So rather than quickly getting rid of the discomfort,  If we’re willing to sit with it, We can learn the lessons it’s here to teach us, We can hear the wisdom it's here to share.  So take a moment to adjust your body, Letting yourself settle into a position that feels natural and comfortable for you.  Take a deep breath in, Signaling to your mind that it’s time to come inside.

So settle into your bed, positioning yourself as comfortably as you can on your back.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Instead come inside, And recognize the truth, That the journey is where life is lived. Every moment of bliss, Every teardrop that falls, Are pebbles in the road that you walk. Every ounce of you knows, These moments are numbered, That this life has a ticking clock.  PAUSE… So let down your guard, And show them the you, That you are when you’re fully expressed. 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.

Following your breath in and out, And surrendering yourself to its soothing,  Slow rhythm. Breathe... PAUSE… Now see if you can imagine a soft, pink ball of light,  Shining within you at your center.  Feel its warmth,  Its comforting glow of loving kindness within you. With every breath, Watch as your soft, pink ball of light radiates its glow into all the parts of your body, Filling you up entirely with loving kindness, With generosity, With compassion, With gentleness. You feel light, Loved, And whole. Breathe… PAUSE… Now see if you can imagine a crowd of people all around you. As you look around, you see those you love, Your friends,  Family, Acquaintances, Colleagues.  Now imagine that your beautiful, pink light radiates out onto all of them, Covering them with your loving-kindness, And letting them feel your empathy, Connectedness, And love. PAUSE… Notice how much deeper your own love grows as you share it with others.  How much lighter you are, How much more joy there is inside of you. PAUSE… Now see if you can imagine another crowd of people appearing.  These are the billions of other people in the world you have not yet met and do not know. You look around and look into the eyes of other women, men and children, And you immediately feel connected to them, One with them, Deeply aware that each of them have a significant life,  And a history that deserves respect.  PAUSE… Let your warm, pink light radiate out onto every single one of them,  Connecting you, And showering them with the gentle loving kindness that continues to flow abundantly from you. PAUSE… Now see if you can imagine that beyond the crowds of people in front of you,  You see all the animals and creatures of the world,  The plants, the trees, the water and the mountains, And all of Mother Nature’s wonders.  You see the Earth, The sun, the moon, the stars,  And the infinite depths of the Universe.  They’re all here. You are them,  And they are you. So give them your loving kindness, And let them feel the expanding glow of your beautiful pink light.  PAUSE… Everyone matters. Every thing matters.  So sit in the richness of your pink glow today, my love, Saturated with loving kindness for yourself, For others, And for the entire universe.  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 Learn more about your ad choices.

He says, “no act of kindness is too small. The gift of kindness may start as a small ripple that over time can turn into a tidal wave affecting the lives of many” So let yourself settle into comfort,  Taking a big, deep breath in, Filling yourself up with fresh air,  And then exhale and release,  Settling deeper into comfort, As your breath comes into a nice, easy rhythm.  PAUSE… For the next few minutes, simply be here with the words of Kevin Heath and see what they bring up for you. No act of kindness is too small. The gift of kindness may start as a small ripple that over time can turn into a tidal wave affecting the lives of many LONG PAUSE… Now bring your attention to your breath, And bring your hands to your heart.  May you bring your gifts of kindness to the world today, and begin the tidal waves of love for others.
