And take a moment of silence to just observe your thoughts. PAUSE Now, breathe again, and visualize a beautiful woven basket where you place all those thoughts in it, so you are ready for meditation. PAUSE Take a moment, and envision yourself on a beach just comfortably sitting  and taking in the surroundings. PAUSE And in the distance, you see a group of brown pelicans bobbing up and down in the water enjoying their time together quietly PAUSE A little while later, the pelicans lift out of the water and form a V, as they circle around the beach. There is no squawking or noise. It’s as if they all just connected and understood. You understand and feel the beauty in that. PAUSE As you continue to watch the pelicans, you notice their patient approach to catching their food. They fly a few feet above the water, Gazing into it, waiting for the right opportunity. Then, when the opportunity arises, they dive. They scoop up a fish with their beaks, and tip back their necks to swallow it. They return to patiently flying and looking for more food together. PAUSE Moments later, the pelicans change directions and fly out toward the horizon, the wings open and gliding, forming a silhouette  against the sun. PAUSE Now, draw in a deep breath, and let the energy of the pelicans into you. Feel their patience and connectedness to each other.  PAUSE Now, take a moment, and allow yourself  to create an intention from the pelican’s energy. “I will approach life with patience for myself and others.” PAUSE Draw in another breath, and let the intention really into your heart. As it settles there, know that you can access it, and the essence of the pelican, at any time. It is yours always.

Breathe again, and relax even more deeply. PAUSE Breathe deeply once more, and as you do, let your mind open to new possibilities. PAUSE Now, imagine, if you can, sitting on the edge of a dock when a wrinkly, whiskered face with soulful eyes pops out of the water. It’s a manatee. a gray, billowy manatee. PAUSE And, while watching the manatee, you become aware of its  friendliness. It seems like it smiles at you,  and you smile back. PAUSE The manatee moves  with a slow gracefulness. It leads with its gentle spirit, stopping and slowing  for other fish,  or to pop its head out again  and say, “Hi” again to you. PAUSE Now, imagine if you can, feeling a sense of connectedness to the manatee. Take a moment and feel the creature’s gentle spirit, its innate kindness and peace in you. Hold onto that feeling. PAUSE After a few moments, the manatee submerges, and then in a languid glide, moves out to sea. PAUSE Yet, as the manatee swims off, something of its spirit stays with you. In that moment, you feel a change. PAUSE Now, draw in a deep breath, and as you do, feel the kindness and gentleness of the manatee settling in you. Breathe again, Allow yourself to create an intention based on the manatee’s spirit. “I will embrace a life of kindness and gentleness.” PAUSE Let that intention sink into you and be your guide for today and all days that follow. With that intention leading you, greater peace and harmony will naturally become part of your life.

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 You notice the  effortless motion of the turtle’s flippers that glide it through the water. PAUSE You notice its rough, wizened face that suggests decades of life and wisdom. PAUSE As you move along with the turtle, you see that it rises to the surface for a few moments. It pokes its head out and then floats, letting the warm sun gently bathe its body. PAUSE After a while, the turtle dives  back into the water. But the descent is slow and graceful. There is no rush. Just a peaceful progression to what is next.  PAUSE As the turtle reaches the bottom, it nibbles on some sea grass, savoring every bite. Again, there is no rush. PAUSE Now, bring yourself back to the present moment. And, as you do, ask yourself  what have you learned from the sea turtle. Can you find areas in your life where you can slow down? PAUSE Breathe. and create an intention to slow down the pace of your life, to give yourself less stress, and to let every moment matter. “I will slow down and savor the moment.” Just like the sea turtle. Practice, and it will be yours. now and always.

Feel it open and energize you. PAUSE Now, take a slow, deep breath, and let the energy circulate through you. PAUSE Now, imagine, if you can, getting to swim with dolphins. Together, you are in the water. PAUSE The first thing you observe is how they glide and flow in the water. Their bodies effortlessly cut through the sea and under waves. Sometimes, they even jump over the waves. PAUSE As they dance in the waves, you feel a sense of joy rising in you– a sense of playfulness that you may not always allow to come to the surface. In this moment, that sense of playfulness is alive. PAUSE The next thing you notice about these whimsical spirits is their connectedness to each other. They click and chirp, sending coded messages to each other. PAUSE As you move close to each dolphin, their eyes twinkle with intelligence. They may twirl and spin and splash, but they are also smart and aware. PAUSE After a while, the dolphins swim to a school of fish. the playing and splashing stop, they become focused on their food, all working together. PAUSE Once the dolphins are fed, they return to their joyful spirits, dancing in the waves. PAUSE Now, breathe, and return to the here and now. Does your life need more play? More time to be joyful like the dolphins? PAUSE Breathe. and create an intention to add more playfulness  to your life. “I will take time to play and find the joy in life.” Hold this intention close, and whenever life gets too serious, say it aloud,  and tap into your inner dolphin.

