LONG PAUSE Stay in the present. The calm. The quiet of the night. Allow yourself to relax into it. LONG PAUSE Now, breathe, And let your mind  Drift along, with thoughts moving through like rolling waves. PAUSE Now, imagine if you can, standing in a lighthouse, with a world of velvety black all around the lighthouse. PAUSE It?s nighttime. and so quiet, that the night hums, and the murmur of the waves echoes through the tower. They are the only sounds, and they bring peace to you. PAUSE Standing at the top of the lighthouse, you gaze out into the sea, a sea dark and mysterious, like black obsidian. PAUSE But through the darkness, a soft beam of light, crosses the water in a circular motion, exposing the secret majesty of the sea. PAUSE Now, imagine, if you can, watching the light, as it sets small sections of water aglow. Just for a few seconds, before it moves on. PAUSE You count the seconds between the dark and light, hypnotized by its beauty. You know  that there is magic in both.  power in both magnificence in both. Dark and  Light. PAUSE Imagine now, Listening to sea, As its waves Flow up and down. Up and down. Up and down. PAUSE Then the sea whispers to you, In between each roll of her waves.  What does she say? PAUSE After a moment, you hear the sea singing, ever so quietly. It?s like a lullaby softly rolls in you. PAUSE You gaze out into  The watery blackness again. This time, though,  You feel gratitude with your peace. Gratitude because your lighthouse shines to help others. PAUSE After a while, your light is not the only light that illuminates the water of midnight. Now, a luminous full moon bursts forth from the clouds that had tried to cover it. PAUSE As the lighthouse beam cuts across the water, it meets with the silvery glow of the moon, and for a moment, the sea illuminates like tinsel. PAUSE For hours, you gaze at this symphony of light? this dance of moon and lighthouse energy pirouetting across the water. It?s relaxing. Mesmerizing. Inspiring. PAUSE But then, the light from the moon dims, and the beam of the lighthouse fades. Across the sky, the first ray of the sunlight pierces night?s veil. PAUSE And, as the sun rises, bringing life to the water, and creatures in and around the water,  a new calm befalls the sea, one of brilliant beauty and color.  One of life and peace and joy.

PAUSE? Notice your mind, Moving,  Swirling, And wanting to play. PAUSE? And see if you can imagine yourself, Looking upon your mind, Noticing your thoughts from afar, And then breathing out a sigh, As your body softens, And your mind calms. Slow down now, And find your breath. Inhale deeply, Following the air as it fills up your belly, And hold it for a moment.  And then exhale completely, Letting all that air go, And tightening your stomach at the end, As the very last drops of air are released.  PAUSE? Relax into a nice, easy rhythm of breathing, Slowing it down bit by bit with every single breath.  PAUSE? Let it soothe your body, And calm your mind.  LONG PAUSE? Now look upon your mind from afar. This beautiful part of you, Who loves to stay active, Electric, And bursting with thoughts.   PAUSE? Notice the colors, The greens and yellows and pinks, Painting your mind as they move, Sparkle,  And create.  PAUSE? Notice the bubbles of black, The mini clouds of grey, Spreading across with worry, And stress. PAUSE? Notice it all there, Encapsulated in your mind, This gorgeous, magical entity of color.  LONG PAUSE? Now breathe out, Over and over again, And notice the movement of your mind, Slow down, Lighten, And calm.  LONG PAUSE? Breathe out, And notice the colors that were sparkling within, The colors that were painted inside, Are lightening, Dissolving, And disappearing. Slowly, Piece by piece, Shade by shade, Drifting away from your mind, And into the nothingness of the night. LONG PAUSE? Look upon your mind from afar, Your body melted deep into your bed, Safe within your sheets.  PAUSE? Listen for it, The gentle sounds of silence, Coming from your calm mind. PAUSE? Feel it, The absence of movement, The space to be. The space to surrender to sleep. PAUSE? Breathe? And feel the calm, In your body, In your mind, Within your soul. Sweet Dreams, Beautiful.  ???

And take a moment to tune into your body. Becoming aware of its pulse, its life tempo. As you feel that pulse,  allow yourself to blend with it, Letting it melt into your cells  with energy flowing. LONG PAUSE Now gently shift your focus to your breath,  Breath that sweeps and  expands within you, Every time you breathe in, And out.  LONG PAUSE As your breath fills you,  become aware of its rhythm, its pulse? Drawing in? and letting out?   in? and out. LONG PAUSE Now, see if you can imagine an artist?s canvas inside you, Unfolding at your center,  spreading to your chakras. See a paintbrush thick with colors, swishing life and energy onto your canvas. PAUSE? Envision the paintbrush  at the base of your spine,  painting your root chakra red,  filling it with stability,  like an ancient tree whose roots run deep. Breathe in the tree?s aroma  and hear a soft whisper, Red grounds me. PAUSE? Now, the paintbrush moves below the belly button, with long, orange strokes  It taps your feelings? Opening them  like a kaleidoscope of emotions  that you feel and breathe in.  You hear the whisper, Orange connects me to my feelings. PAUSE Envision the brush now  rolling over your center With waves of yellow like rays of sunshine, shimmering with confidence. Breathe in the rays and hear,  Yellow radiates my confidence. PAUSE Now, the brush wraps gently ?round your chest, With a beautiful green, flowing over the heart. And with each pass of the brush,  calm washes over you. Breathe in the calm as the words come, Green is my peace. PAUSE The brush moves  to the throat chakra with turquoise-blue  that glistens like the ocean. You peer into the water  and see your true expression,  So, you breathe in the ocean and affirm,  Blue is my self-expression. PAUSE The brush dips deep into  an abundant indigo blue  and forms scallops along the edges  of your third eye, Like a flower that tingles  your third eye with truth,  it blossoms with your awareness,  As you hear, Indigo opens my intuition. PAUSE The paintbrush pauses  as it reaches the crown chakra. Then, with a single stroke,  a divine purple light  stretches from you to the heavens. PAUSE You're in awe of the light. You reach out to touch it  and as it moves through your fingers, you know. With purple, I am one with the Divine. LONG PAUSE? You are calm. You are aligned.  You are whole.  Namaste, Beautiful ???

And, as it does, Several tiny bunnies approach And gently nuzzle you. Their velvety fur is comforting, Almost relaxing, And their calm demeanor Brings a sense of peace to you. PAUSE You take a deep breath, And the blanket rises above the bunnies That stand on their hind legs, As if wishing you well. And the blanket sails away.

