The Isness of you is unveiled once the noise has settled, And the ego has left. PAUSE… She’s here, Calm and confident, Her roots deep in the soil of the universe. So breathe in deeply, And be one with her, The truth of who you are. Free from the chains wrapped around you from the world. Free from the judgements coming from your mind. One with the unique beauty of your isness. So breathe deep into your body, Following the air into your lungs,  Down into your belly, And all the way to your toes.  And then breathe out, All the way out, Releasing,  Relaxing,  And letting go.  PAUSE… Keep your attention on the air traveling through you, In, And out. Cleansing, Releasing. Calming you down, And letting go of the day. LONG PAUSE… Becoming one with the isness of you, Means you accept yourself completely.   Just as you are. Right here, Right now.  PAUSE… It means you release any judgements about who you are, And who you’ve been. Whether they are from others,  Or from you.  PAUSE… It means you love without condition, The darkest parts of yourself. And lovingly honor your brightness too. Embracing the magical mosaic that is you. PAUSE… So rest deeply now, And quiet your thinking mind, As everything that isn’t you…dissolves. PAUSE… The beliefs, The judgements, And the mountains of shoulds. They are grains of sands falling from you, One by one, Disappearing into the night.  LONG PAUSE… Imagine yourself here, Naked and safe, Whole and at peace. Free from the burden of needing to be anything you are not. Alive and real,  Burning bright like the stars. LONG PAUSE… The isness of you feels calm and clear, Expansive and light. PAUSE… Stay here with her, And let everything else float away tonight.

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 Close your eyes, and let yourself deeply, deeply relax. LONG PAUSE Focus only on relaxing. Let everything else go. Let tension go. Let stress go. Let distracting thoughts go. Watch as they lift away from you like a balloon in the sky. LONG PAUSE Breathe in more relaxation, feeling it spread serenity through all of you. LONG PAUSE Breathe again. Allow your body to let go, to just melt into the bed. PAUSE Now, imagine if you can, sitting on the banks of a river, just basking in the Warmth of the sun. taking in the smells of  nearby wildflowers, and listening as the water gently rushes past you. PAUSE You feel calm, peaceful, and relaxed. So, you stretch out on the bank, and allow yourself to rest. PAUSE Moments later, you feel the presence  of someone near, So you sit up. PAUSE At first,  you don’t see anyone. Then, your eyes catch a stately figure, dipping a clay jug into the water. PAUSE It’s a tall, slender woman, with skin like soft silk, And a draped robe of black, and gold, and red. PAUSE The woman kneels along the bank, and as woman dips her jug into the crystal blue water, she does so with delicate care. There is something almost sacred in her movements. They are like rhythmic dances. PAUSE The woman fills the jug to the top, taking care not to spill, and then gingerly stands  and lifts the jug  to sit on top of her head. PAUSE She balances the jug with her slender hands, and with a beautiful posture, sleek and straight. Then, she walks away. PAUSE Instinctively,  you rise and follow her. Running to catch up, you notice that  she literally glides across the land. Every step looks like she’s floating. PAUSE The woman stares straight ahead, committed to her mission. She barely notices you at her side. PAUSE As you walk,  you imagine the village where the woman  will take the water. But she walks  in a different direction. PAUSE Soon, you arrive at the meadow, teeming with the wildflowers you smelled by the river. PAUSE The woman removes the jug  From her head, And with a wave of hand, The water disperses  To all the flowers. PAUSE You watch, as a magical mist of droplets, descends on the flowers, giving them life. After the water, you notice the flowers seem brighter, With even more aromatic smells. PAUSE The woman gives a half smile  to the flowers, And begins walking again. PAUSE This time, she finds a forest of trees that welcomes her shower of  life-giving mist. Like the flowers,  they seem more alive after their bath. Greener and taller and stronger. PAUSE The woman gives a half smile  to the trees, And begins walking again. This time, she walks back to the river. PAUSE Sitting on the banks of the river, you gaze at the woman, who holds the jug over the water. Seconds later, the water from the river gathers, And rises in the air to take the jug from the woman. The woman turns to you, and gives you a half smile. Then she takes a step  on top of the water, before dissipating and turning into mist that disappears in the air.  PAUSE You lie back on the river bank And close your eyes again. You hear the water rushing, And feel its calm magic within you.  NAMASTE, 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 Gently silence your mind, and focus on the peaceful quiet blanketing you and your world. 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.

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 💗💗💗 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.

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.

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.

Letting go of All the tension  In your muscles, And any aches and pains. Just let them go. LONG PAUSE Take a deep breath, A cleansing, purifying breath, A breath that releases tension, And brings calm to you. 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.

