Look for the bright spots, no matter how few, And sink into their warmth once again.   PAUSE… Notice what those moments have in common, Notice what they brought out in you. Remember how strong or joyful you felt, Pull those feelings deep into your heart.   PAUSE… Such moments don’t have to be rare in life, Nor must they be hard to find. If you created them once, you can do it again, The power lies within you.   PAUSE… The first step is to believe it, To truly know your strength. To understand the role you play In getting what you need. Breathe in slowly, feel that strength wrap its energy around you. Exhale deeply and release what’s in your way.   LONG PAUSE… Think about when you last felt at peace, In sync with everything in your midst. Picture the source of your contentment, Conjure its image anew. PAUSE… Perhaps you were on vacation, Away from duties and cares, Finding joy on the open water, Or nested in a majestic forest.   PAUSE… Maybe you were with family, The people who know and love you best. Or friends who always make you laugh, Who sense exactly what you need.   PAUSE… Maybe you were having an adventure, Exploring the world’s delights. Breathing in history and eating good food, Making this gorgeous planet your own.   PAUSE… Within those memories, there are details, Bright recollections like firefly trails. Those are the moments that changed you, That showed you how high you could fly.   Inhale as you imagine your spirit rising, floating in a sky full of potential. Exhale and picture yourself changing, feel your heart and mind expand.   LONG PAUSE… Now that you’re in touch with what moves you, With the bliss that makes life worthwhile, Use that happiness as a road map, As a way to light up the mundane. PAUSE… We can enjoy the things we must do, Nearly as much as doing what we choose, If we let ourselves glimpse the sacred in both, And remember that each one feeds the other. PAUSE… The ordinary can be beautiful, When carried out with purpose. If you paint each moment with its own tiny brush, The splendor is free to emerge. PAUSE… With practice, your vision begins to change. Your outer view softens and shifts. Soon you realize how little distance exists In the space between effort and ease.   PAUSE… Toil asks less when it is meaningful, Since purpose lightens the load. A lighter heart finds lighter paths, And leaves the darkness to sputter in its wake. PAUSE… Sink deeper into your peaceful place, Let your soul dance through your dreams. As your rest your body and silence your mind, New possibilities have room to emerge.   Take a deep and certain breath, knowing the shift has begun. Exhale that breath and feel the hope, a better tomorrow on the horizon. LONG PAUSE… Though the process may seem out of reach, In truth, you create your life from scratch. You alone are the architect, And your wisdom guides your hand.   PAUSE… Tomorrow you’ll begin the quest, One small step at a time. You’ll view your life with brand new eyes, And aim for better things.   PAUSE… 💗💗💗 Check out all the deals from our incredible sponsors here! --> https://womensmeditationnetwork.com/sponsors 💗💗💗 Check out all of our other podcasts at https://womensmeditationnetwork.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The night is here upon you, Ready to take you away. PAUSE… I know your shoulders are weak, From carrying so much. I know there’s refuge you seek, In the night’s healing touch. PAUSE… Those grains of sand of tasks, Seem like no big deal. But as they pile up, Their weight feels like steel.  PAUSE… But if you just breathe, And escape the storms in your mind.

