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.

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.

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.

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 When’s the last time you sat in silence, Really felt it in your soul? 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.

Nothing was hidden from him, and it seemed as if news of the most secret things was brought to him through the air. But he had a strange custom. Every day after dinner, when the table was cleared, and no one else was present, a trusty servant had to bring him one more dish. It was covered and even the servant did not know what was in it. Neither did any one know, for the King never took off the cover to eat of it, until he was quite alone. This had gone on for a long time, when one day the servant, who took away the dish, was overcome with such curiosity that he could not help carrying the dish into his room. When he had carefully locked the door, he lifted up the cover, and saw a White Snake lying on the dish. But when he saw it, he could not deny himself the pleasure of tasting it, so he cut off a little bit and put it into his mouth. 💗💗💗 Check out all the deals from our incredible sponsors here! --> https://womensmeditationnetwork.com/sponsors 💗💗💗 Check out all of our other podcasts at https://womensmeditationnetwork.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium Amidst the chaos and the noise, The busyness of the day, You push yourself to keep on going, To keep up the frenzied pace. 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. Calming, calming, calming down, Tranquility’s in your core.

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 If you close your eyes, can you see it? 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.

Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium Close your eyes and relax your body, Let your mind float gently and free. 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.

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.

Place your own intention in your mind, PAUSE… And so it is, And so be it. PAUSE… Shift your awareness, To the top of your head. Feel your body heavy, Your arms and legs, Your front body and back body, Descend. PAUSE… Imagine your body is so heavy. It feels like you're filled with sand. At the base of your spine, Imagine a tiny hole. PAUSE… This sand slowly releases, Down and out, And away from your body. PAUSE… You are feeling lighter, And lighter. PAUSE… Your breath is soft. PAUSE… You begin to notice, The last few pieces of sand, As they drift away, Down and out, And away from your body. This tiny hole closes, And at the top of your head, A beautiful waterfall of light. This reiki energy rushes in, You allow this cleansing energy, And calming energy to flow, From the top of your head, And through your entire body. You now feel light. Like a feather.

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.

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.

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.

LONG PAUSE Your breathing naturally slows, and your body sinks gently into the folds of your bed. LONG PAUSE You keep breathing, becoming aware of your breath, and of the lightness of your body. It feels delicious. LONG PAUSE As you continue breathing slowly, comfortably, imagine yourself in a warm shower with the beads of water streaming down your back. PAUSE The watery massage relaxes you, and lets your mind, as well as your muscles, ease up naturally. PAUSE You put your head in the shower stream, and let the warm water droplets massage your scalp and neck. PAUSE After a few moments of relaxing in the steamy water, a vision appears. The steam of the shower transforms into mist of a forest. PAUSE You follow the mist in your vision, and it leads you to the edge of a lake. PAUSE Slowly, you tip your toe into the lake. The magical waters send healing ripples of energy Through you. PAUSE You descend into the lake, letting your body be enveloped in healing. PAUSE Each drop of water that touches you, renews you, restores your energy. PAUSE You gently roll onto your back, floating comfortably in the water. Your eyes scan the lush green forest circling the lake. You smile at the hidden gem of nature that has revealed itself to you. PAUSE Gazing up at the powdery blue sky, you see dozens of clouds like painted streams across a canvas. PAUSE Colorful birds fly in and out of the forest, chirping in joy and then soaring into the wispy clouds above. PAUSE A pink and green fish jumps, plopping into the water and sending bubbles to the surface like secret smoke signals. PAUSE In the distance, a mother deer and her fawn quietly lap up the water from the lake, then scamper off. PAUSE While floating on your back, you notice the sunlight filtering through the trees, each thread of light casting shadows of leaves and trees. PAUSE While gazing at the sunlight, two brown squirrels chase each other in the trees, causing the sunlight to shimmy and shake as it reflects. PAUSE Slowly, you paddle to the side of the lake where a large towel magically opens, waiting to embrace you. PAUSE The cushy towel folds around you, gently drying you and warming you, and you take moment to thank the lake and the forest for all their beauty. PAUSE You snuggle deep in the towel And close your eyes. When you open them again, you are home in your own bathroom wrapped in a towel. PAUSE And though your time at the forest lake has ended, the peace and beauty it brought rests comfortably inside you now and always.

