    The years still don’t quite soften,

    The pain that was born long ago.

    I’ve attempted to process quite often,

    To understand what caused the blow.

    PAUSE

    I’ve searched amongst the shadows,

    Unearthed deep parts of myself.

    I’ve scoured the pools of the shallows,

    All in the name of mental health.

    PAUSE

    I thought that I had laid to rest,

    Those stories of the past.

    But when I saw your smile so bright,

    I knew healing was here at last.

    PAUSE

    Open up and show your heart,

    The pain has finally released.

    Grace and love embrace you,

    Healing is finally unleashed.

    PAUSE

    Breathe in slow,

    Breathe in deep,

    The memories start to fade.

    Opening up,

    May make you weep,

    That’s how healing’s displayed.

    LONG PAUSE

    I share the speech that I’ve rehearsed,

    A thousand times before.

    It softens as I’m fully immersed,

    Super present to my core.

    PAUSE

    My words are heard, my heart’s exposed,

    With tenderness it’s all met.

    I feel like I have just closed,

    The doors of pain and regret.

    PAUSE

    You share with me apologies,

    And mine come back your way.

    I remember your best qualities,

    As I listen to what you say.

    PAUSE

    Open up and show your heart,

    The pain has finally released.

    Forgiveness now embraces you,

    Healing has now increased.

    PAUSE

    Breathe in slow,

    Breathe in deep,

    A part of you has healed for good.

    Find your flow,

    With sweet release,

    It’s all now understood.

    LONG PAUSE

    Open up and show your heart,

    The pain has finally released.

    Grace and love embrace you,

    Healing is finally unleashed.



    Namaste, Beautiful

    All is well.

    All is clear.

    All is within me,

    To live life right here.


    PAUSE


    Possibilities appear,

    Fireworks in the sky.

    I stand here in awe.

    Knowing I can fly.


    PAUSE


    It requires I release,

    The old versions of me.

    Strip away the past,

    And let me fly free.


    PAUSE


    Fall, fall, fall away,

    Old stories that keep me bound.

    Breathe, breathe, breathe them out,

    The process is profound.


    PAUSE


    All is well.

    All is sweet.

    All is within me.

    I am complete.


    LONG PAUSE


    When pain comes around,

    Tapping on my door.

    It wants me to say yes to,

    The comfort it's given before.


    PAUSE


    But why would I want it,

    This pain that grabs at me?

    Because it keeps me safe,

    Affirms an identity.


    PAUSE


    But if I’m willing to let go,

    Of everything I’ve been,

    The pain can move through me,

    Be part of my evolution.


    PAUSE


    So slow, slow, slow it down,

    Open up more space.

    Let go of past and future,

    This moment is mine to embrace.


    All is well.

    All is energy.

    All is within me,

    To create and be.


    LONG PAUSE


    In this space of nothingness,

    Potential vibrates and sings.

    Now it’s up to me,

    To breathe life into my dreams.


    PAUSE


    I focus on my thoughts,

    On everything I desire.

    My body and emotions,

    Raise the vibration higher.


    PAUSE


    I set my intentions,

    One with my what and why.

    Then I hand over the how,

    To the magic of the Divine.


    PAUSE


    I go about my day,

    Like my dreams are here.

    Their inevitability,

    Dissolves all the fear.


    PAUSE


    And wouldn’t you know,

    Those fireworks of possibilities,

    Begin to take shape,

    Dreams manifest with ease.


    PAUSE


    No longer do I fight.

    No longer do I fear.

    I can create anything,

    When I live right here.



    Namaste, Beautiful

    Like a tornado,

    Life seems to spin,

    Your energy splashes,

    Creating chaos within.


    PAUSE


    Disoriented from the wind,

    You’re pulled in every way.

    You fight to find footing,

    But lose yourself in the fray.


    PAUSE


    Life bursts and shakes,

    Then spirals and breaks.

    You’re pulled in and out,

    Feeling chaos throughout.


    PAUSE


    So slow it all down,

    And come deep inside,

    Find your gentle breath,

    The grounding it provides.