A few years ago, my friend had a panic attack. As she told me about it afterward, my heart hurt for her and I wished there was something I could do to help. So, I created a meditation that she could keep on hand. And then I created another, and then another. And soon, I launched an entire podcast called Panic Attack Meditation to help her and others during those incredibly intense moments of high anxiety and panic attacks. If you find yourself or someone you love needing support like this, make sure to follow Panic Attack Meditation on your favorite podcast player so you can have them on hand when you need them. Right now, I want to share a listener favorite called Calm Mind. I hope you enjoy it.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

LONG PAUSE Now, imagine if you can, Sitting on the ground, With a beautiful, statuesque older woman. PAUSE The woman has hair, Braided in mazes, On top of her head. Her eyes are like shiny onyx, And her skin glows, In the sun.  PAUSE Together, you sit cross-legged on the ground. The woman weaves a basket With black, brown and golden strands. PAUSE Several minutes pass in silence. Then the woman, Shows you the basket, With a magnificent spider design woven into it. ?The spider knows balance,? she says. ?Close your eyes, breathe, And feel balance in your life.? PAUSE After a moment, You feel a calmness, A centeredness, A balance, Like the nimble spider. The woman smiles. PAUSE The woman sets the Spider basket aside, And takes out another basket. After weaving for a few minutes, She shows you a basket with  a beautiful flower design. PAUSE She gives you the basket to hold, And you run your fingers over the strands.  They?re surprisingly soft. PAUSE After moments of silence, The basket weaver speaks again. ?The flower knows natural beauty,? she says. ?Close your eyes, breathe, ?And see your natural beauty.? PAUSE After a moment of closing your eyes, And going inward, You see light around yourself, Light that shines from the inside out. And you recognize and embrace Your natural beauty. The woman smiles. PAUSE The woman sets the flower basket aside, And reaches for another. This basket is different, though. It is completed, but there are no colors,  no designs. Just simple golden strands. PAUSE After a moment, The woman speaks. ?This basket carries food, Nourishment for our people. It understands what the Self needs to sustain.? PAUSE Holding the basket, You close your eyes And are flooded  With images of ways  To care for yourself.  Ways you?ve either ignored or not known. PAUSE As you open your eyes, The basket changes. Designs of spiders, flowers, Houses, trees, patterns, and more, Appear on the basket. PAUSE After a moment, The basket weaver speaks. ?The basket is yours,? she says. ?It will come with you always. When you need to care for yourself, Just look into it. What you need will appear.? PAUSE Imagine, gingerly, running your fingers Over the designs, Knowing that they were created Just for you. Knowing that they hold the keys To your well-being. PAUSE Now, envision closing your eyes again,  Breathing deeply, peacefully, And seeing the basket Weave its way into your consciousness, So it is there, With its contents, Whenever you need or want it.

The night is inviting you to sleep deeply tonight, my love, So you can awaken to a new, fresh beginning tomorrow morning.  Where the weight of today has vanished and anything is possible. So gently ease yourself into your most favorite sleeping position,  Squeezing your eyes shut tight for just a few seconds, One, two, three? And then release the tension and relax,  Feeling the weight of your eyelids gently soften your face. Now take a deep breath in,  Filling up your belly with air, And then holding it for just a few seconds. Hold it. And then exhale,  Releasing the air, releasing the tension, releasing the day. PAUSE? Find your breath.  Let yourself follow it, In and out.  Expanding and contracting. Cleansing and releasing. Surrender to it, The rhythmic motion of air, Like the waves of the ocean dancing with the beach, Rising and covering the sand, And then retracting and releasing its hold. Breathing in, Breathing out. Breathe? PAUSE? Everything that you?re holding onto right now, All those thoughts,  Worries, Plans, Desires, Breathe them out every time you exhale.  They do not belong here. They have no power in this moment. It?s only you, And your breath. So breathe them out, And let them go. PAUSE? Feel a space slowly open up inside, A space with no past,  A space with no expectations, A space with no boundaries.  And see if you can feel this space expand just a bit more with every new breath in.  Breathe out and release, Breathe in and expand. PAUSE? Melt deeper into your bed, And feel the spaciousness inside of you grow,  Making room for tomorrow?s new beginning. A chance to wake up to a fresh, clean slate. Anything is possible here. Nothing from the past can imprison you, Nothing from the future can scare you, Let that all go, And be here now with the lightness of this space inside, Where new beginnings abound.

This quote by Bob Proctor infuses the intention of tonight?s meditation, which is to soothe yourself to sleep as you swim in the visions of your abundant, prosperous life.  So let?s begin by inviting your body to settle into your bed, Allowing it to move around a bit, free to find comfort in whatever position feels best for you.  And when you find it,  Take a big, deep breath in, feeling the air go deep into every part of your body, And then exhale all the air out.  Take one more deep breath in, filling up your chest and belly with cool, cleansing air, And then breathe it out,  And sink deeper into your position. PAUSE? Be here. And breathe. Your attention on the simple and miraculous motion of your breathing. The soothing rhythm, The soft tingling that eventually fills your body as the oxygen floods you. The calmness that arises after every breath out. Breathe? And be still. Breathe? And be here. Deeply relaxed. Releasing any thoughts, Any emotions, As you breathe. PAUSE? Prosperity begins with gratitude for what we already have. So invite yourself to take some time to swim in the fullness of your blessings. Imagining them floating around you now as your heart smiles with thanks. Gratitude for your health, Your family and friends, Your shelter and all the things that make your life yours right now. Be thankful and feel prosperous now. LONG PAUSE... Breathe in and be one with prosperity right now. PAUSE? Now let your body relax,  And imagine your dreams tapping you on your shoulder,  Ready to play. Breathe deeply and let her take you by the hand, And walk you through a luscious green park. The warm sun is shining and the sounds of animals sing in the background. Everything is alive, Vibrant, Filled with possibility, And it?s all for you. Let yourself play here, On the playgrounds of prosperity, Imagining all the ways you envision abundance are coming to life before your eyes.   PAUSE? Perhaps you see money flowing in easily, filling you with trust and feelings of security. Maybe you see yourself in optimal health, running in the distance. Perhaps you see an abundance of time manifesting as travel and relaxation. Just be here and walk through your park of prosperity, Allowing your dreams to play. LONG PAUSE? It?s all yours, my love. Born from the deep roots of gratitude for what you have now,  The vastness of your abundant dreams are here for you.  And you are worthy of every single one of them.  Sweet Dreams, Beautiful ???

LONG PAUSE Let the relaxation take over you; And welcome the solace. Sail into sleep with no cares, Just like a beautiful goddess.    LONG PAUSE Now, imagine if you can, Standing at the foot of a rainbow, Gazing into the clouds, Where all the beautiful colors go. PAUSE There?s a soft red arch, Like the petal of a rose, Another in aquamarine And a third in pale yellow. PAUSE If you shift your gaze, A violet arch appears, And a hint of green and orange show up, When you draw near. PAUSE And as you continue to observe, You notice the color indigo emerge. PAUSE After a moment, you raise your arms, And are lifted to the sky, Connecting with the rainbow colors, Body, soul and mind. PAUSE   Now, imagine if you can, Those rainbow colors in you, As you slide up the arches, To explore something new.  PAUSE Imagine scaling the colors, As your rise into the sky, Seeing shimmering sunlight, And misty clouds go by. PAUSE And the rainbow works like a conveyor belt, Moving you to the top. The higher you go; the more connected you feel. You don?t want this feeling to stop. PAUSE And finally, the rainbow conveyor slows, As you reach the highest peak, With rays of sunlight all around, Shining through in streaks. PAUSE And, from your place atop the clouds, Sitting on the rainbow?s arch, You feel the rainbow inside of you; It?s no longer separate and apart. PAUSE You feel your chakras vibrate, Each energy center alive, You feel it in your abdomen, And at the base of your spine. PAUSE         You feel the colors in your core And in your throat above, And through your chest, near your heart, You?re filled with compassion and love. PAUSE And a gentle energy hums On your head and between your eyes. You see the colors indigo and purple, Blending with you and rising to the sky. PAUSE Breathe in deep the colors, That light you from inside. Feel your energy balancing, As joy and peace coincide. PAUSE And, after a moment you?re ready, To bid the rainbow goodbye. You turn and position yourself, For your downward ride. PAUSE   And, as you cruise down through the clouds, You relish the balance within. The rainbow has shown you magic, And that you both are truly kin. PAUSE So, when your feet touch the ground, And the rainbow fades away, You thank the rainbow for its magic, And head out on your way. PAUSE Yet, as you leave, you know the truth, Of the rainbow in the sky, It?s part of you and will always be, Lighting you from inside. NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL ???

