Softening and calming, From the top of your head, Down into your face, Your neck,  Your shoulders, Arms, Chest, Belly, Back,  Hips, Legs, And feet.  Softening,  And relaxing, As you sink further into comfort. LONG PAUSE… See if you can locate the emotions, Swirling,  Or anchoring, Or floating inside.  PAUSE… It doesn’t matter why they’re here, Or what stories they tell. Just identify them, Isolating them, And holding them in place.  LONG PAUSE… Now see if you can imagine, Your arms wrapping around these emotions, Embracing each jagged edge, Each soggy tear, Each bursting star. PAUSE… You show them love,  Honoring each of them, Silently grateful for each one.  PAUSE… Now every time you exhale,  Imagine your embrace loosening,  And all of your emotions floating free. Slowly,  Hovering around you,  Slowly drifting away.  LONG PAUSE… Each exhale pushes them further away from you, Inch by inch, Mile by mile,  Galaxy by galaxy.  PAUSE… Breathe them out, Breathe them away, Let the emotions dissolve, They can no longer stay.  LONG PAUSE… Feel the liberation and expansion.  You are not defined by your emotions, You are the witness of your emotions.  You are the calm presence that remains unchanged amidst the ebb and flow of emotions. LONG PAUSE… Your body is calm,  Your mind is clear, And you are free.

PAUSE… Now, see if you can recall a recent experience where you felt disappointed.  It could be a disappointment in yourself, others, or a situation.  Allow yourself to fully acknowledge and feel the disappointment,  without judgment or resistance.  Notice where you feel it in your body, and gently breathe into that area, allowing it to soften. LONG PAUSE… As you breathe, imagine that with each inhale,  you are inhaling soothing and healing energy,  and with each exhale,  you are releasing disappointment and any related emotions.  Breathe in peace, and breathe out disappointment. PAUSE… Now, bring to mind any expectations or attachments that you had in relation to the situation that led to disappointment.  Notice if there were any rigid expectations, unrealistic demands, or attachments to outcomes.  Without judgment, simply observe them as they arise,  and offer yourself compassion for holding onto these expectations. LONG PAUSE… Visualize yourself holding these expectations in your hands,  and then gently release them, letting them float away like clouds in the sky.  Allow yourself to let go of any need for things to be different,  and simply be present with what is, without resistance or grasping. PAUSE… As you continue to breathe, imagine a warm,  healing light enveloping you, comforting and nurturing you.  Allow this healing light to fill any spaces within you that were occupied by disappointment,  soothing and calming those areas with love and acceptance. PAUSE… Now, bring to mind any forgiveness that may be needed. Forgiveness towards yourself or others involved in the situation that led to disappointment.  Offer yourself and others forgiveness,  knowing that everyone makes mistakes and has their own challenges.  Allow forgiveness to flow freely, releasing any lingering resentment or bitterness. LONG PAUSE… Take a few moments to simply rest in this space of letting go,  Of surrendering to the present moment, and of cultivating self-compassion and forgiveness.  Let go of the past, and be fully present in this moment,  knowing that you have the power to release disappointment and create a fresh start. LONG PAUSE… As you prepare to drift off to sleep, allow these words to embrace your heart.  I release disappointment and embrace the present moment with love and acceptance.  I am worthy of forgiveness and compassion. You are deserving of peace and healing. PAUSE… Now, as you slowly begin to drift into sleep, carry with you a sense of lightness and freedom from disappointment.  Release any remaining tension in your body,  and surrender to the gentle rhythm of your breath, The gentle rhythm of the night.  Full of peace, And love.  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 To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

