LONG PAUSE And keep breathing,  letting every breath soar through your body with calm, centering energy. LONG PAUSE And as you relax into the serenity, your mind opens,  and you ready yourself for a relaxing journey. LONG PAUSE Imagine sitting on the deck of a slow-moving ship crossing the ocean   near Iceland. PAUSE The airs is infused with a chill that is both energizing and comforting, and you’re wrapped in a snug, puffy jacket and a cozy blanket. PAUSE And, as you sit on the deck, your attention is pulled to the sky, where a concert of lights is playing. PAUSE Blues, pinks, greens and yellow lights wiggle and flash between the stars. The colors ignite clouds  in amazing bursts of beauty. The aurora borealis is on full display for you. PAUSE After a few moments, the lights change  from seemingly random light bursts to a coordinated stream of light waves raining down from the sky. PAUSE The rain waves shimmy and skip,  moving across the sky  like a parade, and then, disappear into the midnight canvas. PAUSE Someone brings you hot chocolate, with tiny pink and green marshmallows, and as your stir the steamy drink, the marshmallows melt, leaving streams of color like the night sky.  PAUSE A half moon is shining,  peeking out from behind the clouds of light, while still casting its glow on the waves below. PAUSE As the ship moves through the dark waters, tiny diamond waves ripple beneath it, as if choreographed to move between the colored reflections of the sky. PAUSE A whale cuts through the inky water, pausing long enough for his face to be caught between  the dancing light waves. PAUSE The whale spouts through his blowhole, then sinks beneath the dark watery landscape, only to reappear ahead of the ship, and sink again. PAUSE The night returns to its stillness, with the symphony of colors still flashing and pirouetting in the sky. PAUSE After a few moments,  the ship passes a glacier. The icy glacier is aglow with the dreamy colors of Aurora borealis. PAUSE You take in the glacial lightshow, playing like a movie on a majestic white screen, while also streaming in the sky. PAUSE A nippy breeze kicks up, and the ship rocks gently for just a moment, as the breeze  softly echoes among the glaciers. PAUSE A shooting star  interrupts the lights, but only for a minute, between the black horizon. PAUSE As the light show plays on, you feel the arms of sleep wrapping around you, Ever so gently. You know your time at the dancing sky is drawing to a close. PAUSE You stay for just a minute longer, long enough to catch The neon green light show spectacular. PAUSE Then you snuggle more deeply into your coat and blanket, and find your way to a warm and cozy bed, Dreams of the aurora borealis,  Dancing its light around you.

That it feels bruised with sadness. So bring your broken heart to your bed with you tonight,  And let your tears softly carry you into deep sleep. Gently place your hand on your heart, Feeling the warmth of your skin, And the thumping of your heart against your hand. PAUSE… Feel it all, beautiful. The heaviness, The sadness, The deep pangs of your broken heart. It’s okay to feel it all here, In the swirling streams of tears. PAUSE… Let each breath out release more of the emotions, And lay you deeper into the comforting arms of rest.  Breathe... PAUSE... Imagine yourself lying back into a gentle river, The water warm and welcoming. Feel yourself floating, Weightless, Surrendering your body to the movement of the water. PAUSE… Feeling your arms spread and relax, Your legs open, Your body soft. Let the water touch your forehead,  Whispering that everything is going to be okay. Bring your tears here tonight, she says, And let their pain fall into me, Mixing into the colors and depths of my waters.

She will not judge you, She will not diminish you, She will not suppress you. She will just love you, Accept you, And invite you to open your broken heart to her. So float in the comfort of the warm water, And open yourself to the night. LONG PAUSE... Healing will come, It will fill all the empty part, It will mend all the brokenness, It will turn the pain into strength and wisdom.  PAUSE… But for now, let yourself float in the pool of your broken heart, For there is beauty in the breakdown, Catharsis in the tears. Breathe, And float.

Sometimes we forget, To stop all our running, So life can be quiet and hush.  PAUSE… Our shoulders relax, Our minds slow down, A giant exhale is released.  Our body unwinds, More space opens up, Our grip upon life is unleashed. Feel yourself expand, And open up more, Let go of the doing right now.  There’s nowhere to be. Nothing to do, Just be here, and allow.  LONG PAUSE… Feel yourself unwinding,  And slowly letting go, Falling into the abyss. If you can just trust, That everything’s okay, This moment is truly bliss.  LONG PAUSE… Relax, And unwind. Release, And let go. Surrender, And find, You’re worthy, When slow.  LONG PAUSE… The layers peel off, With every conscious breath, The thoughts slow down and dissolve. Here in this moment, Feel the open depth, Everything upturned will resolve.  PAUSE… So many of us learn, That we have no worth, If achievements are not racking up. We strive and collect, And check off those tasks, Hoping we’ll measure up. PAUSE… But one truth you’ll find, When you finally unwind, Your stillness is your portal home. Within it you’ll see, Your worth is a guarantee, Apart from achievements alone.  PAUSE… So slow down, And be. Relax now, And breathe. Unwind here, And know, You’re clear, You flow.  LONG PAUSE… Feel yourself unwinding,  And slowly letting go, Falling into the abyss.

