In and out as your body relaxes. Surrendering to the circular rhythm of your body. PAUSE… Relax your cheeks, Lower your shoulders, Let your arms and your legs melt, And soften your belly. Breathe. PAUSE… Observe the storm. Maybe it's a swirling tornado of thoughts, picking up all your worries and fears as it travels across the land. Maybe it's a giant ocean of dust and sand covering the deserts of your soul. Maybe it's a downpour of pain and suffering you see around you or in yourself that saturates you.

PAUSE… Breathe in peace with every inhale, Inviting its coolness to travel throughout your body, Reaching more and more of your cells on each breath in. PAUSE… Let your breathing cleanse you, As you release the noise of the storm, And the raw emotions it creates in you on every breath out.  PAUSE… Breathe in peace, Breathe out the storm. Breathe in calm, Breathe out chaos.  PAUSE… Feel the hum. The warm, glowing space inside of you. The calm at your core.  This is the space the storm cannot touch, The place where only love exists. Let yourself live here, In this beautiful space, Quiet, Calm,  Serene, As the storm rages on outside of you. Here you are safe.  Here you are home.  Here you are love.  And the storm cannot touch you. So let go, And surrender to deep sleep.

Expanding. Contracting.   Expanding. Contracting.   Settle yourself into your body's rhythm, Let it calm you.  Let it slow you down.  Let it bring you here. To this breath. To this moment.   PAUSE… You may have heard it lately.  The noise in your head.   I should be doing more, it says. I'm not doing enough.  You might be able to wave it away initially.   But the noise persists.  I should be doing this, I should be doing that.   This noise can leave you feeling guilty, anxious or deeply judgemental about yourself.  The noise gets louder when we compare ourselves to others.  Or when we expect perfection from ourselves.  PAUSE... But if you listen carefully,  You'll hear something beyond all the noise.   It comes upon you in the most subtle ways.  In the shower.  Just before you fall asleep.   In the loving words from a friend.  It's your inner voice. Your true voice.  The true YOU.   And your inner voice knows the truth.  So take a deep breath in and let her words rejuvenate you.  You are doing a great job, Beautiful.  You don't need to do anything more.   You don't need to be anything more.   You are enough.   You're doing your best. And when there is an opening for more,  I will guide you there with tenderness, excitement and energy...not with the stress and guilt of a hailstorm of shoulds.   You are incredible.   And you're doing a great job right now.   PAUSE… Bring your attention to your breath and with every breath in, imagine yourself breathing in grace, love and acceptance.  And with every breath out, imagine yourself letting go of the shame, guilt or perfection you may have been holding onto.  Breathe in love, Breathe out guilt.  Breathe in grace,  Breathe out perfection.  Breathe in acceptance, Breathe out shame. PAUSE... You are exactly where you need to be right now. You are doing exactly what you need to be doing.   You are doing your best.   Trust your voice.  Namaste, Beautiful.   Thanks to our amazing Sponsor! sleepnumber.com

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 So let's begin by first coming into your breath, Bringing your attention inward,  Riding the waves of your breathing, Connecting with its rhythm.  Breathing in. Breathing out.  Imagining each breath in cleansing you, preparing you for this new moment. And each breathe out releasing any thoughts or emotions that may be sitting inside of you.  Breathe in, fresh new air. Breathe out and release. Breathe in.  Breathe out.  PAUSE… Now imagine that you're sitting on a bench outside. The shade is covering you and the cool breeze kisses your cheeks.  You see a little girl sitting beside you, and you lovingly reach over and touch her hand.  As soon as you touch her, a colorful vision flashes in your mind.   It's a recent memory of when you were mad. You can see yourself, your body and mind so filled with anger that nothing else seemed to matter to you. Maybe you shouted hurtful words, perhaps you did mean things. Maybe you let your mind fill with blame or judgement.   Just let yourself feel the heat of this touch. The heat of anger.  PAUSE… Now imagine that you now touch your hand to the little girl's back. This time, the vision is a recent memory of when you were scared. See that scene in your mind, coloring it with your rapid heart rate, the swirling of your mind with all the unknowns, the heaviness of anxiety that arose. Maybe you made poor choices. Perhaps you were disrespectful or rude. Let yourself feel the weight of this fear right now.  PAUSE… Finally, let your hand now touch the little girl on the crown of her head.  And notice as the memory floods in of a recent moment when you were sad.   Feel the weight of your sadness fill you as you recall the depression, disappointment or self-pity you may have experienced.  And let it sit here with you. PAUSE… Now imagine yourself turning to look at the little girl beside you, kneeling down in front of her so you can look her in the eyes and take her in.   She is your ego. Your fears. Your anger. Your sadness.   Your need to be right. The guardian of your identity. She is not you. But she is a part of you.  A part that you can identify and let go of.  And a part of you that you can find peace with.  PAUSE… So take a deep breath in, inviting in forgiveness, understanding and grace for this little girl, And as you exhale, embrace her with a big hug… And then let her go.

