Hello from Katie - The Undoing of You Aug 05, 2024

Show notes

Hey, it's Katie. I'm so grateful you're here! No matter where you're listening from, I hope this moment brings you a little bit more peace. I'm so grateful you've been listening to our meditations.

I've been thinking a lot lately about how, in order to be the best versions of ourselves, we need to constantly change.

If we can agree that our number one priority in life is to know ourselves (so we may consciously create this lovely life of ours according to our own desires and rules), then can we also agree that there will be times when knowing ourselves requires us to undo ourselves?

To undo norms and habits we have that no longer are working for us.

To undo beliefs that are not in line with what we want to create.

To undo ways of being that aren’t…quite…right anymore.

“What you think you are is a belief to be undone.” ~ A Course in Miracles

Blade of Grass Aug 03, 2024

Show notes

Take a deep breath,

and relax from within.

You’re going on a journey,

with an interesting spin.

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.

You Are the Dancer of Your Life Aug 02, 2024

Show notes

Close your eyes.

Breathe.

And slow the thoughts in your head.

PAUSE

Draw into yourself,

so you’re

comfortable,

relaxed,

and at peace.

PAUSE

Now, focus on

letting any tension or stress

simply melt away,

so you’re relaxed

and calm.

PAUSE

Imagine, if you can,

seeing yourself

going about your day,

Follow yourself as you

Work,

Tend to the home,

Care for family,

And take care of

all those responsibilities

that keep things running smoothly.

It’s okay if you feel momentary stress or overwhelm.

PAUSE

Now, take a

deep, cleansing breath,

and see if you can imagine yourself

as a ballerina,

dancing gracefully on her toes.

PAUSE

As you go through your day,

you gently dance through these activities,

while gliding and moving

on your toes.

Pausing

and

pirouetting

with deliberate ease.

PAUSE

Observe how you handle

each responsibility you dance through

with

focus,

grace

and the fluidity of a ballerina.

PAUSE

Now, breathe in again,

and take a moment

to notice the serenity

that’s now part of you.

PAUSE

Everything moves and flows

like a dance,

with you as both

dancer

and choreographer.

You are in control.

PAUSE

Breathe in again slowly,

letting the richness of the breath

open you more.

Take a moment

for gratitude,

expressing appreciation

Because you are in control

of how you handle

the choices and responsibilities

in your world.

You are the choreographer and dancer

of your life.

Now and always.

Your Dance to Peace Aug 01, 2024

Show notes

Take a moment in gratitude,

a moment to just

be appreciative for all in your life.

PAUSE

Know that all in your life

has a purpose,

and moves you toward

your highest good,

where you find your greatest peace.

PAUSE

Now, breathe deeply,

and as you do,

visualize peace.

Your peace.

What does peace look like for you?

How does peace feel in your life?

PAUSE

Once you have that vision,

place yourself in it as a dancer,

any dancer you want to be.

PAUSE

Now, breathe,

and begin dancing.

dancing toward your vision of peace,

taking steps forward

to where you want to be.

PAUSE

Observe your dance.

How are your arms moving?

Your legs?

Your core?

They may move toward the peace,

and at times,

fall back some.

That’s okay.

PAUSE

When a thought or scene arises

that pulls you away

from your peace,

find a dance move

that puts you

back on the path.

Visualize yourself

dancing toward your peace again.

PAUSE

Now, imagine that you’re there,

standing right before your peace.

What dance step do you take

to enter peace?

Allow yourself to take that step.

PAUSE

Breathe and stay in your peace.

Notice how it feels,

How your body feels,

How your mind feels.

Take this new consciousness with you.

And, any time, you feel

you’re being pulled out of

your peace,

visualize the step you can take

to enter it again.

And remember:

You are in charge of your peace.

Always.

Shake Off the Anxiety Jul 31, 2024

Show notes

Center yourself,

turning your focus inward,

and allowing yourself,

to just be.

PAUSE

Notice your breathing,

as it forms a gentle rhythm,

one that’s smooth and relaxing.

PAUSE

Draw in another breath,

and let this breath

reach out

through your entire body,

opening and relaxing it.

PAUSE

Take a moment,

and connect with your body.

Check in with it.

PAUSE

Now, imagine how you feel

when carrying a heavy burden.

You might feel weighed down,

slowed down,

or maybe even stuck.

Take a minute to acknowledge

how this affects you.

PAUSE

Breathe in deeply and fully.

Now, vIsualize, if you can,

your body beginning to move slowly

through the burden,

a slow dance,

physically moving through it,

and shaking the burden.

Let the dance flow

a little more

and a little more.

PAUSE

And, as you move and shake,

see and feel the burden

lessen its hold on you.