Close your eyes and wait for the message, For the wisdom you might not expect.   PAUSE… We don’t always give the heart credit For knowing as much as it does. We’re told that’s where the irrational stuff sits, The emotions that take us by storm.   PAUSE… But why do we fear the feelings? Why do we work to avoid their grasp? What if they just appear over the top Because we’re trying too hard to play it cool?   PAUSE… Strong emotions are not unfounded, Not senseless or groundless or dumb. In fact, they are likely the clearest clues To the choices we most need to make.   PAUSE… We’re taught that our head is the place to go, Whenever we’re feeling in doubt. List the pros and the cons, we’re often told, As if wisdom requires neat lines and charts.   PAUSE… But the head is so full of the world’s noise, So polluted and overstuffed. It’s hard to sort out what’s real and what’s not, Which can make the final result such a mess.   PAUSE… By contrast, the heart is inherently pure, At least it is when we get out of its way. It will tell us the truth, even when it’s hard to hear, And it knows when we’re leading it astray.   PAUSE… The heart isn’t only for matters of love, Though that is a true specialty. But we love many things in this life of ours, So its reach is much longer than it appears.   PAUSE… You can consult with your heart about anything, For it will rarely steer you wrong. And when it does get confused, your gut keeps it in check, As it steps in to make the path clear.   PAUSE… Breathe deep once again and listen well, Hear whatever your heart wants to tell you. Sometimes the messages are hard to hear, But they can save you from pain in the end.   PAUSE… Though the mind has its place in many things, And it’s always worth examining your logic, The heart is so much better at making the call, When truth is at stake above all.   PAUSE… It’s important to trust all the voices within, Since they tend to work as a team. But never write off the heart as foolish or fickle Without taking time to find out what it knows.   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 Rest the weary parts of you, Time to treat yourself with care. Settle in for the night and take a breath, Try to pull evening’s calm within.   PAUSE… It can be so very difficult, To reach for what we want. To bend and stretch and push beyond The rigid lines we’ve drawn for ourselves.   PAUSE… At first, it feels impossible, Like something will break or split. We fear the pain and stop too soon, Before change can truly take root.   PAUSE… But staying the same is painful too, And sometimes we even lose ground. We close our eyes and look away, Then pay the price farther down the road.   PAUSE… But why are we here, if not to change? Life itself means constant motion. From bones and cells to hearts and minds, Transformation is how we survive.   Breathe in and think about how far you’ve come, and how much that journey means. Breathe out and imagine how far you could go, how much more you have waiting inside. LONG PAUSE… Stretching comes in different forms, Testing both body and mind. Sometimes it’s our choice, and sometimes not, But resistance shows up either way.   PAUSE… Even if we want to change, Discomfort can make us worry. It can make the choice seem like a mistake, And send us running for an easier path. PAUSE… Escape is often the true dead-end, And hiding just makes us weak. No matter how tight our muscles feel, They yearn to do more than exist.   PAUSE… Our promise lies not in what we do, But where we can go from there. So when we choose to hold our place, We miss out on whatever we might dare.   PAUSE… There’s a secret you need to remember, A trick that might ease the way. When some part of you starts to protest the stretch, Just breathe and see it through.   PAUSE… Like so many things in this world, The answer is not what you’d think. Rather than stopping when resistance shows up, Let your breath push it out of the way. PAUSE… Holding your course may be scary at first. It may make you feel ill at ease. But in the moment after you take that breath, Relief will come your way.   PAUSE… The stretch will start to feel natural, Something you were meant to do all along. You may even crave another breath, A chance to push for even more.   PAUSE… The only way out is through, they say, And that’s true of growth as well. There is no shortcut to strength or gain, You must put in the time to change. PAUSE… That change can begin with just one breath, One bold moment that causes a shift. From there, the stretch gets easier, As imagined obstacles fade.   PAUSE… Once you learn to embrace the difficulty, Whether body, heart, or mind, You can breathe your way through other things, Finding freedom in the challenge. PAUSE… So practice now as you fall asleep. Push your thoughts away with your breath. Then sink into that fresh, clear space, And hold it open for serenity to come. PAUSE… You have the power to go anywhere, There are limitless paths to explore. But just like a stretch that makes your muscles ache, The journey will ask you for more.   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.