    LONG PAUSE


    Breathe in real slow,

    And let the chaos fade.

    Lean into the rhythm,

    Your beautiful breath has made.


    LONG PAUSE


    Now imagine yourself still,

    In the middle of this roaring storm.

    It may be cold out there,

    But in here, you’re toasty warm.


    PAUSE


    Melt a little deeper,

    Into the stillness within.

    Focus to expand it now,

    Let all else continue to spin.


    LONG PAUSE


    Can you find some peace,

    In this sacred space of calm?

    While winds continue to blow,

    Thunder continues to drum?


    PAUSE


    Feel your feet connect with,

    The energy of the Earth.

    Feel the vibrations rise up,

    And remind you of your worth.


    PAUSE


    This storm is not you,

    The winds will fade away,

    When you choose to be,

    The calm in the chaos today.


    LONG PAUSE


    This storm is not you,

    The winds will fade away,

    When you choose to be,

    The calm in the chaos today.

    Each of these meditations will consist of a quote that I hope will motivate you to live your life to the fullest today.


    “The place between your comfort zone and your dream is where life takes place.” Helen Keller.


    Take a deep breath in,


    Letting the air fill your chest,


    Your belly,


    And come all the way down to your toes.


    Then breathe it all out,


    Till the very last drop of air has left you,


    And then allow yourself to settle into a nice, easy rhythm of breathing.


    In and out,


    Slower and slower,


    Relaxed,


    And still.


    PAUSE…


    The place between your comfort zone and your dream is where life takes place.


    PAUSE…


    Let yourself be here for a bit,


    Allowing yourself to recognize anything that comes up for you as you hear these words.


    Without judgement,


    Without expectation.


    With a still, open mind.


    LONG PAUSE…


    The place between your comfort zone and your dream is where life takes place.

    Close your eyes,

    Breathe with fresh purpose.

    Find your center,

    Set a clear intention.

    PAUSE…

    If you could begin your day with an idea,

    If you could hold one word in your mind,

    Something to keep you buoyed and on track,

    Which one would it be?

    PAUSE…

    Take a deep breath and consider,

    All you hope to do in this day.

    Is there a word to encompass it all,

    A symbol to sum up your aim?

    PAUSE…

    It might seem like an insignificant thing,

    One word in a sea of potential choices.

    But the power of a unifying intention,

    Can do wonders for the power of your vision.

    PAUSE…

    By streamlining your objective,

    You increase the chance you’ll achieve it.

    That one simple word shapes you into an arrow,

    A bolt of lightning targeting your desire.

    PAUSE…

    So take a breath and clear your mind,

    Search for that critical word.

    Pare your desire down to its essence,

    And name it for yourself.

    PAUSE…

    We all know there’s power in a name,

    The choice carries momentum and weight.

    What do you hope to take from your efforts,

    And how can you steer them that way?

    PAUSE…

    Think of words you already hold dear,

    The ones that stir you to action.

    Create a list of aspirational choices,

    And then trust your gut to decide.

    PAUSE…

    Perhaps you’re looking to take a stand,

    To make your needs and boundaries clear.

    Or maybe you want to set yourself apart,

    Determined to shine.

    PAUSE…

    You may have a much quieter desire,

    To keep the world’s influence out,

    While you do your best to stay grounded.

    PAUSE…

    You might be looking to show extra kindness,

    To seek out others who may need help.

    Or perhaps you’re ready to have some fun,

    To cut loose and make new friends.

    PAUSE…

    No matter which yearning sits in your heart,

    It’s valid, necessary, and worthy.

    Give yourself permission to go after it,

    Knowing you’ll be grateful in the end.

    PAUSE…

    It’s a small step, and yet so monumental,

    To let a ‘power’ word lead the way.

    Belief begins with a single choice,

    A recognition of your own priority.

    PAUSE…

    Take charge of what you do today.

    Stride with purpose instead of meandering through.

    Set the tone with foresight and commitment,

    And feel that mission impact your soul.

