Meditation for Moms

Hey, it's Katie, and today, I'm here to say hello and give you a little update. It's May 1st today, which means we're stepping into Mental Health Awareness Month. What have you been doing to be kind to your mind lately? On today's solo episode, I'm sharing about some fun, extra meditations we're putting out for you across the network, some for mental health, some for moms, and some to share about other podcasts the team and I love to support our mental health. I'm also sharing the two things that are working really well for my mental health lately! And...I'm sharing a poem I wrote in one of those "ugly" moments of life. I hope it resonates and that you are inspired to continue on your perfectly imperfect journey of being you!

Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium Settle your head on the pillow, Pull a soft blanket right to your chin. Swaddle yourself as best you can, And let the night’s comfort begin. PAUSE… When was the last time you felt secure, Completely safe, warm, and content? It’s odd that we think we outgrow those things, That we no longer need what they represent. PAUSE… At our core, we’ll always be children, No matter what age we reach. Even if we become parents as well, We continue to learn what we teach. PAUSE… The lessons don’t always come equally, And some you might never learn at all. But others affect your very survival, Protecting you from a fall. PAUSE… First, you deserve to know you’re loved, To know you’re worth the effort. And even if you’re the one caring for you, It’s okay to tend to what hurts. PAUSE… It’s also okay to speak your mind, To get your struggles off your chest. To sleep a calm and restful sleep, Unencumbered by life’s distress. PAUSE… You deserve to feel like you matter. You deserve the chance to thrive. You deserve to know anything’s possible, And you deserve to keep hope alive. PAUSE… Perhaps you have someone to tell you these things, A partner, a sibling, a friend. But even if your life has vacancies, You have a life-force on which to depend. PAUSE… If you let it, your spirit will care for you, Reminding you what you once knew. Your essence is there to guide you back home, And to point out what will always be true. PAUSE… Your spirit is what keeps you safe, Planting signs along the way. It becomes your lifelong nurturer, If you listen to what it has to say. Take a breath and hear that voice, the quiet truth within. Breathe out and feel the peace it brings, let it soothe your mind to sleep. LONG PAUSE… Think about how, so long ago, Loving arms might have carried you to bed. They gently lowered you, then tucked you in, Pressing a sweet kiss to your head. PAUSE… Dig deep to remember that feeling, That perfect, carefree moment. Practice conjuring it up, every night, Pull that safe feeling back into your present. PAUSE… Think about other special acts, Rituals of younger days. The perfect pjs, a favorite story, Little jokes and loving displays. PAUSE… Picture the grown-up version of these, Both playful acts and those of self-care. Imagine each evening unfolding that way, Loving habits your young self can share. PAUSE… It’s not silly to want to end the day well, Not childish or selfish or strange. Learning to tuck yourself in for the night, Can only reflect positive change. PAUSE… Perhaps you’ll start to sleep like a baby. Maybe you’ll wake up with a smile. Maybe you’ll start to look forward to bedtime, To the chance to unplug for a while. PAUSE… By now, you know what a challenge it is, To live life as a full-fledged adult. Maybe the reason we all struggle so much, Is our refusal to admit we need help. PAUSE… You might not need the predictable type, More like a boost for the soul. And if childhood routines can help you find joy, Then they certainly have their role. PAUSE… Let your mind wander through your past, Allow it to slip back in time. For a few sweet and lovely minutes, Let those memories shine. Breathe in as you picture a littler you, capture that hopeful delight. Breathe out as you search for hints of that child, hold onto them once they’re in sight.

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.

Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium Lean back and let your guard down, Set your daily armor aside. Breathe deep and imagine a vibrant meadow, Just waiting to be explored. PAUSE… Clear your mind and focus on the colors, Bright hues you can both see and feel. Deep green, dazzling purple, luminous yellow, Each one fills you with its radiant power. PAUSE… In your mind, set yourself free, To run across the field. Absorb the pulsing energy Of this thriving, buzzing world. PAUSE… Let yourself be young again, See your body leap and roll. Sink into the dewy blanket of grass, And stare up at the crystal-blue sky. PAUSE… The clouds are just as striking, As every color in this tableau. They move and shift as if tied to your mind, Offering a delightful parade. Watch the clouds and inhale slowly, find joy in their magical dance. Rise up to greet them as you exhale deeply, find peace in their gentle embrace. LONG PAUSE… Now float back down to the grassy earth, Let the scents waiting below envelop you. Wildflowers and soil and sun-soaked leaves, Calm you with their rich aromas. PAUSE… Turn your ear to the sounds all around you, Trilling birds, buzzing bees, rustling leaves. Nature’s orchestra in all its glory, Soothing you to sleep with its song. PAUSE… Spread your hands flat against the grass, Feel the silky blades on your skin. The earth has made a nest for you, A safe place to land and rest. PAUSE… You needn’t worry in this meadow, There’s nothing here to fear. In fact, this place is just for you, A haven tucked away from busy life. PAUSE… Let the buoyancy of this lovely place, Fill your heart with calm. Set your dreams and wishes free, Watch them float and dance on the wind. Inhale as you picture your fondest wish, taking shape before your eyes. Exhale and see it coming true, feel the lift it gives your heart. LONG PAUSE… This special escape will always be yours, Ready and waiting when you close your eyes. As simple as conjuring the lush green grass, And giving your spirit wings. PAUSE… When days are long and tough to take, It’s there to soothe your troubled soul. And when you’re exhausted and overwhelmed, It stands ready to restore your strength. PAUSE… Magic fills this secluded spot, Enchantment of the very best kind. Made of you, by you, and for you, It blossoms anywhere you choose. PAUSE… Though this meadow is your secret, It’s also your superpower. Go there whenever life weighs you down, And send your troubles away with the breeze. PAUSE… Or perhaps you’re feeling happy, And your heart wants more of that. A spot like this is just the place, For joys to multiply. PAUSE… In time, you may find friends there, Their shape and character yours to define. And if you crave rainbows, or raindrops, or snowflakes, Simply draw them with your mind. PAUSE… What could be more restful, Than a fantasy land of your own. A place where only good things can thrive, Where only beauty greets your eye. Inhale a soft and easy breath, drink in the grassy peace. Exhale and sink deeper into sleep, feel the gifts growing all around you. LONG PAUSE… Sleep comes easy in this land, Every bit of you at rest. Soft breezes blow all worries away, As distant crickets play lullabies. PAUSE… Better than any bed you’ve known, Softer than any pillow, This meadow is your comfort zone, Its solace for you alone. PAUSE… Feel relaxation come for you, Feel it settle beneath your skin. Breathe easily under its protective weight, Wrapped in true serenity.

A few years ago, my friend had a panic attack. As she told me about it afterward, my heart hurt for her and I wished there was something I could do to help. So, I created a meditation that she could keep on hand. And then I created another, and then another. And soon, I launched an entire podcast called Panic Attack Meditation to help her and others during those incredibly intense moments of high anxiety and panic attacks. If you find yourself or someone you love needing support like this, make sure to follow Panic Attack Meditation on your favorite podcast player so you can have them on hand when you need them. Right now, I want to share a listener favorite called Calm Mind. I hope you enjoy it.

