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.

The emotions build up, And all the thoughts abound. PAUSE… Sometimes we forget, To express what’s swirling inside, And soon we can find ourselves, Needing a cathartic cry. LONG PAUSE… We don’t always know why, We don’t always know when, It feels like out of the blue, Tears release from their pen.  PAUSE… Let them fall, Let them flow, Open your heart, And let them go.  LONG PAUSE… Maybe you’ve been holding, So much on your shoulders. The millions of responsibilities, Can feel like giant boulders.  PAUSE… Maybe you’ve been moving, And running through the day. You haven’t made time to be still, With everything that’s come your way. PAUSE… Perhaps a moment triggers, A memory from your past. Pain comes rushing through, The emotions come real fast.  PAUSE… Let them fall, Let them flow, Open your heart, And let them go.  LONG PAUSE… A cathartic cry will feel, Like you’ve released so much weight. It cleanses and refreshes, And always feels so great.  PAUSE… There’s no shame in the tears, There’s nothing you need to explain. There may not be any meaning, It’s simply a release for your brain. PAUSE… So take a big, deep breath, And examine what’s inside. Perhaps there’s some tension, Some feelings you’ve tried to hide.  PAUSE… Allow yourself to gather, All that’s heavy and gray. And when you exhale, let go, Let it all float away.

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 slow, deep breath, A breath that fills your being. Let it calm and relax. LONG PAUSE Breathe again, and imagine a beautiful woven basket gently scooping up any distracting thoughts and carrying them away. LONG PAUSE Feel your body relaxing even more deeply with each breath. Take a moment  to lavish in the calm. LONG PAUSE While basking in the serenity, imagine seeing a tiny, twinkling light out of the corner of your eye. like a miniature sparkler, dancing, shimmering and flowing like a fountain of light. PAUSE After a few moments, the light takes shape, and a small, luminous figure appears: A fairy. PAUSE For a moment, Just look at the fairy. See her golden hair cascading in light. Notice her clothes made of leaves and petals, And see her wand aglow with magical light. PAUSE The fairy smiles at you, and you feel a wave of trust embed in your heart. “I’m Aya. Come with me,” she whispers. You know you can follow this fairy anywhere. PAUSE Aya sweeps her arms through the air, and a path of golden stardust appears. Then, the fairy cups her hands and gently blows fairy dust toward you. Magically, you rise from the bed, able to fly as nimbly as the fairy. PAUSE Together, you and Aya fly on the stardust path, into the night, past the houses and buildings, past bridges and waterways, until you reach the woods. The fairy pauses at the edge of the woods. “Are you ready for an adventure?” she whispers. You nod, feeling excitement and wonder. PAUSE Now, imagine if you can, taking the fairy’s hand and sailing into the woods. Tall trees light up as you pass them. Flowers and bushes glow when the fairy flies by. And, what you once thought  was a quiet forest, is now alive in the most magical way. PAUSE Aya takes you to a large tree stump that immediately radiates with light as soon as you pause there. Minutes later,  dozens of tiny sparkler lights appear. Fairies of all shapes and sizes surround you with smiles and light. “Learn from them,” Aya whispers. PAUSE A group of fairies approach. They wave their wands, and you fly with them deep into the bowels of the woods. PAUSE Imagine now, that when you and the fairies stop, Out of the black of night a magical workshop appears. As you look closer,  you see this workshop has bits of damaged trees, shrubs and flowers in it. And the fairies are working on them. PAUSE One fairy with a round face and jolly laugh nods at you, beckoning you to follow him. He picks up a mended flower, and together, you fly to plant missing its beautiful flower. The fairy waves his wand and the mended flower adheres to the plant, in full bloom. Then you and the fairy return to the others. PAUSE Another group of fairies welcomes you to follow them. And together, you fly through the forest, until you reach a small house nestled in the heart of the forest. PAUSE You and the fairies enter the house in silence while a family sleeps. The fairies go to the kitchen, where there is noticeably little food, and with a wave of their wands they fill the barren cabinets  With bread, vegetables and wine. They fill a pot with stew, ready for the family to heat up when they wake up. Then they leave, as silently as they came. PAUSE Back in the woods with the fairies, Aya meets you and you know that your time with the fairies  has come to an end. You thank the fairies  for all their hospitality and sharing. And you and Aya fly home on the stardust path.

