What if’s and maybe’s, Worries and excitement, My fear I cannot hide.  PAUSE… My hand comes to heart,  My eyes softly close, My breathing becomes slow.  I take a step forward, And then another until, I’ve set a course and I go.  LONG PAUSE… The path that I’ve chosen, Isn’t without its pain, The bumps have made bruises and scars. I find myself wondering,  If I went the wrong way, If the other would have taken me far.  PAUSE… I look towards the dreams,  That I thought would exist, At the end of this road that I chose. I race fast ahead, Forgetting the point,  To feel the path under my toes.  PAUSE… Stop your striving, Slow your pace, Enjoy the path that you’re on. Take your focus, Off of the goal, And be here before it’s all gone.  LONG PAUSE… Right here and right now, In this sacred space, I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.  No matter which path, No matter the dream,  In this moment, I am free.  PAUSE… With fresh eyes I see, All I’ve endured, Has shaped who I am right now.  And all of those worries, That I’m not far enough, Start to dissolve somehow.  PAUSE… I breathe in deep, And fill myself up, With air that cleanses and clears. I bring myself in, To this moment now, And let go of all of the fears.  LONG PAUSE… Right here and right now, In this sacred space, I’m exactly where I’m meant to be. No matter which path, No matter which dream, In this moment, I am free.  Sweet Dreams, 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.

Your words and your demeanor,  Can become really corrupt.  PAUSE… Just take a deep breath, At the moment you want to shout. Shut out the noise, And invite peace throughout. LONG PAUSE… You don’t have to do, One more thing that brings stress. You don't have to complete, One more task on your list.  PAUSE… Your value doesn't come, From all the things you do. It’s who you are and how you love, So let your soul shine through.  PAUSE… Breathe and relax. The calm will slowly return. Breathe and be still. The storm will stop its churn. LONG PAUSE… Let your feet touch the Earth, Let the wind graze your skin. Let the sun warm your bones, And calm you deep within. PAUSE… Let go of the tasks, That dance inside your head. Let go of the things you think, Will get you far ahead.  LONG PAUSE… Come deep into this moment, The only you’re guaranteed. Surrender to the stillness, Everything is here that you need.  PAUSE… Breathe and relax. The calm is here right now.  Breathe and be still. Invite it in and allow.  LONG PAUSE… Your roots have dug in deep, To the dirt below your feet. Your branches can’t be broken, You’ll bend, but won’t be beat.  PAUSE… The strength that holds you up, Amidst the harshest storms, Is always here within you, It comes in many forms.  PAUSE… So when you feel like breaking, When anxiety fills you up, Breathe in and remember, To stop and fill your cup.  PAUSE… Breathe and relax. You’re one with the soothing calm.  Breathe and be still.  All those stresses are gone.  LONG PAUSE… Sweet Dreams, 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.

Where it touches the Earth, No one seems to know.  LONG PAUSE… You can feel the colors cascade, From your head to your toes,  Saturating you in prism’s delight.  Every color touches you, And each has a purpose, Let them glow upon you tonight.  PAUSE… The deep glow of red, Warms at your base, Comfort, safety and stability. Your root chakra knows, When you clear this space, You’ll feel the tranquility. PAUSE… The shining lights of orange, Just inches above. Sensuality and pleasure. Breathe and clear it now, The sacral chakra holds, So much precious treasure.  PAUSE… Rise into the yellow, That shines your center, Personality, strength and power.  Relax your body deeply, Opening and releasing, To nourish and empower.  PAUSE… The heart center glows, With loving lights of green, Compassion, acceptance and love. Feel the energy flow, And your mind gently clear, You feel it from above. PAUSE… Light blue rays shine, And beam from your throat, Expression, inspiration, creativity. Imagine your mouth, Opening wide, Sharing your proclivities.  PAUSE… You see with your third eye, Indigo glows from you, Intuition, calm and trust.  Melt a little deeper now, Coming gently into you, You see alignment is a must.  PAUSE… The violet radiates and flows, From the crown of your head, Spirituality and enlightenment. Take a deep breath, And then let it go, The rainbow leaves you content.