As you draw it in, let tension and pain out. Keep breathing in the calm. Keep breathing out the tension and pain. LONG PAUSE And, as you breathe, let your body melt into the sheets of your bed. Let the sheets wrap around you, enfold you, in warmth and love. LONG PAUSE Keep breathing. Keep relaxing. Until you feel your body is so comfortable it could float.    LONG PAUSE Now, imagine if you can, your body floating, drifting upward, slowly and gently. PAUSE And, as your body rises, You hear a whisper in the air. ?The night is bathed  in both light and dark.  Drink in its beauty.? PAUSE As the whisper ends, you feel your body sailing out into the heart of the night. You feel safe and secure, and calm and relaxed. PAUSE   As you float into the night, you gaze upon a half-moon  glistening in the sky? a half-moon that whispers in your ear, ?You are a light in the darkness.? You thank the half-moon and hold the whisper close. PAUSE After a few moments, you float over a forest of pine trees? their needles gently  tickle you. Then, the pine trees whisper to you, ?You are fresh and new each night and day.? You thank the pine trees and hold the whisper close. PAUSE Moments later, you drift over a lake reflecting the moon and the stars. The lake whispers to you, ?You have calmness in your center.? You thank the lake and hold the whisper close. PAUSE After drawing in a deep breath, you feel a gentle breeze guiding you as you float. There?s a whisper in the breeze, ?You know how to flow with life.? You thank the breeze and hold the whisper close. PAUSE You drift over a park filled with a garden of flowers. The flowers whisper in your ear, ?You spread natural beauty in the world each day.? You thank the flowers and  hold their whisper close. PAUSE You draw in a deep breath, and glide over hills and rocks until you come to a waterfall. The mist of the waterfall kisses your face and begins to whisper to you, ?You are strong, yet flexible.? You thank the waterfall and hold the whisper close. PAUSE After a while, You feel yourself  floating back to your home. Soon, you are gently placed in your bed where the sheets caress you. Then the sheets whisper to you, ?You are always safe here.? You thank the sheets and hold their whisper close. And, as you do, you feel the sheets wrap around you, snuggling you, and your mind  gently hears the  whispers of the night. They play in your ear like a lullaby, and soon,  you are asleep. NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL ??? Check out all the deals from our incredible sponsors here! --> https://womensmeditationnetwork.com/sponsors ???

Become aware of its gentle presence. LONG PAUSE As you find the connection with the night, breathe into it, allowing the stillness to flow in and all around you. LONG PAUSE Feel the stillness expanding, Bringing with it peace and tranquility. Peace and tranquility to rest in you and around you.    LONG PAUSE Now, visualize a spark of light above your head. It?s golden-white, and full of energy, and it radiates  just above your head. PAUSE Take a pause and just watch the light, as it twinkles and dances. After a few moments, you notice it?s growing: The spark has formed a beam, a golden-white beam that radiates from your head. PAUSE Take a deep breath, and focus on the beam. As you do, observe how it grows taller and wider. Soon, the top of your head is aglow with this beautiful light? a light that reaches toward the heaven. PAUSE   After a few moments, the light begins  changing colors. Purple, blue, green, orange, red and yellow. A kaleidoscope of colors shines from your head to the heavens.  PAUSE Now, breathe in again. until you feel that  radiant beam of color really become part of you. Part of your mind.

Then, it becomes steady. PAUSE As you imagine gazing at the light from your chest, a feeling of warmth  comes over you. Warmth and contentment. PAUSE Breathe into the light, and observe how  it shines brighter and brighter, and you feel more contentment, more warmth? More Love. PAUSE         As the light intensifies, an incredible, unconditional love spreads through you. It?s calming, relaxing, and filled with  natural beauty. It opens from you to the entire world. Allow yourself to really feel the Peace? and Beauty? and Joy that this love brings. PAUSE Now, breathe deeply again, Slowly, Deeply. And visualize the brilliant beam of light from your head, and from your heart. See them shining with love and peace. Feel the calm and contentment they embody. Breathe these into you. Welcome these into you. PAUSE And, as you continue breathing in this pure beauty and love, know that you are a conduit for this day and night. So, let your body and your mind drift off to sleep, For while they do, your inner light will brighten, and shine for you and  those around you when you awaken.  NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL ???

LONG PAUSE Now, allow yourself  to feel a wave  of relaxation, starting at your toes and moving slowly through all of your body. LONG PAUSE Take another slow, deep breath, and feel the wave of relaxation rolling over you once again. Embrace the relaxation.    LONG PAUSE Now, see if you can visualize Standing by a sapphire lake. There are rocks jutting out from the sides, and green water grasses wafting in a breeze. PAUSE A black water bird skirts across the top of the water, Then dunks its head beneath the surface to catch a tiny fish. PAUSE Dragonflies dance in the air, every once in a while, alighting on a lilypad or blade of grass. PAUSE Breathe in gently, and notice the tranquil feeling  You have just standing  and watching nature softly hum in and around the water. PAUSE Now, imagine if you can, notice a pool of bubbles forming in the middle  of the lake. PAUSE   Over time, the bubbles seem more intense  as they rise out of the water. and, as they do,  they turn to white water that cascades back into the lake. PAUSE The bubbles continue rising like a 360-degree waterfall. Then, slowly, the bubbles  fade away. PAUSE Now, take a deep breath, and imagine, if you can, the silhouette of a woman  appearing in the middle of the lake. She glistens in silver and radiates her glow like the sun. PAUSE In a few seconds, she sees you, and a wide smile crosses her face. She extends her arm, welcoming you to join her. PAUSE Without a second thought, you step onto the water. It supports you fully, as you walk toward her. PAUSE When you reach her, she folds her arms around you in an airy hug. You feel her total acceptance. PAUSE         Then, after a moment, you and the water goddess sink into the lake. You are totally safe and comfortable. PAUSE Beneath the surface,  you breathe easily and walk with the goddess effortlessly. PAUSE As you stroll together, fish pause and seem to bow. The water goddess smiles and raises her hand in a gesture of peace. PAUSE A few moments later, you come upon a cave that glistens in silver like the water goddess. You know instantly that this is where the water goddess lives. PAUSE As you enter the cave, you see gleaming muscle shells  lining the walls and glistening like gems. PAUSE   The goddess beckons you to sit in a large clamshell lined with the softest grass. You nestle comfortably in the grassy chair. PAUSE Moments later, the water goddess speaks. but her words come telepathically, not verbally. and in seconds,  she conveys to you the story of her life. You feel imbued with her knowledge. You feel imbued with her peace. PAUSE She speaks again telepathically, this time sharing all she knows about your life. You feel comforted  that she knows and fully accepts you. PAUSE Time passes, but not in a linear fashion. You become aware that you have no idea how long you?ve spent with the goddess. The goddess recognizes this and smiles. She thanks you for visiting and expresses her hope  that you will share her knowledge of the water with others. PAUSE Then, with a wave of her hand, a current of water carries you out of the glistening cave, through the lake, and back to shore. You arrive on the bank of the lake completely dry. PAUSE ???

