Far away from the thoughts, And the movement of your mind.  PAUSE… Sink a little further, And as you do, allow your body to stretch. Straighten your arms,  And your legs out wide, As far as they can reach. Hold them here for a moment,  Squeezing and gathering up every bit of pain, Stress, And detail inside.  PAUSE… And then exhale,  And release the stretch, Letting it all go,  And softening your body even further. LONG PAUSE… Now place your hand, On the side of your head, And slowly pull it down to one side, Stretching the side of your neck. PAUSE… Breathe into the stretch, Expanding the space inside, And inviting in relief. PAUSE… Now reverse the stretch, Gently pulling your head down from the other side,  Feeling the stretch on the other side of your neck. Breathe… And feel every fiber stretch out all that tension.  PAUSE… And then release the stretch, And feel the warmth of the relief, As you melt further into bed. LONG PAUSE… Feel into your body, And bring your attention to your neck.  Imagine all the points of pain, All those spots of tension, Are glowing soft red.  PAUSE… Breathe into those places, From the bottom of your skull, Down the sides of your neck, And into the contours of your upper shoulders. PAUSE… Imagine everything opening, And softening.  Opening, And softening, As you breathe in relief, And breathe out tension.  LONG PAUSE… Notice that the soft red glow, Becomes a little dimmer now, And your head feels a little lighter.  PAUSE… Now imagine your spine stretching, From the bottom of your back, All the way up to the top of your neck. Pulling, Extending,  Straightening. Opening up the space between every vertebrae. One by one, Making space, And releasing the pain.  LONG PAUSE… The glowing red dims again,  Almost completely. And your body feels spacious. Heavy and deeply relaxed, And also light and open.  Namaste, Beautiful 💗💗💗 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.

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 Lay your body down, And allow yourself to settle.  Let yourself move and adjust a bit, Until you find your favorite sleeping position, And your body feels at home.  PAUSE… Now take a big, deep breath in, Gathering up all the pieces of your day, And then hold it for just a moment. And then exhale,  And release.  PAUSE… Breathe in deep one more time, Gathering up all the worries, the plans, the details. Hold it at the top, And then release,  Breathing all of it out. PAUSE… Let your breathing settle into a soft, Gentle rhythm, As you bring yourself inside. Notice the slow rising, And falling, Of your belly and chest.  Notice the cool air on your nose as you breathe in, And the warm air on your nose as you breathe out.  Notice the soft sounds of the night, Humming lightly in the background.  Be here, And just breathe. LONG PAUSE… Now imagine a soft, indigo blue light, Hovering just above your head. See if you can feel its warmth, Melting onto you, And covering you with peace. PAUSE… Feel it gently cover and soften your forehead, Your eyes, Your cheeks, And your lips.  Let your jaw release, And drop your tongue from the roof of your mouth.  Feel your entire face soften and relax. PAUSE… Imagine the indigo light falling gently, Down your neck,  Covering your shoulders, And traveling down your right arm, And your left arm.  PAUSE… Imagine the indigo light, Pulling out the tension, Releasing the stress, And relaxing you deep, Deep, Into the night.  LONG PAUSE… The soft glow of the indigo light, Slowly moves down your body, Blanketing your stomach, And your hips. You feel it streaming down your back, From the top of your neck, Down, down, down, To the bottom of your spine. Slowly relaxing you, As you let go, Release, And allow your body to sink into the night.  LONG PAUSE… The warm glow of the indigo light, Descends down the expanse of your right leg, Then your left leg, Relaxing the thighs, Your knees, Your ankles, And your feet. PAUSE… Allow any remaining thoughts, Worries, Or emotions, To float down, Down, Out of you, Releasing themselves into the darkness, And floating far, Far away, From you. LONG PAUSE… Feel your body softly hum, With the comforting vibrations of the loving indigo light.  She covers you tonight, As you melt deeper into the safe arms of sleep.

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 💗💗💗 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.

See if you can open real wide,  The space that’s been confined.  PAUSE… Breathe in deep,  Breathe out slow, Come into your body now.  Breathe in deep, Breathe out slow, Let go and just allow.  LONG PAUSE… If you come into this moment now, You’ll see with clarity.  That most of the worries that haunt you, Don’t exist actually.  PAUSE… They’re born of what if’s and how’s, And holding on too tight, To the future that you think you know, You feel you must get right.  PAUSE… Follow your breath into your soul, And bring yourself right here.