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 💗💗💗 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Part of your body. Part of your spirit. Hold this beautiful space. PAUSE Now, gently shift your focus, if you can, to your heart chakra where you notice  A slender ray of light emanating from your heart. PAUSE The light pulses and shimmies, go in and out at first. 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 💗💗💗 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.

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.

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.

Take a deep breath, and let any tension in your body fall away. LONG PAUSE Breathe some more, And allow the stillness of the night To calm you. To relax you. LONG PAUSE Breathe again. 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.

How long have you been wishing That someone would notice your pain? PAUSE… We need to eat; it’s a fact of life. We need to nourish ourselves. But nourishment comes in many forms, What you need may not come from the shelves. PAUSE… What exactly do you hunger for? What would fill you up? What have you been missing out on? And how long have you gone without? PAUSE… The first step toward satisfaction Is to name the thing you seek. To see it and feel it and call it out, The Universe will see your technique. PAUSE… Think about why you’re in the back, About why you don’t speak up. What makes you feel less important, Than those you take care of? PAUSE… They need you to be healthy. They need you to be strong. They want to know that you’re okay, That you’re not just playing along. PAUSE… So what will you tell them when they ask, When they see that your shine has faded? How will you tell them to care for you? What yearning begs for urgent attention? PAUSE… How will it feel to get what you need? What will it change deep within? Will guilt rise up to steal your joy, And will you send it packing? LONG PAUSE… Inhale and fortify yourself with thoughts of your power and value. Exhale and liberate yourself from the thoughts that undermine you. PAUSE… Where does this hunger come from? What can it tell you if you listen? Is there something helpful and positive Hiding in its shadows? PAUSE… What’s the secret message, The thread that runs throughout? What can this empty space tell you, About the cost of going without? 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.

But it’s yours...and it is breathtaking.  PAUSE… So take a deep breath in and feel it work for you, Pulling in the oxygen you need to live, So effortlessly, And exhaling out all the days’ details as it relaxes into your bed.  PAUSE… Stay here for a bit, Observing your body as it gives you life through your breath. Feeling the refreshing air as you breathe in, And the calming release as you breathe out. PAUSE... Dear body, I love you.  Thank you for being here for me all these years.  Thank you for this breath, Its automated rhythm gifting me with life every second of every day.  Thank you for this skin, Its beautiful color, texture and gift of touch, And all the scars and wrinkles that tell stories of adversity, love and adventure.  Thank you for these legs, That have carried me with strength and love.  Thank you for all of my sexual and reproductive parts, That have given me pleasure and the ability to carry life.  Thank you for my stomach, And it’s ever changing shape.  Thank you for my breasts, No matter their shape or size,  Thank you for my heart, Constantly pumping life through my body.  Thank you for my shoulders and arms, Allowing me to carry and embrace people and things I love.  Thank you for my hands, As I express love and feel my world.  Thank you for my face...my eyes, nose, mouth and ears, And all the tiny marks and wrinkles that belong only to me. Thank you for my head, For the brain that enables my body to move, dance, fight, cry, laugh, think and feel.   Thank you for my my mouth, And the joy it feels as I savor the food that nourishes me. PAUSE... Thank you for my body, This amazing, miraculous body.  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.

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...

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 💗💗💗 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 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 💗💗💗 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 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.

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.

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.  Namaste, 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.

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 💗💗💗 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.

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 💗💗💗 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.

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 💗💗💗 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.

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 💗💗💗 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

But first you must let, All of it go, Your need to control every piece.  Let your jaw release, Let your eyes get heavy, Let your entire face just melt.