    Lean back and let your guard down,

    Set your daily armor aside.

    Breathe deep and imagine a vibrant meadow,

    Just waiting to be explored.

    PAUSE…

    Clear your mind and focus on the colors,

    Bright hues you can both see and feel.

    Deep green, dazzling purple, luminous yellow,

    Each one fills you with its radiant power.

    PAUSE…

    In your mind, set yourself free,

    To run across the field.

    Absorb the pulsing energy

    Of this thriving, buzzing world.

    PAUSE…

    Let yourself be young again,

    See your body leap and roll.

    Sink into the dewy blanket of grass,

    And stare up at the crystal-blue sky.

    PAUSE…

    The clouds are just as striking,

    As every color in this tableau.

    They move and shift as if tied to your mind,

    Offering a delightful parade.



    Watch the clouds and inhale slowly, find joy in their magical dance.

    Rise up to greet them as you exhale deeply, find peace in their gentle embrace.

    LONG PAUSE…

    Now float back down to the grassy earth,

    Let the scents waiting below envelop you.

    Wildflowers and soil and sun-soaked leaves,

    Calm you with their rich aromas.

    PAUSE…

    Turn your ear to the sounds all around you,

    Trilling birds, buzzing bees, rustling leaves.

    Nature’s orchestra in all its glory,

    Soothing you to sleep with its song.

    PAUSE…

    Spread your hands flat against the grass,

    Feel the silky blades on your skin.

    The earth has made a nest for you,

    A safe place to land and rest.

    PAUSE…

    You needn’t worry in this meadow,

    There’s nothing here to fear.

    In fact, this place is just for you,

    A haven tucked away from busy life.

    PAUSE…

    Let the buoyancy of this lovely place,

    Fill your heart with calm.

    Set your dreams and wishes free,

    Watch them float and dance on the wind.

    Inhale as you picture your fondest wish, taking shape before your eyes.

    Exhale and see it coming true, feel the lift it gives your heart.

    LONG PAUSE…

    This special escape will always be yours,

    Ready and waiting when you close your eyes.

    As simple as conjuring the lush green grass,

    And giving your spirit wings.

    PAUSE…

    When days are long and tough to take,

    It’s there to soothe your troubled soul.

    And when you’re exhausted and overwhelmed,

    It stands ready to restore your strength.

    PAUSE…

    Magic fills this secluded spot,

    Enchantment of the very best kind.

    Made of you, by you, and for you,

    It blossoms anywhere you choose.

    PAUSE…

    Though this meadow is your secret,

    It’s also your superpower.

    Go there whenever life weighs you down,

    And send your troubles away with the breeze.

    PAUSE…

    Or perhaps you’re feeling happy,

    And your heart wants more of that.

    A spot like this is just the place,

    For joys to multiply.

    PAUSE…

    In time, you may find friends there,

    Their shape and character yours to define.

    And if you crave rainbows, or raindrops, or snowflakes,

    Simply draw them with your mind.

    PAUSE…

    What could be more restful,

    Than a fantasy land of your own.

    A place where only good things can thrive,

    Where only beauty greets your eye.

    Inhale a soft and easy breath, drink in the grassy peace.

    Exhale and sink deeper into sleep, feel the gifts growing all around you.

    LONG PAUSE…

    Sleep comes easy in this land,

    Every bit of you at rest.

    Soft breezes blow all worries away,

    As distant crickets play lullabies.

    PAUSE…

    Better than any bed you’ve known,

    Softer than any pillow,

    This meadow is your comfort zone,

    Its solace for you alone.

    PAUSE…

    Feel relaxation come for you,

    Feel it settle beneath your skin.

    Breathe easily under its protective weight,

    Wrapped in true serenity.

    PAUSE…

    Close your eyes,

    letting all the

    work and stress and noise

    of the day

    just fall away.


    LONG PAUSE


    Now, shift your focus

    yo your breath,

    and as you do,

    notice that each breath

    you take

    relaxes you more deeply.