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 deeply and gently through your body and into the innermost parts of yourself. PAUSE As as you breathe, let the breath you bring in carry peace and relaxation. And let the breath you exhale release tension, stress, and pain. PAUSE Keep letting yourself relax. And as you do, watch as all your distracting thoughts are gathered up and floated away. PAUSE Now, imagine if you can, standing before a giant tree, an ancient tree, with boughs round and wide like bass drums, and limbs blossoming with flowers and leaves PAUSE As you stand before the tree, a reverence washes over you, a reverence for all the history that the tree has seen. You want to climb into the tree and learn its secrets. PAUSE Now, visualize if you can, being magically lifted into the tree, and gently placed on a large bough. PAUSE As you take a deep breath, you settle in and relax in the tree. Moments later, the tree’s flowery limbs  surround you with peace  and a sweet fragrance. PAUSE As you listen for the stories of the tree, a dream-like whisper floats by your ear, and you hear: “I’ve seen you fight. You are strong.” The flowery limbs cradle you lovingly. PAUSE And then a few minutes later,  the tree whispers: “I’ve seen you hold for those you love. You are strong.”  And again,  the flowery leaves cradle you lovingly. PAUSE Now, allow yourself to pause for a moment, and feel yourself floating, Relaxed and calm– floating through a  journey through time– Your journey through time. PAUSE After resting, you prepare to climb down, Taking the secrets of the tree with you. But as you do,  the tree whispers again: “You fight hard and true. You love hard and whole.” PAUSE As you are gently cascaded to the ground, you turn toward the tree, and uplift your arms, wide and strong, like the tree’s boughs. And as you whisper  the words “Thank you,” a gentle breeze carries them into the tree’s branches.

So let yourself slither around in your bed until you find the sleeping position you love the most. Take a deep breath in when you find it, And then exhale and settle even deeper into your bed. Be here. With the stillness of the night. And allow its cool, calm silence to isolate those thoughts racing through your mind.  Those worries, Anxieties,  Stresses, Fears.  They are the ones in rigorous motion against the backdrop of the stillness. PAUSE… Thoughts. Stories. Emotions. That’s all they are.  They are not you. What’s true is this moment.   This breath. You. Here on your bed.  Alive. Breathing.   So allow yourself to separate them from you, All these worries. Inviting them to exit the rapid movement inside your head, And enter the stillness of the night.  This moment of presence, Where the worries cannot exist.  Watch them dissolve in the space around you, The tiny grains of sand spilling from them until nothing is left.  Release the worries into the peaceful presence of the night. LONG PAUSE... Feel the deep relaxation of your body as the worries dissolve. It melts into the arms of the night, Releasing its need to control, Or be ready, Or fight. And instead softens, Trusts, And surrenders. Relax and release. PAUSE… It’s time to sleep. So breathe… In and out, And fall into the depths of the night.

You try to hide it, With busyness and smiles, You think that none of it shows.  PAUSE I remember that black spiral, The suffering inside, The painful dark night of the soul. I reach out to hug you, Knowing I can’t save you, I see everything you hold.  PAUSE I have to let you fall, Down, down, down. I have to let you break, And pick yourself up from the ground.  LONG PAUSE Your demons are roaming, Black grains of sand, Wanting to take over your heart. Don’t let them consume you, Just come back inside, Breathe…and remember who you are.  PAUSE I know it feels heavy, You’re dizzy and scared, But there is purpose in the pain. You’ll have to get honest, And feel everything, Unravel the blame and the shame.  PAUSE So let yourself fall, Down, down, down. Let yourself break, Pick yourself up from the ground.  LONG PAUSE In between your breathes, In the spaces between thoughts, Pools of peace await. You have to slow down, To come deep inside, Surrender to the water’s weight.  PAUSE You’ll question, you’ll cry, You’ll grieve and you’ll wish, This space is safe for it all.  Let it all burn, Then rise from the ashes, A new you will emerge from it all.  PAUSE You know you can fall, Down, down, down. You know you can break,  And fly far from the ground.  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 To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The piano flavors the  already-beautiful sounds by adding layers of  sweet harmonics, PAUSE The notes of the piano, play inside and around you, filling you with self-confidence and positivity. PAUSE Take a deep breath, and let yourself synergize with the orchestra. Allow it to become you, and you it. PAUSE And, as you feel that fluid music all through you, a sense of gratitude for this  orchestral odyssey, comes over you. For each instrument brings a gift. PAUSE   Breathe in the violin. Its magic gift to you  is its dreaminess. Breathe in the flute. Its magic gift to you is its joyfulness. Breathe in the French horn. Its magic gift to you is its balance. Breathe in the piano. Its magic gift to you is its positivity. PAUSE After a few moments, the instruments softly fade into the background, and you are placed gently  back in your bed. As you lie there, drifting peacefully to sleep, you know you are an orchestra of life. An orchestra that plays beautifully, every day and night.