Close your eyes and focus on you, On the rest you truly need. PAUSE… Imagine a healthy, perfect leaf, Floating on the breeze. Any type, any shape, any size will do, Its beauty yours to define. PAUSE… Perhaps it’s a lovely maple leaf, Its shape reminiscent of a star. Or a gorgeous oak leaf, wide and graceful, With curves like river bends.  PAUSE… Perhaps your leaf is young and tender, Green and vibrant, silky to the touch. Or maybe you’re seeing a vivid fall leaf, A flash of dazzling color.  PAUSE… Think about where your leaf has been, The sights it may have seen. Imagine the view of life from the air, The feel of gliding on the wind. PAUSE… Your leaf may be one of many, Part of a soaring team. Or it may be drifting on its own, Happy to follow the breeze’s whim. PAUSE… Your leaf is like no other, Even though it resembles the rest. If you look closely at its edges and arcs, You see its special quirks. Use your breath to sink deeper into peace, to feel as free as that leaf. Imagine yourself with no restrictions or worries, the breeze your only guide. LONG PAUSE… Now that you have a leaf in mind, Let your thoughts turn to its tree. Even when floating on the wind, It’s tied to where it began. PAUSE… Whether that tree is near or far, The connection always remains. The leaf is part of a family, A history rising up from a common seed. PAUSE… From small beginnings, a vast tree grows, Adding branches throughout the years. The leaf is proof of the tree’s dedication, Its determination to survive. PAUSE… No matter which branch it stems from, The leaf is part of the whole. It may not be sure where it's heading, But it always knows where it belongs. PAUSE… Think about how you’re like that leaf, Singular and yet one of many. A beautiful, strong free spirit, Carrying the potential of countless others. PAUSE… Or perhaps you’re still attached to your tree, Fluttering softly on your branch. Providing shade and oxygen, To take care of all those below. PAUSE… It’s easy to feel like leaves are too small, To do much on their own, But when energies align for the greater good, Each piece of the whole has meaning. PAUSE… So whether you’re off making your own way, Or you’re sticking closer to the tree, You’ll always be part of where you started, Always tied to your true home. As you inhale, try to feel your connections, the ties that make you who you are. As you exhale, think of what your spirit adds, how your strength supports those bonds. LONG PAUSE… Let those thoughts add to your peace, Let them fill you with confidence and grace. Just like the tree you come from, Your life has purpose and power. PAUSE… Long before you came into being, Nature’s plan was set. You are a part of that intention, And when the time is right, you’ll act. PAUSE… For now, accept that you matter, That your existence was by design. Let the weight of that knowledge make your heart smile, Let it make your spirits rise.  PAUSE… Each of us has a destiny, A path we’re meant to follow. But like the leaf set upon the wind, Only our beginnings are pre-determined.  PAUSE… We’re given an origin story, A history to which we’re tethered. Then, either by choice or chance, We’re free to plot our own course.

LONG PAUSE And once you’re in that perfect position, become aware of your body in bed. Notice where your hands are, and what parts of your back, sink into the sheets. LONG PAUSE Feel your head, in the plush embrace of your pillow, and how deeply comfortable, it feels now. LONG PAUSE Take a minute, and just enjoy these feelings, these feelings of complete comfort, and total relaxation. PAUSE Now, imagine a road and a small car, and the road is narrow and winding, as it snakes its way, into some beautiful rocky hills. PAUSE And as your driving, you notice the steering wheel, iIs not where it normally is:  It’s on the other side. PAUSE And with that realization, another comes: You’re in the beautiful Scottish highlands. PAUSE You roll down the window, and breathe in, cool, refreshing air, noticing a blue sky, with puffs of cloud, sprinkled between the hills. PAUSE As the car drives on, you pass some sheep grazing, and you decide to stop. PAUSE The sheep welcome you, as you come, gently petting them, running your fingers softly, through their fleecy coats. PAUSE After a moment, you hear a collective, “Bah,” and somehow you understand: They are grateful for your visit. PAUSE Back in the car, you drive until you see  a small village sprouting up from the ground. PAUSE As you draw closer to the village, a stone church catches your eye. The church’s gray steeple cuts through the air, towering over the village, reverent, like in prayer. PAUSE You stop for just a moment to see the inside of the church, and are struck by the hundreds of candles flickering under statues and paintings of saints.  PAUSE The air is tinged with incense, and you realize the church  was in service just before  your arrival.  PAUSE You find a quiet spot on a pew, and say a prayer for peace, breathing in the calm and beauty of the little church. Then you return to the car to explore some more. PAUSE As you approach the outskirts of the village, a small tavern on a rocky hill catches your eye, and you stop to warm up. PAUSE Once you arrive, the distinctive sound of bagpipes playing hums in your ear– with notes thick like honey. PAUSE Inside the little pub, men and women sip pints in hand-crafted pewter mugs and laugh. Their cheeks are rosy from the cold air. PAUSE You order a drink and find a seat at a long wooden table where older men talk and talk, completely unaware of the bagpipes playing. PAUSE A woman with flowing red hair approaches you with a steaming bowl of soup teeming with fish, onions and potatoes. PAUSE The soup is warm and cozy, and you can feel it’s soothing heat moving from your mouth to your stomach, and it feels wonderful. PAUSE As you enjoy the last drop  of the warm elixir, you thank the woman who kindly served you, and bid her farewell. There is one more place to see. PAUSE You drive away from the pub into the countryside until a magnificent medieval castle springs from the landscape. PAUSE You stop and go in. The castle is cool, like a cave, and you pull your sweater  around you. PAUSE Throughout the castle are armors from ancestral knights, antique paintings, and chairs of wood or iron. PAUSE You find a room with fireplace and sit next to the burning flame. The warmth is welcome.