Allow that awareness to  Help you relax, Let go, Be open. LONG PAUSE Keep breathing, And staying in the present. Let your mind and body Find peaceful balance. Find pure relaxation That melts you into your bed. LONG PAUSE Now imagine? Floating on the wings of a heron, Across a rose-tinged sky, With the sun bursting forth in morning light, While you glide by. PAUSE And on the wings of this heron,  Into a frothy marsh you land, With black cattails waving in unison, Like a Japanese fan. PAUSE And a fish breaks the silence, Bubbling up against the surface, While you breathe into space, And wonder about your life?s purpose. PAUSE The heron turns to you while sitting on his back, With a spark of understanding shining in his eyes, And you know in that instant that This unique bird gets you and is wise. PAUSE Then, The bird stands straight and lifts its great wings, And you hold on gently, With deep care, As you rise, Rise high into the air. PAUSE The sun beams full and warm, Like toasty kisses against your cheeks. And after a long silence, You breathe deep, And decide to speak. PAUSE ?You are a great blue heron, like royalty in the air. And when you pause near other fish or fowl, It?s like they bow. ?But what magnificent heron are you doing with me? You could be doing anything, Anywhere else, With your grace and majesty.? PAUSE And, the beak of the blue heron shot up and pierced the air. And he let out a shrill squawk, Like the cry of an animal, Before he was ready to talk. PAUSE And then in a voice like the gentle ripples of a wave, The bird began to softly sing and then talk, And somehow, It was okay. PAUSE ?To know your purpose and who you really are, Let go of the thoughts that Lock you behind bars.? ?Instead, let your heart soar like you?re flying with me. Sail over hilltops and valleys, mountains, oceans and more. And then land in peace and gratitude, Eager to know what else is in store.? PAUSE Then, the heron takes flight again With you in tow, And you perch on a tree branch, Above the water below. PAUSE And while he shakes his feathers and squawks aloud, You?re relaxed and comfortable and dust off yourself, And embracing his words, You smile in peace and ask,?What else?? PAUSE Between his beak, it seems the heron is smiling, Like a show of approval from a teacher to a student, It?s as if you?re arriving. To the place you want to be in your life, Filled with peace and relaxation. It?s yours to create. You need no explanation. PAUSE So, let go of the doubts, And the doubters, The excuses and more, Remember. Embrace this: it?s your time to soar. You don?t have to wait, To create your thing. Just breathe in peace And spread your wings. NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL ??? Check out all the deals from our incredible sponsors here! --> https://womensmeditationnetwork.com/sponsors ???

Allow your body to let go, to just melt into the bed. LONG PAUSE Now, imagine if you can, a great horned owl, perched majestically  on a tree branch outside your window. PAUSE As you look at the creature, You see the seriousness in his rich black eyes, and also the calmness. PAUSE As you gaze at him, a feeling of protection unfolds around you. you feel safe with the guardian of the night standing sentry near your room. PAUSE After a moment,  a full moon  peers out from behind a sea of clouds. The owl, his tree, and the entire world are bathed in silver light. PAUSE As you watch from the window, The owl spreads his wings, hoots, and comes to the window sill. In a moment, the great owl?s wings wrap gently around you, until you?re hoisted onto its back. Together, you both take to the sky. PAUSE Secured safely in the feathers of the owl,  you soar toward the moon, toward the millions of stars dancing in the night. PAUSE You can see the moon reflecting in the owl?s eyes, as you skim the tops of tall pines in a forest. Tonight, you are both guardians of the night, children of moonlight. PAUSE Then the sea whispers to you, In between each roll of her waves.  What does she say? PAUSE After a while, the owl sinks into the trees, and lands on a large limb, overlooking a lake. PAUSE The lake shimmers with the moonlight skipping upon it, and a few fish bobbing up and down. At first, you think the owl will swoop down and scoop up a fish, but the guardian stays still. And waits. PAUSE Many moments pass, But then you hear it. Another hoot in the distance. Another great horned owl approaches. PAUSE Moments later, the second owl lands on the branch, and a chorus of hoots ensues. PAUSE At first, the music of the owls is a language not known. Then magically, their hoots transform Into words, and you become privy to their conversation. PAUSE The two protectorates of the night talk back and forth about their duties, and how to keep the forest safe. Then, just as quickly as it began, the conversation ends, and the second owl takes to the sky. PAUSE Many moments pass, and then the great horned owl hoots again. only this time, you understand. you are on your way home, back to the comfort of your bed. PAUSE The bird lifts its wings, and together you fly in the moonlight, steadily gliding into the night?s thin air. Landing on your window sill,  the owl bends over  as you gently slide off its back. As you walk to your bed, you give a turn and one more look. There, perched in the tree, is your guardian of the night ready to watch over you, and keep you safe, as you dream. NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL ???

PAUSE? We all know your heart?s in the right place, That you want what?s best for all. But deprivation just can?t get you there. It just doesn?t have the power. PAUSE? Instead you need indulgence, At least every now and then. You need to see yourself as worth the effort, And make time to see it through. PAUSE? Feel the new energy in your body, The burst that happens when you feed your soul. Sink into the safety of fullness, And let yourself rest there. PAUSE? Imagine how beautiful you look now, Shining with the glow of abundance. Enjoy the warmth coursing through you, Flavored with love and gratitude. PAUSE? So many things feel possible now, So many ideas come forth. It?s hard to know how stunted we are, When we?re just holding on for dear life. PAUSE? But that isn?t you anymore. You?ve asked for what you need. And because those you love truly love you back, What you asked for came to be. LONG PAUSE? Inhale and know you?re part of something bigger than yourself. Exhale with thanks for those who care, those who catch you when you can?t. PAUSE? Think of this as a wakeup call, A reason to make a change. Feeding ourselves is a necessity, Whether food or love or peace. PAUSE? Though change can?t happen overnight, You can do it need by need. Check in with yourself regularly, And pay attention to what you crave. PAUSE? You?re not taking anything from others, When you choose to feed yourself. Instead you?re multiplying what you give, By starting from a place of health. PAUSE? If anyone in your life disputes this, Give that bond some thought. Love is not meant to starve our hearts, But instead to make them swell. LONG PAUSE? ??? Check out all the deals from our incredible sponsors here! --> https://womensmeditationnetwork.com/sponsors ???

