embodied allowing you to live life more fully, with presence, ease and grace.
 
REGULATE YOUR EMOTIONS
Whether you take a moment for yourself or not the expectations, schedules and deadlines will still be there. With these obligations come an array of emotions which can create a scenario where your thoughts get ahead of you. Throughout your day, you have the choice to connect with each moment and your breath or just go through the motions. Through mindfulness, you are engaging in self care by refreshing your mindset and connecting to your pure emotions – right here, right now. When you take a quiet moment to sit in peace and breathe, you are making a commitment to fully meet your life and be in tune with how you’re truly feeling. Instead of being flooded by emotions, you gain the ability to observe them and let them move through you.
 
REMEMBER WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU
Who and what is important to you? Do you truly hear what your loved ones are saying when they’re speaking to you? Are you really paying attention to your environment? Are you really even there? So often we’re so busy thinking that we’re living life, but in reality we’re not paying attention to life. With AIRIN, you’re training your muscle of being present. By making it a habit to Pause and listen to yourself, you can really be present with the ones you love and the world around you.
 
GAIN CLARITY, FOCUS AND SO MUCH MORE
Ancient traditions like Buddhism have known the benefits of mindfulness meditation for ages. More recently, experts such as Deepak Chopra and Oprah have been touting the benefits of this practice for gaining clarity in one’s life and supporting mental health. AIRIN gives you the opportunity to take a small step toward enjoying the fruits of this accessible practice.
 
THE GREATEST GIFT YOU CAN GIVE YOURSELF AND OTHERS IS YOUR PRESENCE
When you’re conscious of your breath, you’re conscious of your life. Breathe and notice what’s going on in your body and emotions. How are you feeling? What is your body saying? What do you need right now? Find your voice by listening to yourself. Breath is what grounds us. It gives us life and reminds us that each moment is precious, and that we’re worthy of receiving and enjoying this gift – this ritual of love toward ourselves.
 
With AIRIN, you will come away feeling that this simple change in your routine has given you a way to connect with yourself and the people around you, in a way you never have before.
