Let yourself become still.
Become quiet and peaceful,
gathering yourself
at your center.

PAUSE

Shift your focus 
to your breathing,
and allow a slow, deep rhythm
to evolve.

PAUSE

Now, imagine, if you can,
gliding through the cool, crisp air,
against a sapphire blue sky,
with sunlit clouds.

PAUSE

As the eagle,
you can see for miles and miles.
You see hills and mountains,
valleys and rivers,
forests and meadows.

Each is in your sightline.
And because of your magnificent wings,
you have the power to visit each.

PAUSE

As you climb higher and higher 
in the sky,
you are filled with a sense 
of clarity and purpose.
You know who you are.

Your day-to-day cares become smaller,
as your vision expands.
And from your perspective,
you are no longer limited.

Allow yourself to embrace these feelings.

PAUSE

The air beneath your wings
lifts you higher,
and as it does,
you see a future 
filled with potential–
your potential.

Take a minute and
embrace the possibilities.

PAUSE

Take a deep breath,
and let your wings
carry you safely
back to the present.

PAUSE

Now, comfortably back in the present,
let the spirit of the eagle fill you.
Touch your heart,
letting in accept and embrace
all the vision and purpose
you saw–
all the clarity you gained.

PAUSE

And, as you go about the day,
allow your inner vision and purpose 
to steer you.
Let your clarity and perspective
show you your potential.
And…
Let the eagle inside you 
guide you to your truth…
Now and always.

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL

It can feel surprisingly lonely,
To choose the path of care,
To teach and tend and give of self
Until it seems there’s nothing there.

PAUSE…

This quiet, unsung journey,
This quest to do it all,
Takes so much more than balance,
And casts our needs as small.

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…

But our strength is in our numbers,
In the alignment of our hearts,
A devoted crew of warriors,
Its core fortified by its parts.

PAUSE…

Your struggles are not secret there,
We see you, one and all,
We know the bliss and price alike,
We understand the call.

PAUSE…

Babies, partners, family, friends,
Precious beyond compare,
They need us, and they feed us,
And remind us of all we share.

PAUSE…

So lean into the compassionate web,
Where your every intention is clear,
And know that you are not alone,
That understanding hovers near.

PAUSE…

Our path is among the noblest,
To nurture is to save,
So we cherish one another,
They love a tidal wave.

PAUSE…

Breathe deeply and absorb it,
Pull the power to your core,
It never leaves and never fades,
never minds you needing more.

PAUSE…

For this is how we make it through,
How we give and find our best,
We walk the steps of those before,
And know that we are blessed.

PAUSE…

In their sacrificial kindness,
We learn to chart our way,
Spreading our love even farther,
Finding strength to face the fray.

PAUSE…

You’re not invisible, lovely one,
Instead your purpose makes you glow,
So when you feel the walls pull in,
Shine the light for those who know.

PAUSE…

We’re here for one another,
And each heart has its place,
You’re never lost and always found,
Within the sacred space.

PAUSE…

Carry on, brave caretaker,
Hold tight when worries swell,
The web stands by to catch you,
To hold you up until all is well.


Namaste, Beautiful

Take a moment to check in,
And let yourself find calm,
So, just breathe in peace,
And let the tension be gone.

PAUSE

It’s no secret that we all,
Sometimes struggle with a substance.
We try to stay away,
And yet, it feels like an injustice.

PAUSE

And sometimes that one substance,
Such as cigarettes, food, or booze,
Can overtake our lives,
And make us feel like fools.

PAUSE

So, breathe in deep,
And open up,
To the truth inside of you.
Accepting the issue
Is the first step,
To healing through and through.

PAUSE

And, as you breathe,
Remember this:
No substance has control.
It’s you who is the shepherd
Of your beautiful soul.

PAUSE

So, take a minute and forgive–
Let go of criticizing yourself.
Regardless of your addiction,
This will help restore your mental health.

For the more we beat ourselves up,
The harder it is to stop,
That addicting substance rears its head,
And keeps us on the run.

PAUSE

So, take back your power,
And give yourself a voice.
And if you decide to use the substance,
Stay strong and make it your choice.

PAUSE

And, remember now, 
You’re not a failure,
But a fragile, beautiful being,
Who is perfectly imperfect,
And knowing that,
Is truly freeing.

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL

Hey, it’s Katie and I’m here for a mid-month check in. How are you? How’s your month coming along? How’s your mental health? 

We’re well into Mental Health Awareness Month and I hope you’ve really been enjoying all the bonus and guest meditations we’ve been providing across the network. The team and I have been working hard to make sure you have a wide variety of meditations and voices to support you! 

I’m sharing honestly today about why we need to “slow down to speed up” and what that’s actually looked like for me this month (single mommying with hubs out of town, end of school extra activities and moving!). It ain’t been pretty y'all. 

But I’m sharing because we all have these heavy seasons and I’ll walk you through what worked for me to lighten the load and helped me slow down, all in the name of preserving my mental health. 

I also share a poem/meditation I wrote recently called “A Million Little Reasons” that I hope really speaks to your heart. 

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

1) Tuesday, May 21 is World Meditation Day! We’re celebrating with a special “World Meditation Day Meditation” going live on all our podcasts. Come meditate with us! 

2) FREE MASTERCLASS: On June 18 at 1pm est, I’ll be co-hosting a Live Masterclass with my friend JJ Flizanes called “The Roadmap to Emotional Healing.” You can find out more and sign up for free here: 
http://jjflizanes.com/wmn

Lastly, if you’re enjoying our meditations, we would be so grateful for your rating and reviews on Apple Podcasts! It always helps others just like you find us easily. 

Thank you so much for listening and I love you! 

Katie

Gather your thoughts,
and let them fall away,
leaving you with a
peaceful mind
and heart.

PAUSE

Breathe,
and let
your mind
stay soft
and clear.

PAUSE

Sometimes,
we feel bad about ourselves.
worse than makes sense
to our rational mind.

The feelings we have 
are intense and more 
than we can understand.

When that happens,
we’re dealing with shame.

PAUSE

So, scan your body.
and ask yourself,
Are there any parts
of my body 
that I feel ashamed of?

If the answer is “yes,”
imagine putting a little, red heart
on that body part,
and blowing it a kiss of love.

PAUSE

Now, scan your mind,
that beautiful brain of yours.
and if you come across 
any thoughts that bring shame,
put a loving heart sticker on them,
and blow them a kiss.

PAUSE

Now, take a minute,
and scan your heart
or any hurts, deep hurts.
And if you find some,
put a red, loving heart sticker
on them,
and blow them a kiss.

PAUSE

Breathe now.
Just breathe.

And imagine
Those painful thoughts
and hurts
being pulled out of you
and forming 
a dandelion–
a fluffy, white dandelion.

PAUSE

Now, blow the dandelion.
Blow away the shame.
Let it disappear into the sky.

And remember,
the antidote to shame
is love.

So, keep your 
little, red heart stickers
with you every day, always,
and heal your shame.

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL

Take a slow, filling breath,
Let it sink in deep.
And, allow yourself to focus,
letting the tension release.

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.

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