Now bring your breathing to an easy, smoothe rhythm, And be here for a bit.  PAUSE… Just breathing, In and out, Relaxing, Releasing. LONG PAUSE… Slowly bring your open hand to your heart. Feel the palm of your hand radiating its warmth onto the skin of your chest, And the energy of your heart, Radiating its warmth onto your hand. Be one with the calming, warm energy coming together here, Magical, Luminous, Full of love. PAUSE… Now see if you can imagine this force in the center of you magnetizing all those things out of your control that are buzzing inside of you. Pulling all those details, Those thoughts, Those emotions, Those anxieties, stresses and fears all towards it. PAUSE… Let each inhale strengthen this pull, And gather all those things out of your control towards it. LONG PAUSE… Now bring your attention to this light, This space between your hand and your heart that is now full. And on your next breath out, Release your hand from your heart, Your palm open to the sky, And watch all of those things you cannot control escape into the space around you, Like tiny little butterflies being released into the air. PAUSE.... Breathe, And let them go. Breathe, And release your control. LONG PAUSE… Now bring both hands back to your heart, This time noticing the space within, The openness, The lightness. PAUSE… Breathe one last deep breath in, And then exhale completely, Calm, Clear, And free. Namaste, Beautiful

Each emotion.  They burn with the glow of energy to attract your attention, To convince you of their importance.  PAUSE… But tonight, you let them gather here,  Distancing yourself from their stories, And instead, observing them all from afar, Knowing that sleep exists on the other side of their light. PAUSE… So feel it all gather inside of you, dear one, And then imagine that every breath out releases them from you. PAUSE... Each breath out dims their light. PAUSE... Each breath out dismantles the planet of comets. PAUSE... Until eventually, Only stardust exists. LONG PAUSE… The space is quiet with nothingness. Only the soft hum of your own body exists. The silence surrounds you, And embraces you, Seeping deeply into you,  And melting you deeper into the night. PAUSE… Your mind is quiet. Your body is calm. Your spirit is light. And your soul is safe. Floating here in the deep silence of the night. Sweet Dreams, Beautiful.

But when we receive praise with gratitude, we honor not only ourselves but also the person who is giving it.  We acknowledge the beauty and abundance in the world, and we create more space for joy and connection. PAUSE So relax,  And ease yourself into comfort.  And use your breath to find your stillness.  LONG PAUSE See if you can recall when someone praised you for something that you did or said.  It could be something big or small, recent or from a long time ago.  Really take your time to visualize this experience. LONG PAUSE… As you recall this praise, allow yourself to feel the warmth and joy that came from that moment.  Feel it in your heart and in your body. PAUSE… Now, take a moment to reflect on all the times in your life when someone has praised you or shown appreciation for who you are.  Allow these memories to come to mind, one after the other. PAUSE.. Allow yourself to feel grateful for the people who have given it to you.  Acknowledge the impact their words and actions have had on your life, and how they have helped shape who you are today. PAUSE… Allow this sense of gratitude to fill your heart and your body, and feel it growing stronger with each passing moment. PAUSE… Remember that you have the power to give praise and show appreciation to others as well.  So take this feeling inside and let it guide you towards spreading kindness and positivity in the world around you. PAUSE… Namaste, Beautiful

