PAUSE So, prepare your mind, and your body, too. Relax and open, through and through. PAUSE Now, as you draw in a breath, imagine someone asks, “What can you learn from a blade of grass?” PAUSE So, look down below at your freshly cut lawn, still covered in dew from the early dawn. And before your eyes, a blade of grass appears, talking in a voice that can be heard by your ears. PAUSE Now, take another breath, and let calm be your guide. Listen to the grass to hear what’s inside. PAUSE “I’m tall and flexible, and even a little cool,” says the blade of grass looking up to you. PAUSE “I stand my own ground, and in that, I take pride. I know who I am both out and inside.” PAUSE The words of the grass, though odd, ring true. It seems this little plant has something to say to you. PAUSE Says the blade, “When you go through life, do you feel good about you? if not, it’s time for a Blade of Grass review.” PAUSE Then the blade points out all the other blades of grass, and says, “We’re all different. That is a fact!” “You may think we look the same at first glance. But we’re all individuals that do our own dance!” PAUSE “And one more thing,” says the Blade looking at you. “Though we are individuals, we are connected, too.” PAUSE And, like magic, the blade of grass disappears, Leaving you with some ideas that are becoming clear. You are truly an individual, with gifts all your own, and more importantly, you’re not alone. For you’ve been reminded Of your strength in mind, body, and spirit. It had to come from a blade of grass, in order for you to understand and really hear it.

PAUSE Come into your breath, And find the smoothness of its rhythm. They way you expand as you inhale, And contract as you exhale. The rise and fall of it all, The circular nature of your breathing. PAUSE Let your breath slow you down, As you sink further into its cycles. Opening a space for your thoughts to extract, And float away. Extract, And float away. LONG PAUSE Now soften your body, From head to toe. Imagining waves of calm, Moving through you, Over and over again, Relaxing you deeply.

PAUSE Be here in this space, And as you breathe, Feel the space between each vertebrae expand, Opening, And releasing all the tension and energy, It was holding.

Watch it illuminate and soften with your attention.

PAUSE Breathe in and expand, Breathe out and release. LONG PAUSE Now follow the golden glow, To the top of your spine. Your shoulders, Your neck, And the base of your head. PAUSE Breathe into the spaces between your vertebrae, Stretching them apart, As all the pain, And tension release. Expanding, Releasing. Expanding, Relieving. LONG PAUSE Now feel the golden glow of your entire spine, As a gentle force pulls from the top, And from the bottom, The thoughtful opposition, Elongating you, Flooding your entire body, With lightness, And relief, As any remaining tension, Energy, And pain, Releases, And dissolves.

PAUSE As that breeze gently sails through the oak trees, you notice something: The branches dance with the breeze. They bend forward and back in rhythm with the breeze. PAUSE Take a deep breath, and as you breathe out, visualize a pair of butterflies, dancing together near a flower. PAUSE The butterflies flit and flutter in unison, sometimes giving each other space, sometimes drawing close. All while gracefully twirling from flower to flower. PAUSE Breathe in again slowly, letting the richness of the breath open you more. PAUSE As you exhale, visualize a tiny plant pushing up from the ground like a new bud.

Until the plant, and leaves, and flowers, stand upright in the world.

As you feel that pulse, allow yourself to blend with it, Letting it melt into your cells with energy flowing. LONG PAUSE Now gently shift your focus to your breath, Breath that sweeps and expands within you, Every time you breathe in, And out. LONG PAUSE As your breath fills you, become aware of its rhythm, its pulse– Drawing in… and letting out… in… and out. LONG PAUSE Now, see if you can imagine an artist’s canvas inside you, Unfolding at your center, spreading to your chakras. See a paintbrush thick with colors, swishing life and energy onto your canvas. PAUSE… Envision the paintbrush at the base of your spine, painting your root chakra red, filling it with stability, like an ancient tree whose roots run deep. Breathe in the tree’s aroma and hear a soft whisper, Red grounds me. PAUSE… Now, the paintbrush moves below the belly button, with long, orange strokes It taps your feelings– Opening them like a kaleidoscope of emotions that you feel and breathe in. You hear the whisper, Orange connects me to my feelings. PAUSE Envision the brush now rolling over your center With waves of yellow like rays of sunshine, shimmering with confidence. Breathe in the rays and hear, Yellow radiates my confidence. PAUSE Now, the brush wraps gently ‘round your chest, With a beautiful green, flowing over the heart. And with each pass of the brush, calm washes over you. Breathe in the calm as the words come, Green is my peace. PAUSE The brush moves to the throat chakra with turquoise-blue that glistens like the ocean. You peer into the water and see your true expression, So, you breathe in the ocean and affirm, Blue is my self-expression. PAUSE The brush dips deep into an abundant indigo blue and forms scallops along the edges of your third eye, Like a flower that tingles your third eye with truth, it blossoms with your awareness, As you hear, Indigo opens my intuition. PAUSE The paintbrush pauses as it reaches the crown chakra. Then, with a single stroke, a divine purple light stretches from you to the heavens. PAUSE You're in awe of the light. You reach out to touch it and as it moves through your fingers, you know. With purple, I am one with the Divine. LONG PAUSE… You are calm. You are aligned. You are whole.

PAUSE Now, breathe deep, taking a pause to release all the stress onto the page. PAUSE Imagine looking at the page with all your stress emptied onto it. Look at what’s written on the page. PAUSE And, now, imagine if you can, An eraser gently erasing the stress. And with each stress removed, a feeling of greater calm comes over you. PAUSE Observe the eraser work, until every bit of stress is completely gone, and there is only a blank white page. Breathe, and feel the deep relaxation around you. PAUSE After a moment, visualize the pen writing again. Watch closely, as each stroke of the pen forms letters and words, until you see the words: “I am powerful.” See those words. Hear those words.