Close your eyes and take a breath, And clear all thoughts from your mind. PAUSE… You’ve been working so very hard, For hours and likely days. You go and go and go some more, Toiling in so many different ways. PAUSE… It’s easy to fall into a pattern, With no room for checking in. You see to the needs of so many others, And then forget to look within. PAUSE… Your heart is in the right place, Your intentions are the best. You don’t mean to neglect yourself, As you do so much work without rest. PAUSE… But the time has come to make a change, To turn your attention inward. Use this time, this twilight time, To recoup what’s been deferred. PAUSE… Start by being still and quiet, Let your body slow its pace. From mind to heart to muscles and cells, Give yourself some space. PAUSE… Listen to sound of your breathing, Tune into the gentle beat of your heart. Hear your body’s music, As you let the background noise depart. PAUSE… When you feel in touch with your rhythm, When you feel calm and serene, Let your mind drift where it wants, See what secrets are begging to be seen. PAUSE… Look at the things you’ve held out of sight, As you’ve rushed to keep up with the world. Look for what needs your attention, For the thoughts that have gone unheard.   Take a breath and savor it, enjoy the chance to breathe. Exhale that breath and feel release, the kind your body craves. LONG PAUSE… Think about what’s been missing for you, In recent days and weeks. Think about what fell to the bottom of the list, As the squeaky wheel got its grease. PAUSE… It’s only human nature, To respond to what calls your name. But when those calls never seem to cease, It’s your spirit that feels the pain. PAUSE… There’s a special kind of exhaustion, That results from over-serving. Once it starts, it’s tough to stop, And even harder to feel deserving. PAUSE… Though it may seem scary to make a change, It doesn’t have to be drastic. Instead of throwing things out of your life, You can try a softer tactic. PAUSE… Use this time at the end of each day, To bring your thoughts back to you. Choose a yearning that went unseen, And make a promise to see it through. PAUSE… Tune in to what your soul is whispering. Listen to what it’s prompting you to do. Imagine how it would feel to take a leap, To explore something exciting and new. PAUSE… Even more than the novelty, What matters is the choice. To hear what your spirit needs from you, Is the first step toward finding your voice. PAUSE… It takes quite a bit of practice, To make yourself a priority. But each tiny step has massive power, Each one gives more authority. PAUSE… Though life would have us ignore these clues, To do so takes a toll. Once you learn to consult yourself, You’re on the path to being whole.   Breathe in and imagine being whole, the fulfilled being you’re meant to be. Breathe out and know it’s possible, that you need only hear your own plea. LONG PAUSE… It’s all about getting started, About taking the time for yourself. To learn what you need and embrace it, Even when the world demands something else. PAUSE… If you’re truly honest with yourself, Much of what you need comes as no surprise. Whether a longtime yearning or a recent must, You’ve likely been ignoring the signs. PAUSE… Time just feels so limited, Growing shorter each day and year. It’s a difficult job to prioritize tasks, And your desire to do it all is sincere.

PAUSE… Breathe… And settle deeper into your sheets. Finding moments of stillness as your breath slows you down.  PAUSE… See if you can stay here, In these moments of stillness. These pauses between your breaths. And let the silence in these moments,   Allow you to hear the rain falling gently on the roof. LONG PAUSE… Let each drop soften you, Relax you, And melt you further into the night.

This is me, drowning in tasks, I need to come up for some air.  PAUSE… All of it swirls, all of it spins, And blends like waves in the sea. The older I get, the more that I love, The perfectly imperfect me.  I’ve spent too much time,  Wondering if I could, Change some things about me. If only I did this,  Or looked that that,  The world would see me differently. PAUSE… But time has taught me,  That each time I try, To be anything other than me, My soul slowly corrodes,  My light slowly dims,  And I can no longer see.  LONG PAUSE… I’ve been told I’m too much, My dreams are too big,  My scars should make me ashamed.  Turn down the volume,  And stay in your box, So we know you’ve been tamed.  PAUSE… But each scar I have,  Paints a tapestry, Of my life lived loud and free.  I won’t let you tell me, They’re ugly or wrong, I’m proud ‘cause this is me. LONG PAUSE… It rises within,  My deep sense of self,  And spills out onto the floor.  I’ll live my own life,  The way I see fit,  You don’t have a say anymore.  PAUSE… I know there are shadows,  Where pain and shame live,  The caverns hide so many things.  I’ll continue to explore,  The landscape within, Knowing the healing it brings.  PAUSE… This is me, my body, my mind,  Aligned and in love with my soul.  This is me, so take it or leave it. I am free, I am whole.  Namaste, 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.

