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

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. Itā€™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 itā€™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 lightā€“ a light that reaches toward the heaven.

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         As the light intensifies, an incredible, unconditional love spreads through you. Itā€™s calming, relaxing, and filled with  natural beauty. It opens from you to the entire world. Allow yourself to really feel the Peaceā€¦ and Beautyā€¦ 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 šŸ’—šŸ’—šŸ’— Check out all the deals from our incredible sponsors here! --> https://womensmeditationnetwork.com/sponsors šŸ’—šŸ’—šŸ’— 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 Breathe deep and slow, gathering yourself in peace  for a night  of complete rest. 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 youā€™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 imagineā€¦ 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 lifeā€™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 ā€œYou are a great blue heron, like royalty in the air. And when you pause near other fish or fowl, Itā€™s like they bow. ā€œBut what magnificent heron are you doing with me? You could be doing anything, Anywhere else, With your grace and majesty.ā€ 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 ā€œTo know your purpose and who you really are, Let go of the thoughts that Lock you behind bars.ā€ ā€œInstead, let your heart soar like youā€™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.ā€ 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, Youā€™re relaxed and comfortable and dust off yourself, And embracing his words, You smile in peace and ask,ā€œWhat else?ā€ PAUSE Between his beak, it seems the heron is smiling, Like a show of approval from a teacher to a student, Itā€™s as if youā€™re arriving. To the place you want to be in your life, Filled with peace and relaxation. Itā€™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: itā€™s your time to soar. You donā€™t have to wait, To create your thing. Just breathe in peace And spread your wings.

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 owlā€™s wings wrap gently around you, until youā€™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 owlā€™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 nightā€™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? PAUSEā€¦ We need to eat; itā€™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. PAUSEā€¦ 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? PAUSEā€¦ 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. PAUSEā€¦ Think about why youā€™re in the back, About why you donā€™t speak up. What makes you feel less important, Than those you take care of? PAUSEā€¦ They need you to be healthy. They need you to be strong. They want to know that youā€™re okay, That youā€™re not just playing along. PAUSEā€¦ 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? PAUSEā€¦ 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 PAUSEā€¦ Inhale and fortify yourself with thoughts of your power and value. Exhale and liberate yourself from the thoughts that undermine you. PAUSEā€¦ Where does this hunger come from? What can it tell you if you listen? Is there something helpful and positive Hiding in its shadows? PAUSEā€¦ Whatā€™s the secret message, The thread that runs throughout? What can this empty space tell you, About the cost of going without? PAUSEā€¦ We all know your heartā€™s in the right place, That you want whatā€™s best for all. But deprivation just canā€™t get you there. It just doesnā€™t have the power. PAUSEā€¦ 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. PAUSEā€¦ 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. PAUSEā€¦ Imagine how beautiful you look now, Shining with the glow of abundance. Enjoy the warmth coursing through you, Flavored with love and gratitude. PAUSEā€¦ So many things feel possible now, So many ideas come forth. Itā€™s hard to know how stunted we are, When weā€™re just holding on for dear life. PAUSEā€¦ But that isnā€™t you anymore. Youā€™ve asked for what you need. And because those you love truly love you back, What you asked for came to be. LONG PAUSEā€¦ Inhale and know youā€™re part of something bigger than yourself. Exhale with thanks for those who care, those who catch you when you canā€™t. PAUSEā€¦ Think of this as a wakeup call, A reason to make a change. Feeding ourselves is a necessity, Whether food or love or peace. PAUSEā€¦ Though change canā€™t happen overnight, You can do it need by need. Check in with yourself regularly, And pay attention to what you crave. PAUSEā€¦ Youā€™re not taking anything from others, When you choose to feed yourself. Instead youā€™re multiplying what you give, By starting from a place of health. PAUSEā€¦ 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.

You are beautiful from the inside out. And your body is a gorgeous blessing. No matter how big your thighs, How soft your belly How scarred your skin, How absent a limb, Or sick it may be...

