LONG PAUSE And as you lavish in the covers, feel your body melting in relaxation. LONG PAUSE And as you feel your body relax, let your mind open to visions and dreams. LONG PAUSE Take a moment and find yourself in an art gallery, with magnificently high ceilings, and hundreds of paintings adorning the walls. PAUSE It’s the middle of the night and you can see  thousands of glistening stars through the glass ceiling. PAUSE You’re standing in the center of a large hall, next to marble statue of a discus thrower, a young Grecian man, bathed in soft moonlight. PAUSE The statue is milky smooth on the surface, with fine, pristine details  of the face and body, and muscles sculpted  with perfection. PAUSE The discus thrower looks as if he’s coiled up and  ready to release all of human kind’s potential in a single throw. PAUSE You close your eyes and imagine the discus player coming to life  and releasing his discus. PAUSE The discus is unleashed  into the night sky, flying higher and higher until it’s out of sight. PAUSE As you gaze the discus thrower, the milky smooth marble softens into skin, and the discus thrower takes your hand and pulls you onto the platform. PAUSE He smiles, brushes a tuft  of chestnut hair  from his brow and raises his arm. PAUSE With his arms in the air, figures from the paintings gingerly step out and onto the floor. Sculptures unwind and walk about. PAUSE The air is perfumed with the fragrance  of sweet wildflowers and freshly baked bread  as well as dusting powder and cologne,  all from the figures  in the artwork. PAUSE A barmaid stops by the platform sharing goblets of wine with you and the discus thrower. She moves about the gallery offering her elixir to all. PAUSE You sip the wine enjoying its taste  and the warm feeling of relaxation it brings. PAUSE Then, a woman  with resplendent honey-color hair trots a dapple gray mare through the hall, proud and stately. PAUSE The women smiles  and pauses to  tap goblets  with the discus player, then with you, before trotting off to somewhere else. PAUSE Around the hallway, you notice that  figures from the art, are now real people, that stop and chat  with one another, embrace and laugh just like dear friends. PAUSE Two fishermen walk by with a casting net in their arms and the discus thrower asks where their boat is. PAUSE  The fishers laugh and point to a wall where a brown wooden boat with sails like canopies sits in the middle  of a painting. PAUSE In the distance, you notice a man with  a gray bowler hat  and pinstripe suit waltzes with a woman with pink ribbons  in her hair and dress. It’s so beautiful. PAUSE And while watching  the figures from the art come together, there’s an understanding of community of how everyone contributes– how everyone gives something back. PAUSE After a moment, you notice the discus thrower standing up on the platform, and his discus slowly returning  to his hand. PAUSE The discus thrower gently leads you off the platform then repositions himself just as he was when you first saw him. PAUSE Gradually, then,  the other pieces of art quietly reassemble themselves, blending back into paintings, and recreating their poses  as sculptures.

Sometimes they just need a chance to escape.  Or maybe just an exhale is needed, So everything you’ve been holding can reshape.  PAUSE… Sometime you don’t even know how you got here, Under these dark, dreary skies. But you looked up one day and noticed, That the light was gone from your eyes. PAUSE… It’s okay, sweet one. We all find ourselves here at times.  We all have felt the weight pull us down. It’s okay, this season will pass, Your light will return, I promise, you won’t drown.  Bring your attention here, To the movement of your breath. Detach from those thoughts, And feel your body’s depth. LONG PAUSE… The tighter you hold onto, The emotions and the thoughts, The heavier they get, The more you feel like you’re lost.  PAUSE… So imagine that your breath takes you, To the safe space of love in your heart. This space that darkness can’t touch, This beautiful, sacred part. LONG PAUSE… Feel the warmth in your chest, The gentle hum of your light. Let it remind you of who you are, Let it comfort you tonight.  PAUSE… I know the thoughts are scary, And the emotions keep swirling around. I know they dance with each other, And quickly compound. PAUSE… But if you just practice, Separating yourself from their dance. You’ll see that you don’t have to, Succumb to their heavy trance. PAUSE… These feelings, these worries,  And the heaviness that they bring. They’re all temporary, And soon won’t mean a thing. PAUSE… The best thing you can do, The strategy that always works best. Is to connect with your deep self, And remember how you’re blessed. LONG PAUSE… So bring your attention here, To the movement of your breath. Detach from those thoughts, And feel your body’s depth. PAUSE… You are not your circumstances, You are not your thoughts. You are love embodied, One with the divine, magical source.

Watch it from afar, And release from its grip, Surrender to the night’s healing touch. PAUSE… There’s nothing you can do, With the worries in your mind, All they are causing is stress. So breath them all out, And just be here now, Relief is yours to possess. Imagine them floating, One thought at a time, Out from your head into air. Let each exhale release, More what if’s and how’s, Til your mind is completely bare. PAUSE… Breathe… And release. Breathe… And relax. LONG PAUSE… There’s nothing you can’t handle, There’s nothing you can’t hold, You’re so much stronger than you know. Everything will be fine, Things are always working out, In ways that will help you grow.  PAUSE… And all of those things, That feel out of control, Unknowns that make you feel sick. Come deeply inside, And connect with yourself, Staying grounded is really the trick. PAUSE… Imagine them floating, One thought at a time, Out from your head into air. Let each exhale release, More what if’s and how’s, Til your mind is completely bare. PAUSE… Breathe… And release. Breathe… And relax. LONG PAUSE… There’s no good that comes, From holding the stress, In your body or deep in your mind. So let it all go, And open up space, Oh, the relief that you’ll find.  PAUSE… So sleep now, dear one, And surrender it all, The worries, the stress and the day. Rejuvenate your soul, As you rest deeply tonight, Everything is already okay.