Just a few clicks makes it easy for you to listen on your favorite podcast player.  Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium Breathe in deeply, And then go inward deeply, To your center of peace. LONG PAUSE Continue breathing and holding a place of peace– A place of serenity and relaxation. LONG PAUSE Now, let your mind unwind. Let any tense or distracting thoughts Simply evaporate. Feel the peace as they disappear. LONG PAUSE Continue breathing, and now imagine stepping outside  on a cool, spring day. The air is a mixture of  warming sunshine and the last gasp of winter’s chill. PAUSE As you stroll, you notice tiny pockets of snow still dotting the ground, white tufts with green and brown life pushing through. PAUSE Green stems and buds  rise from the ground like sentires awakening from a fairy-tale slumber. They rise and reach toward the warming sun. PAUSE As you walk, a nippy breeze  catches in the trees, trembling them for a moment, and then returning them to strength and calm. PAUSE The branches of the trees are peppered with bud, some like green leaves: Others like tiny white flowers. When another breeze shakes the trees, the buds hold on eager for their chance to bloom. They won’t give in. PAUSE As you walk along, a flock of birds flies above. Some land in a tree near you, and begin chirping happily, buoyantly, as they make their way back from the warmer climes of the South. PAUSE You pause near the tree, listening to the chorus of joy, and noticing the beautiful red breasts of the birds, dancing between the branches. The robins are back. PAUSE A little farther down the path, water burbles, and you see the first flow of an icy stream  as the water melts.  PAUSE In the stream, translucent shards of ice still cling precariously  to rocks and branches. They soon give way to  the stream’s destiny. And the water flows. PAUSE A silver fish with a rainbow on its back, pops its head out of the water, then sinks back into the stream, darting in, out and around bits of ice. PAUSE The sun rises higher in the sky, beaming its warmth to you, and moderating the chilly breeze. You find a rock by the stream, and perch yourself upon it. PAUSE A pair of deer stop by the stream, dipping their noses in the water, and lapping it up with their tongues. They pause when they see you;  then scamper away. PAUSE While sitting on the rock, an enormous sense of peace fills you. With spring’s kiss, Nature awakens around you. You feel calm. You feel connected. You feel part of Nature at your core. PAUSE As your time at the rock comes to end, you stand and leave, feeling the ultimate peace, the ultimate connection to life. And you carry that back with you to embrace and share..

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 Our former selves are ghosts to us, Still present but not really. Though it may seem like they’re past their use, In truth, their memory is a blessing. PAUSE… Close your eyes and see who’s there, Which versions of you still linger. Ask yourself where you all stand, If there’s anything you still wonder. PAUSE… Though we want to believe we shed those selves, When new understanding settles in, We actually move farther if we’re willing to embrace The messy past hiding within us. PAUSE… It’s not that we have to wallow there, Or relive what we’d rather not. But whatever they are, we are as well, And their scars have stories to tell. PAUSE…   If we don’t listen when they speak, Our present life just gets harder. For they know better than anyone else, What it takes to make us smarter. LONG PAUSE… Picture a younger version of you, hold yourself close as you breathe in gently. Prepare to listen as you speak to you, breathing out to make space in your body. PAUSE… What did she need that she didn’t find? What lessons did she teach you? Have you found what ‘that’ you lacked, Or are you still searching for answers? PAUSE… It may be daunting to look back this way, To see how much work remains. But taking stock reveals successes too, Showing you where you shine. PAUSE… Think of these selves like rings of tree, Their number growing as you age. And like those rings, they’re safely surrounded, By the growth you’ve toiled to achieve. PAUSE… They still exist like shadow selves, Appearing when circumstances demand it. But like the rings in the tree, or ghosts in the attic, They’re only glimmers of what used to be. LONG PAUSE… Inhale and accept the process, the ever changing shifts. Exhale and accept the necessity of keeping watch as you advance. PAUSE… At some point, you will all be friends, You’ll coexist gratefully. For they are pleased that you battle on, With the tools they crafted for you. PAUSE… The past is never quite what we think. Our memories let us down. But a sister-you never forgets a thing, And she’s there to cheer you on. PAUSE… So look more fondly on your past. Don’t fear what you have been. We all spend time in foolish places, Until we figure out where we belong. PAUSE… Even if you haven’t found that place,  The one that’s meant for you. Your early selves hold all the clues, And they believe in what you can do. LONG PAUSE… Breathe in as you take your ghosts by the hand, accepting what they offer. Breathe out and settle into their company, feeling more whole when you’re together.   Namaste, Beautiful 💗💗💗 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.