PAUSE Now, take a deep breath  and see how that aura opens up beyond you, goes into the world, spreading love and light. Take a moment to  truly see and feel this. PAUSE And now breathe, And shift to imagining a situation that  you’re concerned about. A situation with someone who might become angry or frustrated when you see them. Allow yourself to visualize this person from a distance and to avoid judging yourself or them. PAUSE Now, breathe deeply again, this time visualizing the aura of your heart reaching out to them, touching them, wrapping them in pink  with love and light. Hold them in this space. PAUSE Now, take a minute and notice that, as your love and light envelopes them, their face softens, their emotions shift, and they are  more open and receptive to you. And when the situation you were concerned about is presented to them, they respond with kindness,  compassion,  and understanding. PAUSE Now, breathe. Breathe and come back to the present moment. And while becoming aware of yourself and your surroundings, you bring an understanding with you– a realization that  you can use your heart’s aura of love and light at any time, to shift a challenging situation to a more positive, peaceful one.

PAUSE Lower your shoulders,  Release your jaw,  And see if you can follow the river of your breath flowing in, And flowing out.  In,  And out. Breathing in just a bit deeper with each inhale. And just a bit longer with your exhale.  Slowing down,  Slowing down.  LONG PAUSE See if you can find it, The space that exists in your center. The stillness that is always here.  PAUSE Sink into it,  Imagining all the thoughts,  Plans,  And emotions, Dissolving away with every breath, As you relax deeper into this space.  LONG PAUSE Away from responsibilities,  Expectations,  And stories,  You exist here. Naked and raw and real.  Fully you.  PAUSE You are whole.  You are worthy. You are love.  PAUSE This space is yours to explore. Hills and valleys of yourself,  Ready to be known, And understood, By you.  PAUSE Know thyself.  This being who’s part of the whole. Know thyself. This beautiful, loving soul.  LONG PAUSE Take a sweet journey,  Into the caverns of your heart. Interpreting the drawings on the walls.  Look deeper and find,  The stories and the fears,  Acknowledging them, And giving them permission to leave.  PAUSE Wander the fields of flowers, Letting your fingers graze and know each petal,  As you skip and feel the warmth of the sun. You are alive and free. PAUSE Know thyself.  This being who’s part of the whole. Know thyself. This beautiful, loving soul.  LONG PAUSE Anytime you struggle,  Anytime you’re unsure,  The answer is always within.  Whenever you stumble,  Or pain has shocked you, Breathe deep and turn inside.

Know thyself.

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 Quietly center yourself and breathe. Breathe into the depths of your core. PAUSE And, as you breathe, allow your mind to clear and open, as you prepare for meditation. PAUSE Now, breathe again, and imagine, if you can, opening the door to a room with a round table. Seated at the table  are Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and Nelson Mandela. PAUSE As you enter the room, you notice there is a fourth chair at the table, a chair for you. You quietly slide into the chair. PAUSE As you sit down,  you realize that the three men are in a discussion about freedom. When they see you’re seated, they smile, nod, and turn their attention to you. PAUSE Martin Luther King speaks first, “I had a dream of peace and love for all,” he says. Now, it is your turn to smile and nod at Dr. King. PAUSE Then, Mahatma Gandhi speaks, “Violence is never the answer. Violence just begets violence.” Again, you nod and smile. PAUSE Then Nelson Mandela clears his throat and says, “Hatred has no place in this world.” You nod in agreement. PAUSE Pause for a moment, and think about why  you’ve been brought before these three men. “You all fought bravely for freedom.” PAUSE The three men nod, And then say, “But freedom is not free. There is a price to pay, whether it’s freedom for the whole world, or in your everyday life. There is a cost.” PAUSE You pause for a moment, sondering if what you heard was true. “Would you all have stopped  your fights if you knew the price.” The men all shake their heads no. “And neither should you,” they say. PAUSE Now, slowly come back to the present. and, as you do, think about your life. Are there areas where you want more freedom, but have been afraid to fight for it because of the cost? Really sit with this thought. Reflect on it. PAUSE Now, breathe again, and let the words of Gandhi, King, and Mandela sink into you. Acknowledge that you are being called to create more freedom in your life. To be who you really are. And that men like Gandhi, King, and Mandela wouldn’t have changed their minds just because there was a cost to freedom. The cost only makes your freedom more valuable.

PAUSE Take a deep breath, and as you do, imagine yourself as a painter in front of a white canvas on an easel. PAUSE Now, breathe again, and give yourself permission to be a magnificent artist, painting what’s in your heart with wild, free abandon. You are free to paint whatever you like. PAUSE Look at the colors, as they transform  into a design or image. Look at the paint strokes, as they form  people, objects, or shapes. Acknowledge your work. Acknowledge your expression. PAUSE Now, breathe again, and imagine transforming into a sculptor, gently, meticulously crafting a figure. PAUSE Watch as your hands glide freely, effortlessly  over the clay. Watch as an image appears. It can be anything you want. No boundaries. No requirements. No rules. So what do you sculpt? Take a moment and feel pride from this creation. PAUSE Now, breathe again, and this time, see yourself as a writer, perched on a chair in front of a computer. And, as a writer, you are free to write whatever you want. Your expression  has no limits. There is no judgment. What would you say? Would you feel a release from letting the words fall on the page? Let yourself write. Then, reflect on this for a minute. PAUSE Breathe deeply, and allow yourself to come back to the present. How did if feel to create, to just fully express yourself with total freedom? Hold onto this. And know that if you feel  stifled or constrained, that you are an artist, and that at any time, you can open your imagination and express yourself freely. Any time. Anywhere.
