Turn off the outside world. PAUSE Allow yourself a moment to be in the present, becoming aware of  all that’s around you. PAUSE If a distracting thought passes by, let it. Your focus  Is on you. PAUSE Now, from this  calm, observant place, imagine the emotion of Fear  as a tap dancer. PAUSE For a moment, Fear is quiet. And then, the tapping begins. It starts slowly, then intensifies, becoming louder, faster more robust. It may even feel a bit desperate. PAUSE Take a moment to watch Fear dance. What do you see from the dance? What can you understand about your Fear as she dances? Take hold of this healing knowledge. Bring it into your consciousness. PAUSE Now, breathe. Let Fear fade, and calm return to you. PAUSE After a moment, you notice the emotion of Grief rising from the ground, like a modern lyrical dancer. PAUSE Grief’s moves are powerful, and filled with pain. Grief’s arms rise high and fall low, and he jumps in the air in splits, before falling to the ground on his knees. Grief is aware that he must keep moving through the pain. How can you use Grief’s dance to understand and move through pain? Bring this awareness into you. PAUSE Now, breathe. Let Grief fade, and calm return to you. PAUSE After a minute, notice the emotion of Joy twirling with warmth and happiness. PAUSE Joy moves her hips, brings her arms up high. Every step is filled with beauty. What is Joy saying to you about your life? Is Joy with you? PAUSE Take a moment, and allow yourself to feel your Joy. Allow yourself to integrate Joy into your being. PAUSE Draw in a deep breath, and give thanks to these emotions and their dances. Know they are a part of you, and that they can be danced through with grace, love and success. Always.

  • 409 - Meditation: Writing Your Stress Away

    Join Premium! Ready for an ad-free meditation experience? Join Premium now and get every episode from ALL of our podcasts completely ad-free now! 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 Open your heart and find the stillness of the presence, Deep within you. PAUSE Stay with that stillness, Breathing into it, Letting it float through you, Like a gentle cloud. PAUSE And while holding space  in the stillness, Imagine a journal and pen materializing before you. PAUSE And with this journal, The stress you need express, The tension blocking you from moving forward, All write themselves into the journal. PAUSE So, take a minute and breathe, And, as you breathe,  Let the stress out, Let every bit of stress write itself on a page  in your journal. PAUSE Now, breathe deep, taking a pause to release all  the stress onto the page. PAUSE Imagine looking at the page with all your stress emptied onto it. Look at what’s written on the page. PAUSE And, now, imagine if you can, An eraser gently erasing the stress. And with each stress removed, a feeling of greater calm comes over you. PAUSE  Observe the eraser work, until every bit of stress is completely gone, and there is only a blank white page. Breathe, and feel the deep relaxation around you. PAUSE After a moment, visualize the pen writing again. Watch closely,  as each stroke of the pen forms letters and words, until you see the words: “I am powerful.” See those words. Hear those words. PAUSE The pen writes another line, and you watch until  these words appear: “I am calm.” See those words. Hear those words. PAUSE Breathe, and observe the pen writing more: “I can handle it all easily.” Let those words move through your entire being.  PAUSE Now, take a minute and breathe, letting all three phrases blend with your spirit: “I am powerful.” “I am calm.” “I can handle it all easily.” PAUSE And when you feel stressed, remember your secret journal, with these magic words  and their energies written in it Because you can handle it easily.

  • 407 - AD-FREE BONUS: Meditation: Clarity Amidst the Chaos and Pain

    Hey, it’s Katie and I want to welcome you to this special bonus episode. It’ll be here for you completely ad-free for the next week so you can get a feel of what it’s like to be a PREMIUM member. If you’d like an easy ad-free experience for all of our podcasts - that’s over 200 episodes each month, then JOIN PREMIUM today at https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium Your heart is heavy with emotions.  Deep sorrow. Outrage. Fear. Confusion.   You’re mortified by the pain and the injustice. Bursting with all of the charged emotions. Your mind is spinning and your body is vibrating. So the intention of today’s meditation is to give you the space to breathe through it all. To honor all the emotions and give them a safe space to live and speak their words of wisdom to you. So you may gain clarity amidst the chaos and the pain.  Let’s begin by getting into a comfortable position, sitting or lying down. Close your eyes and take a deep breath in, letting the air fill your chest and your belly, And exhale it all the way out, letting your breathing find a slow, natural rhythm. Breathing in just a little longer with each breath in, and breathing out just a little more with each breath out.  Notice the fast beating of your heart. And just imagine that the rhythm of your breath is slowing your heart rate down.  Breathe. PAUSE… Let your breathing release the tension in your body. Relaxing your shoulders, Unclenching your jaw, Softening your cheeks, Relaxing your arms and hands, Letting your chest and belly melt, And relaxing your legs and your feet. PAUSE… Now imagine with me that there is a hot, red fire inside of your belly. It’s fueled by all the emotions and thoughts you’re experiencing right now. This fire is not contained, its flames are stretching and licking everything it can reach.  Watch the fire burn within you. Anger. Sadness. Fear. Confusion.   PAUSE… Take a deep breath in and as you do, notice the energy of the fire sync with your breath, So that when you breathe all that air out, the fire begins to still. Take another deep breath in, watching the fire expand just like your belly, And on your exhale, see the fire shrink and soften.  Settle into the normal rhythm of your breath, And notice the life of the fire inside of you has also settled into a state of stillness. It continues to glow with red heat,  And as you allow yourself to look deeply into its layers, You know within it lies the wisdom and clarity you crave, Beyond the loud roar of its flames, into the heart of the fire. So be here for a few minutes,  Just you and the fire inside of you.  Stare into it and let yourself receive what is here for you.  There’s no need to force anything, Simply breathe and listen. PAUSE… You are a beautiful being of love. And who you are matters. What you choose to do with this fire matters.  May the clarity you gain in listening guide your light to shine its brilliance onto our world.  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.