Let it wrap in and around you. LONG PAUSE Now, let your mind surrender. Let go of all distracting thoughts. Let them float away like clouds. LONG PAUSE Stay with the peace and relaxation in your body. Just allow yourself to melt into your bed. LONG PAUSE Now, imagine, if you can, walking in the cool, crispness of the night. The air is clear, and your path is lit by a full moon and thousands of glistening stars. PAUSE And, as you walk, there is something comforting about the night, something peaceful and protective, like a child’s favorite blanket. And you embrace those feelings. PAUSE In the sky, the moon in its other-worldly glow is a steady light, silvery blue, with the shadow of a cloud  passing by, every now and then. PAUSE The stars wrap around the velvety night sky, like twinkling lights around a tree. Each tiny twinkle brings a greater sense of peace. PAUSE The night is loud in its silence. In a comforting, protective way, A way that lets you know you are safe in the silence. PAUSE As you walk, you notice the quiet shadows cast by the moon. Shadows of trees. Shadows of bushes. Shadows of you. You acknowledge the shadows with gratitude. PAUSE You inhale the breath of the night– feeling the coolness tickle your lungs, and smiling at the  scent of earth and foliage that ascend into your awareness. PAUSE There are no boundaries between you and the night. All parts of you are part of the night. PAUSE A tiny breeze breaks the silence, A breeze filled with whispers and secrets of the night. PAUSE The breeze teases you with… What has happened. What is happening. What will happen. All this knowledge is woven into the fabric of the night. All this knowledge is woven into your being. PAUSE After a moment, some rustling in the bushes breaks the silence. Out darts a fox foraging for food. PAUSE The fox pauses, looking at you, with the moonlight reflecting in his dark eyes. Then he scurries along, Knowing he is safe. Knowing that you are part of the night. PAUSE As you walk, water ripples softly  in the distance. You walk toward it;  Stopping at a tiny brook bubbling her truth  for anyone or thing that will listen. PAUSE You wait by the brook, fascinated by the  shimmering of light in the water. The moon and stars dance for you in the water. PAUSE You continue walking, with the cloak of night gently draped around you. With the peace of night securely in you. And with the mysteries of night moving you to know more. You and the night are one, Moving together in grace. Moving together in silence. Moving together in peace. Now. And always.

LONG PAUSE And as you hear your heart, shift your focus to connect with your body, and notice your mind and body are synching together and relaxing. LONG PAUSE Now, take a moment, and feel the calm of the night gently moving through you. Stay with this feeling. LONG PAUSE Now, draw in a breath, and envision yourself  catching sight of a moonbeam that finds its way in room dancing past the curtains. PAUSE It looks like a silvery slide, and as the curtains move, ever so slightly, so does the moonbeam, pulsing rhythmically like it was dancing the Charleston. PAUSE And as the moonbeam dances, you can feel the  shimmering pulse of its beat, a pulse that connects you with this orb of intuition, the moon. PAUSE After a moment, a vision of the moon appears before you, A sliver of light captivating you. PAUSE And as the slender curve of light  rests before you, there’s a feeling of  power that it brings. PAUSE It doesn’t matter that it’s just a moon in its early phase: It awakens intuition and awareness within you, powers that want to grow. PAUSE And then, imagine that  the suspended moon expands, so that half the orb is bathed in sterling light. PAUSE And as the moon grows to the first quarter phase, so do your desires to create. PAUSE Drawing in a breath, you see yourself writing, painting, sculpting, drawing, anything that taps your  creative, intuitive spirit, or potentiates growth, comes alive in you. PAUSE And as your creations, of thought and physical form blossom, so does your confidence. There’s a growing sense within  that you stand tall and feel empowered to take on the world. PAUSE The moonlight shimmies, and before you unfolds a stunning full moon, resplendent in its pearlescent glow. PAUSE As the moon dances, and illuminates the room, it casts the light of awareness in and around you. PAUSE You become aware that  the seeds of your creations are far-reaching and can impact others. PAUSE The full moon also lets you see what else you might want to do, the things you want to change, and how to make  what you want in the world better. PAUSE After shining brightly for a while, the moon wriggles and  some of its light dims. half of its light is gone, as it is now a third-quarter moon. PAUSE And despite the change in light, you feel inspired to take stock of your work, and implement some of the changes that the full moon has brought into awareness. Think about those changes. PAUSE Inspiration glows inside you and continues to move you, helping you become more aware and grow even more. You feel inspired and in charge of your life. PAUSE The moonlight pauses again, this time dimming back to  the sliver of light  it began with. This cycle is ending. PAUSE And with this phase, you feel a sense of accomplishment, a sense that your work, your creations,  were worth it. PAUSE You embrace this feeling and reflect on it, as it brings stillness and peace into your heart.  PAUSE And though the moon dims further until it bears no light, you feel its light shimmering, pulsing within you, and you know that the cycle will ignite again soon.

