The crickets begin to strum, Their sweet, light tune. The breeze begins to blow, The clouds across the moon. PAUSE… The trees begin to sway, Their leaves a calming song. Relax a little further now, The island is where you belong. PAUSE… Breathe and relax, Breathe and release. LONG PAUSE… Sway nice and slow, Feel the hums of the night. Breathe in the island glow, And hear its songs tonight. PAUSE… As you sink in deeper, As you unfurl your day, You’ll hear the soft singing, Of the waters at play. LONG PAUSE (OCEAN/WATER SOUNDS)... A soft lapping of waves, Keep kissing the sand at its shores. It’s almost as if it craves, Its water to be one with yours.  PAUSE… Surrender to the rhythms, The symphony of calming songs. The island is your home now, So sleep deeply until dawn. PAUSE… Breathe and relax, Breathe and release. LONG PAUSE… Sway nice and slow, Feel the hums of the night.

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, slowly and deeply, and allow your body to just let go, to just relax. LONG PAUSE Take another breath and turn off all  the thoughts and chatter of the day until there is quiet  in your mind. LONG PAUSE If a stray thought  makes its way into your consciousness, thank it, and let it  slide away. LONG PAUSE Take another long, deep breath and just become aware– aware of relaxing, aware of the present, aware of feeling at peace. LONG PAUSE Now, see before you a large, beautiful snowflake slowly twirling in the air. PAUSE The snowflake looks  like a carved crystal, with intricate designs all through it. PAUSE As you gaze at the snowflake, you see shapes and patterns delicately connecting with each other. PAUSE There are slender  crescent moons, solid pyramids,  delicate columns powerful pentagons and hexagons, all connecting  with each other. PAUSE After a few minutes, the snowflake begins to move, like it’s leading you  on a journey, so you follow. PAUSE As you follow the snowflake, you notice that other snowflakes join you on your journey. PAUSE The other snowflakes are smaller than the lead flake but share many amazing  crystalline patterns such as arcs, and spikes and other geometric shapes. PAUSE The smaller snowflakes dance in circles and flit up and down all while you comfortably follow the large snowflake. PAUSE Now, give yourself permission to imagine that, as you walk, warm clothes magically adorn your body, and a pair of socks and boots covers your feet PAUSE And while walking,  you see all the snowflakes coming together  like a magnificent winter snowfall, with you in the center, warm and comfortable. PAUSE As you stroll in the snow, you notice that it’s fresh snow, pure white and untouched, pristine in its beauty and stillness. PAUSE The snow gently crackles and pops beneath your boots, and you see that your boots leave the only prints in a sea of opaque white. PAUSE The snowfall pauses, and you get a sense of where you are, you’re somewhere in  a large park– a large park in a city. PAUSE Looking up, you can see  the silhouettes of  tall buildings beyond the boundary of the park, and their shapes are familiar: you’re in Central Park in New York City. PAUSE Yet, unlike most days, when the park is bustling with children playing, adults reading, and couples walking, today, there is stillness– just you and a magical snowfall. PAUSE You stop at a bench, and brush off the  caked snow  so you can sit and take in the  enchantment all around you. PAUSE Naked trees  bare their branches, with piles of snow  mounting on them. PAUSE The snow tests the branches to see how long they’ll hold, before giving way and letting the snow tumble to the ground. PAUSE Other tree branches sport delicate icicles, silvery spindles suspended from  their tips. PAUSE The snow sits still and undisturbed, a silent beacon of peace fanning out  for acres and acres. PAUSE While lost in the meditative calm, you notice the large snowflake has reappeared, now dangling and twirling  in front of you– letting you know it’s time to leave. PAUSE You gather yourself and follow the snowflake. Gradually, the snow gives way to your bedroom floor, and the warm clothes dissolve into sheets of your bed.

