They can separate us from joy. But if we let it, night can help. Rest can connect us again. PAUSE… First close your eyes and breathe in deep, Acknowledge the fatigue. Then try to sink beneath it, To the real you waiting below. PAUSE… It’s so easy to lose ourselves, Under layer upon layer of effort. And it takes a while to shed that skin, To strip ourselves bare once again. PAUSE… But night is the time to do it, Those magical, restorative hours. It’s then we remember why we tried in the first place, And decide we can do it all again. PAUSE… So find that pure you deep within. Greet yourself with a smile. Take your hand and settle in, Get ready for the dance. LONG PAUSE… Feel your essence as you pull in a breath. Feel its power grow as you exhale the excess. PAUSE… It may seem like you’ve forgotten how To let your soul move with abandon. But the memory of bliss never leaves you. It sits patiently and waits for the call. PAUSE… It remembers what sets your heart on fire. It knows what you long for most. It’s ready to leap into action, Whenever you give it the sign. PAUSE… Start with some inner music. Hear the melody of your yearnings. Let the song travel through your body, Waking mind and cells alike. PAUSE… See yourself in motion. Admire your strength and grace. Feel the moves come back to you, Ignited by the power of your song. LONG PAUSE… Enjoy the rhythm of your breathing, the way it lifts you up. Let the nourishing air fill you, then release and make space for more. PAUSE… Why do we forget to dance When life starts its rapid movement? Why do we send bliss into hiding Just when our spirits need it most? PAUSE… It’s not just you. We all do the same. The reasons may vary, But the choices look so much alike. PAUSE… But it’s time to break the chain. To close your eyes, and see yourself, As a joyful dancing soul. LONG PAUSE… Imagine how you’ll feel in the morning, Fresh from a night of gleeful twirling. Glowing and smiling,, Ready to face a fresh new day. PAUSE… Feel that smile deep within, breathe its joy into your chest. Send that smile out into the world, sharing your joy with all. PAUSE… Think about your younger days, The way you used to dance. Picture yourself shaking everything loose, As you move across the floor. PAUSE… Remember how free you used to feel, When you gave in to the music with relish. See your hair flying and your hands fluttering, Your hips swaying, and your heart thumping. PAUSE… Once again, you are carefree. Once again, your soul gets to celebrate, Once again, bliss leads the way. PAUSE… How long has it been since you felt like this? How long have you held yourself in check? How much have you missed such pleasure? How good does it feel to come back? LONG PAUSE… Feel your lungs sing as you breathe in. Feel at one with your body as you breathe out. PAUSE… Think about what might be different, If you let your soul dance regularly. Think about who you might be in the daylight, If you spend your nights feeling free. PAUSE… Perhaps there are other things, You might feel inspired to try. Now that your soul has come to life again, Now that you remember your self expression.

Who knows who you’ll be when you return,   Having heeded your own call.   LONG PAUSE…   Hear the sound of oars in water, inhale their energy.   Feel the warmth of sunshine on your shoulders, exhale mindfully.   PAUSE…   Imagine peering into the water,   Gazing into its depths.   What truths swirl beneath the surface,   Waiting for you to come to grips? PAUSE…   What have you been ignoring,   Or simply hiding out of view?   What can the water reflect back your way,   To help you start anew?   PAUSE…   Of course it is no accident,   That water is like a mirror.   It reminds us of our essence,   And assures there’s nothing to fear.   PAUSE…   Water goes wherever it chooses,   Forever forging its way.   How can you be like water?   What new path can you find today?   LONG PAUSE…   Breathe in from that knowing place, refresh your heart and mind.   Breathe out from a peaceful place, sinking deeper into self.   PAUSE…   The journey starts with just one step,   One choice to light the way.   So put that boat in the water,   Prepare to go where you may.   PAUSE…   Untether the boat from its moorings,   Step in and find your balance.   Grab the oars and start rowing,   Let your conscience be your ballast.     PAUSE…   Row in the direction that feels right,   Whether shore or open sea.   Fall into the rhythm of your toiling arms,   Keep your mind clear so you can see.   PAUSE…   Though it may feel like you’re running away.   The opposite is true. You’re setting off on your own quest,   A voyage to discover you.   LONG PAUSE…   Breathe in with purpose, slow and deep.   Exhale with intention, easy and free. PAUSE…   Move across the water,   Open and unbound.   Feel the earth breathe along with you,   Relax into the sound.   PAUSE…   The oars are like your arms now,   The boat your new foundation.   This world your mind has conjured,   Exists to aid your self-creation.     PAUSE…   Remember what you’re here for.   See the new you in your mind.   Row and row until you reach that truth,   Until you land on what you wanted to find.   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.