Close your eyes and slow your breath, Make room for calming peace. PAUSE… Focus on your body first, On the ease seeping into your limbs. Feel your muscles let go, one by one, Relaxing you from head to toe. PAUSE… Lay your hands atop your heart, Breathe in and give thanks for its strength. Tune in to its gentle, persistent beat, And let the rhythm pull you deeper within.  PAUSE… When your body feels fully grounded, Move your attention to your mind. Find the door to your imagination, Slowly open it and peer inside. PAUSE… Picture a place you’d like to go, Or even a long list of destinations. There are no limits to where you can go, When your dreams are leading the way. PAUSE… The places you choose may be real ones, Or they may be long-held fantasies. The only requirement is that they speak to you, That they promise adventure and delight. PAUSE… So settle on a spot that fills you with joy, Draw its outlines in your mind. Imagine the colors and shapes and smells, Let it come to life all around you. Take a deep breath and surrender, feel the magic start to build. Exhale and prepare to take a trip, to go where your wishes lead. LONG PAUSE… Perhaps those wishes live on a lush, green island, Surrounded by a misty blue sea. In the distance, a lofty treehouse awaits, While soft breezes beckon you closer. PAUSE… As your body soars toward paradise, Open your heart even further. Hear the birdsong, see the vibrant flowers, Become one with the tranquility of this place. PAUSE… Imagine landing gently on silky, pristine sand, Your feet settling into its warmth. See yourself walk into stunningly clear water, Gradually giving yourself to the waves. PAUSE… You lean back and float in the ocean, Drifting serenely under striking blue skies. You’re safe and at peace, completely content, Needing nothing but the beauty all around you. PAUSE… When you’ve had your fill of floating, Dry off with the help of bright sun. Make your way up to your treehouse retreat, Curl up and enjoy the leafy view. PAUSE… As you rest, your thoughts might wander, Imagining another lovely locale. Once again, the world is yours. You can go wherever inspiration takes you. PAUSE… Maybe you’re longing for rolling hills, Broad vistas dotted with trees. A warm, cozy cottage deep in the valley, Perched next to a bubbling stream. PAUSE… Ask your mind to take you there, To fly you where you long to be. Freedom is yours, especially now, When relaxation is what you need. Inhale and feel the joy of flight, of surging across the sky. Exhale and acknowledge the lightness in your heart, hope’s essence made real. LONG PAUSE… This time you land on velvety grass, A luxurious pillow beneath your feet. You stand and listen to the music of the stream, Let the water’s song fill your soul. PAUSE… All around you, the stunning landscape rises, Making you feel both small and immense. The core of you comes alive in this place, And your spirit grows tall and powerful. PAUSE… A delicate rain begins to fall, Refreshing you with its touch. You lift your face to the misty sky, Full of gratitude for nature’s welcome. PAUSE… Your attention turns to the cottage before you, Your heart longs to feel its embrace. You walk inside and build a fire, A bright blaze to make you snug and warm.

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 Take a moment and turn inward, shifting all your  attention to yourself. LONG PAUSE Let all the clamor  of the day and the responsibilities and stress fall off you like water and then evaporate. LONG PAUSE And draw in one more deep breath and let it go, centering on  your third eye, the space between your eyes. LONG PAUSE Now, envision walking on a hilly sidewalk in San Francisco with a brisk breeze nuzzling your cheeks. PAUSE On each side of you are glorious Victorian homes, in all pastels  like an artist’s palette. PAUSE Curling around the homes are gorgeous bay windows  that catch the sunlight, and where you see couples sit and chat and school girls read. PAUSE As you reach the top of the hill, you see ice blue water in the distance, and hear the sound of a cable car passing. PAUSE Children on the cable car wave to you,  and you marvel at  the young man who jumps off  and pulls the lever  to stop. PAUSE You board the cable car and find a seat on a brown wooden bench, just as a man calls, “All clear!” PAUSE Along the way,  the cable car stops at the  green dragon gates of Chinatown, and a group of  women board. PAUSE The women quietly chatter, oblivious to anyone else, their voices thick with vowel sounds that cut off quickly. PAUSE As the cable car comes to a stop, you get off and walk to the end of a pier where a herd of sea lions  stretches across the rocks. PAUSE The shiny black males bark and bob their heads up and down for emphasis. PAUSE While gazing at the creatures, a slender, tan female with dark eyes like magic pools catches your attention. PAUSE She lifts her head from a baby seal that is nestled close to her body and gazes directly at you. . PAUSE For a moment, you both watch each other, with a feeling of understanding passing between you. PAUSE A male calls for her, and the female returns  her attention to her herd, with her baby cuddling even closer. You can’t help but smile. PAUSE Now, imagine if you can, closing your eyes and being transported from the pier to Golden Gate Park. PAUSE As you open your eyes, you find yourself right in front of  the pagoda of  the Japanese Tea Garden. PAUSE Your eyes climb the five-storied tiers of the pagoda, each fanning out in a beautiful red.  PAUSE As you gaze at the beautiful structure, the energy of the pagoda seems to reach out to you, and fill you with heightened perception. PAUSE  An awareness of all  that is around you, the natural beauty of the trees and lakes and the tea garden itself, fills your being. PAUSE You draw in a deep breath and decide to have a cup of tea in the garden and bask in this incredible awareness of nature. PAUSE The tea, a warm lifeblood, streams into your body, soothing it. PAUSE After tea,  you meander through the park until you come to paddock with a small herd of bison, which you had heard lived in the park. PAUSE The great  chocolate and auburn creatures graze and snort until one with a tuft of fuzzy dark hair  piled on her head spies you. PAUSE The female stands  mighty and strong. Power oozes from her core,and she inspires awe in you.  PAUSE After a moment, the female bison approaches at a steady and deliberate pace, close enough to look at you with her dark, rich eyes. PAUSE You and the bison lock eyes  in a soulful gaze where she imparts to you her history.

