So settle into your bed, positioning yourself as comfortably as you can on your back. Take a moment to cover yourself in your blankets if you like,  And then allow yourself to simply lay still for a few moments, As your attention shifts from all the outside noise of the day, To the calm inside your breath. PAUSE… Feel your body relaxing further with every breath, As the warmth of your soft bed pulls you in deeper, Deeper, Deeper.  PAUSE… Now slowly bring your attention to your arms, And slowly extend and stretch them in any direction that feels comfortable for you. Stretching them long as you feel your muscles expand, holding it for just a moment. And then release the stretch,  Allowing your arms to settle deeper into comfort. PAUSE… Now bring your attention to your neck, And slowly drop your head to one side, feeling the stretch on the side of your neck as you do. Breathe into the stretch, staying with the pull of the muscles, And release. Drop your head to the other side, stretching the other side of your neck, Imagine that muscle stretching and relieving any pain or tension it does, And then release,  Bringing your head and your neck back into a deeply relaxed and comfortable position. PAUSE… Now let your attention fall upon your face, As you open your mouth wide, stretching out the muscles in your cheeks, mouth and forehead. Keep expanding the stretch, feeling the muscles release the weight of the day, And then release,  Relaxing your forehead, face, cheeks and mouth,  As they melt into your pillow.  PAUSE… Now for the last stretch, reach your hands up above your head and stretch your legs out as far as you can, Pointing your toes and opening your fingers,  Imagining your body being pulled from the top and bottom as your body expands. Feel the stretch align your spine, And release any pieces of stress or tension stored in your body. And release,  Feeling the rush of calmness in your body, As you allow yourself to now settle into your favorite sleeping position. PAUSE… Breathe. If there’s any more tension or pain in your body, Breathe it out through your exhale.  And then surrender further into the comfort of your bed. Breathe and release. Breathe and relax.

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 This morning’s meditation is a breathing exercise to expand our ability to be patient, and surrender to what is with an attitude of love and gratitude. So settle yourself into a position that’s comfortable for you, Adjusting your body a bit if needed, And when you’re ready,  Take a deep breath in, Expanding your chest and belly as much as you can, Holding it for a moment at the top, And then exhale,  Releasing all the thoughts and tension inside.  Bring your breathing to a normal, easy rhythm, And simply practice being here for a bit. PAUSE… Opportunities to practice patience are abundant. When our kids won’t do what we want. When another person is taking longer than expected. When our cravings for something ache so much. In these moments,  We can practice breathing into patience. Using our breath to bring us into the moment, And away from all the thoughts and emotions that we’ve attached to another person or situation. So let yourself imagine a person or situation for which you know you want to infuse yourself with patience. PAUSE… And take a deep breath in, Giving your full attention to the air filling you up from head to toe, Holding it for a moment at the top, And then exhale,  Releasing the air,  Releasing your expectations. Breathe in deep again all the way from your toes,  Gathering up any frustration or anger along the way, Holding it at the top, Hold, And then release your breath, Letting it all flow out of you. Let your breathing fall into a gentle, easy rhythm, And see if you can keep your full attention here, With the expansion and contraction of your body, With the feelings of their air on your nose as you breathe in and out, With the soothing motion of the air traveling in and out of you. PAUSE… Let the seeds of gratitude begin to sprout as you become aware of the miracle of your breath. Feeling it grow with every cycle,  And drown out any other emotions or thoughts that might want to invade this space.  Only gratitude is here. Only love. Be here now, And feel the patience flood in.

Sometimes we forget, To stop all our running, So life can be quiet and hush.  PAUSE… Our shoulders relax, Our minds slow down, A giant exhale is released.  Our body unwinds, More space opens up, Our grip upon life is unleashed. Feel yourself expand, And open up more, Let go of the doing right now.  There’s nowhere to be. Nothing to do, Just be here, and allow.  LONG PAUSE… Feel yourself unwinding,  And slowly letting go, Falling into the abyss. If you can just trust, That everything’s okay, This moment is truly bliss.  LONG PAUSE… Relax, And unwind. Release, And let go. Surrender, And find, You’re worthy, When slow.  LONG PAUSE… The layers peel off, With every conscious breath, The thoughts slow down and dissolve. Here in this moment, Feel the open depth, Everything upturned will resolve.  PAUSE… So many of us learn, That we have no worth, If achievements are not racking up. We strive and collect, And check off those tasks, Hoping we’ll measure up. PAUSE… But one truth you’ll find, When you finally unwind, Your stillness is your portal home. Within it you’ll see, Your worth is a guarantee, Apart from achievements alone.  PAUSE… So slow down, And be. Relax now, And breathe. Unwind here, And know, You’re clear, You flow.  LONG PAUSE… Feel yourself unwinding,  And slowly letting go, Falling into the abyss.

It can help us put words to what's going on inside of us, bringing clarity and insights. It can give us a space to dream about what we want. Ultimately, journaling can help us get to know ourselves better. And journal prompts can encourage us to write ourselves into places we otherwise never would have gone.   This morning, we’re going to meditate and write about what brings you joy.  Settle into comfort,  Softening the muscles in your face, Lowering your shoulders, And letting your exhale release and relax your entire body. PAUSE… Now find your breath. And just be here for a moment with it. Riding its waves in and out, In and out. PAUSE… What brings me joy? Give yourself a few moments to marinate in this question, And then if you feel called to write what comes up, The music will play on as you do so.  PAUSE… If you’d prefer to simply sit and be present to the answers that arise in you, Then that’s fine too.  Either way, give yourself the gift of pondering the question, What brings me joy?