PAUSE? Come inside, Deep into yourself, And surrender to the gentle rhythms of your breath.  PAUSE? In,  And out, Collecting the pain on your inhale, Releasing it all on the exhale.  Breathe in, Breathe out.  LONG PAUSE? Just like a flower needs water and sunlight to bloom, Your soul needs nourishment and rest to shine. PAUSE? So take a big, deep breath, And as you exhale, feel your body relax. Release all the tension from your body, And allow yourself to sink deeper into this moment of stillness. LONG PAUSE... Beyond the noise and chaos of the world,  Deep inside your soul, Lies a space of pure light and love. PAUSE? It belongs to you and only you, It?s created by you, And comes from you.  Your radiance.  Your essence.   PAUSE? Let yourself drift towards this this light, Where all is peaceful and serene. PAUSE... Reach for it,  And embrace it, The beauty of your true essence. It shines bright and strong. Breathe in the power of your own light,  And feel it expand. LONG PAUSE... Let your light heal what is broken, And all that is gray.  Watch it dissolve as your light grows. PAUSE? Let yourself be carried by the gentle breeze of your own intuition. Allow it to guide you towards your highest purpose, And the fulfillment of your dreams. Ride upon the waves of your own inner strength,  And know that you are unstoppable. PAUSE... Breathe in deep,  And feel the power of your radiance. Let it fill you up and lift you higher,  Until you are shining like the sun. Namaste, Beautiful ???

Close your eyes and try to see, What could happen if you rearranged it. PAUSE? It?s so incredibly easy, To walk the same footsteps day to day. To follow the path we?ve followed before, Because things are simpler that way. PAUSE? But is simple what you really want? Does ease set your soul on fire? Or might you wish for something more, If given the chance to aim much higher? PAUSE? Is there an idea tucked down deep in your soul, A picture of what could happen. If you let yourself step way out of your box, And lived what you imagine? PAUSE?   Where did that idea come from? Where you young and hopeful and brave? Did it spring to life before you knew How to just give in and behave?  LONG PAUSE? Take a breath and see yourself, so innocent and sweet. Release the breath and remind yourself the quest is incomplete. PAUSE? You wanted something way back when, And it seemed so right for you. Why should that desire have to disappear, Because the world demands its due? PAUSE? There must be a way to be who you must, While also living as you please. There must be a way to listen to your heart, While also serving life?s needs. PAUSE? If you?re looking to shift your perspective, To see things in a completely new way, The change can start with a single step, And the change can start today. PAUSE? Think about your usual window, The one you look out the most. What sort of view would you rather have? Should it be mountain, desert, or coast? LONG PAUSE? Inhale as you picture a magical scene, one that makes you glow inside. Exhale and promise to take yourself there, to be your own tour guide. PAUSE? Or maybe the change isn?t a place. Maybe it?s a calling instead. Perhaps you need to find your purpose, A goal to serve both heart and head. PAUSE? When our lives don?t line up with our dreams, When we feel forced to choose, The choice can break us right in half, And leave us feeling abused. PAUSE? Instead we need to find the point, Where all our needs align. We need to find the authentic path, A life of our own design. PAUSE? So dig into your yearnings, Find the wisdom of your spirit. Learn what the universe has been planning for you, Let yourself finally hear it. LONG PAUSE? Breathe in and imagine that very first step, the one that starts the journey. Breathe out as you watch yourself take it, knowing you are worthy.   Namaste, Beautiful ???

Just a few clicks makes it easy for you to listen on your favorite podcast player.  Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium On some level, we all understand, That structures crumble without solid footing. But how much do we think about, The strong foundation we need inside? PAUSE? Close your eyes and check in with yourself, Try to see how you?re holding up. Are there cracks in your underpinnings? Do you feel tremors now and then? PAUSE? We don?t all start out on solid ground, Some get more support than others. And then when we?re tasked with building our lives, We forget to ask if we?re ready. PAUSE? We assume we have all that we need, And the world around us expects it. But we never know just how much that is, Until we?ve already started building. PAUSE?   By then, it?s easy to decide, That everything will probably be fine. We might travel years down the road, Before worries creep into our minds. LONG PAUSE? Inhale deep, down to your core, and let your essence surround you. Exhale and feel the answers come, rising as you need them. PAUSE? Once uncertainties fill our minds,  The cracks are already there. But cracks don?t mean the house will fall. Instead they?re reminders to take a peek below. PAUSE? Just like maintenance for your house, Your soul needs tune-ups too. We need to know of creaks and shifts, Of changes at our center. PAUSE? Sometimes the act of checking in,  Is all the process requires. Other times, there?s work to be done, Tasks that cannot be ignored. PAUSE? Some fixes may call for brand new tools, While others are familiar. Your soul will tell you what it needs, If you just ask the question. LONG PAUSE? Inhale and sink deeper into knowing, see just what you need. Exhale as insight finds you, believe in the growth it promises. PAUSE? Fear often comes when we do this work, But know that it?s an illusion. There?s nothing to fear from your deepest self, And it will never leave you forsaken. PAUSE? Evolution must be a collaboration, A continuous project of growth. If you tend the framework regularly, Your spirit will do the hard work. PAUSE? But if you let it fall into disrepair, If you look away when it calls you, You cannot move toward serenity, And your to-be-fixed list simply grows. PAUSE? Instead, why not stay on top of the job? Why not give it consistent attention? That effort will yield an unshakeable foundation, And a beautiful home for your soul. LONG PAUSE? Breathe in and picture the dwelling you?ve built, the perfect space to thrive. Breathe out with certainty as you tell yourself that dwelling will soon be yours.   Namaste, Beautiful ???