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 Hear the evening calling you, Listen as it beckons. It’s time to let your body rest, And tend to your weary mind. PAUSE… You’ve done a lot of work today, Both mental and physical. You’ve earned some relaxation time, A chance to unplug and recharge. PAUSE… Use this time to slow everything down, Your thoughts, your pulse, your cares. There’s nothing more important right now, Than finding the respite you need. PAUSE… So often, our days spool out of control, Tossing dozens of problems our way. The night is meant to reverse all of that, To give us some space to breathe. PAUSE… Our breath is an effective place to begin, For it affects all the rest. With eyes closed, inhale gently and with purpose, Let the moment grow and stretch. PAUSE… When you’re ready to let that breath go, Slowly exhale and feel the release. Notice how your muscles follow that lead, Softening and settling in for the night. PAUSE… You nestled in the safest possible place, One that belongs to you alone. Full of familiar scents and downy fabrics, Comfort is the only goal. Take a moment to enjoy the calm you’ve created, remind yourself how much you deserve it. Revel in the weightless feel of your body, in the serene openness of your mind. LONG PAUSE… Now that you’ve cleared out troubling thoughts, Do your best to keep it that way. Imagine an impenetrable boundary, A wall to separate you from the day. PAUSE… It’s so important to your wellbeing That you regularly disengage. Each day is so full and chaotic, Leaving little time to focus on you. PAUSE… But if you create a ritual, A predictable, enriching routine. Your days will feel less frantic as well, And you’ll look forward to powering down. PAUSE… Focus your attention on your quiet mind, Enjoy the tranquility you find there. Let the stillness lift you up, Let it take you to a higher place. PAUSE… In this place, anything is possible. In this place, all of your plans make sense. In this place, you become your very best self, As you work to plant the seeds of change. PAUSE… Instead of thinking, feel your way through, Determine whatever you wish for yourself. Detach from whatever your brain might say, And be mindful of your heart instead. PAUSE… Like your soul, your heart won’t fail you, As long as you pay attention. It wants what it wants, and it’s rarely wrong, So tune in and listen to its wisdom. PAUSE… These evening hours are the very best time To practice speaking your heart’s language. The messages appear in different ways, Sharing feelings instead of words. Breathe into the powerful silence of self, feel the awe that comes with tuning in. Exhale and realize how connected you are, remind yourself you’re never alone. LONG PAUSE… In this warm, relaxing environment, You have the chance to transform. Once you learn to tune out the daily noise, Your truth will make itself known. PAUSE… Whatever you’ve been wondering about, Whatever questions plague you in the day, Can be redefined and answered here, As long as you maintain the space. PAUSE… Waking logic is usually ineffective. Your inner retreat has a mind of its own. But once you learn the rules of the road, There are no limits to what you can see. PAUSE… As you fall deeper into dreamland, Let your imagination do what it will. Let it show you the life you truly want, Let it chart a course to reality.

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 Find that perfect spot in your bed, the one where you feel the coziest and most comfortable. LONG PAUSE Then breathe, just take in slow, deliberate deep breathes that cleanse you. LONG PAUSE And with each cleansing breath, allow the air to spread through your body, relaxing and focusing your attention on you. LONG PAUSE While continuing to relax, give yourself permission to let beautiful, magical dreams come to you. LONG PAUSE Now, imagine your room with the blinds or drapes closed, and with a little pinpoint of light peeking through. PAUSE The light fascinates you, so you go to the window to explore it. PAUSE As you open the blinds, imagine being gently swept into a dream where you stand above a mountain landscape. PAUSE The mountain is laced with emerald green terraces, cut into the mountainside. They look like wide, green steps in a staircase. PAUSE Gently, you descend on one of the terraces and realize you’ve landed in a rice paddy at harvest time. PAUSE Rice grows on each terrace, and men and women with bronze skin, wide-brimmed straw hats and focused expressions harvest the rice. PAUSE The men and women speak In a language like music that you just naturally understand. PAUSE As you draw closer, a woman looks up at you and bids you to come watch her as she works. PAUSE You comfortably bend over and observe how she harvests the rice with intention. Her curved knife smoothly glides through the plant as it separates the golden grains from the main stalk. PAUSE You run your fingers over the stalks and are surprised by the coarseness of the grain. PAUSE The woman then takes you to large flat rock with tubes of bamboo fastened on top; she hands you some stalks of rice. PAUSE Together, you thresh the rice stalks against the bamboo and watch as the rice grains separate and sprinkle like a shower of golden rain. PAUSE The woman gathers up the grains in a basket, and turns to look at you. The soft expression and hint of sadness in her eyes tell you it’s time for you to go. PAUSE You fold your hands, bow and thank the woman before being magically transported back to your room. PAUSE You pause and take a breath, making way for the next dream. PAUSE Again, a tiny light creeps through the blinds, calling you to come see the wonders behind it. PAUSE As you’re pulled into the dream, you find yourself in a lush, tropical world with a majestic volcano in the distance. PAUSE You marvel at the volcano as it spews a small amount of steam like a locomotive coming to a stop. PAUSE Then, a river of lava courses down the side of the mountain with mesmerizing hues of orange, red and yellow dancing as they descend. PAUSE The air hangs heavy with the smell of sulfur and salt while molten lava shimmers and glows, blazing a trail of change down the mountain. PAUSE While watching the distant volcano, nearby, you notice a man with wireframe glasses kneeling down and grasping a handful of black, moist dirt. PAUSE He lifts his glasses and inspects the dirt carefully, and as he does, a wave of understanding washes over you.