I call it a practice because it is always imperfect. Thoughts will arise and your mind will play with them. Your body will move and distract you. That is all completely normal. The purpose is to keep practicing coming back to your breath, back to the present moment, and surrendering to the silence.   So let’s begin with two deep breaths,  Inviting the cool air to fill you up entirely, And then exhale, releasing and relaxing.  One last deep breath in, Letting the air touch your fingers and your toes, And then breathe out, releasing and relaxing.  Now be here, With the silence,  With yourself.

There’s no need to fear, For the journey will prove, There’s no need to be so stressed. LONG PAUSE… We get so caught up, In the achieving and doing, We forget to breathe deep and see. That this moment right here, Is just a part of the journey, So look around, and just be. LONG PAUSE… Slow down, And relax. Slow down, And release. PAUSE… Enjoy every step, Even the ones that are tough, And breathe in the beauty of your life. Today’s big upset, Is tomorrow’s wisdom gained, Let go of all the strife.  LONG PAUSE… The journey is yours, To create and to mold, You decide how you will be.

Make the now the primary focus of your life.  The now is where we find the gift of a refresh. Where we can completely let go of the past and future and be present to invite in the refreshing energy we desire.   So relax your body, And bring your attention inward.  With every exhale,  See if you can settle just a bit deeper into comfort, Letting go and releasing, Letting go and releasing. And be here.  PAUSE… Take notice of any thoughts that might be popping up for you. The things you want to complete, The things you want to fix, The things you want to create. The things you want to figure out. Just notice them coming up. Separate from you, Swirling around like butterflies around you. And then bring your attention to your breathing. PAUSE… Follow your breath, This beautiful giver of life who only lives in the now. Hold onto her, And ride her waves of movement in and out of your body, Slowly, And surrender yourself to her soothing rhythm. Breathe… PAUSE… There’s nothing for you to do right now. Nothing for you to figure out, Nowhere you need to be. So come into this moment, One with your breath, One with your body, One with your soul, And one with the universe. And let the warming energy of the now invigorate you. LONG PAUSE… Be here. In the beauty of the present moment. And open yourself up to the refreshing energy awaiting you here.

If you’d like an easy ad-free experience for all of our podcasts - that’s over 200 episodes each month, then JOIN PREMIUM today at https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium We hold on so tightly, To the outcomes that we want. Our fingers squeeze around them, And our hold locks into place.  PAUSE… Our vision hones in on what’s within our grip, And suddenly everything else is invisible. PAUSE… We wait and we watch, Counting the moments as we stare, Completely oblivious to anything else around us. PAUSE… What we don’t realize, Is that we’re suffocating our desires,  The tighter we hold. And we become blind to the manifestations of our dreams, That aren’t born inside of our fists. PAUSE… So dream, sweet one, Visualize and hope, And take action every single day. But peel back those fingers,  And loosen that grip. Widen your gaze, And detach from the outcome. So creativity can flow, And you can breathe. Breathe now, Pulling the air in deep into you, As it fills you up. And then release, As you exhale all that air out.  PAUSE… One more deep breath in, Expanding your belly and chest to their max, Gathering up those details, Thoughts, And worries, And then releasing them all, As you breathe out. PAUSE… Now, bring your breathing to a soft, easy rhythm, And be here for a bit. One with the movement of your body, One with the openness of your mind. LONG PAUSE… Holding on tightly to the outcome we want, Will not ensure we get it.  But it will steal our attention, Intensify our emotions, And cause our minds to obsess. PAUSE… So imagine your hand opening gently, On the outcomes it desperately holds. Imagine your fingers slowly peeling back. PAUSE… Watch those petals of desires,  Unfurl and expand, Free from the pressure, Free to breathe. PAUSE… Breathe here with them, And find a gentle rhythm that nourishes. PAUSE… Feel the soft breeze kiss your face, And dance with the colorful petals in your open hand. PAUSE… Slowly and beautifully, The petals ride the waves of the breeze, As they float away in all directions,  Free to land where they’re meant to be.  LONG PAUSE… And here you are, Light and peaceful, Relaxed and calm. Surrendered to the magic of the petals, That will dance and spin, Until they’re ready to land.

What answers do you seek? Offer them up to the sky.  Feel the wind carry them, Like leaves floating away,  Then listen…you might hear a reply.  LONG LONG PAUSE Let your body melt,  Deeper and deeper,  Relaxing and releasing what’s here. Let your mind clear, Lighter and lighter,  Let the moment take you, my dear.  LONG LONG PAUSE Now come back to breath, To this moment now,  Feeling so light and refreshed. Whatever you heard, Whatever you felt,  Trust it, and release all the rest.  PAUSE Anytime you need, Guidance and clarity, Answers to questions you seek.  Come deep within, And trust that you know, The language your soul speaks.

We’ve all felt the pangs of too little rest.  We’ve felt the heaviness build when we’ve pushed too hard, Done too much, Without enough rest to restore us.  So this morning’s meditation is a reminder that our level of rest is intricately connected to our level of stress.  So use this as a tool anytime you feel your levels of stress rising, so you can invite in more rest, and find equilibrium.   Settle in, dear one, And know you’re not alone.  We all could use more rest, We all have felt too much stress.  So surrender yourself to this practice today, Forgetting about all of those details in your mind, All those things weighing on you, And instead… Just rest here. PAUSE… Breathe them all out, Those thoughts, Those expectations, That running list of things you have to do. Breathe it out, And let it go.  PAUSE… Let yourself rest here, With your whole body, Your whole mind, Your whole spirit.  Rest deeply. PAUSE… Feel yourself soften, Unraveling from the stresses. Opening up space inside, And settling into restorative rest.  LONG PAUSE...