Just a few clicks makes it easy for you to listen on your favorite podcast player.  Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium Tonight?s meditation will help you feel good at the end of your day.   To be in mindful awareness of your thoughts and your body. To let your breath relax you for a night of deep rest. And to shift your attention onto all the things that make you feel good rather than on those that darken your mood, as you ease into sleep. Let?s begin by settling into a comfortable position, Closing your eyes and taking your first deep breath in. Let your belly expand as far as it can with all that oxygen, And release your breath out through your nose.   Take another deep breath in,  Filling your belly with just a little bit more air than before, And when you can?t breathe in anymore,  Exhale it all out.  And one last deep breath in,  Imagining the air coming in cleansing your body, cleansing your mind, And letting it all go as you breathe out. Now bring your breathing back to its normal rhythm. And just take a moment to feel into your body.  Noticing it rise and fall with the motion of your breath. Noticing if you feel any lightness from increased oxygen. Noticing if you have any kinks or tension you need to release. PAUSE? Bring your awareness to your breath. Notice how good it feels to breathe in and out, How the air can make your body tingle ever so softly with life, How the rise and fall of your chest creates a relaxing rhythm for your body, How each breath in is a renewing moment. And say a silent thank you to your body for doing this work for you as you relax it deeper into your bed. PAUSE? You may notice thoughts coming up. And if they do, imagine that any of those thoughts or emotions that are heavy with stress or worry or fear begin to dissolve with every breath out, Vanishing into the space around you, And releasing their hold on you. Watch them dissolve as you breathe them out.  PAUSE... Now notice if there are any thoughts or emotions that come up that make you feel good. Imagine yourself placing them into a beautiful basket beside you. Maybe you see yourself placing thoughts about your healthy body in the basket,  Or the work you do, The people who bring joy to your life, Or even the events that took place today that brought a smile to your heart.  Place them in that basket and imagine a smile widening across your face as you do.  PAUSE? Feel the calm happiness inside of you as you look at your basket. This pile of goodness that warms your heart and reminds you of all the blessings in your life.  Breathe them in, And surrender deeper into your bed, deeper into the arms of sleep.  PAUSE? This moment is a gift.  No matter what happened today, No matter what tomorrow brings. This moment right now, this breath, is a miracle.  And you are pure magic, A being of love and light who is flooded with blessings. So relax and surrender to the night,  As you swim in the goodness of it all. Sweet Dreams, Beautiful ???

Just a few clicks makes it easy for you to listen on your favorite podcast player.  Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium Give your body the gift of a nighttime stretch tonight, so you can melt into deep relaxation and ease into sleep. So settle into your bed, positioning yourself as comfortably as you can on your back. Take a moment to cover yourself in your blankets if you like,  And then allow yourself to simply lay still for a few moments, As your attention shifts from all the outside noise of the day, To the calm inside your breath. PAUSE? Feel your body relaxing further with every breath, As the warmth of your soft bed pulls you in deeper, Deeper, Deeper.  PAUSE? Now slowly bring your attention to your arms, And slowly extend and stretch them in any direction that feels comfortable for you. Stretching them long as you feel your muscles expand, holding it for just a moment. And then release the stretch,  Allowing your arms to settle deeper into comfort. PAUSE? Now bring your attention to your neck, And slowly drop your head to one side, feeling the stretch on the side of your neck as you do. Breathe into the stretch, staying with the pull of the muscles, And release. Drop your head to the other side, stretching the other side of your neck, Imagine that muscle stretching and relieving any pain or tension it does, And then release,  Bringing your head and your neck back into a deeply relaxed and comfortable position. PAUSE? Now let your attention fall upon your face, As you open your mouth wide, stretching out the muscles in your cheeks, mouth and forehead. Keep expanding the stretch, feeling the muscles release the weight of the day, And then release,  Relaxing your forehead, face, cheeks and mouth,  As they melt into your pillow.  PAUSE? Now for the last stretch, reach your hands up above your head and stretch your legs out as far as you can, Pointing your toes and opening your fingers,  Imagining your body being pulled from the top and bottom as your body expands. Feel the stretch align your spine, And release any pieces of stress or tension stored in your body. And release,  Feeling the rush of calmness in your body, As you allow yourself to now settle into your favorite sleeping position. PAUSE? Breathe. If there?s any more tension or pain in your body, Breathe it out through your exhale.  And then surrender further into the comfort of your bed. Breathe and release. Breathe and relax.

How long has been since you sat with yourself, With no one else around? PAUSE? Take a deep breath and close your eyes, As we seek that quiet once again. It?s time to see what?s changed within, Since the last time you checked in. PAUSE? There?s so much energy around us, From people and their devices and machines. And though we need these things a lot of the time, They?re not necessary as much as we think. PAUSE? Once we let these distractions into our lives, It gets harder and harder to say no. And once we stop making space for the quiet, We forget that we need it at all. PAUSE?   It?s so easy to get caught up in the hum of it all, To go with society?s flow. But when we start to crave that hum over other things, It?s a sign we might need to let go. LONG PAUSE? Inhale and pull peace deep into your body, hear only the sound of your breath. Exhale and assess how much calmer you feel, as the peace flows from cell to cell. PAUSE? The answers we seek from those around us, Can be both helpful and not. But the answers we seek from our spirit Are always on the mark. PAUSE? There?s certainly value in connection. No one wants to figure out life all alone. There?s another sort of connection, though, And it?s older and wiser than most. PAUSE? This connection doesn?t need wi-fi. It runs without battery or plug. It only requires your commitment, And a willingness to both listen and hear. PAUSE? And unlike so many other platforms, That tend to steal away pieces of you. Your silent connection to spirit Returns what?s lost as it pays dividends. LONG PAUSE? Take a deeper breath this time, sink deeper into the quiet. Send your distractions away as you exhale, leaving your mind clear and ready. PAUSE? Ideally, we?re looking for balance, A way to thrive inside and out. But until you know how much is too much, It?s too hard to make the call. PAUSE? So take a little away from the world, A peaceful respite now and then. Pay attention as the feelings and thoughts bubble up, And look for the messages they hold. PAUSE? If you struggle to find their meaning, Sit with your questions for a while. Use the clear, quiet space to sort it all out, And lean into what makes it okay. PAUSE? Trust what your inner voice tells you, Now that you?ve given her a chance. She knows what you need before you do, And her signal is constantly strong. LONG PAUSE? Breathe in as you imagine a grounded new you, hopeful, inspired, and at peace. Breathe out with the knowledge that you know what to do, now that you?ve tuned the dial. Namaste, Beautiful ???

PAUSE... But when you feel quite drained, Your spirit yearns for retreat, A place to rest and renew, And let your soul just breathe. PAUSE... You find your haven in nature, Where the earth and sky unite. With soft green grass beneath your feet, It all just feels so right. PAUSE... You close your eyes and hear the sounds, Of rustling leaves and birds, Release the tension you?ve been holding, Let go of your worries and hurt. PAUSE... Inhaling deeply, you smell the scents, Of the earth, the flowers, the grass. Your senses are fully awakened, You embrace this moment to last. PAUSE... As you lie down on the ground, The earth supports your weight, You let yourself surrender, Into a calm and peaceful state.  PAUSE... With each exhale, release the stress, And let your body ease. Feel your breath become steady, And surrender to the breeze.  LONG PAUSE... In this space of stillness, You find a strength so deep. Renewed, refreshed, and ready, It almost makes you weep.  PAUSE... In these moments of rest, You hear your voice inside. You?re reminded of your purpose, And know that it will guide. PAUSE... Slow down to speed up,  Rest and renew right now. I promise you?ll find joy, If you just stop and allow.  PAUSE... Slowing, slowing, slowing down, Each breath fills you more.