LONG PAUSE Now, allow this  magic to sink into you relaxing you  even more. LONG PAUSE Breathe in deeply, feeling the gentle relaxation spread and your body just letting go. LONG PAUSE Now, imagine the distant rumble of thunder  in the background, a sound that casts  peace and calm through you. PAUSE The thunder repeats like a gentle echo that allows all the thoughts in your  mind to just melt away. PAUSE And in the thunder, you hear a whisper. it’s your name being gently repeated in the rolling rumbles. PAUSE The thunder continues to tremble  in the distance, as a few raindrops lightly tap against your window pane. PAUSE Each drop alights on the pane in a musical lullaby that calms your body and spirit. PAUSE After a few moments, the rain sprinkles  a little harder, forming a relaxing, steady rhythm. PAUSE In your mind’s eye, you can see the rainshower giving life to  the flowers and plants  outside your window. PAUSE You envision petals and leaves catching the raindrops, holding onto the  life-giving water until the droplets slide off and fall to the roots. PAUSE After a while, a flash of white light streaks across the sky, as rain pours  steadily, rhythmically. PAUSE The grumbling thunder  draws a little closer reverberating with  the beautiful flashes of light. PAUSE Outside, you imagine the sheet of water collecting in a colorful rain barrel and cleansing the world. PAUSE You see the rainwater flowing like a gentle river, down a street and cascading out  of gutters  like magnificent waterfalls. PAUSE Another white streak of light fans out across the sky like the branches of a celestial tree. It’s beauty radiates With a relaxing glow. PAUSE A cloudburst of rain drums rhythmically against the roof while the thunder gently grumbles again. PAUSE A ribbon of light dangles in the sky before fading into  the velvety darkness of the rainstorm. PAUSE After a few moments, the rainshower slows to a melodic patter  on the windows and roof. PAUSE The thunder abates to a hushed reverberation softly rumbling in the distance again. PAUSE A few more flashes of light set the horizon aglow before dimming into the  heart of the night. PAUSE There is just rain now, a serene pitter patter against the window pane. PAUSE After a while, the rain slows to an occasional droplet tapping against the window. Finally, it stops altogether.

She modeled love, Unconditional, true love. She helped mold you into the woman you are today. Your mother. So the intentions of today’s meditation is to honor your mother.  This could be your birth mother, your adopted mother or even a woman who has been a mother figure for you throughout your life.   So close your eyes,  And invite your body to relax.   Become aware of your mind slowing down, And then let yourself feel your breath.  Feel the oxygen entering your body, expanding your chest and belly. And feel your breath leave through your exhale as your body pulls back in.  Breathe in. Breathe out.  Come into this moment.  Relaxed, And clear. PAUSE… Let an image of your mother or mother figure come to mind. It could be an image of her in the present moment, Or a memory you have of her as a young girl. Just hold the image of her in your mind.  Let yourself observe her. Notice her eyes, Her facial expression, Her hair,  Her posture.  Imagine she’s sitting in her favorite chair,  A smile on her face, ready to be with you.  You feel special. Loved. Grateful.   PAUSE... I love you, you hear yourself say. And you see her face soften and light up.  So you continue… You have shown me what love is.  You’ve shown me love through your tenderness, your toughness, your discipline and your play.  You’ve modeled for me what it means to be a woman,  And that foundation has helped me blossom into my own version of womanhood.  I’ve come to see how imperfect you are,  Yet still have oceans of love for you. Thank you for being you. I’m so grateful I am your daughter.  PAUSE… Now take a moment to look at her. And for the next little bit, invite yourself to say anything else you’d like with her, wrapped in this safe space of love.  LONG PAUSE... Now come back to your breath. Taking a deep, cleansing breath in, Feeling the fresh air fill you up, And as you exhale, release it all,  And feel the waves of peace wash over you. PAUSE... Allow yourself to be here, In this special space of stillness, With your mother, Surrounded by love.