PAUSEā€¦ Come inside, Deep into yourself, And surrender to the gentle rhythms of your breath.  PAUSEā€¦ In,  And out, Collecting the pain on your inhale, Releasing it all on the exhale.  Breathe in, Breathe out.  LONG PAUSEā€¦ Just like a flower needs water and sunlight to bloom, Your soul needs nourishment and rest to shine. PAUSEā€¦ So take a big, deep breath, And as you exhale, feel your body relax. Release all the tension from your body, And allow yourself to sink deeper into this moment of stillness. LONG PAUSE... Beyond the noise and chaos of the world,  Deep inside your soul, Lies a space of pure light and love. PAUSEā€¦ It belongs to you and only you, Itā€™s created by you, And comes from you.  Your radiance.  Your essence.   PAUSEā€¦ Let yourself drift towards this this light, Where all is peaceful and serene. PAUSE... Reach for it,  And embrace it, The beauty of your true essence. It shines bright and strong. Breathe in the power of your own light,  And feel it expand. LONG PAUSE...

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 Are you tired of the same old thing, The view that never changes? Close your eyes and try to see, What could happen if you rearranged it. PAUSEā€¦ Itā€™s so incredibly easy, To walk the same footsteps day to day. To follow the path weā€™ve followed before, Because things are simpler that way. PAUSEā€¦ 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? PAUSEā€¦ 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? PAUSEā€¦   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 PAUSEā€¦ Take a breath and see yourself, so innocent and sweet. Release the breath and remind yourself the quest is incomplete. PAUSEā€¦ 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? PAUSEā€¦ 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 lifeā€™s needs. PAUSEā€¦ If youā€™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. PAUSEā€¦ 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 PAUSEā€¦ 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. PAUSEā€¦ Or maybe the change isnā€™t a place. Maybe itā€™s a calling instead. Perhaps you need to find your purpose, A goal to serve both heart and head. PAUSEā€¦ When our lives donā€™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. PAUSEā€¦ 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. PAUSEā€¦ 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 PAUSEā€¦ 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 šŸ’—šŸ’—šŸ’— Check out all the deals from our incredible sponsors here! --> https://womensmeditationnetwork.com/sponsors šŸ’—šŸ’—šŸ’— 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? PAUSEā€¦ Close your eyes and check in with yourself, Try to see how youā€™re holding up. Are there cracks in your underpinnings? Do you feel tremors now and then? PAUSEā€¦ We donā€™t all start out on solid ground, Some get more support than others. And then when weā€™re tasked with building our lives, We forget to ask if weā€™re ready. PAUSEā€¦ 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 weā€™ve already started building. PAUSEā€¦   By then, itā€™s easy to decide, That everything will probably be fine. We might travel years down the road, Before worries creep into our minds. LONG PAUSEā€¦ Inhale deep, down to your core, and let your essence surround you. Exhale and feel the answers come, rising as you need them. PAUSEā€¦ Once uncertainties fill our minds,  The cracks are already there. But cracks donā€™t mean the house will fall. Instead theyā€™re reminders to take a peek below. PAUSEā€¦ 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. PAUSEā€¦ Sometimes the act of checking in,  Is all the process requires. Other times, thereā€™s work to be done, Tasks that cannot be ignored. PAUSEā€¦ 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 PAUSEā€¦ Inhale and sink deeper into knowing, see just what you need. Exhale as insight finds you, believe in the growth it promises. PAUSEā€¦ Fear often comes when we do this work, But know that itā€™s an illusion. Thereā€™s nothing to fear from your deepest self, And it will never leave you forsaken. PAUSEā€¦ Evolution must be a collaboration, A continuous project of growth. If you tend the framework regularly, Your spirit will do the hard work. PAUSEā€¦ 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. PAUSEā€¦ 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 PAUSEā€¦ Breathe in and picture the dwelling youā€™ve built, the perfect space to thrive. Breathe out with certainty as you tell yourself that dwelling will soon be yours.   Namaste, Beautiful šŸ’—šŸ’—šŸ’— Check out all the deals from our incredible sponsors here! --> https://womensmeditationnetwork.com/sponsors šŸ’—šŸ’—šŸ’— 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.