You don’t have to play, With someone who treats you bad. PAUSE… You don’t have to feel, Like you’re not allowed to be, Wholly and completely you, Wild and magical and free.

Time to start fresh and infuse your day with intention and love. So close your eyes and settle, Allowing your body to drop into a place where you feel relaxed and alert. Focus on your breath, And with each breath out, let yourself release any residual emotions or thoughts that may still be lingering from yesterday. Relax and release. Relax and release.

How do you feel when you wake up in the morning lately? I’ve noticed that I wake up under the weight of a never-ending task list. I spend my mornings in my head, organizing, prioritizing and putting life’s puzzle pieces together. I get a lot of satisfaction out of this. (Anyone else’s brain work like tetris?) But, I’ve noticed that there’s an undercurrent of anxiety here. Kinda like, if I keep checking things off this task list, “it” won’t get me. I can keep “it” at bay. What is “it?” I’m not too sure yet. But what I do know is that there are a lot of moving parts in my life right now. (You too?). Many big things in transition. So, perhaps my tetris brain feels some sense of control as all these things are on the move. Perhaps this in and of itself is fine, but what about the underlying worry? It’s like I’m watching an artist painting a mural and I’m unsure of how the big, red stroke of color she just made fits in. I can’t see the larger picture. So I worry. I let anxiety pool up inside my mind and body and fret about each brushstroke. I seem to forget that I can just sit back and trust that the artist will create the most magical masterpiece. That I can surrender to the flow of the process. And I forget that I am the artist. And that I am creating this vision with the Universe. Can you think of an area of your life where you are in the energy of worry lately? What are you always trying to control? What are you always trying to organize? Now breathe… How can you invite in more trust? How can you loosen your grip on all the details? Trust the process. Trust yourself. Trust the flow. Trust in the divine purpose of it all. And how does that make you feel? Today I’m making a few declarations, commitments to myself, and you’re welcome to join in with me if it feels right for you. I choose to pause each morning and become aware of my energy. I choose to remember who I am, so that I may move through my day aligned. I choose to follow what feels good, and trust my intuition. I choose to remember that I am the painter…the creator of my life. Each color, each brushstroke is up to me. I choose to let go of the energy of worry and surrender to the energy of trust. I would love to know what this brings up for you and how it applies to your life right now. And, I would really appreciate you sharing your reviews on Apple Podcasts…let me know what meditations you loved, and perhaps some meditations you’d like more of. I love you.

PAUSE There are days and weeks when you’re overburdened, when there’s just too much to do, and too little time to do it. PAUSE Keeping with the peace inside you, Imagine a clock on the wall ticking away, A clock telling you how much time you have for this and for that.

PAUSE Visualize yourself deciding when and how each thing on your to-do list will happen. And each time you decide, Take a deep breath, and hear: “I let all the stress go.” PAUSE It’s whispered in the air again: “I let all the stress go.” PAUSE It’s all around you gently saying: “I let all the stress go.” PAUSE Now, visualize those words Sinking into you, Flowing like a river, and finding their way to your heart.

And, now imagine if you can, your arms transform into wings, and you become The Guardian of the Night: The Owl. PAUSE Feel yourself lifting into the night sky, soaring above pine trees, gently fanned by a breeze. You see everything with your deep yellow eyes, and hear everything with your sensitive ears The world is both around and in you. PAUSE Now, imagine descending on a tree branch, with a full moon beaming. As you sit on the branch, your awareness of the beyond heightens: There is more than the here and now. You know and feel the past, present, and future all at once. Your intuition is strong. PAUSE Now, take a deep breath and extend your arms again. Allow yourself to fly back to the now. PAUSE As you come back to the present, take a deep breath, and allow the ancient wisdom of the owl to infuse you. Breathe again, and accept the owl’s gifts that are now part of you: The knowledge of Past, Present and Future And powerful Intuition. And, as you continue breathing, let yourself feel grateful, for what the owl has shown you. You are blessed by the owl.

PAUSE… The joys are undeniable, While the costs can feel immense, And though we wouldn’t change a thing, We’re aware of the expense.

PAUSE Stay with those feelings, As they dissipate your stress, And leave you open and aware Of what you want to express. PAUSE There are times in life, When our grief is like a slide, It sends mood downward, And it feels like an endless ride. PAUSE It opens a pit in your core, With pain you want to kill. You try everything to suppress it, But the pain comes back still. PAUSE Grief is a feeling That finds you when you hide, Then sends you spiraling, Farther down the slide. PAUSE So, breathe very deep. Go ahead and scream and cry. Let out all the pain That keeps lurking inside. PAUSE For it will pause eventually, And give you peace, And you’ll feel a bit better, When you let these emotions release. PAUSE So, when you’re on the grief slide, Whizzing down fast, Imagine grabbing hold of the sides, Until the feelings pass. Then visualize, if you can, Inching back up the slide, Getting to the top, Where you started the ride. And give yourself a break, Or maybe a pat on the back, No matter where you climb to, You’ve made progress–that’s a fact. PAUSE And the next time your grief, Pries open your core, And you’re compelled to fill it With something more. Imagine your hands, Holding onto each side, And pushing yourself back up To the top of the slide. PAUSE Then breathe. And breathe. And breathe. PAUSE Just give yourself space and know, This how you handle your grief, And that in time, it will pass, And bring you relief. Blessings.