Just as we live our lives day by day, We go after what we want the same way. PAUSE… The key is just to keep moving, To pedal with all of your might. Keep those feet in steady motion, And the larger aim clearly in sight. PAUSE… Though your legs will regularly complain, And the sweat will roll right in your eyes. If you give in to the voice that wants you to quit, The prize you seek soon evaporates. LONG PAUSE… You’ll have to steer around the bumps, And veer away from things in your path. Sometimes there’ll be a detour, Or a shutdown you can’t bypass. PAUSE… Some days the wind blows hard and long, Directly in your face. Other days the sun zaps all your strength, Making you think you can’t go on. PAUSE… Angry clouds may threaten you, Promising to drench your plans. And tiny bugs dart up your nose, Making breath even harder to come by. PAUSE… But all of this is par for the course. It comes with the decision to ride. And nothing you’ll meet along the way, Is a reason to change your mind. PAUSE… The best part is when you hit your stride, When you cruise through the curves like a pro. When you suddenly feel like you could ride forever, And you finally know what’s so.  PAUSE… You won’t feel like that indefinitely; Fatigue will certainly return. But for a little while, you’ll be in the flow, Body and mind like one brilliant machine. PAUSE… That’s when your goals start to feel manageable, Like something you can easily achieve. And even if your confidence fades a bit, You finally know what you can achieve. PAUSE… Once you reach the top of a hill, No matter how many remain, Your spirit decides you have it in you, That you can do it all over again. PAUSE… Just take a breath and listen to spirit, To know that you’re plugged into truth. Instead of dismissing what she tells you, Start planning to take that next hill. PAUSE… And just like bike riding always returns, No matter how long you’ve been away, Your dreams don’t ever give up on you, Always shining when you look their way. PAUSE… So what route will you take to your dreams? How far must you ride to get there? How clear and compelling is your vision, Dream big so you can be aware. PAUSE… For the you who finishes the journey, Will be different than the one you know now. You’ll have struggled and learned and proven yourself, Fighting the odds to see your way through. PAUSE… If your mind starts to ask questions, If it suddenly makes you have doubts, Gently remind it your feet are in charge, That they’ll decide if you set out. PAUSE… Your mind so often fool you, And steer you away from what’s best, You can rely on muscle memory, To guide you along your quest. PAUSE… Your mind will join in for the ride, As soon as your body starts moving. It just needs the push from your feet, To launch you toward all of your yearnings. PAUSE… Pull in a deep breath, note your heart’s steady beat. Let go of that breath, feel the purpose in your feet.

LONG PAUSE Breathe again, feeling the peace and comfort spreading through you along with a  wonderful, warm feeling of love. LONG PAUSE Continue breathing until you naturally find a gently rhythm that allows the peace, comfort and love to flow through you  with ease. LONG PAUSE With your next exhale, imagine standing before a majestic Buddhist temple tucked high in the mountaintops. PAUSE The temple is red  with touches of white, and its pagoda-like tiers are breathtaking  and lift like wings  to the azure sky above. PAUSE As you gaze at the temple, you notice it rests on a secure rectangular platform. PAUSE Closing your eyes,  you reach out and touch  the wooden platform, and as you do, images of nature flood you. PAUSE In your mind’s eye, The elements shoot up and stand guard around you, and plants and flowers sprawl out like a tapestry. PAUSE As your fingers run over the platform, you feel peacefully grounded in all that is Mother Earth. PAUSE A breeze with a hint  of coolness catches in your hair, and you open your eyes to see a dome-shaped entrance to the temple. PAUSE Gently, you run  your hand over it, letting a wave of love and joy ripple through you. PAUSE You take a breath, and center yourself, just as a group of monks enter the temple. PAUSE A young monk notices you, flashes a quick smile that  spans his whole face, and nods, a clue to follow him into the temple. PAUSE As you enter, you are enveloped in a river of peace that gently  streams through you. PAUSE You give yourself  a moment just to breathe as you take in  the aura of the temple. PAUSE As you look around the temple, you notice the beautiful burgundy-colored robes draped over the monks’ sun-colored shirts. PAUSE Some of the monks sit on gold and red pillows that dot the floor; there is one left just for you. PAUSE With ease and comfort, you sit on the pillow, watching the monks prepare for meditation. PAUSE One monk lights dozens of oil lamps With corners that bend upward like a sail blown by the wind. PAUSE The room shimmers  in the light, while another monk lights some incense. PAUSE The aroma permeates  the air – scents of wood and herbs deepen your relaxation as you comfortably  breathe them in. PAUSE Then, the monks  sit quietly on the pillows and begin chanting, “Om Mani Padme Hum.” “Om Mani Padme Hum.” PAUSE The words gently reverberate in the air, and as the chant envelopes you, there’s a sense of weightless to your body. PAUSE After a few moments, the words gently tumble off your tongue: “Om Mani Padme Hum.” PAUSE And with each word you chant, it’s as if you’re being  lifted to the heavens, levitating in peace and divine freedom. PAUSE After a while, the chanting stops, and prayerful energy enters the space. PAUSE In this time and space, you find your own prayer– a prayer of peace, love, and gratitude. PAUSE And with each word of your prayer, you know you are changed. you are now a beacon  of peace, love, and gratitude.
