It feels like hope is lost.  You can't seem to see, The possibilities, You're drowning and all is dark.  PAUSE… So close your eyes now, And turn your attention away,  From all the noise around you.  The chaos distracts you, From the hope that's still here, So settle in and quiet down.  Breathe into you, Deep and wide. Letting the air feed you, And remind you that you're alive.  Exhale and contract, Concentrating within, Releasing and relaxing.  LONG PAUSE… When you quiet the noise, When you keep fear at bay, You'll see hope in the distance. PAUSE… A tiny, glowing light, Who wants to show you the way, Wants to show you there's always a way. PAUSE… Reach out your hand, And follow her, Trust her.  PAUSE… The closer you get to this warm glowing light, The more light you see that exists. The darkness slowly fades away, And soon, you are flooded with light, Possibilities,  Opportunities. PAUSE… You can see what you couldn't see before.  You can see… Hope.  Namaste, Beautiful

Lighter,  Lighter, Lighter still. Letting go is the key. LONG PAUSE… Relax, And know you're okay. The night is here upon you, Ready to take you away. Sweet Dreams, Beautiful.

PAUSE… All the motivation, Can't help you right now. All the inspirations, Are useless little vows.  PAUSE… So slow down now, And honor this season of pain. There's something to learn, Deep wisdom to gain.  You're burnt out because, You ran way too fast.  You tried to hold it all, You did everything that was asked.  PAUSE… You're fried because you let, Others' goals become yours.  You listened to the voice, That said you'd endure.  PAUSE… Breathe in forgiveness, Breathe in waves of peace. You thought that your worth, Accomplishments would increase.  PAUSE… Slow down and come in, To the voice that is true, The one who knows, That it's time to renew.  PAUSE… Breathe and relax,  Let the air fill you now.

Let it guide you to say no, When you feel it's a strain.  PAUSE… You're going to be okay, All will feel right real soon. Love yourself deeply now, Wrap yourself in love's cocoon.  PAUSE… Breathe and relax, Let the air fill you now. Breathe and release,  Let go and allow.  Namaste, Beautiful

Just a few clicks makes it easy for you to listen on your favorite podcast player.  Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium Sometimes we just do not feel grateful.   Life can feel heavy, complicated and messy. And even when we try to bring our attention back to gratitude,  It can feel like we're forcing thank you's through gritted teeth.  So this morning's meditation will give you a chance to release what is blocking the gratitude from flowing, so you can truly receive the blessings all around you. So settle into a comfortable position, Taking a deep breath in, feeling your belly fill with fresh air, And then exhaling, feeling the release relax you even further, Melting your body, Easing your mind, And letting the nice, easy rhythm of your breathing bring you to the space of stillness inside.  Breathe… PAUSE… Feel your mind and body relax their hold on what's blocking you. The stresses, Worries,  Sadness, Desires to organize and perfect, The fears and negative thoughts. With every breath out,  Feel them release from you, Taking their heaviness away. Breathe in, Breathe out. Seeing the grey clouds leaving your mind, body and soul with every breath out. LONG PAUSE… Now come back to your breath, And take a deep breath in, Feeling the oxygen cleanse you, And exhale the last bits of heaviness out. PAUSE… Feel the lightness. The spaciousness.   The simplicity of the present moment. And allow yourself to silently say thank you from this place. Perhaps with clarity on what you're thankful for, Or perhaps with a simple awareness that thankfulness exists within you. And feel the light of gratitude illuminate you. Namaste, Beautiful.

Just a few clicks makes it easy for you to listen on your favorite podcast player.  Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium When we regularly practice gratitude, we attract more of what we are grateful for and invite abundance into our lives in ways we cannot possibly imagine.  And as that abundance comes into our lives, there is more and more to be grateful for. So the intention of today's meditation is to walk through the doorway of gratitude into the life of abundance all around you. Let's start by adjusting your body so you can settle into a comfortable position. And take your first deep breath in, Immediately pulling your attention from the outside world into your beautiful, physical body. And then release your breath all the way out. One more deep breath in, Grateful for the cool air coming into your lungs and expanding your stomach, And exhaling it all out. Now return your breathing to its normal rhythm. PAUSE... What is one thing you long for right now? Hold the vision of it in your mind. PAUSE... Now as you breathe out, watch that vision dissolve and in its place, see all of the things you currently have, or have had in the past, that are similar to this longing. If you crave true love, for example, envision previous relationships you've had. If you want more money, think about the money you currently have. PAUSE... If judgements or emotions arise, Just let those go, and simply BE with the vision. As you look at this scene, invite yourself to think about all the blessings it has given to you. What you've learned, what you've gained, what you do have. And then say a silent thank you as you surround yourself with them all. LONG PAUSE... When we start with intentional gratitude for all the things and experiences we have in our lives already, it helps attract more of what we want. So be here, One with gratitude for what you already have, And open your heart to receive more. Namaste, Beautiful.

The stillness that lives deep inside. It's beyond the thick forests, Of worry and pain, Beyond where your ego resides. PAUSE… Sink into this space, That's open and light, Here is where you belong. Solid and connected, To what really matters, Deep gratitude for life's lovely song. Slow down your breath, And let it melt you, Deep relaxation tonight. Slow down your mind, And let it calm you, It's time to surrender to night. PAUSE… Feel your body move, And hum with sweet life, And breathe in gratitude for this gift. Then think of the love, That surrounds you right now, And watch your energy shift. LONG PAUSE… The shelter you have, The food that you eat, The water that keeps you alive. Find thanks for them all, As gratitude sets in, For these that help you survive. PAUSE… The hugs that you get, The laughter that sings, The smiles that just melt your heart. Honor them now, And don't ever forget, They're blessings that can depart. PAUSE… If you have just one, Sweet soul who loves you, For the beautiful being you are. True fortune is yours, You know what love is, Gratitude is felt near and far. LONG PAUSE… So as you drift off, Let gratitude sink in, Into your body real deep. Feel the refresh, Of feeling so blessed, Let it lull you into sleep. LONG PAUSE… Sweet Dreams, Beautiful

So bring your attention to your breathing, Letting your body relax and find comfort, Feeling yourself melt a little bit more with every breath out. PAUSE… Notice your inbreath bringing in fresh air, And your outbreath releasing anything old and stale, Breathe in, And breathe out. PAUSE… Now for the next few minutes, while the music plays, I invite you to simply sit in gratitude. Perhaps that means thinking about things you're grateful for. Or maybe it means simply inviting in the feelings of appreciation for your life as a whole. There are no rules, just the practice of being here, present with your blessings, Present with your life, Present with deep gratitude for it all.  LONG PAUSE… Now bring your attention back to my voice,  And back to your breathing. And bring your hands together in front of your heart, Bowing to touch your forehead to your hands,  And saying silently or aloud, thank you.   May you be alive in the blessings of your life today, Beautiful. Namaste
