Far below the surface of the sea, in the deepest, darkest parts of the ocean, the whales were preparing for their nightly ritual. As the last rays of sunlight disappeared into the murky blue waters above, the giant creatures began to stir.

The oldest and wisest whale was named Taleen. Her smooth, gray body glided effortlessly through the water as she made her way toward the gathering area. She sang out in long, low tones to call the other whales to her. One by one, the giant mammals emerged from the shadows—humpbacks and blues, fins and rights—their haunting whale songs echoing through the darkness.

When all the whales had arrived, Taleen raised her massive tail fluke, signaling the start of their nightly ritual. As one, the pod opened their mouths and began to vocalize—first low rumbles, then high-pitched cries, then a chorus of clicks, whistles, trills and pulses. Each whale added their unique voice to the strange and beautiful whale song.

The purpose of the song was not understood by human scientists, who marveled at the intricate and ever-changing music that rippled across the world's oceans each night. But the whales knew. They sang to share news, to bond with their pod-mates, to navigate the lightless ocean depths. Their songs told stories—tales of good feeding grounds, warnings of encroaching ships, lullabies for sleeping calves...

With just a single breath…
You can touch the space,
That pulses with magic inside. 

With just a single breath…
You can connect to,
All the Universe provides. 

LONG PAUSE

So let yourself fall,
Into the stream, 
The movement of breath in and out. 

Let yourself go,
And trust in the flow,
That weaves its way throughout. 

LONG PAUSE

Now see if you find,
What floats in your mind,
All those thoughts can release. 

Let them enter the stream,
Of your breath exiting,
And feel your inhale bring peace. 

LONG PAUSE

Each part of your body,
Relaxes and melts,
The tension has faded away.

What’s holding you up,
Is soft, yet firm,
Allowing you to be here today.

LONG PAUSE

Let gratitude fill,
Each inhale right now,
As time stands still for you.

You realize that now,
This moment right here,
Is all that exists and is true. 

LONG PAUSE

You’re filled with a wave,
Of freshness and love,
You see all the beauty around.

You see all the magic,
The energies collide,
You see that your life is profound. 

LONG PAUSE

So breathe in again,
And this time, smile wide,
Let all that’s been heavy dissolve.

You get to choose,
How you’ll live this day,
So choose to love and evolve. 

PAUSE

With just a single breath…
You can touch the space,
That pulses with magic inside. 

With just a single breath…
You can connect to,
All the Universe provides. 


Namaste, Beautiful

Charlene the dreamweaver floated softly through the starry night sky, her gossamer wings glimmering in the moonlight. As she surveyed the sleeping world below, she wondered who needed sweet dreams tonight.

Gliding over the rolling hills, Charlene spotted a small cottage nestled in a grove of trees. She peered in the window and saw a young boy fast asleep, though he was frowning and restless.

"He must be having a nightmare," thought Charlene. "I'll weave him a lovely dream."

Charlene sprinkled silvery dream dust through the open window. Suddenly the boy's frown lifted into a smile. He dreamed he was flying a kite in a sunny meadow, the colorful tail streaming behind him. Charlene smiled and drifted on.

Over the village she went, sprinkling dream dust on all the sleeping townsfolk. Soon everyone was smiling and sighing happily in their sleep. Even the dogs and cats dreamed they were chasing butterflies and napping in sunny patches.

As Charlene floated over the forest, she heard a faint roar. In a small clearing, she saw a mother bear and her two cubs curled up in their den, shivering. A cold wind was blowing outside...

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:

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

Misty was a tiny star who lived in the vast night sky. She twinkled brightly amongst her fellow stars, glowing with a soft, silvery light. Though small, Misty's shine could be seen for miles across the sleepy countryside below.

Each night, as the sun slipped below the horizon, Misty would begin to twinkle. She loved watching the world slowly drift off to sleep. The first to fall asleep were always the little farm animals in the fields and barns. The cows, horses, sheep, and chickens would snuggle into their beds of hay, tuck their heads down, and let out big, sleepy sighs. Misty would blink her light gently over them like a nightlight, singing a soft twinkling lullaby.

Next to fall under Misty's sleepy spell were the wild creatures of the forest and meadows. Owls would stop their hooting, bears would lumber back to their dens, rabbits would hop slowly to their burrows, and deer would nestle down in the soft forest underbrush. Misty's twinkling glow and melodic lullaby would soothe them all into slumber.

Finally, the families living in the little farm houses dotted across the land would start to settle in for the night. Parents would tuck their children snugly into bed, place sweet kisses on their little foreheads, and tip-toe from the rooms. Then Misty would beam her gentlest, warmest light over the farmhouses, twinkling in time with her lullaby. She wouldn't stop her song until the last light in the last little farmhouse was switched off for the night...

The air was crisp and cool as I stepped off the plane into the Himalayas. I took a deep breath, filling my lungs with the fresh mountain air. I had come to the highest peaks on earth seeking inner peace and a respite from the hectic pace of modern life. This journey represented a new chapter, an opportunity to slow down and reconnect with nature.

I made my way to the small village where I would be staying for the next few weeks. The village sat nestled between rolling green foothills, with snow-capped peaks rising majestically in the distance. The pace of life here was wonderfully slow - no crowded streets, no traffic jams, no constant bombardment of advertisements and media. Just the soothing sounds of nature and the kind smiles of the villagers.

After settling into my lodgings, a cozy room in a family-run homestay, I ventured out to explore the village and its surroundings. I wandered dirt paths between modest stone and brick dwellings. Chickens clucked and scratched in the yards, small goats bleated as they wandered in and out of open barn doors. In a small courtyard, an elderly woman smiled kindly at me as she spun wool into yarn with an ancient hand-carded spinning wheel. The days here followed the rhythms of nature and seasons, not the artificial cycles imposed by factories and corporations. I could feel my racing mind begin to quiet just from these first few hours surrounded by the peaceful village...