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 turn your focus inward, embracing the stillness within you. LONG PAUSE Allow the stillness to slowly unfold as you become aware of your body. LONG PAUSE Take a deep breath and notice the peace and contentment that follows the stillness. LONG PAUSE As you continue to breath, observe an openness in your body, as if it feels almost weightless. LONG PAUSE Now, as you relax, notice a ball of golden light, brilliant, luminescent, taking shape just below your feet. PAUSE The ball glows and shimmers with a captivating amber light highlighted with hues of orange and red. PAUSE The ball seems to spin in space and to radiate rays of light as it turns, rays that burst forth like the sun. PAUSE The golden ball moves closer to your feet, enveloping them in a warm, healing light. PAUSE And the ball spins and emits tendrils of light– of pure healing– that touch every part of your feet and ankles. PAUSE After a moment, your feet tingle, as the golden light circulates even more healing energy through them. PAUSE You draw in a deep breath, and allow the ball of light to drift to your calves, where its soothing warmth penetrates the muscles. PAUSE The comforting heat of the ball rolls up to your knees and thighs, relaxing them. PAUSE The globe of light sinks into your upper legs healing and restoring at the cellular level. PAUSE As you inhale again, the radiant globe spreads its aura around your hips and lower back. PAUSE You feel your hips release and your lower back ease, melting deeply into the cushiony softness of your bed. PAUSE You pause for a moment, letting the serene warmth flow through you, relaxing you fully and completely. PAUSE Then, the healing ball moves again, and as the warmth expands to your torso, your body feels soothed and calmed. PAUSE You breathe in again and exhale, while the healing orb stations at your back, generating waves of relaxing heat through your back and shoulders. PAUSE The sun-like sphere pauses at your heart chakra absorbing any emotional pain with every beat of your heart. PAUSE As the healing ball rotates its energy through your chest and upper back, there’s a physical letting go of stressed muscles and strained memories. PAUSE The ball of energy rises to your neck and throat, softening the tension and freeing all the unspoken words your voice held back. PAUSE You pause again, basking in the warmth of the orb as it touches your face and head, warming your cheeks like the sun. PAUSE The healing ball gently exits through the top of your head and stops for just a minute above you. PAUSE Its heated spin slows, and the rays of light dim until the healing ball dissolves in the air. PAUSE And when it’s gone, you take a moment and indulge in the incredible relaxation, the incredible peace you feel throughout your body. PAUSE And after a moment, gratitude blossoms within you– a deep appreciation for all the healing, and magic, of the radiant orb– until its next visit.

You’re pulled in and out, Feeling chaos throughout. PAUSE So slow it all down, And come deep inside, Find your gentle breath, The grounding it provides. LONG PAUSE Breathe in real slow, And let the chaos fade. Lean into the rhythm, Your beautiful breath has made. LONG PAUSE Now imagine yourself still, In the middle of this roaring storm. It may be cold out there, But in here, you’re toasty warm. PAUSE Melt a little deeper, Into the stillness within. Focus to expand it now, Let all else continue to spin. LONG PAUSE Can you find some peace, In this sacred space of calm? While winds continue to blow, Thunder continues to drum? PAUSE Feel your feet connect with, The energy of the Earth. Feel the vibrations rise up, And remind you of your worth. PAUSE This storm is not you, The winds will fade away, When you choose to be, The calm in the chaos today.

PAUSE Imagine your breath encompassing the hot spots of anxiety and worry, Massaging them gently, Until they dissolve, And disappear, As you sink further into relaxation. PAUSE Release and relax, Release and be free. Release and come back, To the you you’re meant to be. LONG PAUSE Right now, In this moment, Everything is fine. Stay here, In this moment, One with your body, One with your soul, One with the Divine. PAUSE Sink even further, Into the comfort of the present moment. Surrender yourself to it, Honoring any discomfort, And then giving it permission to release. PAUSE Let go of your tight hold, On all the things you want to control, All of the details that you want to organize, All of the unknowns. PAUSE Let them gather in your mind, Gather in your body, And release with every breath out. LONG PAUSE Loosen your grip, On all of the shoulds, All the expectations, All the judgments. Watch them gather as you inhale, And release as you breathe out. PAUSE Let it all go. PAUSE Release and relax, Release and be free. Release and come back, To the you you’re meant to be. LONG PAUSE You are exactly where you’re meant to be right now. Exactly who you’re meant to be. Follow your breath inside, And touch the divine you who knows, Who feels, Who sees, Who creates your own world. Overflowing with love, And peace.

Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium It’s not their fault completely. They don’t know what they don’t know. But that doesn’t change the hurt you feel, Or heal the wounds you don’t let show. PAUSE… If you’re closing your eyes on a painful day, Reeling from someone’s thoughtless acts, You can find relief and heal your wounds, As you allow yourself to relax. PAUSE… The first step is to clear your mind, To soothe it into silence. Allow your body to unwind as well, Prepare yourself for your own guidance. PAUSE… For as much as others’ actions can sting, And as much as you may long to sting back. You know that’s not the answer, Nothing good comes from going on the attack. PAUSE… Instead, search your heart for forgiveness, And all the compassion you can muster. For those who lash out at others, Usually hide pain in their bluster. PAUSE… Take a breath and remember who YOU are, a kind spirit inside and out. Exhale that breathe and release your hurt, your pain, your doubt. LONG PAUSE… If we lose our anger along the way, If we lose our fear and worry, We end up stronger, better selves, And life’s lines become less blurry. PAUSE… We rarely know another’s truth, The reason one lashes out. And even if we learn the story, It’s not ours to speak about. PAUSE… Instead, we must take what we see, And meld it with what we know. We make sense of pain from the inside out, Finding our reward in how much we grow. PAUSE… Inhale that sweet forgiveness, the mercy you show yourself and others. Exhale the comfort of your humanity, send it to your sisters and brothers. LONG PAUSE… Imagine the power of this small step, The transformation it might cause. Then imagine multitudes doing the same, The wave of energy that it draws. PAUSE… Our intentions can turn bad to good, Can turn suffering into peace. When we keep ourselves from striking back, Our vibration will increase. PAUSE… Though it may seem you’re often on your own, That fear is just a perception. In fact, you’re linked to everything, You belong without exception. PAUSE… To understand this bond is key, Knowledge that others can miss. But now that you know what you know, There’s nothing keeping you from bliss. PAUSE… It’s no secret pain is a lesson, An arrow pointing to what we must face. And when others turn those arrows on you, The very best response is grace. PAUSE… In this way, you can teach them, As you teach yourself. Your gift to you is a gift to them, Even more powerful in its stealth. PAUSE… While there’s no promise tomorrow will be easy, No assurance that others will be kind. You’ll step into your day with new confidence, Knowing your energies are aligned. PAUSE… It matters less what comes at you, Than how you choose to react. So if you remember that love always wins, You can be mindful of your impact. PAUSE… It’s such an important lesson, To use your powers for good, To sidestep all of the ugliness, And to reach out to the misunderstood. PAUSE… For they know not what they do to you, They don’t let themselves zoom in. So you must be the instrument, Heeding the voice within. PAUSE… Though it’s always important to protect yourself, And keep the malice at bay. Knowing the safety your awareness ensures, Is what makes you truly 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 Take a moment to center yourself, To wipe your inner slate clean. Give yourself over to a moment of peace, And take a break from all in your midst. PAUSE… Sometimes, you just need to slow things down, To give yourself time to think. But when time itself evaporates before your eyes, It feels impossible to slip away. PAUSE… There’s always something that needs doing, Always someone to make a request. You say yes, and yes, and yes some more, And then run out of time and space. PAUSE… You feel like a fool for agreeing, But you’d feel like a jerk for saying no. There’s no good approach to pleasing everyone, And the clock works against you at every turn. PAUSE… Don’t blame yourself for your kindness. Don’t beat yourself up for trying. If anything, change your perception of time, Stop competing with an invisible opponent. PAUSE… Think of time as a powerful tool, A way of ordering your world. Use it to serve your purposes, And set it aside as often as you can. PAUSE… Decide when you are off the clock, And when it just doesn’t exist. Take a block of time back for yourself, And don’t worry about the risk. PAUSE… We may owe the world certain things, And we definitely have bills to pay. But our hearts and souls have clocks of their own, And the world at large doesn’t have a say. PAUSE… The freedom to reorder time like this Is already in your grasp. You don’t need permission, it’s more like a decision, One that belongs to you alone. PAUSE… It’s often difficult to claim what we own, Even when we desperately want to do so. We think we owe others more than ourselves, And we pay the price without question. PAUSE… In truth, your allegiance must be to you, For you are your greatest ally. When you need affirmation of your own importance, Your heart and soul will gladly comply. PAUSE… Though things get cloudy in the outside world, Making it tough to see what’s real, The view is always crystal clear, When you peer out from deep within. PAUSE… So push that outer clock out of the way. Consult it only when you must. You don’t want waste even one soul minute, Giving power to an unnecessary device. PAUSE… So let it all unravel, this image of time, That makes you feel like there’s not enough. Feel yourself fly free, aligning with your soul, Knowing that this is the stuff.

