Episode Highlight: On this episode of the "Embracing Only" podcast, we delve into how being “too emotional” can be your superpower with Rachel Radway, a certified leadership and executive coach, Mastermind facilitator, and author. Highly perceptive individuals often feel like they are crazy, broken, or the only person who feels this way. This is not true, there are so many of us out here, including many incredibly successful women. Rachel has more than 25 years of leadership experience across tech startups, not-for-profits, and Fortune 500s. She's particularly passionate about helping women leaders who are wired a little differently create the conditions they need to thrive. Key Discussion Points: 02:33 Exploring High Sensitivity Perception: 30% of people are affected by high sensitivity perception. This comes with its own challenges and superpowers. 08:32 Strategies for Managing Sensory Overload in Our Increasingly Connected Workspaces: While you may not be able to control your environment completely, there are ways you can create conditions for success. 13:55 The Stigma of Being Labeled as Highly Sensitive: Women face so many challenges in the workplace, the last thing they need is another label attached to them that is often associated with weakness. 17:46 Navigating Extreme Self-Expectations: Brain research has shown that the brains of highly sensitive people optimize for successful group outcomes rather than individual outcomes. 23:04 Understanding How Your Brain Works: This work can be intimidating because there are so many deep-seated social expectations of us. The first step is to get support. 29:49 The Power of the Pause: One of the biggest gifts we can give ourselves is to pause before we take action and to start listening to ourselves. 37:34 The Pressure to Be Likable: Likability and authenticity sometimes feel in dissonance with one another. There are ways you can navigate these feelings. In Summary: If you think you are highly perceptive and you are struggling, Rachel Radway urges you to give yourself grace, reach out for support, listen to your body, and take care of yourself.

Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium Come to your pillow tonight, sweet one, And give it all to the night. The anxieties, the worries, the fears… Gather them all up, And let them go. So you can drift off peacefully into the tranquil night. Breathe in deeply, And pull yourself into this moment. Fill your entire body with air, Holding it at the top for just a moment. And then breathe out, Releasing the day, Releasing the thoughts. Another deep breath in, Gathering up all the things left undone, The grey clouds of emotions hiding inside, Hold it at the top, Hold, And let it go, Releasing all of it through your exhale. Bring your breathing to an easy, natural rhythm, And then allow yourself a moment to find your most favorite sleeping position. PAUSE… Come here, Into your bed, Your safe island of refuge.

LONG PAUSE… As your body quiets, Your mind may be getting louder. Sneaking in random flashes of visions that want to wake you. But instead of looking too long, See if you can see those thoughts or visions as they pop up, And image them magically morphing into the shape of a shell. A vision pops up, A fear, A worry, An anxiety, And watch it shift into a shell, Nestled in the sand on your safe, sleepy island. PAUSE… One by one, Observe any of those visions, Anxieties, Worries, Fears. As your body lies here in the comfort of your bed, Just notice those thoughts come up, And change into shells, That now rest at the foot of your bed, On the beach of your safe island of sleep. LONG PAUSE… Keep searching for them, Those heavy anxieties, worries and fears plague your mind, And collect them, And placing the shells on your beautiful beach. PAUSE… When all the shells have been gathered, And are piled high on the sand, Imagine yourself looking at them, Without emotion, Without meaning, And feeling safe knowing they are not within you, They are not a part of you. PAUSE… And as you breathe in deep, Feeling the fresh spaces now open inside of you, Reach down, And take those shells, Moving them into the boat on your beach. One by one, Take those shells of anxiety, Of worry, Of fear, And place them in the boat, Until you see all of them piled high within its walls. PAUSE… Close your eyes, Raising your face to the warmth of the sun, Letting your mind clear in this moment, And then place your hands on your boat, And push it out into the ocean, Watching peacefully as the waves carry it all away. PAUSE…

PAUSE… Breathe in and let it clear. Breathe out all the fear. Breathe in and slow it down. Breathe out thoughts that buzz around. LONG PAUSE… I calm down some, Enough to see, The voice inside, That was whispering. Is my own soul, Who deeply knows, That I am fine, And I am whole. PAUSE… All this noise, That feels so real, This mental fighting, I try to conceal, Will lose its power, When I share, Will evaporate, Should I dare. LONG PAUSE… All we have is now, So focus on what's here. Come into the quiet, And see if you can hear. PAUSE… The whispers of your soul, Pulling you out of your head. Feel yourself calm down now, There's light up ahead. Sweet Dreams, Beautiful.

Such a soul-bride merges into the Being of God. || 2 || One who is in the grip of pride does not obtain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence. She regrets and repents, when her life-night passes away. The unfortunate self-willed manmukhs suffer in pain. || 3 || I pray to God, but I think that He is far away. God is imperishable and eternal; He is pervading and permeating everywhere. Servant Nanak sings of Him; I see Him Ever-present everywhere. || 4 || 3 || --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gsjhampur/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gsjhampur/support

PAUSE… Let yourself move around a bit, Until you find your favorite sleeping position. PAUSE… And then breathe in deep, Filling yourself up with fresh, cool air. And then release your breath, All the way out. PAUSE… Another full inhale now, Filling up from your toes, All the way up to the crown of your head. Holding it at the top for a moment. And then exhaling with a sigh, Releasing all the air, All the tension, As you melt a little deeper into your bed. PAUSE… Be here, Relaxing into a soothing, slow rhythm, Of breathing in, And breathing out. PAUSE… Inhaling just a bit deeper each time your breathe in, And exhaling just a little longer each time you breathe out. PAUSE… Breathe… And relax. LONG PAUSE… All day long, Little pieces of toxicity have entered your body, And snuck into your mind. PAUSE… The food you ate, The water your drank, The words that landed upon your ears, The visions that played before your eyes, And the thoughts that bubbled up in your head. PAUSE… They've accumulated within you, And now you can consciously let them go, Clearing your mind, Cleansing your body, Leaving you light and free. LONG PAUSE… So see if you can imagine a soft, gentle hand hovering over you. She's warm and kind, And places herself on your heart. PAUSE… Like a magnet, she calls all those pieces of toxicity to her, And one by one, They come. Releasing their hold on you, And landing in this gentle hand. PAUSE… Your heart immediately feels lighter, Cleaner, And whole. LONG PAUSE… The gentle hand finds her way to your belly. You feel the warm energy of her touch, And see her calling all those pieces to her. PAUSE… One by one they leave you, Leaving everything in this area clean, And clear. LONG PAUSE… The soft hand places herself on both your legs, And the toxins are in her pull. PAUSE… Feel them gather up and release their hold, From your toes, Your feet, Your ankles, Up to your knees, And all the way to your hips. PAUSE… Your legs are clean, And clear. LONG PAUSE… The gentle hand now hovers over your back. Watch as all the toxins detach from your lower back, Slowly up your spine, All the way up to your neck, Releasing their hold, Helpless against the magnetic pull of the detoxifying hand. LONG PAUSE… Now feel the warmth on the crown of your head, As the soft hand rests here. Millions of toxic pieces swim in your mind, And one by one, They are pulled into the palm of the loving hand. PAUSE… Let her absorb them all, Releasing the toxins from your mind, Leaving you clean, And clear. LONG PAUSE… Rest now, dear one, And float through the land of dreams. Clean, And clear.

Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium Lay your head down, Find some peace. Close your weary eyes, And prepare to dream. PAUSE… Dial your mind back to when you were young, To those never-ending, carefree days. Try to slip back into that joyful mindset, Try to remember that tiny you. PAUSE… Think about how interesting everything was, Every rock, every tree, every stick. The world was a bundle of opportunity, Entertainment wherever you looked. PAUSE… One day, you might find a bed of leaves, To roll in or jump on or climb under. Maybe you used them to make a nest, A place your bug friends could find shelter. PAUSE… Another day, you might have collected stones, Then sorted them by color and size. So many little piles of pebble treasure, Making you feel rich beyond compare. PAUSE… Think back to the days of hopscotch, To chalk masterpieces all over the cement. With giggles and smiles, the hopping commenced, And the simple game never got old. PAUSE… Perhaps you spent days in nearby woods, Gathering branches for a secret fort. Pretending to be pirates or pioneers, Getting lost in your stories for hours. Take a deep breath of that leafy air, let the lighthearted energy fill you. Exhale the breath but hold onto the joy, be that delighted child once again. LONG PAUSE… Travel back the long, hot summers, Running through sprinklers and playing tag. Squealing at the sound of the ice cream truck, And staying outside until daylight disappeared. PAUSE… On rainy days, you could play inside, Bringing those indoor toys to life. And then when the sun magically reappeared, Worms and puddles waited to be explored. PAUSE… Jumping in puddles was its own special game Sending water in every direction. It takes a certain kind of glee, To hop around with such abandon. PAUSE… Sink into that carefree energy, The feeling that life is yours to enjoy. The word ‘worry' was likely a foreign one, While ‘fun' was the primary goal. PAUSE… Feel your shoulders lift as you remember, Feel the elation in your heart as well. Let your body relax into that innocent space, As happiness seeps into your cells. PAUSE… Though everyone's forced to leave childhood behind, Usually before we're ready, You don't have to give up that childish delight, Just because age creates new expectations. PAUSE… It's really about giving yourself permission, To go back for the things you've loved. There are no requirements when it comes to joy, And no reason to keep it from yourself. Inhale and imagine more pleasure in your life, more laughs, more dancing, more puddles. Exhale and see the possibilities, the path to lightness and bliss. LONG PAUSE… Your childlike self has answers, Wisdom long ago packed away. But you can pull it out at any point, And rediscover whatever you've missed. PAUSE… Let your mind wander toward serenity, To the ease of innocence. Wipe your heart clean of negativity, And let hope make your spirit soar. PAUSE… There's a way to combine the authentic you, With the version mature life requires. The secret is staying in touch with enjoyment, Heeding the call for fun. PAUSE… A small change can make all the difference, A laugh can open a door. Lighthearted ways make for lighthearted days, And you deserve to feel that boost. PAUSE… Promise yourself you'll try it, That you'll stay open and ready to play. There's plenty of time for you to be an adult, While still relishing your carefree days. PAUSE…

Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium We hold on so tightly, To the outcomes that we want. Our fingers squeeze around them, And our hold locks into place. PAUSE… Our vision hones in on what's within our grip, And suddenly everything else is invisible. PAUSE… We wait and we watch, Counting the moments as we stare, Completely oblivious to anything else around us. PAUSE… What we don't realize, Is that we're suffocating our desires, The tighter we hold. And we become blind to the manifestations of our dreams, That aren't born inside of our fists. PAUSE… So dream, sweet one, Visualize and hope, And take action every single day. But peel back those fingers, And loosen that grip. Widen your gaze, And detach from the outcome. So creativity can flow, And you can breathe. Breathe now, Pulling the air in deep into you, As it fills you up. And then release, As you exhale all that air out. PAUSE… One more deep breath in, Expanding your belly and chest to their max, Gathering up those details, Thoughts, And worries, And then releasing them all, As you breathe out. PAUSE… Now, bring your breathing to a soft, easy rhythm, And be here for a bit. One with the movement of your body, One with the openness of your mind. LONG PAUSE… Holding on tightly to the outcome we want, Will not ensure we get it. But it will steal our attention, Intensify our emotions, And cause our minds to obsess. PAUSE… So imagine your hand opening gently, On the outcomes it desperately holds. Imagine your fingers slowly peeling back. PAUSE… Watch those petals of desires, Unfurl and expand, Free from the pressure, Free to breathe. PAUSE… Breathe here with them, And find a gentle rhythm that nourishes. PAUSE… Feel the soft breeze kiss your face, And dance with the colorful petals in your open hand. PAUSE… Slowly and beautifully, The petals ride the waves of the breeze, As they float away in all directions, Free to land where they're meant to be. LONG PAUSE… And here you are, Light and peaceful, Relaxed and calm. Surrendered to the magic of the petals, That will dance and spin, Until they're ready to land. Namaste, Beautiful

Inhale and imagine more pleasure in your life, more laughs, more dancing, more puddles. Exhale and see the possibilities, the path to lightness and bliss. LONG PAUSE… Your childlike self has answers, Wisdom long ago packed away. But you can pull it out at any point, And rediscover whatever you've missed. PAUSE… Let your mind wander toward serenity, To the ease of innocence. Wipe your heart clean of negativity, And let hope make your spirit soar. PAUSE… There's a way to combine the authentic you, With the version mature life requires. The secret is staying in touch with enjoyment, Heeding the call for fun. PAUSE… A small change can make all the difference, A laugh can open a door. Lighthearted ways make for lighthearted days, And you deserve to feel that boost. PAUSE…

So much energy is spent, Trying to calm their wild ride. PAUSE… I beat myself up for not doing, The tasks that need to get done. But all my time is spent, Holding back the desire to run. PAUSE… One minute I'm angry, The next I'm in tears. The tough love voice yells loud, Its truth rings loud in my ears. PAUSE… I crumble into bed, Exhausted from the fight. Feeling a little crazy, Knowing I'm not quite right. PAUSE… It's here at the lowest, When the whisper softly sings. It'll all be okay, sweet one, We all struggle with these things. PAUSE… Breathe into yourself, she says, And remember who you are. These toxic mental demons, Will drag you way out far. PAUSE… But see if you can find, The space between your breaths. See if you can feel, Where stillness comes to rest. I breathe in deep and focus, On the air that fills me up. I breathe out fully and notice, Thoughts empty from this cup. PAUSE… Breathe in and let it clear. Breathe out all the fear. Breathe in and slow it down. Breathe out thoughts that buzz around. LONG PAUSE… I calm down some, Enough to see, The voice inside, That was whispering. Is my own soul, Who deeply knows, That I am fine, And I am whole. PAUSE… All this noise, That feels so real, This mental fighting, I try to conceal, Will lose its power, When I share, Will evaporate, Should I dare. LONG PAUSE… All we have is now, So focus on what's here. Come into the quiet, And see if you can hear. PAUSE… The whispers of your soul, Pulling you out of your head. Feel yourself calm down now, There's light up ahead. Sweet Dreams, Beautiful.

Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium Lay your head down, Find some peace. Close your weary eyes, And prepare to dream. PAUSE… Dial your mind back to when you were young, To those never-ending, carefree days. Try to slip back into that joyful mindset, Try to remember that tiny you. PAUSE… Think about how interesting everything was, Every rock, every tree, every stick. The world was a bundle of opportunity, Entertainment wherever you looked. PAUSE… One day, you might find a bed of leaves, To roll in or jump on or climb under. Maybe you used them to make a nest, A place your bug friends could find shelter. PAUSE… Another day, you might have collected stones, Then sorted them by color and size. So many little piles of pebble treasure, Making you feel rich beyond compare. PAUSE… Think back to the days of hopscotch, To chalk masterpieces all over the cement. With giggles and smiles, the hopping commenced, And the simple game never got old. PAUSE… Perhaps you spent days in nearby woods, Gathering branches for a secret fort. Pretending to be pirates or pioneers, Getting lost in your stories for hours. Take a deep breath of that leafy air, let the lighthearted energy fill you. Exhale the breath but hold onto the joy, be that delighted child once again. LONG PAUSE… Travel back the long, hot summers, Running through sprinklers and playing tag. Squealing at the sound of the ice cream truck, And staying outside until daylight disappeared. PAUSE… On rainy days, you could play inside, Bringing those indoor toys to life. And then when the sun magically reappeared, Worms and puddles waited to be explored. PAUSE… Jumping in puddles was its own special game Sending water in every direction. It takes a certain kind of glee, To hop around with such abandon. PAUSE… Sink into that carefree energy, The feeling that life is yours to enjoy. The word ‘worry' was likely a foreign one, While ‘fun' was the primary goal. PAUSE… Feel your shoulders lift as you remember, Feel the elation in your heart as well. Let your body relax into that innocent space, As happiness seeps into your cells. PAUSE… Though everyone's forced to leave childhood behind, Usually before we're ready, You don't have to give up that childish delight, Just because age creates new expectations. PAUSE… Even as a full adult, Puddles and ice cream still exist. You can still go out and collect nature's treasure, Getting lost in the magic of the search. PAUSE… It's really about giving yourself permission, To go back for the things you've loved. There are no requirements when it comes to joy, And no reason to keep it from yourself. Inhale and imagine more pleasure in your life, more laughs, more dancing, more puddles. Exhale and see the possibilities, the path to lightness and bliss.

Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium Find yourself a quiet place, Somewhere you can just be. Close your eyes and focus on you, Tap into your inner joy. PAUSE… It can feel like that joy is missing, But deep down, you know it's there. It may be buried beneath other things, But its light burns bright behind the scenes. PAUSE… Life often tries to cover it up, Whether on purpose or by circumstance. So many emotions pile on top, Making us forget it's a part of us. PAUSE… You don't have to let that illusion stand, Don't have to let the happy memories fade. Instead, there are ways to reignite that joy, To let it wash over you regularly. PAUSE… One of the best ways to make that happen Is to set your spirit free. Remember how much it loves to dance, And make space in your mind for the party. PAUSE… Picture yourself really letting loose, Twirling merrily and showing off. Rattle the rafters and shake the walls, As you shimmy for all you're worth. PAUSE… The music you hear can be anything, Whatever sets your soul on fire. See yourself dressed in bright, flowy clothes, Spinning, smiling and moving. PAUSE… Throw back your head and kick up those heels, Feel the elation flow through your body. Whether you dance in your mind or out in the world, The thrill can be just the same. PAUSE… The key is to make it a habit, To regularly seek out delight. Let the YOU within stay in touch with bliss, And the outer YOU will benefit too. PAUSE… Once your heart gets a taste of that abandon, You'll find yourself looking for more. Moments that once felt ordinary, Will start to glow with possibility. PAUSE… It's crazy how easily we surrender to the darkness, How quickly we forget what we need. It takes effort and true dedication To stay in touch with our authenticity. PAUSE… When you dance, you're as honest as you can be, Moving as one with your truth. So wobble, baby, wobble for all you're worth, And then explore whatever shakes loose. PAUSE… There's no such thing as too much joy, And in fact, we're often deficient. The sooner you take steps to turn that around, The sooner music can fill you up. PAUSE… Give yourself the pleasure you need. Ignore the voices that try to stop you. As often as you can, just dance, dance, dance, And let the bliss fall where it will. Namaste, Beautiful

Surrender to the night, And let her hold you close, And remind you that you're not alone. Breathe in deep, And fill yourself with air.

LONG PAUSE… Imagine yourself in the arms of the night, Safe and loved. PAUSE… She rocks you gently, And whispers in your ear. PAUSE… I see you. You are loved, LONG PAUSE… Relax deeply into the night, And know that you're okay. PAUSE… Full, Connected, Loved. LONG PAUSE… Sweet Dreams, Beautiful.

Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium Come to sleep, my love, it's time to rest. Turn off the thoughts inside your head and let your body fall deeply into the comforting arms of sleep. Close your eyes and invite your body to relax into your most favorite sleeping position. Bring your attention inward. Noticing the weight of your body on your bed. Feeling the softness of your sheets or blankets. Hearing the soft whispers of your breath as it enters and exits your nose. Observing where your body may be tight and inviting those areas to relax. Relaxing your cheeks and jaw. Lowering your shoulders, Softening your belly, Relaxing your arms and legs. Surrender to the soothing rhythm of your body, And breathe. PAUSE… One by one, the thoughts may bubble up to the surface of your consciousness. Begging for your attention. They tease you with a false sense of importance, Making you feel like you have to give into their cries. But you don't. Their dramas don't need to be played out right now. Now is your time for sleep. Your time to restore your mind, body and soul. Your time to be embraced by the loving arms of the night. Nothing needs to be done. Nothing needs to be figured out. Just breathe… PAUSE… The thoughts will continue to arise and that's normal. They may be helpful thoughts, trying to manage or organize your days. Or maybe they're excited thoughts, swirling with people, ideas and experiences that make you smile with hope and exhilaration. Or maybe they're anxious thoughts, soaked in worry, fear and stress. They could even be seemingly random and strange thoughts, depicting memories or insights that don't make much sense. Whatever is coming to the surface, See if you can imagine each of these thoughts as a small glowing ball of light, floating in the air around you. And every time you breathe out, Imagine that your breath extinguishes the light on one of these thoughts, one of these balls of light. Breathe out and turn off the thoughts. One by one. With each breath out. Darkening the space around you as each ball of light turns off and vanishes into the night. Breathe out. Breathe out. PAUSE… As another thought comes up, imagine it again as a glowing light around you, And as you exhale, blow out the light, and watch it dissolve into the night. Breathe in, And blow out another light. Breathe in, And blow out another light. PAUSE… What was once bright with all the glowing lights of thoughts, Is now dark. Empty. Peaceful. Quiet. Inhale and feel the fresh air filling your belly, And exhale into the darkness. PAUSE... Anytime another thought comes up, Just see it as a small, glowing light, And then blow it out on your exhale. This is your special space of stillness. Where your body can relax, And your mind can clear, So you may drift off into deep sleep. Sweet Dreams, Beautiful

PAUSE… Release your hips, Soften your belly, And relax your legs. LONG PAUSE… You are one with the sleepy ocean. One with your dreams. One with the gentle waves of the night.