Lift your thoughts up to the sky, Feel the sun’s warmth on your face. PAUSE… When our lives feel out of whack, Whether in heart, body, or mind, Few things make a difference, Like nature’s gentle hand. PAUSE… Picture your favorite place on earth, The outdoor space you love the most. Use your mind to take you there, Feel your body grow lighter as you approach.  PAUSE… Perhaps you’re seeing waterfalls, Or rocky cliffs with snow. Maybe you’re sitting on the beach, Watching dolphins swim to and fro. PAUSE… Perhaps you’re in a forest glen, Or a meadow full of flowers. It might even be your hometown park, Where you and your friends once played for hours. PAUSE… Focus on the feelings this place inspires, The deep reaction in your soul. There’s likely joy and peace and awe, But even sadness could play a role. PAUSE… Ask yourself what this place gives you, Ask what makes it so special in your mind. Then ask what you might need from it today, What wound or break must be realigned. PAUSE… Once you know what needs attention, Then shift your thoughts toward the cure. Your remedy will soon reveal itself, Nature knows best, even when you’re unsure. PAUSE… Whatever defines your special place, Be it water, trees, or sand. Pull its magic into your core, Taking healing by the hand.   Take a breath and feel the pain ebb, feel what you need returned. Exhale and hold onto your peaceful state, let your vitality seep back in. LONG PAUSE… Even if you weren’t aware Of what, if anything, could be wrong. Life takes its toll, and wears us out, And drowns out our cheerful song. PAUSE… Nature gives that song back to you, You need only make the time. Visit often, with sincere intent, And your soul will feel sublime. PAUSE… Choose a number of special places, Destinations for your awareness. Choose one whenever your spirit’s out of sorts, And let earth’s gifts lead you back to wellness. PAUSE… Let Nature’s power activate the power in you, Make use of the beauty it offers. You’re stronger when you let loving energy in, And that strength cycles back to help others. PAUSE… It’s true what they say, that Nature knows best, And its circular healing touches all. Never forget that you are part of web, That it’s there for you whenever you call.   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.

If you’d enjoy it and would like more Reiki resources from her, visit TinaConroy.com.  I invite you to place your hands on your heart. Settle into this moment, Resting your body and lying down. PAUSE… This energy treatment will help soothe your nerves, Release any tension and stress. Breathe with me now. Take a nice long slow deep breath in, And exhale through your mouth and release. PAUSE… I call forth blessings of healing today. I call forth your own spirit, spirit guides, angels, guardians, and masters, To surround you in healing. Feel free to place any special intention in your own mind, And we call this forth for the highest and greatest good. PAUSE… As you begin to settle in deeper and deeper, It may be difficult to let go. Feel the back of your head, Surrender into the surface your lying on, So that you feel completely held and supported. Todays healing treatment will feel like a fresh new day, Releasing any negativity and bringing in positive beautiful feelings LONG PAUSE… Begin at the tips of your toes. Feel your feet and the heals placed on the floor or bed relax. Allow your legs to completely let go of any tension or any holding. Notice your ankles soften, your shins and calves melt, Your knees relax, your upper legs and hips surrender, Your lower back lets go of so much tension your holding, Your belly soft and sweet. PAUSE… Relax any tension in your upper chest and shoulders, And down your arms, Your throat and neck soften, And your face is completely relaxed.  PAUSE… I know you’ve been holding so many thoughts in your mind, That's caused so much stress and anxiety. But in this moment feel at the top of your head, As I place my hands, this beautiful warm healing light. Go within your body and begin to notice, All the many places that are stuck or blocked. And this light will travel to all of them for balance and peace. PAUSE… Explore with me now as you go within your body, And notice any areas that are holding this tension. It may be a feeling, a knowingness, Or perhaps you see it as a gray mist. This Reiki energy pours in from the top of your head, It’s pure white light, this light of healing begins to move throughout your body. The top of your head feels warm and inviting. Your hair and your scalp feel soft and surrendered. I move my hands over your eyes, And the warmth is so powerful the face feels as if the sun is basking down. Your eyes settle in, the skin around the eyes soften, All tension in the face melts. PAUSE… This current of Reiki energy moves to the jaw, the teeth, and the tongue, Relax your mouth and jaw. Those areas of gray mist are slowly disappearing. I place my hands over your throat, Feeling this warm sensation in the throat center, Invoking the purest communication self, Eradicating negative thoughts and thinking, And bringing forth positive thoughts of well being, Shifting those inner thoughts to positivity and love, Gently I move my hands to your heart. Feel yourself take that nice sighing breath. You’re melting more and more, Your shoulders feel light... 💗💗💗 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.