    LONG PAUSE


    As you relax,

    feel any area of your body

    that’s holding stress

    give way to relaxation.


    LONG PAUSE


    Now, imagine sitting outside

    with a slight chill in the air.

    You’re stretched out

    on a lounger

    with a dying fire

    in front of you.


    PAUSE


    The embers of the fire

    glow in and out,

    and every now and then,

    a piece of wood falls

    deeper into the fire,

    with ashes and light

    Bursting forth.


    PAUSE


    Marshmallows and chocolate bars

    rest on another chair,

    a reminder of the sticky sweet treats

    you enjoyed earlier.


    PAUSE


    The last life of the fire crackles

    in relaxing tones,

    sometimes louder,

    sometimes softer,

    a melody of tranquility


    PAUSE


    A breeze adds an extra nip

    to the air,

    and so you drape

    a fuzzy blanket over your shoulders.


    PAUSE


    Sitting back,

    gazing at the fire,

    you sip a cup of tea

    brewed with lavender and chamomile.


    PAUSE


    The tea relaxes and calms

    any nerves or stress

    in your body.

    It warms you

    to the perfect temperature,

    balancing the brisk air around you.


    PAUSE


    An incredible sense of

    comfort and safety

    envelopes you,

    as if all is well with you

    and with the Universe.


    PAUSE


    You take a deep breath

    letting the security and tranquility

    expand within you.

    There is peace and comfort

    beaming from inside you.


    PAUSE


    You gaze at the sky,

    and watch as the thousands

    of stars

    look like they're moving,

    and only you can see.

    They’re your magic stars.


    PAUSE


    Deep relaxation envelopes you

    wraps you in a soft blanket

    of love and coziness.


    PAUSE


    You snuggle deeper

    into the soul of the blanket,

    as a fresh chill in the air

    arrives.


    PAUSE


    A pillow appears behind you head,

    soft like a swan,

    and you rest your head and neck on it,

    letting the pillow gently cradle them.


    PAUSE


    Your eyes are heavy now,

    so you close them,

    and just continue listening

    to the gentle sizzle and snapping

    of the fire.


    PAUSE


    You snuggle more with the blanket,

    shifting it slightly

    to find the perfect position.


    PAUSE


    The fire crackles again,

    releasing a tiny orange flame

    that shimmies and bounces

    before falling back into an ember.


    PAUSE


    Take a breath and feel the cool air

    touch your chest and core.

    And as you do,

    you feel the sweet weight of sleep

    coming over you.


    PAUSE


    It’s time to rest,

    by the fire,

    under the stars,

    cocooned in your blanket,

    feeling relaxed, safe and

    deeply comfortable.


    Good night.

    Take a moment to center yourself,

    To wipe your inner slate clean.

    Give yourself over to a moment of peace,

    And take a break from all in your midst.

    PAUSE…

    Sometimes, you just need to slow things down,

    To give yourself time to think.

    But when time itself evaporates before your eyes,

    It feels impossible to slip away.

    PAUSE…

    There’s always something that needs doing,

    Always someone to make a request.

    You say yes, and yes, and yes some more,

    And then run out of time and space.

    PAUSE…

    You feel like a fool for agreeing,

    But you’d feel like a jerk for saying no.

    There’s no good approach to pleasing everyone,

    And the clock works against you at every turn.

    PAUSE…

    Don’t blame yourself for your kindness.

    Don’t beat yourself up for trying.

    If anything, change your perception of time,

    Stop competing with an invisible opponent.

    PAUSE…

    Think of time as a powerful tool,

    A way of ordering your world.

    Use it to serve your purposes,

    And set it aside as often as you can.

    PAUSE…

    Decide when you are off the clock,

    And when it just doesn’t exist.

    Take a block of time back for yourself,

    And don’t worry about the risk.

    PAUSE…

    We may owe the world certain things,

    And we definitely have bills to pay.

    But our hearts and souls have clocks of their own,

    And the world at large doesn’t have a say.

    PAUSE…

    The freedom to reorder time like this

    Is already in your grasp.