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 Center yourself in a circle of peace, Feel love’s gentle touch in your soul. Prepare yourself to go within, Make renewal your goal. PAUSE… Think about the way you speak to yourself, The language you hear in your head. The words are likely different than those you select, When talking to others instead. PAUSE… In life, we talk about love languages, Meaning the way others’ gestures impact us. But in a very real way, the words we use, Create a pattern to which we adjust. PAUSE… If you tend to speak kindly, both inside and out, Then your love language is already in place. But if you’re snappish and dismissive, to yourself if not others, Then it’s time for a change of pace. PAUSE… Think of the words you use most of all, Then think about how they make you feel. Though a harsh word here or there can be harmless, A pattern makes the pain real. PAUSE… It’s no secret we’re usually hard on ourselves, And there are times to be held to account. Tough mental love isn’t the answer though, Especially in generous amounts. PAUSE… Imagine having a secret code, A list of words that buoy your spirit. Using them often might change everything, Making your self-love transparent. PAUSE… Maybe it helps to be reassured that you’re safe. Or that your intentions matter most of all. Perhaps you need to hear that your dreams have value, And you’re worth loving just as you are. PAUSE… Whatever the message, if it makes you okay, Practice saying what you need to hear. The world may agree, or the world may not, But it doesn’t matter if your own belief is sincere.   Take a deep breath and make yourself a promise, vow to be an encouraging voice. Release that breath and feel the weight of that gift, the gift of compassionate choice. LONG PAUSE… Words are not just pebbles to toss around. They’re not just vague placeholders. The way you speak to yourself matters a lot, Turning small stones into great boulders. PAUSE… By contrast, if you begin to cast sunshine, Instead of repeatedly throwing shade, The light you shine on a wounded soul, Can make that grave pain fade. PAUSE… Once you’ve mastered being kind to yourself, You can change things for others as well. The words you send out into the world, Can bring the troubled out of their shell. PAUSE… Just as your own self-talk makes you feel seen, Like your presence is both required and enjoyed, The gentle and caring things you say, Can pull others back from the void. PAUSE… Though we often hear mixed messages, Hear that love is what you do, not what you say, If you align those goals and speak tenderly, Your words make everything okay.   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 Take in a deep breath, a breath that you inhale slowly and deeply so that the rich air  fills you. LONG PAUSE And, as you breathe in, feel the breath expanding through you, creating healing energy and connecting all of you. LONG PAUSE Keep inhaling and exhaling and envision the breath gently touching all  of your body. LONG PAUSE Now, as you continue breathing, bring your thoughts to the present and feel yourself in the now. PAUSE In the present,  feel your body comfortably connecting  with your bed, sinking into it with deep relaxation. PAUSE And as you deepen your relaxation, imagine the cozy covers of the bed separating  and transforming into  the softest petal of a flower. PAUSE The petal has a gentle aroma that calms the soul with each breath. PAUSE After a moment, the petal safely lifts you into the air and suspends above your bed before gently sailing out the door. PAUSE You nestle into the petal and its luscious comfort and enjoy the sensation of flying slowly  out into the world while wrapped in the petal. PAUSE The moon shines brightly, lighting your way, as the petal rises in the air. PAUSE Slowly, the petal  continues to rise until you’re surrounded by a playground of stars. PAUSE Each star shimmers  in the inky sky, and you feel their energy resonating with you. PAUSE You take a moment and notice that the stars seem to play with one another, shining messages and dancing in the night sky. PAUSE You imagine dancing  with the stars, waltzing slowly through the cosmos, lights trailing your every move  like a shadow of diamonds. PAUSE Then, the stardust gathers beneath the petal and ever-so-gingerly moves it along. PAUSE Gently, like the rudder  on a rowboat, the stardust guides the petal back into Earth’s atmosphere. PAUSE The petal floats downward until you’re surrounded by mountains standing tall with the glimmer of the moon. PAUSE As the petal  wafts toward the ground, a tiny brook  catches your eye. PAUSE The brook is small and filled with stones that sparkle like jewels  in the moonlight. PAUSE As the petal descends, it makes a cushioned landing in the stream  and begins gently moving with the water. PAUSE Along the banks, fireflies twinkle and tease one another as the petal  continues to float in the brook. PAUSE A bullfrog sounds a mating call, then splashes in the water. PAUSE A symphony of cicadas sing their songs while the great horned owl’s hoots cut through the dark with their own music. PAUSE Now, imagine a warm breeze cradling the petal, carrying it out of the brook  and taking it away. PAUSE You feel comfort and trust as the breeze steers the petal. PAUSE After a few moments, the petal sails back into your room PAUSE The soft petal unfurls and melts into your luxurious bed, leaving you a calmness that wraps around you just like the petal.