But the truth is, praising our accomplishments can be incredibly healing and empowering.  It reminds us of our own worth and strength, and helps us to recognize the progress we've made along our journey. When we take time to praise ourselves, we're not just being self-indulgent or egotistical. We're actively cultivating a sense of self-love and self-acceptance that can have a profound impact on our mental and emotional well-being. PAUSE So let's begin by taking a deep breath in, filling our lungs with fresh air, and releasing it slowly.  PAUSE… As you breathe out, release any tension or stress in your body. PAUSE… Now, I invite you to bring to mind a recent accomplishment, no matter how big or small.  It could be something as simple as completing a task that you've been putting off or finally trying something new that you've been curious about. PAUSE… Allow yourself to bask in the warm glow of this accomplishment, to feel the pride and joy that comes with it.  Hold this feeling in your heart, and let it radiate throughout your entire being. PAUSE… As you sit with this sense of accomplishment, take a moment to recognize the hard work and effort that you put into it.  Acknowledge the strength and determination that brought you to this moment of success.  Offer yourself words of praise, gratitude, and kindness for all that you have accomplished. PAUSE… It's important to take time to honor the things we achieve, big or small, and to recognize the value they hold in our lives.  PAUSE… 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 So let's begin by settling into a position that's comfortable for you, Where your body can be relaxed and alert. Let your attention fall onto the movement of your breathing. Silently whispering to yourself breathe in, When you breathe in. And breathe out, when you breathe out.  Breathe in. Breathe out. PAUSE… Allow that circular rhythm of your breathing calm you and relax your body even further.  Elongating your breathing just a bit more on every breath in and out. And feeling it slow down your body. And slow down your mind. Breathe in, Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out. PAUSE… Now see if you can imagine for a moment that you're standing in front of an easel that holds a blank canvas.   It's big and white and you're in front of it with a paint brush in your hand. Take a deep breath in, letting fresh air fill you up all the way down to your toes, And as you exhale, imagine yourself putting your paint brush to the canvas, painting a picture of your current life.   Perhaps your brush paints images of your family, friends and environment.  Maybe you see it painting where you live, the work you do, your body and your health.  Let your paintbrush freely draw all the challenges too - the areas of your life where you may feel stressed, or unhappy or angry.   And for the next little bit, allow yourself to paint life as it is now. PAUSE… Now go ahead and take a deep breath in, filling your belly with cleansing air, And as you exhale, release it all out.   Notice now that there's a new, blank canvas in front of you, right next to the one you've just painted.   And notice that the brush in your hand is clean and fresh once again.  So now, use your brush to paint on this blank canvas, only this time, invite yourself to paint your life as you see it in your dreams.   Your life filled with all those big goals and visions, people and circumstances that get you so excited, that make you feel hopeful, that fill you with child-like wonder. Fill your canvas with the colors and shapes of your dreams. PAUSE… Take a deep, cleansing breath in, And as you exhale, see the two paintings in front of you.  Your life is magical.  A precious gift. And YOU are the one who gets to create what your life is. YOU are the one with the paintbrush in your hand. You are the one who can decide in any given moment to stop painting and start on a fresh, new, blank canvas.

LONG PAUSE… Now allow yourself to embody how good it feels, from the inside out, to be taken care of,  To be nurtured deeply.  And then let this feeling rise out of you,  Overflowing onto your body, And surrounding you fully.  LONG PAUSE Namaste, Beautiful

And on your exhale, allow yourself to sink deeper into your position.  Bring your breathing to its normal rhythm, And simply be here with your breath for a bit.  Feeling your body expand with your breath in.  And contract with your breath out.  Breathe in. Breathe out.  PAUSE… You are worthy of receiving love from yourself.  You are worthy of being your priority.  You are worthy of receiving the love and appreciation and care you so easily give to others.   Breathe that in, allowing yourself to be open to receiving your love.  PAUSE... So imagine with me that you're sitting in the middle of a large, open room of a house.   The sunshine illuminates the room and warms your skin.  And a soft, soothing aroma makes you feel calm and safe.  It's quiet and the only noises you hear are the songs of nature coming in from your open windows.   Even though the large, open room may not resemble your current residence,  You know this is your home.  Where your heart and your body and your soul feel grounded and vibrant.  You are safe here.   And here...you can listen. Listen to what your inner voice is telling you. PAUSE… What do you need right now? What would make your body feel good?  Your mind feel good? Your soul feel good?  Just take a moment to sit with your breath, and with the answers that come up for you. PAUSE… See these answers in your mind.   And watch yourself as you stand up and move towards the door.  You deserve to feel good.   You deserve to shine.   Open the door and see those things you called to mind waiting there, Ready for you to call them in.   Take in a deep breath of gratitude,  And one by one, invite in each of those things you identified.  Each of those things you know will make you feel good.  PAUSE…

This soothing melody of calm, Slowing you down, And relaxing you into presence.  PAUSE… In, And out. In, And out. LONG PAUSE… All the movement and thoughts of the day vibrate on your skin.  Little sparks of energy still wanting your attention, Wanting you to keep moving, To keep thinking, To keep doing, So they can continue to buzz and play.  PAUSE… Breathe… And instead, Let the gentle rain wash them away. PAUSE... Let each raindrop wipe your skin clean, And release you from the buzzing on your skin. Release you from the thoughts, Release you from the noise, Release you from anything that isn't here and now. PAUSE… Feel the tiny drops of water come down upon you, And land upon the crown of your head, Your eyes, Cheeks, And neck.  PAUSE… Feel the gentle drops of rain fall upon your chest, Down your arms, Along the expanse of your back, And onto your belly. PAUSE… Let those cleansing raindrops fall upon your hips, Your legs, And down to your feet. PAUSE… Be one with the rain, The comforting, rhythmic healer all around you. Let her wash it all away, So you can be here, Released from thoughts, And one with the stillness inside.  Namaste, Beautiful Thanks to our amazing Sponsor!