    You don’t need permission, it’s more like a decision,

    One that belongs to you alone.

    PAUSE…

    It’s often difficult to claim what we own,

    Even when we desperately want to do so.

    We think we owe others more than ourselves,

    And we pay the price without question.

    PAUSE…

    In truth, your allegiance must be to you,

    For you are your greatest ally.

    When you need affirmation of your own importance,

    Your heart and soul will gladly comply.

    PAUSE…

    Though things get cloudy in the outside world,

    Making it tough to see what’s real,

    The view is always crystal clear,

    When you peer out from deep within.

    PAUSE…

    So push that outer clock out of the way.

    Consult it only when you must.

    You don’t want waste even one soul minute,

    Giving power to an unnecessary device.

    PAUSE…

    So let it all unravel, this image of time,

    That makes you feel like there’s not enough.

    Feel yourself fly free, aligning with your soul,

    Knowing that this is the stuff.

    Namaste, Beautiful

    Take a deep, cleansing breath,

    a breath that opens you

    and takes away any stress

    from the day.


    LONG PAUSE


    And breathe in deeply again,

    letting the cool, comfort of your bed

    relax you as you sink deeper

    into it.


    LONG PAUSE


    And as you breathe,

    let your breath form a rhythm,

    gently moving in and out

    and lulling you into

    a deep, restful calm.


    LONG PAUSE


    Now, imagine the breath

    lightening your body,

    so that it feels more open,

    almost weightless.


    PAUSE


    And with this beautiful, relaxed feeling,

    notice the sheets of your bed

    transforming into fluffy clouds

    beneath your body.


    PAUSE


    After a moment,

    the clouds lift you up

    out of room and above

    the house,

    sailing slowly and gently

    through the air.


    PAUSE


    The air is like satin

    around you, giving you a

    wonderful level of comfort

    as you float along.


    PAUSE


    Now, imagine the cloud taking you

    to a wooden door with a arched frame

    and iron spikes all around like a gate…

    a door that leads to a garden.


    PAUSE


    The door creaks open

    and the cloud lets you down,

    and you are amazed at the lushness

    of the summer garden before you.


    PAUSE


    There are white and yellow daisies,

    purple geraniums, pink peonies

    and brilliant magenta hibiscus

    blooming everywhere.


    PAUSE


    You breathe in and catch

    the scent of lilac

    blossoming in a corner,

    Its beautiful purple stocks

    bending in the breeze.


    PAUSE


    As you stroll through

    the rows of rainbow colored flowers,

    one of the hibiscus flowers

    catches your attention:

    A tiny pink and green hummingbird

    is sipping its nectar.


    PAUSE


    You draw closer to the flower,

    and the bird doesn’t seem to mind,

    as you watch its tiny wings beat

    so fast you can barely see them there.


    PAUSE


    After a satisfying drink,

    the little hummingbird lifts in the air

    and leaves the garden.


    PAUSE


    Moments later a honeybee

    lands on a daisy,

    buzzing like a violin.


    PAUSE


    Safely, you watch the bee

    as it goes right to work

    gathering its food and then flitting to

    another flower,

    pollinating it

    and giving the garden

    continued life.


    PAUSE


    Moments later,

    a dragonfly flutters by,

    pausing briefly in the air

    and then on the ground,

    its stain-glass wings

    shimmering in the sunlight.


    PAUSE


    A tiny black and gold chipmunk

    pokes it head out from behind a shrub,

    and a bushy-tailed squirrel

    shakes a pine tree

    bouncing from limb to limb.


    PAUSE


    In the center of the garden,

    you notice a fountain

    carved from stone

    with two cherubs dancing

    on top.


    PAUSE


    Water tunnels out from the

    heart of one of the cherubs,

    splashing gently into the water below.

    As you draw near, you notice

    two large koi fish

    swimming in the fountain,

    Their golden scales

    slimmering in the water.


    PAUSE


    You pause, and sit on a stone bench

    near the fountain,

    so you can take in all

    the beauty of the garden.