Allow yourself to feel gentle lull of magic as it relaxes and enlightens you. LONG PAUSE Stay with the feeling of magic, as a welcome spell of serenity is cast upon you. LONG PAUSE Draw in another breath, And as you do, visualize yourself on horseback, on a snow white stallion, trotting through the forest in spring. PAUSE After a few moments, the horse slows to a walk, and then stops, as if taking in all the life of the forest. PAUSE A canopy of trees seems to part and opens into a vibrant green clearing with a large rock positioned in the center. PAUSE The rock is heavy with gray and white notches and valleys carved around it. Tiny sprigs of grass grow at its base. PAUSE The rock is surrounded By people, Men and women dressed in gowns, suits of armor and even the clothes of peasants. PAUSE Then, you notice something odd. jutting up from the stone is a sword, a gleaming silver sword. PAUSE “Here ye, Here ye!” calls a man with a long dark beard. “Whosoever can removeth the sword, becomes the next ruler of the land.” PAUSE The man continues, “Only the bravest, wisest and most loyal and compassionate will be able to remove the sword.” PAUSE Still seated on your steed, you watch patiently, as many good men, and even women, go to the rock, grab the sword with white-knuckled hands, and try to withdraw it. But the sword would not budge. PAUSE After a while, you dismount from the horse, lead her by the reins to a tree, where you gently wrap the rein around the tree. You pet her nose lovingly, and rub her neck, Before moving closer to the crowd. PAUSE Three others try their luck, but still, no one has retrieved the sword. you draw in a breath, deep and low, and then step forward. PAUSE “You?” says the man with the beard. “Aye,” you reply with confidence. “Very well,” he says. PAUSE You draw in another deep, stabilizing breath and approach the rock. Placing your feet against the bottom of the rock, you reach up, and with both hands encircling the handle of the sword, you gently tug. PAUSE Every so gently, the sword releases a few inches. gasps and claps rise from the crowd. PAUSE You nod to the crowd, and the reposition your footing. again, you reach and pull the sword. Again, it moves, slowly at first, until the rock releases it like butter. PAUSE Cheers and claps erupt from the crowd, as you raise the sword above. There is a power in the sword, an energy of magic. And you know that this is now yours. PAUSE The man with a beard comes to shake your hand and to place a golden crown upon your head. But it is the sword’s magic, it’s promise of power for good that moves you most. PAUSE You bow to the crowd, and then find your horse, mount her, and ride toward the sun, with a crown upon your head, a powerful sword in your hand, and magic in your heart.

LONG PAUSE Once you’ve found the perfect place in your bed, the one where you’re the most comfy, tune into yourself. LONG PAUSE And as you tune into yourself, you pick up delicate vibrations, like an antenna. LONG PAUSE The vibrations murmur within you, and soon, You feel your own vibration Connecting– Two frequencies aligning. PAUSE The vibration changes slightly, and with it, an image of a Victorian home lights up before you, and then gently draws you in. PAUSE Standing on the porch of the home, the door opens, inviting you into the home and into a feeling of love flowing. PAUSE The love envelopes you, creating a sense of welcome and a desire to learn more. PAUSE You feel comfortable and well received in the home, and a sofa with curled arms calls you to sit down. PAUSE You settle into the sofa, and in seconds, the house ignites with life– with couples dancing, laughter in the air, and champagne flowing freely in glasses. PAUSE You walk to the kitchen and are greeted by several women bustling about, preparing trays and trays of food. PAUSE The air is overflowing with the smells of fresh bread, sweet pies, roasted Chicken, and braised beef. PAUSE The women wipe their hands on their aprons, and turn to greet you for just a second. PAUSE Then, an older woman with gray hair, claps her hands, summoning everyone back to work. PAUSE As you leave the kitchen, one woman hands you a golden roll, fresh-baked in the oven. PAUSE The roll melts like butter in your mouth, and you savor every morsel even licking your fingers. PAUSE As you saunter through the house, you come across more rooms filled with people laughing, eating, drinking and dancing. PAUSE At the other end of the house, a pair of French doors open, leading you into a lavish garden. PAUSE Rows of daffodils, tulips and teacup roses, greet you with their striking colors and delightful aromas. PAUSE At the far end of the garden stands a young woman in an ornate bridal gown, of white organdy and tulle with drapes of lace. PAUSE Her face is aglow, as she gazes at the man who has just become her husband. PAUSE They both join hands and walk past you to a room where they waltz together. PAUSE As they pass you, they nod and smile, warmly acknowledging you as their guest. PAUSE After a few moments of watching the couple dance, something inside you lets you know your time at the wedding Is coming to a close. PAUSE You naturally return to the sofa sit quietly and wait, while the house returns to a peaceful silence. The men, women, and children fade into the twilight. PAUSE Yet, although the ancestors have left, their abundance of love and acceptance still permeates the air and in your heart. PAUSE And, as you walk out the door, you carry the love and acceptance with you.

Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium Breathe, sweet one, And follow the air inside. Let it slow you down, Let it be your guide. LONG PAUSE… The motion inside your head is fast, As scenes of your day come alive. And all the emotions that have been dormant, Are suddenly here to thrive. PAUSE… Your body hears the noise, And feels the vibrations in your veins. So you toss and turn in your bed, And frustratingly submit to the pain. PAUSE… But you don’t have to suffer, You can surrender to peaceful sleep. Just let go of the thoughts, And let yourself melt into the deep. The easiest way to start, Is to focus on your breath. Letting yourself follow it, Noticing its cadence, its depth. PAUSE… Then feel a warm glow, Gently soothe your head, Relaxing your eyes, Melting you into your bed. PAUSE… Let it move down your body, Your shoulders releasing with ease, Your chest, Your belly, Your hips, It warms you to your knees. LONG PAUSE… Soon the warm glow hums, Upon your beating heart. Here she begins to speak, There’s wisdom she wants to impart. PAUSE… Relax, she says, This day is done, There’s nothing for you to do. Let all those thoughts drift away, So sleep can replenish you. LONG PAUSE… You breathe in deep, And snuggle in, You’re free to dream at last. Nothing needs to be figured out, Those thoughts can easily pass. LONG PAUSE… Feel your body melt, And your eyes get heavy and calm. Relax even further now, Deep deep sleep is where you belong. LONG PAUSE… Goodnight, sweet one, You’re safe right now, The night holds you with care. Your mind is clear, And your body’s calm, Your dreaming is your prayer. LONG PAUSE… Sweet Dreams, Beautiful. 💗💗💗 Check out all the deals from our incredible sponsors here! --> https://womensmeditationnetwork.com/sponsors 💗💗💗 Check out all of our other podcasts at https://womensmeditationnetwork.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