Tune in to its gentle, persistent beat, And let the rhythm pull you deeper within.  PAUSE… When your body feels fully grounded, Move your attention to your mind. Find the door to your imagination, Slowly open it and peer inside. PAUSE… Picture a place you’d like to go, Or even a long list of destinations. There are no limits to where you can go, When your dreams are leading the way. PAUSE… The places you choose may be real ones, Or they may be long-held fantasies. The only requirement is that they speak to you, That they promise adventure and delight. PAUSE… So settle on a spot that fills you with joy, Draw its outlines in your mind. Imagine the colors and shapes and smells, Let it come to life all around you. Take a deep breath and surrender, feel the magic start to build. Exhale and prepare to take a trip, to go where your wishes lead. LONG PAUSE… Perhaps those wishes live on a lush, green island, Surrounded by a misty blue sea. In the distance, a lofty treehouse awaits, While soft breezes beckon you closer. PAUSE… As your body soars toward paradise, Open your heart even further. Hear the birdsong, see the vibrant flowers, Become one with the tranquility of this place. PAUSE… Imagine landing gently on silky, pristine sand, Your feet settling into its warmth. See yourself walk into stunningly clear water, Gradually giving yourself to the waves. PAUSE… You lean back and float in the ocean, Drifting serenely under striking blue skies. You’re safe and at peace, completely content, Needing nothing but the beauty all around you. PAUSE… When you’ve had your fill of floating, Dry off with the help of bright sun. Make your way up to your treehouse retreat, Curl up and enjoy the leafy view. PAUSE… As you rest, your thoughts might wander, Imagining another lovely locale. Once again, the world is yours. You can go wherever inspiration takes you. PAUSE… Maybe you’re longing for rolling hills, Broad vistas dotted with trees. A warm, cozy cottage deep in the valley, Perched next to a bubbling stream. PAUSE… Ask your mind to take you there, To fly you where you long to be. Freedom is yours, especially now, When relaxation is what you need. Inhale and feel the joy of flight, of surging across the sky. Exhale and acknowledge the lightness in your heart, hope’s essence made real. LONG PAUSE… This time you land on velvety grass, A luxurious pillow beneath your feet. You stand and listen to the music of the stream, Let the water’s song fill your soul. PAUSE… All around you, the stunning landscape rises, Making you feel both small and immense. The core of you comes alive in this place, And your spirit grows tall and powerful. PAUSE… A delicate rain begins to fall, Refreshing you with its touch. You lift your face to the misty sky, Full of gratitude for nature’s welcome. PAUSE… Your attention turns to the cottage before you, Your heart longs to feel its embrace. You walk inside and build a fire, A bright blaze to make you snug and warm.

LONG PAUSE Let all the clamor  of the day and the responsibilities and stress fall off you like water and then evaporate. LONG PAUSE And draw in one more deep breath and let it go, centering on  your third eye, the space between your eyes. LONG PAUSE Now, envision walking on a hilly sidewalk in San Francisco with a brisk breeze nuzzling your cheeks. PAUSE On each side of you are glorious Victorian homes, in all pastels  like an artist’s palette. PAUSE Curling around the homes are gorgeous bay windows  that catch the sunlight, and where you see couples sit and chat and school girls read. PAUSE As you reach the top of the hill, you see ice blue water in the distance, and hear the sound of a cable car passing. PAUSE Children on the cable car wave to you,  and you marvel at  the young man who jumps off  and pulls the lever  to stop. PAUSE You board the cable car and find a seat on a brown wooden bench, just as a man calls, “All clear!” PAUSE Along the way,  the cable car stops at the  green dragon gates of Chinatown, and a group of  women board. PAUSE The women quietly chatter, oblivious to anyone else, their voices thick with vowel sounds that cut off quickly. PAUSE As the cable car comes to a stop, you get off and walk to the end of a pier where a herd of sea lions  stretches across the rocks. PAUSE The shiny black males bark and bob their heads up and down for emphasis. PAUSE While gazing at the creatures, a slender, tan female with dark eyes like magic pools catches your attention. PAUSE She lifts her head from a baby seal that is nestled close to her body and gazes directly at you. . PAUSE For a moment, you both watch each other, with a feeling of understanding passing between you. PAUSE A male calls for her, and the female returns  her attention to her herd, with her baby cuddling even closer. You can’t help but smile. PAUSE Now, imagine if you can, closing your eyes and being transported from the pier to Golden Gate Park. PAUSE As you open your eyes, you find yourself right in front of  the pagoda of  the Japanese Tea Garden. PAUSE Your eyes climb the five-storied tiers of the pagoda, each fanning out in a beautiful red.  PAUSE As you gaze at the beautiful structure, the energy of the pagoda seems to reach out to you, and fill you with heightened perception. PAUSE  An awareness of all  that is around you, the natural beauty of the trees and lakes and the tea garden itself, fills your being. PAUSE You draw in a deep breath and decide to have a cup of tea in the garden and bask in this incredible awareness of nature. PAUSE The tea, a warm lifeblood, streams into your body, soothing it. PAUSE After tea,  you meander through the park until you come to paddock with a small herd of bison, which you had heard lived in the park. PAUSE The great  chocolate and auburn creatures graze and snort until one with a tuft of fuzzy dark hair  piled on her head spies you. PAUSE The female stands  mighty and strong. Power oozes from her core,and she inspires awe in you.  PAUSE After a moment, the female bison approaches at a steady and deliberate pace, close enough to look at you with her dark, rich eyes.