By the karma of perfect destiny, I do this. This is Nanak's prayer: O my Lord and Master, may I obtain the Blessed Vision of Your humble servants. || 2 || They are said to be very fortunate, O Beloved, who who dwell in the Society of the Saints. They contemplate the Immaculate, Ambrosial Naam, and their minds are illuminated. The pains of birth and death are eradicated, O Beloved, and the fear of the Messenger of Death is ended. They alone obtain the Blessed Vision of this Darshan, O Nanak, who are pleasing to their God. || 3 || O my lofty, incomparable and infinite Lord and Master, who can know Your Glorious Virtues?

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 We hold on so tightly, To the outcomes that we want. Our fingers squeeze around them, And our hold locks into place. PAUSE… Our vision hones in on what's within our grip, And suddenly everything else is invisible. PAUSE… We wait and we watch, Counting the moments as we stare, Completely oblivious to anything else around us. PAUSE… What we don't realize, Is that we're suffocating our desires, The tighter we hold. And we become blind to the manifestations of our dreams, That aren't born inside of our fists. PAUSE… So dream, sweet one, Visualize and hope, And take action every single day. But peel back those fingers, And loosen that grip. Widen your gaze, And detach from the outcome. So creativity can flow, And you can breathe. Breathe now, Pulling the air in deep into you, As it fills you up. And then release, As you exhale all that air out. PAUSE… One more deep breath in, Expanding your belly and chest to their max, Gathering up those details, Thoughts, And worries, And then releasing them all, As you breathe out. PAUSE… Now, bring your breathing to a soft, easy rhythm, And be here for a bit. One with the movement of your body, One with the openness of your mind. LONG PAUSE… Holding on tightly to the outcome we want, Will not ensure we get it. But it will steal our attention, Intensify our emotions, And cause our minds to obsess. PAUSE… So imagine your hand opening gently, On the outcomes it desperately holds. Imagine your fingers slowly peeling back. PAUSE… Watch those petals of desires, Unfurl and expand, Free from the pressure, Free to breathe. PAUSE… Breathe here with them, And find a gentle rhythm that nourishes. PAUSE… Feel the soft breeze kiss your face, And dance with the colorful petals in your open hand. PAUSE… Slowly and beautifully, The petals ride the waves of the breeze, As they float away in all directions, Free to land where they're meant to be. LONG PAUSE… And here you are, Light and peaceful, Relaxed and calm. Surrendered to the magic of the petals, That will dance and spin, Until they're ready to land. 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 Come to sleep, my love, it's time to rest. Turn off the thoughts inside your head and let your body fall deeply into the comforting arms of sleep. Close your eyes and invite your body to relax into your most favorite sleeping position. Bring your attention inward. Noticing the weight of your body on your bed. Feeling the softness of your sheets or blankets. Hearing the soft whispers of your breath as it enters and exits your nose. Observing where your body may be tight and inviting those areas to relax. Relaxing your cheeks and jaw. Lowering your shoulders, Softening your belly, Relaxing your arms and legs. Surrender to the soothing rhythm of your body, And breathe. PAUSE… One by one, the thoughts may bubble up to the surface of your consciousness. Begging for your attention. They tease you with a false sense of importance, Making you feel like you have to give into their cries. But you don't. Their dramas don't need to be played out right now. Now is your time for sleep. Your time to restore your mind, body and soul. Your time to be embraced by the loving arms of the night. Nothing needs to be done. Nothing needs to be figured out. Just breathe… PAUSE… The thoughts will continue to arise and that's normal. They may be helpful thoughts, trying to manage or organize your days. Or maybe they're excited thoughts, swirling with people, ideas and experiences that make you smile with hope and exhilaration. Or maybe they're anxious thoughts, soaked in worry, fear and stress. They could even be seemingly random and strange thoughts, depicting memories or insights that don't make much sense. Whatever is coming to the surface, See if you can imagine each of these thoughts as a small glowing ball of light, floating in the air around you. And every time you breathe out, Imagine that your breath extinguishes the light on one of these thoughts, one of these balls of light. Breathe out and turn off the thoughts. One by one. With each breath out. Darkening the space around you as each ball of light turns off and vanishes into the night. Breathe out. Breathe out. PAUSE… As another thought comes up, imagine it again as a glowing light around you, And as you exhale, blow out the light, and watch it dissolve into the night. Breathe in, And blow out another light. Breathe in, And blow out another light. PAUSE… What was once bright with all the glowing lights of thoughts, Is now dark. Empty. Peaceful. Quiet. Inhale and feel the fresh air filling your belly, And exhale into the darkness. PAUSE... Anytime another thought comes up, Just see it as a small, glowing light, And then blow it out on your exhale. This is your special space of stillness. Where your body can relax, And your mind can clear, So you may drift off into deep sleep. Sweet Dreams, Beautiful

PAUSE… Let yourself move around a bit, Until you find your favorite sleeping position. PAUSE… And then breathe in deep, Filling yourself up with fresh, cool air. And then release your breath, All the way out. PAUSE… Another full inhale now, Filling up from your toes, All the way up to the crown of your head. Holding it at the top for a moment. And then exhaling with a sigh, Releasing all the air, All the tension, As you melt a little deeper into your bed. PAUSE… Be here, Relaxing into a soothing, slow rhythm, Of breathing in, And breathing out. PAUSE… Inhaling just a bit deeper each time your breathe in, And exhaling just a little longer each time you breathe out. PAUSE… Breathe… And relax. LONG PAUSE… All day long, Little pieces of toxicity have entered your body, And snuck into your mind. PAUSE… The food you ate, The water your drank, The words that landed upon your ears, The visions that played before your eyes, And the thoughts that bubbled up in your head. PAUSE… They've accumulated within you, And now you can consciously let them go, Clearing your mind, Cleansing your body, Leaving you light and free. LONG PAUSE… So see if you can imagine a soft, gentle hand hovering over you. She's warm and kind, And places herself on your heart. PAUSE… Like a magnet, she calls all those pieces of toxicity to her, And one by one, They come. Releasing their hold on you, And landing in this gentle hand. PAUSE… Your heart immediately feels lighter, Cleaner, And whole. LONG PAUSE… The gentle hand finds her way to your belly. You feel the warm energy of her touch, And see her calling all those pieces to her. PAUSE… One by one they leave you, Leaving everything in this area clean, And clear. LONG PAUSE… The soft hand places herself on both your legs, And the toxins are in her pull. PAUSE… Feel them gather up and release their hold, From your toes, Your feet, Your ankles, Up to your knees, And all the way to your hips. PAUSE… Your legs are clean, And clear. LONG PAUSE… The gentle hand now hovers over your back. Watch as all the toxins detach from your lower back, Slowly up your spine, All the way up to your neck, Releasing their hold, Helpless against the magnetic pull of the detoxifying hand. LONG PAUSE… Now feel the warmth on the crown of your head, As the soft hand rests here. Millions of toxic pieces swim in your mind, And one by one, They are pulled into the palm of the loving hand. PAUSE… Let her absorb them all, Releasing the toxins from your mind, Leaving you clean, And clear. LONG PAUSE… Rest now, dear one, And float through the land of dreams. Clean, And clear. Namaste, Beautiful