The thing that matters most? The thing that makes your life worthwhile, And encompasses all of your hopes? PAUSE? It?s different for each one of us, Whether a concrete or intangible thing. It?s the essence of what we hold sacred, The reason our hearts can sing. PAUSE? For some of us, it?s our children, Those precious, angelic gifts. For others, it?s our parents, The souls who allowed us to exist. PAUSE? Others live to love their pets, The animals who brighten their lives. And many more live for their art, Their creations helping humanity to survive. PAUSE?   So what is the thing that lights you up,  That makes your existence worthwhile? What eases your load and keeps you striving, No matter how challenging the trial? LONG PAUSE? Take a breath and picture it, the gem in your heart?s crown. Release the breath with gratitude, giving thanks for what you?ve found. PAUSE? Think about the peace this gift gives you, The joy and satisfaction. Think about what it adds to your days, The way it guides the laws of attraction. PAUSE? We would likely do anything, To hold on to this gift. To keep it safe and well and strong, To protect and watch over it. PAUSE? What does it do to your body, When you give it your full focus? Does it warm your heart, or stir your mind, Or just give you something to trust? PAUSE? The things that make us joyful, Also give us strength. They remind us what to hold onto, And what to keep at length. LONG PAUSE? Inhale and pull the power of love inside. Exhale and vow to share the best you can provide. PAUSE? Whatever you choose to give the world, And whatever it gives you in return, The impact grows in both directions, Because of the love lessons you learn. PAUSE? So your vision is important,  The treasures you see have meaning. And the sights you end up holding most dear, Are proof the universe is intervening. PAUSE? It points us to our greatest good, To what we?re meant to give. It rewards us when we zero in, And find purpose as we live. PAUSE? Acknowledge your blessings, dear one. Feel them with you at every step. Build your world around what you love, And know there?s always more you can accept. LONG PAUSE? Breathe in and pull your priorities close, the gifts that shape your life. Release that breath on a wave of love, and prepare for more gifts to arrive.   Namaste, Beautiful ???

Think about what it takes to rise, Beyond the world we see. PAUSE? Let a bird be your inspiration, No matter the color or size. It?s their freedom we hope to replicate, Their wildness, the ultimate prize. PAUSE? Imagine if you were gifted wings, The choice to take to the skies. To flap your way across the beautiful blue, As higher and higher you rise. PAUSE? Would you go far, travel the world? Or stay close and rediscover your home? What sights call out to your curiosity? What journey inspires you to roam? PAUSE?   Would you fly over all, just taking it in, Or would you dip lower to see? Is the flying itself the greatest joy, Or are there things you must view to believe? LONG PAUSE? Take a breath and imagine your voyage, the freedom to go where you choose. Release the breath with a smiling heart, full of the gift of adventure. PAUSE? What would it be like to simply take flight Whenever your heart felt the pull? You could go anywhere, see anyone, Take off when your daily life felt dull. PAUSE? Perhaps you might even spot a new home, As you?re darting around in the sky. A place that would comfort and soothe and inspire, While keeping you warm and safe and dry. PAUSE? You just never know what exists in the beyond, What lies waiting for you to fly over. The gift of wings could change everything, Pull all of your dreams even closer. PAUSE? And then there?s the unfamiliar feeling, Which must be simply wondrous. The drafting, the floating, the dipping, the soaring, Zooming and flowing between winds so blusterous. LONG PAUSE? Inhale as you picture yourself as free as the wind. Exhale the breath joyfully, let your spirit tumble and spin.  PAUSE? And perhaps, while you?re up there, You?ll encounter some friends. You?ll fly in formation,  Stay in sync as you ascend. PAUSE? Relying completely on the compass within, You?ll head where you?re intended to be. And when you arrive, you won?t be alone, For friendship is a guarantee. PAUSE? When the time comes to go back, Your group will gather around you. You?ll fly home altogether, Each one made stronger by the miles you flew. PAUSE? So now that you?ve envisioned All the pleasure flight brings, The next time you?re wishing, You might ask for wings. LONG PAUSE? Breathe in and imagine your gorgeous bird self. Breathe out and take with you sweet freedom itself.   Namaste, Beautiful ??? Check out all the deals from our incredible sponsors here! --> https://womensmeditationnetwork.com/sponsors ???

Just a few clicks makes it easy for you to listen on your favorite podcast player.  Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium Let it all float away, mama.  All those worries, concerns or stresses you may be feeling about whether or not you?re being a good mom.  All those judgements that may be coming at you - whether they?re from others or yourself...let them all go.  Even those quiet whispers that wonder how your kids will turn out as adults...let them go.  And instead, sit in this truth. You?re doing a great job, mama.   And you are a phenomenal mother.  And your little ones are so blessed to have you. No matter how many mistakes you make.   No matter how unique your style of parenting.  No matter how many times you?ve broken down. You are doing a great job.  So the intention of today?s meditation is to give you the space to swim in the greatness of your mothering. So you can embrace the beauty of its imperfection and honor yourself for showing up every day. Close your eyes and settle into a position that?s comfortable for you.   Slow your breathing down, Inhaling just a little more,  And exhaling just a little longer.  Feel the air come into the lungs and fill your belly.  Relax your cheeks,  Let your lower jaw release and let your tongue drop from the roof of your mouth. Lower your shoulders,  Soften your stomach, Relax your legs. Feel your body melting into your position.  And breathe. PAUSE? This time is for you mama.   To honor you.  To remind you that you are doing a great job. And that your kids are blessed to have you.  Breathe deeply, Exhale completely. PAUSE? I want you to imagine yourself sitting in your favorite spot in your home.   You feel so comfortable here. You are safe and cozy.   Take a deep breath in, filling your belly with air,  And as you exhale, relax yourself further into your favorite spot.   PAUSE? Now imagine that your child walks into the room. They?re 20 years older than they are now,  An adult in the world.  And they?re here in front of you, coming home to visit you, mama.  Notice what you see on your face as you look at your child. Joy. Pride. Gratitude. Intense love lighting you up. Your heart is full and you hear your inner voice whisper, you did a great job, mama. Notice your chest expand with air as you drink in the sight in front of you.  Your child is here,  Healthy. And authentically themselves. PAUSE? Notice that in this space of appreciation for the child you have raised,  As you watch your beautiful kid in front of you, There are no judgements.  No guilt.  No worries about your parenting or even about your child. They do not exist here.   All that exists is this incredible human in front of you. And a deep knowing in your gut that you have done a great job.  And you continue to do a great job.  PAUSE? Now take a deep breath in, inhaling oxygen deep into your body, Feeling it nourish and cleanse you, And breathe out completely, letting yourself sink deeper into relaxation. PAUSE? You will never be a perfect mom.  There is no such thing.  But you are the perfect mom for your child. And no matter how many missteps you may make,  No matter how much you second-guess yourself. You are a phenomenal mother.  And you?re doing a great job.  Let your inner voice continue to guide you through the terrain of mothering.  And trust that you are doing your best.  And that your parenting journey is yours to co-create with your child. Every single day.  PAUSE? ??? Check out all the deals from our incredible sponsors here! --> https://womensmeditationnetwork.com/sponsors ???