Lift your thoughts up to the sky, Feel the sun’s warmth on your face. PAUSE… When our lives feel out of whack, Whether in heart, body, or mind, Few things make a difference, Like nature’s gentle hand. PAUSE… Picture your favorite place on earth, The outdoor space you love the most. Use your mind to take you there, Feel your body grow lighter as you approach.  PAUSE… Perhaps you’re seeing waterfalls, Or rocky cliffs with snow. Maybe you’re sitting on the beach, Watching dolphins swim to and fro. PAUSE… Perhaps you’re in a forest glen, Or a meadow full of flowers. It might even be your hometown park, Where you and your friends once played for hours. PAUSE… Focus on the feelings this place inspires, The deep reaction in your soul. There’s likely joy and peace and awe, But even sadness could play a role. PAUSE… Ask yourself what this place gives you, Ask what makes it so special in your mind. Then ask what you might need from it today, What wound or break must be realigned. PAUSE… Once you know what needs attention, Then shift your thoughts toward the cure. Your remedy will soon reveal itself, Nature knows best, even when you’re unsure. PAUSE… Whatever defines your special place, Be it water, trees, or sand. Pull its magic into your core, Taking healing by the hand.   Take a breath and feel the pain ebb, feel what you need returned. Exhale and hold onto your peaceful state, let your vitality seep back in. LONG PAUSE… Even if you weren’t aware Of what, if anything, could be wrong. Life takes its toll, and wears us out, And drowns out our cheerful song. PAUSE… Nature gives that song back to you, You need only make the time. Visit often, with sincere intent, And your soul will feel sublime. PAUSE… Choose a number of special places, Destinations for your awareness. Choose one whenever your spirit’s out of sorts, And let earth’s gifts lead you back to wellness. PAUSE… Let Nature’s power activate the power in you, Make use of the beauty it offers. You’re stronger when you let loving energy in, And that strength cycles back to help others. PAUSE… It’s true what they say, that Nature knows best, And its circular healing touches all. Never forget that you are part of web, That it’s there for you whenever you call.   Namaste, 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.

So you can breathe deeply into peaceful sleep.  So go ahead and let yourself settle into your bed,  Getting yourself into your most favorite sleeping position. And take your first deep breath in, filling your chest and belly with the fresh air of the evening,  And on your exhale, release out any tension you may be feeling in your body. Another deep breath in, expanding with nourishing oxygen, And exhale the heaviness. Last deep breath in, filling your belly as much as you can, And then let all the air out and fall deeper into your position. Bring your breathing to its natural, easy rhythm, And just be here for a bit, Aware of the natural slowing down of your breath, The slowing down of your heartbeat, The slowing down of your mind. Breathe… PAUSE… Thoughts may begin popping up, Wanting to invade your mind with visions of things to worry about, Tasks to finish, Even deep fears to feel.  Just observe as these thoughts or visions arrive, And see if you can imagine moving them from out of your mind into an open, empty room. One by one, imagine yourself moving these thoughts into this room, shutting the door behind you each time you leave one. Move those thoughts, Place them in the room, Releasing their power, Releasing the pain, Releasing the tension, Releasing the anxiety. Breathe it all out of you, And feel yourself melt further into your bed.  PAUSE… Now imagine yourself approaching the door to this room. Your mind is relaxed and you feel safe, knowing all of the thoughts, emotions and anxieties are outside of you and in this room. As the door opens, you look inside the room. And instead of it being full of everything you had just placed there, Instead, you see yourself sitting on the floor.  This is you as a little child.   She’s anxious. Scared.  And the embodiment of all those worries and emotions you just placed here. PAUSE… Your body immediately fills with compassion for this little girl, for yourself.  So you slowly approach her, sit down, And embrace her with tenderness and love.  It’s okay, you hear yourself saying to her. Everything’s going to be okay. This moment is all there is and right now, you are safe, lying in your bed, listening to these words and surrounded by love. She melts in your arms and surrenders to you. Let it go, my love, you say. You are safe. And everything is already okay. It’s time to sleep. Let me hold you as you give yourself to the night,  Trusting she will hold you with care, just as I am, And deliver you to the morning peacefully. PAUSE… Let it go. Let it all go.  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.