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 Speak your desires aloud, And declare that they are yours. Your voice is gentle, yet stern. The Earth, she feels, The vibrations of your words. The cosmos respond in turn. PAUSE… Imagine your life, And the colors it could be, If you practiced the power of belief. If you stopped forcing, Doubting and stressing, Oh, imagine the relief! PAUSE… So rest deeply tonight, And declare what you want, The universe hears your cries. It may not appear, In the exact way you thought, But it still is bound to arise. So come inside to yourself, Let each breath bring you back, To the stillness that exists right here. This space that calms the soul, And eases your mind, And makes everything clear. PAUSE… There’s nothing to figure out, There’s nothing to do, You are one with the night. All the thoughts, Are fading away, Everything feels just right. LONG PAUSE… It’s here in this silence, That you can see clear, The way the universe moves. That when you declare, The desires of your heart, The energy shifts and approves. PAUSE… This doesn’t quite mean, That immediately you’ll see, The picture you have in your mind. Hold your plans loosely, With an open palm, Surrender to the larger design. LONG PAUSE… Rest now, Sweet one, Release your hold of the day. Let go, fully now, Trust, And let the universe play. PAUSE… Sweet Dreams, Beautiful. 💗💗💗 Check out all the deals from our incredible sponsors here! --> https://womensmeditationnetwork.com/sponsors 💗💗💗 Check out all of our other podcasts at https://womensmeditationnetwork.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

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 Settle yourself, Finding a comfortable position that lets you relax. LONG PAUSE Turn your focus inward, Noticing your breath, And letting each healing breath, Touch any pain or tension lingering in you. LONG PAUSE Continue breathing in relaxation, And, if any stray thought crosses your mind, just visualize it floating away for now. LONG PAUSE Now, imagine, if you can, sitting by crystal blue river on a cool spring day. PAUSE The sun is glowing brightly. The sky is sapphire blue. And the trees are coming alive with tiny, colorful buds. PAUSE The air is a mixture of the sun’s warmth and the cool crispness in the breeze. It feels lovely lapping against your cheeks. PAUSE Pause in this beauty, and take it in through your senses. PAUSE And now, imagine, if you can, an area of bubbles popping in the center of the river. The bubbles fascinate you, as they grow bigger and bigger. PAUSE After a moment, the bubbles seem to come together, as if forming a shape. PAUSE And, as you watch, a beautiful woman, rises from the bubbles, into the air before you. PAUSE She is robed in white buffalo, with onyx hair gently cascading around her. An silvery ethereal glow shimmers around her. PAUSE The maiden draws closer to you. She nods. Instinctively, you nod, too. “I am the Spirit of the Water,” she says. PAUSE Then, the maiden Invites you to the water’s edge. You follow and kneel on the bank, and at her encouraging, gently make a whirlpool with your hand. “The water is alive,” she says to you. “Feel the life of the water.” PAUSE A tiny pulse charges through your hand, As you continue making whirlpools. Feelings of life and renewal surge through you. The water is alive. PAUSE Then, the woman drifts back to the center of the river. She looks to the sky and raises her hands. A soft drum beats in the background. PAUSE After a moment, A flock of birds arrives and drinks the waters of the river. They squawk and chirp, filled with life and energy. PAUSE Then a moose trots to the edge of the river, The tip of his nose nuzzling the life-giving water while his tongue partakes. PAUSE Moments later, The maiden raises her arms again. Within seconds, hundreds of colorful wildflowers bloom around the bank. Pink, yellow, blue, white flowers dot the landscape and send a pleasing, sweet aroma into the air. PAUSE A gurgling noise catches your attention. Gazing into the waters, you see dozens of fish gnawing on river grass and burbling. One jumps and wriggles in the air. PAUSE Then, the maiden draws close to you. She reaches into the river, cupping her hands, and offering you a drink. You accept and drink in the water. PAUSE As you drink, The life of the water, pulses through you, bestowing energy and power upon you. PAUSE The maiden nods to you, and returns to the center of the river, where a swell of bubbles brings her home to her water. PAUSE And, while you may not see her anymore, you feel her spirit, The water’s spirit, bubbling in you. And you feel the beautiful wildflowers opening with life. And the birds singing with joy. And the animals rejuvenating, All from the life of the water. The water is alive in you.