It’s time to rest and rejuvenate, Time to bid the day farewell. PAUSE… Close your eyes and take a breath, Give your imagination a canvas. Paint it with the colors of the setting sun, As it glows on the distant horizon. PAUSE… Think about all the sunsets you’ve seen, The images you’ve collected for years. See the pinks and the oranges and the purples, Lighting up like they’ve been set on fire. PAUSE… Let your thoughts wander back to your travels, To the many places you’ve watched the sun set. Try to remember your favorite, The one that also lit you up within. PAUSE… Think about who you were with that day, Loved ones and friends alike. Or maybe you were watching all on your own, A moment of solitude to soothe your soul. PAUSE… Call up the feelings that beauty inspired, The wonder, the joy, the awe. Let those emotions infuse your body, Experience the bliss once again. PAUSE… Memories are meant to come back to us, To illuminate our lives anew. And with beauty as arresting as the sunset, Why not enjoy it as often as you can.   Take a deep breath and let your mind float, let it ride on a wave of color. Exhale and feel like part of the splendor, aware of the sun’s power in you. LONG PAUSE… In addition the magnificence, Lessons linger in the sunset. There’s more to see than a painted sky, More to consider than a stunning show.   PAUSE… The sun tells you when to power down, When to literally call it a day. You’ve made one more trip through your busy world, And you deserve to tuck in and rest.   PAUSE… You likely did your best to shine, To warm everyone in your circle. When night comes, it’s time to recoup All that you shared with others.   PAUSE… The sun is fortunate to have a friend, A partner in its daily cycle. The moon is there to do its part, To step in and support the natural order. PAUSE… Think about who does the same for you, The person who steps in when you’re tired. Whether that’s you or somebody else, Give thanks for the respite they provide.   PAUSE… It’s no small gift to be part of a team, Even if that team ends up being small. Protecting your boundaries is important work, And it matters when someone answers the call.   PAUSE… There’s a rhythm to everything under the sun, Even for the sun itself. Just like the dance between night and day, There’s a method to keeping yourself in balance.   PAUSE… It’s all about listening to that inner voice, To the intuition that won’t lead you astray. Follow the path that feels right for you, And honor the spirit’s need to shut down.   Inhale and feel the rightness in all, in the patterns and cadence that guide you. Exhale and know that you’re on the right track, that even the sun and moon support you. LONG PAUSE… Sink deeper into self as you picture the moon, The way it waits in the sky for its cue. Perfectly choreographed by nature itself, The changing of the guard is seamless.   PAUSE… Transitions can happen that way for you too. You can slide from one state to another. Just trust in the process and accept when it’s time, And you’ll find yourself gracefully changing. PAUSE… When you accept the way of things, You, too, can shine like the sunset. You can glow like the moon, and burn bright in the morning, As you celebrate your unique tempo.   PAUSE… Many aspects of you are easy to change, And others must be accepted. Some needs of mind and body are predetermined, Fixed like the cycle of the sun.

Close your weary eyes, And prepare to dream. PAUSE… Dial your mind back to when you were young, To those never-ending, carefree days. Try to slip back into that joyful mindset, Try to remember that tiny you. PAUSE… Think about how interesting everything was, Every rock, every tree, every stick. The world was a bundle of opportunity, Entertainment wherever you looked. PAUSE… One day, you might find a bed of leaves, To roll in or jump on or climb under. Maybe you used them to make a nest, A place your bug friends could find shelter. PAUSE… Another day, you might have collected stones, Then sorted them by color and size. So many little piles of pebble treasure, Making you feel rich beyond compare. PAUSE… Think back to the days of hopscotch, To chalk masterpieces all over the cement. With giggles and smiles, the hopping commenced, And the simple game never got old. PAUSE… Perhaps you spent days in nearby woods,  Gathering branches for a secret fort. Pretending to be pirates or pioneers, Getting lost in your stories for hours.   Take a deep breath of that leafy air, let the lighthearted energy fill you. Exhale the breath but hold onto the joy, be that delighted child once again. LONG PAUSE… Travel back the long, hot summers, Running through sprinklers and playing tag. Squealing at the sound of the ice cream truck, And staying outside until daylight disappeared. PAUSE… On rainy days, you could play inside, Bringing those indoor toys to life. And then when the sun magically reappeared, Worms and puddles waited to be explored. PAUSE… Jumping in puddles was its own special game Sending water in every direction. It takes a certain kind of glee, To hop around with such abandon. PAUSE… Sink into that carefree energy, The feeling that life is yours to enjoy. The word ‘worry’ was likely a foreign one, While ‘fun’ was the primary goal.   PAUSE… Feel your shoulders lift as you remember, Feel the elation in your heart as well. Let your body relax into that innocent space, As happiness seeps into your cells. PAUSE… Though everyone’s forced to leave childhood behind, Usually before we’re ready, You don’t have to give up that childish delight, Just because age creates new expectations.   PAUSE… Even as a full adult, Puddles and ice cream still exist. You can still go out and collect nature’s treasure, Getting lost in the magic of the search.   PAUSE… It’s really about giving yourself permission, To go back for the things you’ve loved. There are no requirements when it comes to joy, And no reason to keep it from yourself.   Inhale and imagine more pleasure in your life, more laughs, more dancing, more puddles. Exhale and see the possibilities, the path to lightness and bliss. LONG PAUSE… Your childlike self has answers, Wisdom long ago packed away. But you can pull it out at any point, And rediscover whatever you’ve missed.   PAUSE… Let your mind wander toward serenity, To the ease of innocence. Wipe your heart clean of negativity, And let hope make your spirit soar.   PAUSE… There’s a way to combine the authentic you, With the version mature life requires. The secret is staying in touch with enjoyment, Heeding the call for fun.   PAUSE… A small change can make all the difference, A laugh can open a door. Lighthearted ways make for lighthearted days, And you deserve to feel that boost.