    PAUSE


    After a while, you notice the sun

    slowly fading,

    and the azure blue sky

    turing to midnight blue.


    PAUSE


    A few fireflies light up the garden,

    and you watch their hypnotic lights

    before noticing the fluffy cloud

    has returned.


    PAUSE


    It’s time to leave the summer garden

    but you now carry its beauty with you,

    day and night.

    Every day.



    NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL

    Settle your head on the pillow,

    Pull a soft blanket right to your chin.

    Swaddle yourself as best you can,

    And let the night’s comfort begin.

    PAUSE…

    When was the last time you felt secure,

    Completely safe, warm, and content?

    It’s odd that we think we outgrow those things,

    That we no longer need what they represent.

    PAUSE…

    At our core, we’ll always be children,

    No matter what age we reach.

    Even if we become parents as well,

    We continue to learn what we teach.

    PAUSE…

    The lessons don’t always come equally,

    And some you might never learn at all.

    But others affect your very survival,

    Protecting you from a fall.

    PAUSE…

    First, you deserve to know you’re loved,

    To know you’re worth the effort.

    And even if you’re the one caring for you,

    It’s okay to tend to what hurts.

    PAUSE…

    It’s also okay to speak your mind,

    To get your struggles off your chest.

    To sleep a calm and restful sleep,

    Unencumbered by life’s distress.

    PAUSE…

    You deserve to feel like you matter.

    You deserve the chance to thrive.

    You deserve to know anything’s possible,

    And you deserve to keep hope alive.

    PAUSE…

    Perhaps you have someone to tell you these things,

    A partner, a sibling, a friend.

    But even if your life has vacancies,

    You have a life-force on which to depend.

    PAUSE…

    If you let it, your spirit will care for you,

    Reminding you what you once knew.

    Your essence is there to guide you back home,

    And to point out what will always be true.

    PAUSE…

    Your spirit is what keeps you safe,

    Planting signs along the way.

    It becomes your lifelong nurturer,

    If you listen to what it has to say.

    Take a breath and hear that voice, the quiet truth within.

    Breathe out and feel the peace it brings, let it soothe your mind to sleep.

    LONG PAUSE…

    Think about how, so long ago,

    Loving arms might have carried you to bed.

    They gently lowered you, then tucked you in,

    Pressing a sweet kiss to your head.

    PAUSE…

    Dig deep to remember that feeling,

    That perfect, carefree moment.

    Practice conjuring it up, every night,

    Pull that safe feeling back into your present.

    PAUSE…

    Think about other special acts,

    Rituals of younger days.

    The perfect pjs, a favorite story,

    Little jokes and loving displays.

    PAUSE…

    Picture the grown-up version of these,

    Both playful acts and those of self-care.

    Imagine each evening unfolding that way,

    Loving habits your young self can share.

    PAUSE…

    It’s not silly to want to end the day well,

    Not childish or selfish or strange.

    Learning to tuck yourself in for the night,

    Can only reflect positive change.

    PAUSE…

    Perhaps you’ll start to sleep like a baby.

    Maybe you’ll wake up with a smile.

    Maybe you’ll start to look forward to bedtime,

    To the chance to unplug for a while.

    PAUSE…

    By now, you know what a challenge it is,

    To live life as a full-fledged adult.

    Maybe the reason we all struggle so much,

    Is our refusal to admit we need help.

    PAUSE…

    You might not need the predictable type,

    More like a boost for the soul.

    And if childhood routines can help you find joy,

    Then they certainly have their role.

    PAUSE…

    Let your mind wander through your past,

    Allow it to slip back in time.

    For a few sweet and lovely minutes,

    Let those memories shine.

    Breathe in as you picture a littler you, capture that hopeful delight.

    Breathe out as you search for hints of that child, hold onto them once they’re in sight.

    LONG PAUSE…

    The difference you see might not be profound,

    At least not at first.

    But who knows what’s possible when you try

    To live this part of your life in reverse.

    PAUSE…
