    Where The Wind Blows

    Meditation Welcome to our Where the Wind Blows meditation. Begin by taking a deep breath in through your nose and slowly exhale out through your mouth. Take another deep breath in and slowly exhale out. One more deep breath in and slowly exhale out. Imagine you are standing on a quiet ocean beach. The air is fresh, you feel the cool wind on your skin Above you, seagulls fly effortlessly over the shoreline. They do not rush They do not strain to fly They simply lean into the wind and allow it to carry them. There is no weight on their shoulders There is no questioning or second-guessing They are secure in their truth That no matter how difficult the path Our feathered friends gently spread their beautiful wings and take flight. And you… you are allowed to do the same. Just like them, you do not have to have everything figured out in this moment. You only need to breathe And now, gently, the scene begins to shift. The wide ocean fades into something familiar.The sounds of wind and waves soften Perhaps now you are in your own backyard. You watch and listen quietly as various birds stay in trust Some pause.Some watch.You feel only peace in this still moment The same wind that carried the seagulls across the open skymoves here too. It moves through the trees.It moves through the feathers.It moves through you. You do not have to know where it is taking you.You only need to trust that you are held in its current. And when you feel you can spread your wingsyou are allowed to fly. Whenever you need a moment of calm, you can return carrying with you the quiet strength of where the wind blows. ~ Beth Cruz Time For Notes * Check out the new: Sick of this Shop! * Check out the new network and affiliate calendar: BroadBanner Learn new skills: * B.

  2. Island Meditation

    Island Meditation

    Meditation Welcome to our Island Meditation. Begin by taking a deep breath in through your nose and slowly exhale out through your mouth. Take another deep breath in through your nose and slowly exhale out. One more deep breath in and slowly exhale out. Imagine you are on the beautiful island of Barbados. The waters of the Caribbean are almost a neon shade of turquoise. You slip off your shoes and walk barefoot in the warm sand, each step further grounding you in the present. As the waves come to shore, you walk in the sand allowing the warm water to wash over your feet. You take in the beautiful shells and life around you. While on the island, let’s take a walk through the Barbados Wildlife Reserve in St. Peter. Although the red-footed tortoise is non-native to the island, these beautiful creatures with their bright orange, red and yellow colors flourish in the reserveliving up to 70 years, are certain to bring calm. They understand there is no need to hurry. The Macaws living inside the reserve are striking with vivid yellow, teal and green colors. Also non-native, they can grow as large as 30 -40” long and have a wingspan of up to 4 feet. They are large in comparison to the other parrots and parakeets. Roaming freely on the island, is the Green Monkey, which is also a non-native species. The monkeys do not look green but rather an illusion of yellow as the color of their fur is a mix ofyellow flecks and brownish-grey and olive fur. They know as acting cheeky and mischievous, stealing fruit from farms and glasses from visitors. Follow the path before you, staying present and taking in all the beauty around you. The palm trees offer shade from the sun. Feel the culture of island, the vibrational hum and rhythm that leaves every worry behind. Relax your body and allow the Caribbean sunset to dissolve any remaining stress, worry or fear that you have today. Let the tide gently take it away. You are at peace and energized on your island adventure. You may return to this island at any time you need a staycation moment. ~ Beth Cruz, Soso's World Time For Notes * Check out the new Sick of this Shop! * Check out Banner & Backbone Media’s new BroadBanner network and affiliate calendar — including all Sick of this Shit Publications branded shows!

    Seaside Snorkel

    Welcome to our Seaside Snorkel meditation. Begin by taking a deep breath in through your nose and slowly exhale out through your mouth. Take another deep breath in through your nose and slowly exhale out. One more deep breath in and slowly exhale out. Imagine that you are underwater snorkeling alongside vibrant reefs. Tropical fish of all colors are moving gently with you, guiding your calm. You are gliding effortlessly in this serene environment feeling calm and protected. The water is warm and comforting. There is no stress here, no deadline, only peace and tranquility. Your weight is supported by the water around you. You are safe. Notice that the fish and other marine life move without effort or urgency. Feel your body relax as you join them in this moment. If there is any stress or tension in your body, allow the water to take it away. If any negative thoughts enter, let them drift past. Allow the water to wash them away. Give yourself permission to let them go. Notice your breath. It is slow and rhythmic. With each exhale, you feel more relaxed and calmer. Your muscles soften with the release. As you move through your day and week, remember that you can always return to this beautiful, peaceful state at any time you need a moment of calm or stillness. It is so important to take care of you. ~Beth Cruz, Soso's World Time For Notes * Check out the new Sick of this Shit Publications Merch Shop! * Check out Banner & Backbone Media’s new BroadBanner network and affiliate calendar — including all Sick of this Shit Publications branded shows!

    Alaskan Cruz

    Welcome to our Alaskan Cruz virtual meditation. Join me by taking a deep breath in through your nose and slowly exhale out through your mouth. Take another deep breath in and slowly exhale out. One more deep breath in and slowly exhale out. Take a moment to relax your body and mind as your cruise through this journey. Continue to breathe slowly and rhythmically, like waves on the ocean. With each breath, you feel more relaxed. If any muscles feel tense, allow them to relax. It is ok to be present and embrace this moment of calm. Inhale the beauty and peace and exhale all that not does not serve you. Scan your neck and shoulders. Become aware of your body. Whatever heavy weight you may be carrying, let it go. Release it. Feel it all falling away. Feel the tension and stress leave your shoulders, your arms, your fingers. Allow your chest and your core to relax followed by your legs and feet. You are safe in this moment. It is ok just to breathe and be. At any time during your day or week that you feel overwhelmed or anxious. Return to this moment of gentle release. Remember to take care of you. ~Beth Cruz Time For Notes * Check out the new Sick of this Shit Publications Merch Shop! * Check out Banner & Backbone Media’s new BroadBanner network and affiliate calendar — including all Sick of this Shit Publications branded shows!