As you dance and sway,

watch the burden fall away.

PAUSE

Pause, and breathe in again.

And when you’re ready,

connect with a fear

or some anxiety

simmering in your core.

Sit with it for a minute.

Become familiar with it.

PAUSE

Now, imagine shaking and dancing

through the anxiety,

Drawing in and using its energy

to move creatively

with great strength and direction.

PAUSE

And, as you dance away the anxiety,

feel it replaced

with peace

and grounding.

PAUSE

Take another breath,

and breathe in the peace,

Know that you have the power

to shake away that anxiety or burden,

and turn it into positive energy,

or to just let it go.

All you have to do is

dance through it.

The intention of today’s breathwork meditation is to practice using your breath to slow down, relax, and energize.

Let’s begin by getting into a comfortable position,

Sitting or lying down,

And allowing your body to melt into its position.

Bring your attention to your breath,

Taking your mind away from all those thoughts,

All those tasks,

All those emotions,

And inviting it to rest in your breath.

PAUSE…

Breathe in and out gently through your nose.

Feeling your inhale expand your belly,

And your exhale relax your body further.

Let yourself breathe in just a little longer,

And breathe out just a little more.

And just stay here for a bit, in sync with the rhythm of your breath.

PAUSE…

Relax deeper into your breath.

PAUSE…

Now I’m going to lead you through a breathwork exercise to help you increase your energy.

It will be a series of breaths, each to the count of a number.

And then we’ll repeat it three times.

Let each of these breaths fill your belly, rather than your chest, so you can get the full effects of the oxygen coming in.

Let’s begin by breathing in to the count of two...one, two.

And breathing out to the count of two...one, two.

Breathe in to the count of three...one, two, three.

Breathe out to the count of three...one, two, three.

Breathe in to the count of four...one, two, three, four.

Breathe out to the count of four...one, two, three, four.

Breathe in to the count of five...one, two, three, four, five.

Breathe out to the count of five...one, two, three, four, five.

Breathe in to the count of six...one, two, three, four, five, six.

Breathe out to the count of six...one, two, three, four, five, six.

Breathe in to the count of seven...one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

Breathe out to the count of seven...one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

And relax your breathing.

PAUSE…

Let’s begin again breathing in to the count of two...one, two.

And breathing out to the count of two...one, two.

Breathe in to the count of three...one, two, three.

Breathe out to the count of three...one, two, three.

Breathe in to the count of four...one, two, three, four.

Breathe out to the count of four...one, two, three, four.

Breathe in to the count of five...one, two, three, four, five.

Breathe out to the count of five...one, two, three, four, five.

Breathe in to the count of six...one, two, three, four, five, six.

Breathe out to the count of six...one, two, three, four, five, six.

Breathe in to the count of seven...one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

Breathe out to the count of seven...one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

And relax your breathing.

PAUSE…

The Dances of Our Emotions Jul 30, 2024

Show notes

Come inside,

centering yourself.

Turn off the outside world.

PAUSE

Allow yourself a moment

to be in the present,

becoming aware of

all that’s around you.

PAUSE

If a distracting thought

passes by, let it.

Your focus

Is on you.

PAUSE

Now, from this

calm, observant place,

imagine the emotion of Fear

as a tap dancer.

PAUSE

For a moment,

Fear is quiet.

And then, the tapping begins.

It starts slowly,

then intensifies,

becoming louder, faster

more robust.

It may even feel a bit desperate.

PAUSE

Take a moment to watch Fear dance.

What do you see from the dance?

What can you understand about

your Fear as she dances?

Take hold of this healing knowledge.

Bring it into your consciousness.

PAUSE

Now, breathe.

Let Fear fade,

and calm return to you.

PAUSE

After a moment,

you notice the emotion

of Grief rising from the ground,

like a modern lyrical dancer.

PAUSE

Grief’s moves are powerful,

and filled with pain.

Grief’s arms rise high and fall low,

and he jumps in the air in splits,

before falling to the ground

on his knees.

Grief is aware that he must keep moving

through the pain.

How can you use Grief’s dance

to understand and move through pain?

Bring this awareness into you.

PAUSE

Now, breathe.

Let Grief fade,

and calm return to you.

PAUSE

After a minute,

notice the emotion of Joy

twirling with warmth and happiness.

PAUSE

Joy moves her hips,

brings her arms up high.

Every step is filled

with beauty.

What is Joy saying to you

about your life?

Is Joy with you?

PAUSE

Take a moment,

and allow yourself to feel your Joy.

Allow yourself to integrate Joy

into your being.

PAUSE

Draw in a deep breath,

and give thanks to these emotions

and their dances.

Know they are a part of you,

and that they can be danced through

with grace, love and success.

Always.