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 Give your body the gift of a nighttime stretch tonight, so you can melt into deep relaxation and ease into sleep. So settle into your bed, positioning yourself as comfortably as you can on your back. Take a moment to cover yourself in your blankets if you like,  And then allow yourself to simply lay still for a few moments, As your attention shifts from all the outside noise of the day, To the calm inside your breath. PAUSE… Feel your body relaxing further with every breath, As the warmth of your soft bed pulls you in deeper, Deeper, Deeper.  PAUSE… Now slowly bring your attention to your arms, And slowly extend and stretch them in any direction that feels comfortable for you. Stretching them long as you feel your muscles expand, holding it for just a moment. And then release the stretch,  Allowing your arms to settle deeper into comfort. PAUSE… Now bring your attention to your neck, And slowly drop your head to one side, feeling the stretch on the side of your neck as you do. Breathe into the stretch, staying with the pull of the muscles, And release. Drop your head to the other side, stretching the other side of your neck, Imagine that muscle stretching and relieving any pain or tension it does, And then release,  Bringing your head and your neck back into a deeply relaxed and comfortable position. PAUSE… Now let your attention fall upon your face, As you open your mouth wide, stretching out the muscles in your cheeks, mouth and forehead. Keep expanding the stretch, feeling the muscles release the weight of the day, And then release,  Relaxing your forehead, face, cheeks and mouth,  As they melt into your pillow.  PAUSE… Now for the last stretch, reach your hands up above your head and stretch your legs out as far as you can, Pointing your toes and opening your fingers,  Imagining your body being pulled from the top and bottom as your body expands. Feel the stretch align your spine, And release any pieces of stress or tension stored in your body. And release,  Feeling the rush of calmness in your body, As you allow yourself to now settle into your favorite sleeping position. PAUSE… Breathe. If there’s any more tension or pain in your body, Breathe it out through your exhale.  And then surrender further into the comfort of your bed. Breathe and release. Breathe and relax.

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 Something’s ruffled your feathers, Something’s under your skin, Your heart is racing inside.  Your mind is spinning, With all the scenarios, You feel like you want to hide.  PAUSE… So take a deep breath in, And slow yourself down, There’s something hidden underneath. Your ego is reacting, It feels threatened somehow. It’s time to observe what’s beneath. Let your breath come in, And bring you to the now, And remind you that you are okay. There’s nothing to fear, And you are enough, It’s simply a chance to survey. PAUSE… Let your body melt, And release the tension you feel, Exhale all the stress and the pain. Relax your face, Your arms and your legs, And see if you can calm down your brain. LONG PAUSE… What lies beneath, The ego that flares, With frustration or anger or blame? Maybe some fear, That you’re not good enough? Maybe some sadness or shame? PAUSE… Without any judgment, With mountains of grace, Take time to explore what’s below. What you find in the shadows, May be a surprise, Or it may be something you know.  LONG PAUSE… Follow the path, To the point of the pain, That caused your ego to scream. Embrace it with love, With forgiveness and hope, And observe as it releases its steam. PAUSE… Your brave choice to look, Beyond what occurred, And see what triggered within you, Ensures you’ll transcend, The root cause that’s here, Dissolving its power from view. PAUSE… Let your breath come in, And bring you to the now, And remind you that you are okay. There’s nothing to fear, And you are enough, Let your soul light the way.

Time to clear your mind, And surrender your body to pools of deep relaxation. So invite yourself to snuggle in, Gently moving into your most favorite position.

PAUSE… And then take a full, deep breath in, Inhaling the night’s air deep into your lungs, And then exhale,  Melting deeper into this special spot.   PAUSE… Concentrate on your breathing, Inviting your mind to hold its attention  On the rhythmic movement of air in and out of your nose.  PAUSE… Breathe in, Breathe out.

Feel it deeply relax your eyes, Soften your cheeks, Release your jaw, Soften your mouth, And relieve your neck.  LONG PAUSE… Notice as the soft, lavender light travels down, Wrapping its soothing energy around your shoulders, Your right arm, Your left arm, Your hands.  PAUSE… Notice the soft hum of sleep it spreads here, And then feel your shoulders drop, Your right arm and your left arm melt, And your hands soften and relax, LONG PAUSE… The soothing lavender light now settles onto your chest, Relaxes your belly, And slowly cascades down your back,  Following your spine from your neck, All the way down to your lower back. Relaxing and releasing, Relaxing and releasing. LONG PAUSE… Invite the calming energy of the soft, lavender light to spread into your hips, Down into your thighs, And circling around your left leg, And now your right leg. PAUSE... Watch it spiral all the way down into your right foot, And then your left foot. And then covering your toes, One by one. LONG PAUSE… Breathe deeply, And feel yourself wrapped lovingly in the soothing, Lavender light of the night. PAUSE… Let it heal you, Let it cleanse you, Let it relieve your body of all the tension it carries. Let it relieve your mind of all the thoughts inside.  PAUSE… Feel it wrap you in the warmth of love, And safely guide you through the night.