PAUSE… Let peace fill you up, As you melt into this space. PAUSE… As you watch the nightmares pass by, At an easy, steady pace.  PAUSE… I know they seem scary, These visions that swirl around. PAUSE… But rest assured they’re not real, Let them crumble to the ground.  PAUSE… Then come inside again, As your breath slows you down. PAUSE… Let your mind clear, And your ears hear the sound. LONG PAUSE… Let it go, Let it be, As you drift gently through the night.  PAUSE… Let it go, You are free, From the visions that gave you a fright. LONG PAUSE… Let your mind calmly follow, The slow dance of a single leaf. Turning and twisting and swaying, Its beauty is beyond belief.  PAUSE… Watch it float down gently, From the tree it just fell from. And pay close attention, As it makes a soft little hum.  PAUSE… Slowly it settles upon the ground, The leaf is here to rest. Notice how it surrenders itself, To the sleepiness of its nest. LONG PAUSE… Let it go, Let it be, Float like the leaf in the breeze. PAUSE… Let it go, You are free, Melting into the night with ease. LONG PAUSE… Sleep now, dear one, The nightmares are gone at last. You’re safe within your stillness, The space within is vast.

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 Take a slow, deep breath, A breath that fills your being. Let it calm and relax. LONG PAUSE Breathe again, and imagine a beautiful woven basket gently scooping up any distracting thoughts and carrying them away. LONG PAUSE Feel your body relaxing even more deeply with each breath. Take a moment  to lavish in the calm. LONG PAUSE While basking in the serenity, imagine seeing a tiny, twinkling light out of the corner of your eye. like a miniature sparkler, dancing, shimmering and flowing like a fountain of light. PAUSE After a few moments, the light takes shape, and a small, luminous figure appears: A fairy. PAUSE For a moment, Just look at the fairy. See her golden hair cascading in light. Notice her clothes made of leaves and petals, And see her wand aglow with magical light. PAUSE The fairy smiles at you, and you feel a wave of trust embed in your heart. “I’m Aya. Come with me,” she whispers. You know you can follow this fairy anywhere. PAUSE Aya sweeps her arms through the air, and a path of golden stardust appears. Then, the fairy cups her hands and gently blows fairy dust toward you. Magically, you rise from the bed, able to fly as nimbly as the fairy. PAUSE Together, you and Aya fly on the stardust path, into the night, past the houses and buildings, past bridges and waterways, until you reach the woods. The fairy pauses at the edge of the woods. “Are you ready for an adventure?” she whispers. You nod, feeling excitement and wonder. PAUSE Now, imagine if you can, taking the fairy’s hand and sailing into the woods. Tall trees light up as you pass them. Flowers and bushes glow when the fairy flies by. And, what you once thought  was a quiet forest, is now alive in the most magical way. PAUSE Aya takes you to a large tree stump that immediately radiates with light as soon as you pause there. Minutes later,  dozens of tiny sparkler lights appear. Fairies of all shapes and sizes surround you with smiles and light. “Learn from them,” Aya whispers. PAUSE A group of fairies approach. They wave their wands, and you fly with them deep into the bowels of the woods. PAUSE Imagine now, that when you and the fairies stop, Out of the black of night a magical workshop appears. As you look closer,  you see this workshop has bits of damaged trees, shrubs and flowers in it. And the fairies are working on them. PAUSE One fairy with a round face and jolly laugh nods at you, beckoning you to follow him. He picks up a mended flower, and together, you fly to plant missing its beautiful flower. The fairy waves his wand and the mended flower adheres to the plant, in full bloom. Then you and the fairy return to the others. PAUSE Another group of fairies welcomes you to follow them. And together, you fly through the forest, until you reach a small house nestled in the heart of the forest. PAUSE You and the fairies enter the house in silence while a family sleeps. The fairies go to the kitchen, where there is noticeably little food, and with a wave of their wands they fill the barren cabinets  With bread, vegetables and wine. They fill a pot with stew, ready for the family to heat up when they wake up. Then they leave, as silently as they came. PAUSE Back in the woods with the fairies, Aya meets you and you know that your time with the fairies  has come to an end. You thank the fairies  for all their hospitality and sharing. And you and Aya fly home on the stardust path.
