LONG PAUSE And as you hear your heart, shift your focus to connect with your body, and notice your mind and body are synching together and relaxing. LONG PAUSE Now, take a moment, and feel the calm of the night gently moving through you. Stay with this feeling. LONG PAUSE Now, draw in a breath, and envision yourself  catching sight of a moonbeam that finds its way in your room dancing past the curtains. PAUSE It looks like a silvery slide, and as the curtains move, ever so slightly, so does the moonbeam, pulsing rhythmically like it was dancing. PAUSE And as the moonbeam dances, you can feel the  shimmering pulse of its beat, a pulse that connects you with this orb of intuition, the moon. PAUSE After a moment, a vision of the moon appears before you, A sliver of light captivating you. PAUSE And as the slender curve of light  rests before you, there’s a feeling of  power that it brings. PAUSE It doesn’t matter that it’s just a moon in its early phase: It awakens intuition and awareness within you, powers that want to grow. PAUSE And then, imagine that  the suspended moon expands, so that half the orb is bathed in sterling light. PAUSE And as the moon grows to the first quarter phase, so do your desires to create. PAUSE Drawing in a breath, you see yourself writing, painting, sculpting, drawing, anything that taps your  creative, intuitive spirit, or potentiates growth, comes alive in you. PAUSE And as your creations, of thought and physical form blossom, so does your confidence. There’s a growing sense within  that you stand tall and feel empowered to take on the world. PAUSE The moonlight shimmies, and before you unfolds a stunning full moon, resplendent in its pearlescent glow. PAUSE As the moon dances, and illuminates the room, it casts the light of awareness in and around you. PAUSE You become aware that  the seeds of your creations are far-reaching and can impact others. PAUSE The full moon also lets you see what else you might want to do, the things you want to change, and how to make  what you want in the world better. PAUSE After shining brightly for a while, the moon wriggles and  some of its light dims. half of its light is gone, as it is now a third-quarter moon. PAUSE And despite the change in light, you feel inspired to take stock of your work, and implement some of the changes that the full moon has brought into awareness. Think about those changes. PAUSE Inspiration glows inside you and continues to move you, helping you become more aware and grow even more. You feel inspired and in charge of your life. PAUSE The moonlight pauses again, this time dimming back to  the sliver of light  it began with. This cycle is ending. PAUSE And with this phase, you feel a sense of accomplishment, a sense that your work, your creations,  were worth it. PAUSE You embrace this feeling and reflect on it, as it brings stillness and peace into your heart.  PAUSE And though the moon dims further until it bears no light, you feel its light shimmering, pulsing within you, and you know that the cycle will ignite again soon.

Feel the way it touches your blankets, The way your head is rested upon your pillow, The way the gentle movements of your breathing, Slow down, With every inhale, And exhale.  PAUSE… Now, take a big, deep breath in, Gathering up all the details of the day, Hold it at the top for just a moment. Hold it.  And then exhale, Releasing everything out, And letting it float into the night.  PAUSE… Breath in deeply one more time, Expanding your belly as far as it can go. Holding it all in for a moment. And then breathe it all out, Letting go of those thoughts, Those worries,  All those plans. And then settle yourself into a gentle, Easy rhythm of breathing, As you melt further into your bed.  Now see if you can imagine yourself, Standing in a lush, Green forest. The trees rise above you, And cover you safely in their canopy, Allowing in enough sunlight, So you can see the beauty of everything around you.   PAUSE… The Earth underneath you is soft and cool. And as you walk slowly, You can feel the electric energy from below, Rise to touch your feet, And infuse you with waves of life. Reminding you that you are one, You and the Earth, You and the trees, You and the air. PAUSE… Smell the air, Its damp fragrance heavy with flowers, Soil, And rain. The symphony of scents relaxes you, And calms you.  LONG PAUSE… The whispers of the wind blow through the trees, And each one harmonizes with the next.  PAUSE… You hear the crunching of leaves around you, As the tenants of this land move about their day. PAUSE… You breathe in deeply, And take it all in. Feeling safe and alive in this sacred space.  Feeling one with the divine, And knowing you are divine yourself.  LONG PAUSE… You continue walking through the forest,  Slowly, And consciously, Until you come across a small opening. It immediately feels like home, Covered with a soft patch of grass, Surrounded by loving trees who give you shelter. PAUSE… You find your favorite spot, A covered spot in the corner, And lay down on the cool, green grass.  PAUSE… Your body quickly relaxes into the Earth, And you can feel the heat of its energy fill you up, And calm you down. PAUSE… You’re safe here. Deep within the forest, Blanketed by Mother Nature, One with the Earth, And free to fall into deep sleep.

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.

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.