LONG PAUSE… The gentle hand now hovers over your back.

O Nanak, the Guru is the Supreme Lord God, the Transcendent Lord; He is ever-present, forever and ever. || 1 || I live by hearing, hearing of those who know their God. They contemplate the Lord's Name, they chant the Lord's Name, and their minds are imbued with the Lord's Name. I am Your servant; I beg to serve Your humble servants. By the karma of perfect destiny, I do this. This is Nanak's prayer: O my Lord and Master, may I obtain the Blessed Vision of Your humble servants. || 2 || They are said to be very fortunate, O Beloved, who who dwell in the Society of the Saints. They contemplate the Immaculate, Ambrosial Naam, and their minds are illuminated. The pains of birth and death are eradicated, O Beloved, and the fear of the Messenger of Death is ended.

Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium Breathe in deeply, And pull yourself into this moment. Fill your entire body with air, Holding it at the top for just a moment. And then breathe out, Releasing the day, Releasing the thoughts. Another deep breath in, Gathering up all the things left undone, The grey clouds of emotions hiding inside, Hold it at the top, Hold, And let it go, Releasing all of it through your exhale. Bring your breathing to an easy, natural rhythm, And then allow yourself a moment to find your most favorite sleeping position. PAUSE… Come here, Into your bed, Your safe island of refuge. Your worries, fears and anxieties want to snuggle with you here, And keep you awake. But tonight, They're not welcome. Tonight, they are banned from your safe, sleepy island. PAUSE… So relax, Exhaling yourself deeper into your bed. Imagining the air flowing into your body as you inhale is finding all those parts of your body that are tense right now, And with its gentle touch, Dissolves that tension as your exhale releases it, Relaxing you deeper with each breath. Breathe in and let the fresh air find the tension in your forehead, Your eyes, Your cheeks and jaw, And your neck. Breathe out the tightness. PAUSE… Feel your inhale finding the stress in your shoulders, Your arms, Your chest, And your stomach. Breathe out and release the tension.

LONG PAUSE… As your body quiets, Your mind may be getting louder. Sneaking in random flashes of visions that want to wake you. But instead of looking too long, See if you can see those thoughts or visions as they pop up, And image them magically morphing into the shape of a shell. A vision pops up, A fear, A worry, An anxiety, And watch it shift into a shell, Nestled in the sand on your safe, sleepy island. PAUSE… One by one, Observe any of those visions, Anxieties, Worries, Fears. As your body lies here in the comfort of your bed, Just notice those thoughts come up, And change into shells, That now rest at the foot of your bed, On the beach of your safe island of sleep. LONG PAUSE… Keep searching for them, Those heavy anxieties, worries and fears plague your mind, And collect them, And placing the shells on your beautiful beach. PAUSE… When all the shells have been gathered, And are piled high on the sand, Imagine yourself looking at them, Without emotion, Without meaning, And feeling safe knowing they are not within you, They are not a part of you. PAUSE… And as you breathe in deep, Feeling the fresh spaces now open inside of you, Reach down, And take those shells, Moving them into the boat on your beach. One by one, Take those shells of anxiety, Of worry, Of fear, And place them in the boat, Until you see all of them piled high within its walls. PAUSE… Close your eyes, Raising your face to the warmth of the sun, Letting your mind clear in this moment, And then place your hands on your boat, And push it out into the ocean, Watching peacefully as the waves carry it all away. PAUSE… You feel clear, Light, Deeply relaxed, And free from all of those shells and their heaviness. They are no longer here on your peaceful island of sleep.
SORAT'H, FIFTH MEHL, SECOND HOUSE, ASHTAPADEES: ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: They read scriptures, and contemplate the Vedas; they practice the inner cleansing techniques of Yoga, and control of the breath. But they cannot escape from the company of the five passions; they are increasingly bound to egotism. || 1 || O Beloved, this is not the way to meet the Lord; I have performed these rituals so many times. I have collapsed, exhausted, at the Door of my Lord Master; I pray that He may grant me a discerning intellect. || Pause || One may remain silent and use his hands as begging bowls, and wander naked in the forest. He may make pilgrimages to river banks and sacred shrines all over the world, but his sense of duality will not leave him. || 2 || His mind's desires may lead him to go and dwell at sacred places of pilgrimage, and offer his head to be sawn off; but this will not cause the filth of his mind to depart, even though he may make thousands of efforts. || 3 || He may give gifts of all sorts — gold, women, horses and elephants. He may make offerings of corn, clothes and land in abundance, but this will not lead him to the Lord's Door. || 4 || He may remain devoted to worship and adoration, bowing his forehead to the floor, practicing the six religious rituals. He indulges in egotism and pride, and falls into entanglements, but he does not meet the Lord by these devices. || 5 || He practices the eighty-four postures of Yoga, and acquires the supernatural powers of the Siddhas, but he gets tired of practicing these. He lives a long life, but is reincarnated again and again; he has not met with the Lord. || 6 || He may enjoy princely pleasures, and regal pomp and ceremony, and issue unchallenged commands. He may lie on beautiful beds, perfumed with sandalwood oil, but this will led him only to the gates of the most horrible hell. || 7 || Singing the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, is the highest of all actions.