LONG PAUSE Continue breathing and holding a place of peace? A place of serenity and relaxation. LONG PAUSE Now, let your mind unwind. Let any tense or distracting thoughts Simply evaporate. Feel the peace as they disappear. LONG PAUSE Continue breathing, and now imagine stepping outside  on a cool, spring day. The air is a mixture of  warming sunshine and the last gasp of winter?s chill. PAUSE As you stroll, you notice tiny pockets of snow still dotting the ground, white tufts with green and brown life pushing through. PAUSE Green stems and buds  rise from the ground like sentires awakening from a fairy-tale slumber. They rise and reach toward the warming sun. PAUSE As you walk, a nippy breeze  catches in the trees, trembling them for a moment, and then returning them to strength and calm. PAUSE The branches of the trees are peppered with bud, some like green leaves: Others like tiny white flowers. When another breeze shakes the trees, the buds hold on eager for their chance to bloom. They won?t give in. PAUSE As you walk along, a flock of birds flies above. Some land in a tree near you, and begin chirping happily, buoyantly, as they make their way back from the warmer climes of the South. PAUSE You pause near the tree, listening to the chorus of joy, and noticing the beautiful red breasts of the birds, dancing between the branches. The robins are back. PAUSE A little farther down the path, water burbles, and you see the first flow of an icy stream  as the water melts.  PAUSE In the stream, translucent shards of ice still cling precariously  to rocks and branches. They soon give way to  the stream?s destiny. And the water flows. PAUSE A silver fish with a rainbow on its back, pops its head out of the water, then sinks back into the stream, darting in, out and around bits of ice. PAUSE The sun rises higher in the sky, beaming its warmth to you, and moderating the chilly breeze. You find a rock by the stream, and perch yourself upon it. PAUSE A pair of deer stop by the stream, dipping their noses in the water, and lapping it up with their tongues. They pause when they see you;  then scamper away. PAUSE While sitting on the rock, an enormous sense of peace fills you. With spring?s kiss, Nature awakens around you. You feel calm. You feel connected. You feel part of Nature at your core. PAUSE As your time at the rock comes to end, you stand and leave, feeling the ultimate peace, the ultimate connection to life. And you carry that back with you to embrace and share..

Just a few clicks makes it easy for you to listen on your favorite podcast player.  Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium Our former selves are ghosts to us, Still present but not really. Though it may seem like they?re past their use, In truth, their memory is a blessing. PAUSE? Close your eyes and see who?s there, Which versions of you still linger. Ask yourself where you all stand, If there?s anything you still wonder. PAUSE? Though we want to believe we shed those selves, When new understanding settles in, We actually move farther if we?re willing to embrace The messy past hiding within us. PAUSE? It?s not that we have to wallow there, Or relive what we?d rather not. But whatever they are, we are as well, And their scars have stories to tell. PAUSE?   If we don?t listen when they speak, Our present life just gets harder. For they know better than anyone else, What it takes to make us smarter. LONG PAUSE? Picture a younger version of you, hold yourself close as you breathe in gently. Prepare to listen as you speak to you, breathing out to make space in your body. PAUSE? What did she need that she didn?t find? What lessons did she teach you? Have you found what ?that? you lacked, Or are you still searching for answers? PAUSE? It may be daunting to look back this way, To see how much work remains. But taking stock reveals successes too, Showing you where you shine. PAUSE? Think of these selves like rings of tree, Their number growing as you age. And like those rings, they?re safely surrounded, By the growth you?ve toiled to achieve. PAUSE? They still exist like shadow selves, Appearing when circumstances demand it. But like the rings in the tree, or ghosts in the attic, They?re only glimmers of what used to be. LONG PAUSE? Inhale and accept the process, the ever changing shifts. Exhale and accept the necessity of keeping watch as you advance. PAUSE? At some point, you will all be friends, You?ll coexist gratefully. For they are pleased that you battle on, With the tools they crafted for you. PAUSE? The past is never quite what we think. Our memories let us down. But a sister-you never forgets a thing, And she?s there to cheer you on. PAUSE? So look more fondly on your past. Don?t fear what you have been. We all spend time in foolish places, Until we figure out where we belong. PAUSE? Even if you haven?t found that place,  The one that?s meant for you. Your early selves hold all the clues, And they believe in what you can do. LONG PAUSE? Breathe in as you take your ghosts by the hand, accepting what they offer. Breathe out and settle into their company, feeling more whole when you?re together.   Namaste, Beautiful ???

And let your body, unfold in peace with each breath. LONG PAUSE Now turn inward, and take a moment to express gratitude for all that is in your life. LONG PAUSE And while relaxing, let your heart and mind focus on you. This time is all about you. LONG PAUSE Imagine now, a tiny light opening in your center. The light is flowing with colors: White, yellow, orange, and red. PAUSE And, this light seems to form in an area of your body  that feels delicate, an area where you?ve  carried pain or hurt. PAUSE Yet, as the light shines, it absorbs the hurt, taking away the sting of the feeling. PAUSE The light glows, and after a moment, you understand that the light is really a tiny flame, a flame of energy. PAUSE The flame dances from side-to-side, and slowly begins to grow, giving off a feeling of strength, of power rising from the inside. PAUSE As it touches hurt, pain or grief, it swallows the feelings, leaving ashes that simply float away. It replaces them with strength. PAUSE Soon the energy flame has danced and grown all through your core, radiating pure strength. PAUSE As it grows,  there may be a part of you  that is hesitant? a part of you questions just how strong you are. PAUSE The flame invites you to embrace all of you. It whispers within that you have incredible strength? strength beyond your imagination. PAUSE And as the flame shines, it gives off more power. You notice that its edges begin to change, to fan out in different directions. PAUSE The flame transforms slowly until you notice what appears to be wings opening on each side and the shape of a head.  PAUSE After a moment, the shape evolves into a bird, a Phoenix, the bird of fire and power. PAUSE Now, imagine that this  beautiful bird of fire, this bird of strength and energy enfolds all of you  in its wings. PAUSE Then, slowly, you and the phoenix rise, lifting above the house into the night sky. PAUSE The air is cool, and you feel completely comfortable with this powerful energy carrying you higher. PAUSE Against the night sky, the fiery phoenix shines like a beacon of hope for you, glowing brighter than the moon and stars. PAUSE Then the phoenix pauses, and opens its wings. And as it does, you realize your arms are the fiery wings. You and the phoenix  are one. PAUSE Suspended against  backdrop of the night sky, you feel the blaze of energy,  the strength and passion of the phoenix as it courses through you, empowering you. PAUSE And with this bold, new energy, You, the phoenix,  glide back to your room, to a welcome bed. PAUSE As you land, the wings of fire fold inward, ready for you to  call on them again, at any time. PAUSE You understand that you are a phoenix, with great strength and power, and you can  rise from the ashes again and again. Nothing keeps you down. NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL ???

Your stomach churns, Your head spins, Every part of you is uncomfortable. PAUSE? It all feels so real, But take a deep breath? And you?ll see. That all this emotional discomfort. All this worry and anxiety and fear, Exists in the past and in the future. So breathe in deeply, And allow your breath to pull you here, Into the present, Far away from all of it.  PAUSE?

Slowly releasing their hold on your heart, And on your mind.  LONG PAUSE?
