PAUSE... Like steel falling slowly down to the ocean floor,  Feel your heavy arms and legs sink into your bed. PAUSE… Bring your attention to your breathing, And ride gently on the waves of its slow movements, As the air flows in and out of your nose. Rises and falls in your belly. And relaxes you from within. Breathe… Slowing down your breath, Slowing down your body, Slowing down your mind.  Breathe… And relax. PAUSE… The night is here for you, Waiting patiently,  Ready to wrap you in its arms and restore your soul. Ready to infuse you with the love and tenderness that has been depleted from you. Reminding you to hope, To trust, And to dream.  PAUSE… So rest, my love, And give yourself to the night, So she can restore your soul, And guide you to the breathtaking beauty of the morning. Light. Rested. And Free. LONG PAUSE… Feel a warmth in your belly, As a soft orange glow begins to shine. Let it soothe you, And gently relax you even further. PAUSE… Breathe in and feel the soothing orange light expand from your belly, And into your chest. Warming your breathing, And melting your body. PAUSE… Feel the warmth of the soft orange glow travel down your arms,  Through your hands, And into your fingertips.  Breathe… And let yourself fall further into the arms of sleep. PAUSE… Notice the gentle orange glow move into your hips, Your thighs, Your legs, Your feet, And your toes. PAUSE… See your body covered in the softness of this warm, orange glow. Relaxing you. Healing you. Restoring you. PAUSE… Let it find those places within you that are hurting, Broken, Depleted. And feel yourself relax further as the calming orange glow heals them all. PAUSE… Let yourself glow soothing orange from the inside out, Feeling calm, Whole, And restored.

Your mind seeks to avoid, Escaping is your only care. PAUSE… But if you just breathe, And allow the discomfort to stay, You’ll see that evasion is futile. Through is the only way. LONG PAUSE… Once you accept, That your journey must proceed, Your shoulders will strengthen, You’ll find everything you need.  PAUSE… It won’t be easy, And there may be wounds you endure.  But those wounds will turn to scars, And the lessons will stick for sure.  PAUSE… So keep moving forward, Even when you want to quit.

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 Close your eyes and dream of things In a world beyond our own. A forest of colors and shapes and scents To dazzle your sleeping mind. PAUSE… If you could let your imagination roam, Let it build a realm from scratch, Who would live and breathe and love there? What would grow and thrive? PAUSE… Start with what you see on the ground, What sprawls around your feet. Picture a bed of lush green grass, Deep purple flowers everywhere. PAUSE… Between the flowers, chipmunks dart, Chasing each other up trees and down. Small birds the color of green apples, Watch from high above. PAUSE… The birds sing and chirp in upbeat tones, As they jump from branch to branch. Every now and then, a brave one swoops, Finding a new tree to call its own. PAUSE… Relax into the beauty of this place, hear the birds speak to your heart. Pull the sweet air into your lungs as you settle deeper into sleep. LONG PAUSE… The trees in the place are massive, So high the tops can’t be seen. The light must trickle through them, Making bright patterns down below. PAUSE… They stand like tall protectors, Guarding all in their midst. Their leaves fill the air with rich freshness, And their trunks give the insects homes. PAUSE… So many creatures fill this place, It’s hard to know where to look. The flourishing forest teems with life, Yet peaceful silence covers all. PAUSE… Anything seems possible here, A world of dewy, green magic. Let your spirit loose to explore the woodland, Flitting along with the butterflies. PAUSE… Inhale and feel the enchantment within, filling you with hope and fancy. Exhale and see what else you can discover, hiding in mossy depths. LONG PAUSE… The scents are as lovely as the sights, Heady and full of promise. Sun-soaked leaves and rain-soaked earth, The blend so intoxicating. PAUSE… It’s as if nothing unpleasant or wrong can thrive here, Everything reaching for its greatest good. You, too, are like a creation of the forest, Adding power to the collaboration. PAUSE… This woodland is a place of wishes, Of simple desires made real. So what might you request of the trees? What might your heart long to feel? PAUSE… What deep desire have you been holding inside? Perhaps it’s time to speak its name. What spectacular fantasy waits to unfold, If only you’ll set it free? PAUSE… Breathe in and know that all can be yours, that the universe awaits your call. Breathe out whatever’s been holding you back, and say your longing out loud. LONG PAUSE… Picture yourself growing stronger, The deeper you move into the wood. Made not only of wishes but healing, This place can transform you for good. PAUSE… Kindness and patience rush toward you, Lifting you up like the birds. You giggle as you realize your soul has grown wings, And it carries you up toward the skies. PAUSE… Beyond the canopy of sun-dappled leaves, Lies a brilliant canvas of blue. There is no limit to what’s possible there, And that boundlessness now includes you. PAUSE… Your wish is not just yours anymore, It belongs to the sun and the sky. Whatever desire you once hoped to achieve, Has now swelled exponentially. PAUSE… Look down on the forest as you float in the clouds, See that it’s just one of many. Your imagination holds dozens of places like this, Magical realms just waiting to be explored.

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. PAUSE As you pull the covers up to your chin, you still feel  the snow’s peacefulness fanning out inside you, leading you into a  calm, undisturbed sleep.