#16 | July 07, 2021 July Energy Update: “Allow for a Pause/Take One Step Back for Two Steps Forward” With the Solstice Energy and entering July, there are energies of enthusiasm and inspiration coming in. How exciting! Let's face it, we are all interested in getting things going and moving yet it can look differently for each of us. As we move into the next phase of post pandemic life, make sure to take some time to check in to see where you are in your processing of the past year. I have been hearing from a lot of my clients who are antsy and ready for things to get going yet at the same time the prospect of having fun can feel a little scary, overwhelming, anxiety-inducing. While others are having repressed thoughts and feelings like anger, grief, stress, sadness surface about the pandemic and the overall past 15 months. Some are feeling like summer is here and woohoo let's get going! While others, have a feeling of cautious sense of normalcy and a slower approach as restrictions are lifting, restaurants opening fully and loved ones to coming back to together. As we stand on the precipice of post-quarantine life, July's energies are encouraging us to allow for a pause or a one step back for two steps forward. In this post pandemic, if you are ready to get going, get moving, and get productive – that is understandable – yet we will encourage you to make sure to continue utilizing the tools that in this last year you have cultivated. Take time to continue to pause, reflect, set intentions, meditate, exercise, and continue taking care of your beingness. Because with every push forward, for the human at this time, there can also be a need to pause or even step back as well to see what hasn't been in completion in the co-creation space. There can be resistance energies emerging to the pause or step back so check in to see where you are in the processing for the human. Remember, we are building new containers this month for the future and dreams of a more beneficial life and a more abundant world. This will not happen overnight, however, how you handle this month, especially the “pause” or the step back” will influence where we go from here as a collective. So, stay optimistic, clear your clutter, your past and your old containers, and allow the opportunities of what the pause or step back are offering to allow your steps forward are truly going in the most beneficial direction with ease and grace. How the month shows up: As we move into July with the Planetary New Year on July 26th and the Lions Gate on. August 8th, the energy continues to rise and intensify. We are being asked to vibe as high as we can. It can be challenging at times yet the more you utilize tools to support the human, the easier it can be. That being said, it can still be uncomfortable at times for the human, so utilize tools and patience to support dense energy clearing – remember once dense energy releases, you will feel lighter, more at peace, more energized and possibly be up-levelled to higher vibrational frequency and consciousness. July 9: New Moon in Cancer July 23: Full Moon in Aquarius I want you to come here to Inspiring You and have the freedom to express where you are at, what you are in need of, hope for and open to learn about new tools and try some well-tested ones. I want this to be a place where you can know that even in your darkest moments, there is grace and light. Even in the most uncomfortable situations, there is a divine opportunity for personal growth for it is all happening for you and through you, for you highest good. Begin to be a Master of your Light, Groundedness, Alignment and Connection. Become the master of managing your energy. Become the Healer of your own life. Press play and have the belief to always expect miracles for the highest good. Have a wonderful month!

Story 48 – Peter in Prison Based on Acts chapter 12 Sometimes terrible things happen and we don't know why, we just have to trust God that He knows, the situation isn't out of His control and we can trust Him no matter how bad things get. And things were pretty bad. You see, for some reason, King Herod Agrippa, the grandson of that awful King Herod the Great who'd wanted to kill the infant Jesus when he'd heard the ‘King of the Jews' had been born in Bethlehem, got it into his head to follow his evil grandfather's ways. He began to persecute the church, arresting some of the believers and causing them harm. What we found particularly hard was what he did to James, John's brother. Herod Agrippa had James killed with a sword, cutting off his head. It was one of those times when we just had to say to the Lord, ‘We don't understand, but we do trust You', as we mourned his death. But our enemies, the Jewish leaders, and many of the Jewish people who'd refused to accept that Jesus is the Messiah, were delighted when they heard that Herod had killed one of the apostles; one of those who'd lived with Jesus, walked and talked with Him and seen all the amazing things He'd done and heard all the wonderful words He'd spoken. A man, no less, who'd met the risen Lord Jesus and was a witness to His resurrection. And, when Herod realised the Jews were happy that he'd had James killed, and because he needed the Jews to like him because of some political trouble he was having with Rome, he decided to do more terrible things to the church, to fight against it, just like Saul had done. So, he had me, Peter, arrested. He didn't plan to give me a fair trial or allow me to put my own case forward. No, what he planned was a nice little show trial before I was to be publicly executed, no doubt to the delight of the Jews - because pleasing the Jews meant Rome was happy. You'd have thought I'd have been terrified by the prospect of death as I lay chained to, not one, but two soldiers who slept in the cell with me - while more soldiers stayed on guard outside my cell. In fact, Herod had ordered four sets of four soldiers to guard me, to make sure no one could rescue me and that I couldn't escape. But I had no plans to try and escape; in fact, I wasn't terrified at all. You see Jesus Himself had told me that I would die a death that was anything but natural and maybe this was it? So, I had no need to worry, He was in control. And what made me even more certain was that I knew without a shadow of a doubt that the church was praying for me, praying that the Lord would do … well, whatever the Lord felt was right. (PAUSE) One of the things about being able to trust the Lord no matter how bad the situation is that you don't have much problem going to sleep. So, the night before I was to be paraded before my enemies and put to death, I fell asleep knowing that, whatever happened, God was in control. There I was, sound asleep and chained between two guards, when I felt a sharp prod on my side. I opened my eyes to see what was happening. There was a really bright light in the cell and standing beside me was an angel from the Lord. Now, I ought to make it clear that I'd been so fast asleep, that I didn't think I'd woken up properly! I thought it wasn't real and must be some kind of vision from the Lord. Anyway, then the angel said to me, ‘Quick, get up!' So I started to sit up, feeling extremely dopey. And, as I sat up, the chains that were holding me to my captors just fell off while they stayed sound asleep! And then the angel, with great patience, started to organise me. ‘Now get dressed,' he said, and I got dressed. ‘Put your sandals on,' he said, and I put my sandals on. ‘Now put your coat on.' he continued. So I picked up my coat and put it on, and then he said, ‘Follow me.' So I started to follow him, still not sure if I was dreaming! Well, we walked straight out of the cell, past the first set of guards and then past the second set until
Story 43 – Beyond Jerusalem Based on Acts chapter 8 verses 4 to 40 So Stephen was dead and, as those who hated the church swept through Jerusalem to arrest and imprison every believer they could find, the rest of us fled for our lives, not sure what to think! Satan, the enemy of God, seemed to be winning, killing Jesus' followers and making it almost impossible for us to carry on meeting together. As for me, Philip, I escaped Jerusalem just in time and started to go north, to the area called Samaria. The Jews hate the Samaritans because they think that Samaritans aren't proper Jews but a mixture of Jews and non-Jews and so they avoid Samaria and Samaritans as much as possible. I hoped that would put off those persecuting the church from following me there. Mind you, it's not really a good place for any Jew to go, because the hatred goes both ways, and the Samaritans hate the Jews just as much, the two groups having as little to do with each other as possible. As I pondered on all that was happening, I couldn't help thinking about another time when Jesus' followers had thought that Satan had won – when Jesus was crucified! Back then, the disciples didn't understand or believe that, even when Jesus was taken to the cross to be executed, God was still in control. And, because God was still in control, when Jesus died on the cross, far from it being a great victory for Satan, it removed all Satan's power as Jesus took away our guilt so that Satan couldn't tell God how terrible we were any more! So, now, when things seemed so bleak with Stephen dead and the rest of us scattered, was God still in control? Of course He was! And yet, what was I supposed to be doing? As I arrived in Samaria, the words of Jesus that the apostles had told us about came to mind. Jesus had said that we'd be witnesses to Him in Jerusalem, yes! But He'd also said we'd be witnesses to Him in Samaria and I was in Samaria! And, anyway, I just couldn't keep quiet about all the Lord had done, so, when I entered the city of Samaria, I started telling them about the Messiah, about Jesus. I didn't know what to expect, but I simply couldn't keep quiet! God was with me as the Holy Spirit worked with great power through me, enabling me to do all kinds of miracles. Those possessed by evil spirits were freed and the demons left with a shriek! The sick were healed – both paralysed and lame – and, because of it, the people listened very carefully to everything I had to tell them about Jesus and there was lots of joy in the city. (PAUSE) One thing I've learnt is that, when the Lord's at work through His people, Satan's at work as well! (P) In that city there was a man called ‘Simon the Sorcerer'. For many years he'd claimed to be someone of great importance and all the people, from the most ordinary right up to the rulers, often called him ‘the Great One – the Power of God'. The reason they all thought so much of him was because of the magic he performed. But now, many people in that city believed the message I brought them about the Kingdom of God and about Jesus. And because of that many men and women were baptised. Even Simon seemed to believe what I said and was baptised. Yet, rather than getting on and showing he really believed by doing what God wanted, he followed me around everywhere I went, wanting to see the miracles God was doing through me. And, when he saw them, he was amazed! – But more on Simon later. I don't know if you remember, but God had shown us that when we believed, He'd send the Holy Spirit to us in a special way. He'd ‘baptise us with the Holy Spirit', to use Jesus' words. But a funny thing happened when I was in Samaria. Many people had heard my message about the Kingdom of God and believed what I said and been baptised into the name of Jesus, and yet, the Lord hadn't baptised them with the Holy Spirit! (P) Anyway, when what was left of the church in Jerusalem heard that the people in Samaria had accepted God's message, they quickly

BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: They read scriptures, and contemplate the Vedas; they practice the inner cleansing techniques of Yoga, and control of the breath. But they cannot escape from the company of the five passions; they are increasingly bound to egotism. || 1 || O Beloved, this is not the way to meet the Lord; I have performed these rituals so many times. I have collapsed, exhausted, at the Door of my Lord Master; I pray that He may grant me a discerning intellect. || Pause || One may remain silent and use his hands as begging bowls, and wander naked in the forest. He may make pilgrimages to river banks and sacred shrines all over the world, but his sense of duality will not leave him. || 2 || His mind's desires may lead him to go and dwell at sacred places of pilgrimage, and offer his head to be sawn off; but this will not cause the filth of his mind to depart, even though he may make thousands of efforts. || 3 || He may give gifts of all sorts — gold, women, horses and elephants. He may make offerings of corn, clothes and land in abundance, but this will not lead him to the Lord's Door. || 4 || He may remain devoted to worship and adoration, bowing his forehead to the floor, practicing the six religious rituals. He indulges in egotism and pride, and falls into entanglements, but he does not meet the Lord by these devices. || 5 || He practices the eighty-four postures of Yoga, and acquires the supernatural powers of the Siddhas, but he gets tired of practicing these. He lives a long life, but is reincarnated again and again; he has not met with the Lord. || 6 || He may enjoy princely pleasures, and regal pomp and ceremony, and issue unchallenged commands. He may lie on beautiful beds, perfumed with sandalwood oil, but this will led him only to the gates of the most horrible hell. || 7 || Singing the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, is the highest of all actions. Says Nanak, he alone obtains it, who is pre-destined to receive it. || 8 || Your sl --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gsjhampur/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gsjhampur/support

One whose mind is afflicted by the disease of egotism, cries out in birth and death. || 2 || Everything is clear to one whose eyes are blessed with the ointment of spiritual wisdom. In the darkness of spiritual ignorance, he sees nothing at all; he wanders around in reincarnation, over and over again. || 3 || Hear my prayer, O Lord and Master; Nanak begs for this happiness: whereever Your Holy Saints sing the Kirtan of Your Praises, let my mind be attached to that place. || 4 || 6 || --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gsjhampur/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gsjhampur/support