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 Do you know what’s in you, What promise waits inside? Can you give yourself the time to look, To find the treasures where they hide? PAUSE… This type of digging is like no other, the discoveries shimmer like fire. Though the nuggets are smaller than the whole, Their value is so much higher. PAUSE… It might sound strange to see yourself As a hoard of wealth to be mined, But if you consider the value of a life, The price cannot be defined. PAUSE… The work is not for the faint of heart. The process asks a lot. We often toil for years and years, Digging where ‘x’ marks the spot. PAUSE… But you are worth the effort, And the gems you find a prize. It’s hard to imagine avoiding the search, For a fortune of such size. PAUSE… Clear your mind and try to remember where you buried your riches. Steel yourself for the quest ahead, for the granting of your wishes. LONG PAUSE… You already have the tools you need, To find the jewels within. They may be rusty and awkward to wield, But trust your instincts will kick in. PAUSE… Who knows why we hide these gifts from ourselves. Who knows why we pretend we’re bereft. Who knows why we don’t see what we can do, Until there are so few options left. PAUSE… Though our struggles are not of our choosing, Their meanings are often our choice. We tell ourselves stories that just aren’t true, And never question the voice. PAUSE… That’s why the digging matters, Why we need to find the truth. It’s not just about the life we live now, But the folly of our youth. PAUSE… Breathe in and imagine those veins of gold, running through your soul. Breathe out as you follow them where they lead, a joyful existence your goal. LONG PAUSE… How did they get there, you want to ask. What creates these precious streaks? The answer lies in our destiny, Our essence shapes what we seek. PAUSE… We all see value differently. We each choose what matters most. But the meaning running beneath those aims, Is what keeps us all afloat. PAUSE… Though we often lose our way, The guideposts are always there. They get buried beneath murky layers Like the gold we long to share. PAUSE… So think of the search as sacred work, A hunt for all we’ve buried. For all of us, there comes a time To reclaim the gifts we carry. PAUSE… Breathe in and feel the weight of your mettle, the strength that gets you through. Breathe out and see how deep it runs, and how much it helps you do. LONG PAUSE… But what if it feels like too much toil, Like you’ll never have the might? What if you doubt what’s possible, And see no purpose for the fight? PAUSE… The questions aren’t unreasonable. In fact, they make perfect sense. But they also mean you’re hiding your light, Suffering at your own expense. PAUSE… So, what if you did things differently? What if you stepped out into the light? What if you saw your own riches, Glimmering in plain sight? PAUSE… And what if, instead of covering them up, You gathered your inner jewels? What if you built a glittering new path, And threw away all the rules? PAUSE… Inhale and push forward, inspired and free. Exhale and keep going, aware of all you can be. LONG PAUSE… And as with all true veins of gold, Your wealth flows down from above. Sharing your fortune with all in your midst, And enriching the earth with your love. PAUSE… Mining isn’t easy, Though neither is anything worthwhile. And once you’ve started the searching, The effort will make you smile.

What does this indigo light bring to you?........PAUSE You are feeling more and more connected to your higher self and inner knowing…PAUSE Anything that is not serving you from a place of intuition is being washed away……. Washed away so that you can live fully and completely clear….. trusting in the universe and in yourself……LONG PAUSE Slowly return……return…..slowly….PAUSE Come back to your breath…..welcome it in…..joyfully and with ease…PAUSE Gently…….. Open your eyes……look around you…. See the world in a new and glorious way……..PAUSE The integration is complete…….Your third eye chakra is feeling more balanced…..healed and open……PAUSE You are radiant….. clear…healthy and well…..PAUSE Healing Blessings~Namaste 💗💗💗 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.
