Gratitude.   It’s more than counting your blessings.  More than a tool to shift your mood from dark to light.  More than a way to help anchor yourself into the beauty of the present moment.  It is the doorway for living a life you truly love.  A life that is designed by you...for you...so you may live vibrantly in joy..in bliss...in harmony.

The definition of GLOW is to “give out steady light.”  And it’s your natural state.   But sometimes, you can wake up feeling off, or stressed or just heavy with the responsibilities of life. And it can cover your light. But you are meant to shine!   You are meant to glow! So the intention of today’s meditation is to give you a morning meditation practice that you can use daily that will help you start your day by getting in touch with your natural glow. 

Oh the ease with which we can forgive others in our lives… “It’s okay, girl,” we say, “don’t worry about it,” “move on.” And we genuinely mean it.  We hope our words release them from their self-inflicted pain of regrets, mistakes or disappointments.  But what about you, my love?  You deserve to forgive yourself too.   Forgive yourself for regrets you may have. Forgive yourself for mistakes you’ve made. 

They’re causing you pain. Discomfort. Discontent. Even anger.  Your expectations.   Or rather...the difference between what you expect, and what actually is.  And while, on the surface, having expectations of others are good, there is ultimately more freedom and more peace found when we let go of these expectations, and instead, show up with presence to what actually is and who they actually are.

They say it takes takes a village.  To raise a family.  To be connected.   To discover ourselves.  To accomplish things that are important to us.   You are not walking through this life alone. You have had - and currently have - a village of women who have shown you love throughout your life.

The intention of today’s meditation is to infuse you with love and energy at any time you need it throughout the day.

You are a goddess! A gorgeous, divine being. Full of love and light.  And yet sometimes you forget.  You get so caught up in the everyday-ness of life that you detach from the goddess within you and weigh yourself down by the details of being human.  But your goddess is here.  Living inside of you. In harmony with your human-ness.  

The intention of today’s meditation is to let you know that you are safe.  To help you feel protected and untouchable. This meditation is especially helpful if you’ve experienced traumatic events in your past whose ghosts still visit you, even though you are physically free from them. Or perhaps you are doubtful about expressing your authentic self because you fear what others will do or say.

When you take the time to think about how many details are required to work perfectly in order for your body to function - for your lungs to allow you to breathe, for your muscles allowing you to move, for your digestive system allowing you to eat food - you realize that your body is truly a miracle. If you’ve ever had pain, or an injury or even been sick...you’ve been reminded of how important it is to listen to your body and take care of her. 

There is so much good in your life right now.  And yet it’s so easy to be blind to it.  To let the stressful moments, the discontent, or the things you’re wanting to change overshadow all the good.  So the intention of today’s meditation is to give you a simple way to identify and honor all the amazing blessings you have in your life right now. 

The intention of today’s meditation is to help you be truly alive in this present moment.   To appreciate exactly where you are and exactly what you have in your life...right now, just as it is.  Just as you are.   It’s so easy to get caught up in the future.   In your goals, your desires and your visions of life that will happen when you achieve this or when you have that.  

The intention of today’s meditation is to help you lessen and even eliminate your headache.  Maybe the light buzz of pain has been living in your head for some time.  Or perhaps you’re painfully sitting with a migraine and unable to function.  No matter where you are on the pain scale at this moment...be comforted by this truth: Your breath is powerful. And when you harness it and direct your mind through visualization, pain can be released from your body. 

It’s time to chill, mama.  To pause.  To take a deep breath and recenter yourself.  Because you’re mommying hard and right now... It’s too much.  Maybe you found yourself yelling at those around you Perhaps you’ve said unkind words to yourself or others Maybe you just feel completely undone after taking on yet another parenting responsibility.  Whatever it is, you need a time out. 

You’ve been told you’re “too much.” Too loud. Too smart Too talkative.  Too pushy Too dramatic Too complex Too serious Too demanding Too pretty Too ugly They’ve said it in your face. And they’ve said it silently.  Or maybe you’ve heard your own internal voice speaking these words.  Because of this, maybe you’ve kept yourself small at times.  Kept quiet when you wanted to speak.  Shrunk your personality so you didn’t bring too much attention

Magic is defined as “the power of influencing the course of events by using mysterious or supernatural forces.” And you have an abundance of it, beautiful. There is no one else just like you in the universe… And the magic you have inside of you is so powerful...not only as you create your own life, but as it touches the lives of others.   It’s your own special blend of magic.