Based on John chapter 1 verse 29 to chapter 2 verse 11 Water at a Wedding! ‘Look', said John as Jesus walked towards him. ‘There's the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. I didn't know He was the One, but my work of baptising people was to point to Him! You see, God told me that when I saw the Holy Spirit come down and rest upon someone, that person would be the One I was waiting for. I didn't know it was Jesus until I saw it happen – the Spirit of God came down and rested on Him! He's the One you're looking for. He's the One who'll baptise with the Holy Spirit – I saw this happen to Jesus, so I can say with absolute certainty that He is the Son of God,' Next day as John stood with two of his followers, Jesus walked by. ‘Look,' said John. ‘The Lamb of God!' At this, the two followers turned and started to follow Jesus. When Jesus looked round and saw them he asked, ‘What do you want?' ‘Teacher,' they replied, ‘where're you staying?' ‘Come and see,' He replied. And they stayed with Him for the rest of the day. (PAUSE) One of those two followers was a man named names Andrew who had a brother called Simon Peter. As soon as he could Andrew rushed off to find his brother. ‘Guess what?' he said. ‘We've found the Messiah! Come on, come and meet Him.' So Andrew took Simon to meet Jesus who looked closely at him. ‘You're names Simon, son of John,' He said. ‘But you will be called Peter.' Next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee, and as he prepared to go He found Philip. ‘Come on,' He said. ‘Come and be my disciple.' And then, just like Andrew had before, Philip rushed off to find his friend Nathanael. ‘We've found the person Moses and all the prophets wrote about long long ago.' He said, ‘His name's Jesus, Son of Joseph, from Nazareth!' ‘Nazareth!' Nathanael answered. ‘Nazareth? Surely nothing good can come from that place?' ‘Come and see for yourself,' Philip answered, and took Nathanael to Jesus. And as they approached Jesus He looked at Nathanael and said, ‘Now here's an honest man – a true son of Israel.' This took Nathanael by surprise. ‘But you don't know me.' He replied. ‘I saw you under the fig tree before Philip came to you.' Jesus replied. This was mind blowing for Nathanael. How could Jesus have known about him if He wasn't who Philip had just said He was, and so he spluttered out. ‘T-T- Teacher, you really are the Son of God – the king of Israel!' Jesus smiled. ‘You believe that just because I told you I saw under the fig tree? Well, you're going to see far greater things than that!' He said. ‘One day you'll see heaven open and the angels of God going up and down upon the Son of Man.' (PAUSE) Not long after this Jesus and His close followers, called His disciples, were invited to a wedding celebration in the small village of Cana. Mary, Jesus' mother, was also there as a guest. Now, in those days wedding feasts could last anything up to a week - so they had to be planned well in advance - so the host didn't run out of food and wine for his guests. To run out of things would be a great embarrassment to the bridegroom who'd find it hard to live down –a very bad start to your married life! Now, maybe they hadn't counted on Jesus and His disciples turning up, or maybe they'd just made a terrible mistake! But whatever the cause, the wine supply began to run low and was in danger of running out completely! And as it ran out, Mary called Jesus to one side for a chat. ‘Son, they've run out of wine!' ‘How does that concern you and me?' He asked. ‘ My time hasn't come yet.' (P) Mary new her son, and she knew that He could help. But Jesus wanted Mary to understand that the power God had given Him wasn't simply to get His own family out of trouble. It was given to show people who He was and how much God loves them. But instead of getting cross and upset at His reply, Mary understood that she should leave it with Jesus and trust Him to do whatever was best and right. And so turning to the servants she...
Based on Luke chapter 3 verses 1 – 20 and Matthew chapter 3 verse 13 to chapter 4 verse 11 Baptised and Tempted ‘Who warned you – you brood of snakes? Who warned you about the coming judgement?' Did he know who he was talking to? Had John gone completely out of his mind? He was calling the people of Israel – Jews – descendents of Abraham - a bunch of evil snakes! This prophet, this man of the wilderness was certainly causing a stir! (PAUSE) Just the look of John was enough to worry most people. His clothes were made of woven camel hair with a big leather belt around it all to hold it together! And he came out of the wilderness preaching … the Kingdom of Heaven was near. ‘Turn away from your evil deeds,' he shouted. ‘And turn back to God before it's too late! The Kingdom of Heaven is near.' Just a short while before, this unusual man who had lived in the wilderness, eating locust and wild honey, had received a message from God. It was to time for him to start to warn the people to turn away from their evil ways and be baptised! But only non-Jews were baptised – to show that they had changed and wanted to become part of the Jewish people, Jews were already the people of God, weren't they? Surely they didn't need to be baptised? ‘Who warned you – you brood of snakes?' John continued. ‘Who warned you of the coming judgement? Don't just pretend to be holy, prove that you really are children of God by the way you live your lives. Show by your words and deeds that you have turned away from sin and turned back to God. And don't think that you're safe just because you happen to be Jews – descendants of Abraham! God could change these stones into children of Abraham if He wanted – just being born a Jew won't keep you safe! For even now the axe of God's judgement is poised, ready to blow, to cut at your roots! Every tree that doesn't produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire.' When he talked about trees he was using it as an example of what would happen to the people, everyone who didn't turn to God and live a good life would have to face terrible punishment! As John preached, the people realised that something new was happening. Many years before a prophet called Isaiah had talked about John and written about him saying, ‘He is a voice shouting in the wilderness; ‘Prepare a pathway for the Lord's coming! Make a straight road for Him!'' So who was John? Could he be the Messiah himself? Was he the one they'd all been waiting for? ‘All those who turn away from their past self-centred lives and decide to live lives that please God, I baptise with water,' John shouted. ‘But there is another person coming. And He is so much greater than me I'm not even worthy to be His slave. I baptise with water, but He will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. He is ready to separate out those who are truly children of God and those who only seem to be. Like a farmer separating the grains of wheat from the chaff they grew in, so He will separate those who love God and those who don't. The one He will gather to Himself, but the other – like chaff – will be burnt with everlasting fire.' So John was just a messenger - preparing the people for the coming Messiah. (PAUSE) One day as John was preaching, Jesus arrived to see him – and asked to be baptised! ‘Surely not!' said John. ‘Surely you should be the one baptising me? You don't need to be baptised, you haven't committed any sin?' But Jesus looked at John and said, ‘John, it must be done. I must do everything that's right.' Shaking his head in amazement, John took hold of Jesus and lowered Him down into the water and then back out again. And as He came up out of the water the heavens were opened and the Spirit of God, in the shape of a dove, descended and settled on Him. And as this happened so a voice from Heaven – the voice of God - thundered, ‘This is my beloved Son, I am fully pleased with Him.' (PAUSE) As all these wonderful things happened, the...
Based on Genesis chapter How it all went wrong God had finished His work of creation, He'd made the grass and trees, the birds and animals and the insects and fish. But most important of all, he'd made people, the first man Adam, and the first woman Eve. Adam and Eve's job was to look after the world that God had made. It was all so good and perfect, everyday God Himself would come and walk and talk with Adam and Eve in a garden that He'd planted for them - the Garden of Eden. And when they heard Him in the garden they'd run to be with Him. And they loved to be with God and talk with Him about all that they were doing. Everything was perfect, everything was just how it was supposed to be (P) but it wasn't going to last. In the Garden of Eden, God had planted a tree, called 'the tree of the knowledge of good and evil'. And He told Adam and Eve that if they ate the fruit from that tree they would - die! It seemed strange to them, the 'tree of the knowledge of good and evil' was fine to look at and it's fruit was as good as any other, and yet they were forbidden to even try it? And anyway, what was - death? Adam and his wife couldn't really understand properly - because there was no death in the world. They just knew it wasn't what God wanted and so - they left it alone. Anyway, there were plenty of other trees in the garden, apples and pears, bananas and oranges to name just a few - so it wasn't hard to leave the tree alone. If God had said not to touch it, He must have a good reason (P) they may not understand but they knew they could trust God. (PAUSE) God had put that tree in the garden because He wanted to know if the man and the woman really loved Him. (P) If they obeyed Him by not eating the forbidden fruit then He would know that they did love Him. But, if they disobeyed Him and ate the fruit, then He'd know that He wasn't as important to them as He should be. It was all so simple. Leave the fruit alone and all would be well. (P) But temptation often comes when you know something's wrong! Now, into the Garden of Eden, where the man and the women were living and working, there came an enemy of God. And disguising himself as a snake, he hid by the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, whose fruit Adam and Eve were forbidden to eat. The enemy of God hated God and wanted to destroy all the good works God had done. He wanted to spoil God's perfect creation, and had planned just how to do it! (PAUSE) God knew what the enemy wanted to do, but He didn't stop him being near the tree. He didn't even stop the enemy from talking to the man and woman, because He wanted the man and woman to love Him by choosing to obey His simple command and not eat the fruit - no matter what anybody said to them! (P) All heaven waited to see what the man and woman would do. (PAUSE) One day, as they worked in the garden, Adam and Eve came near to the place where the enemy, disguised as a snake, was waiting. As the woman was nearest to it, the snake started talking to her. 'Hello,' he said. 'Hello,' she replied. 'This is a very beautiful garden you live in,' continued the snake. 'Thank you,' replied the woman, 'God planted it for us and asked us to look after it.' Then the crafty snake asked a question that started to twist what God had said. 'Tell me, did God really say that you aren't allowed to eat any of the fruit in the garden?' 'Of course we can eat it,' replied the woman. Then she pointed to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 'It's only the fruit from that tree that we aren't allowed to eat. God said that we shouldn't eat it, or even touch it, or else we will - die!' 'You won't die,' lied the snake. 'God said you weren't allowed to eat that fruit because He knows that when you do you'll be able to understand everything and become as wise and as powerful as He is.' 'Ooh', said the woman. And as she looked up at the glistening fruit hanging temptingly on the tree, she saw how ripe it looked...
