Panic Attack Meditation

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!

LONG PAUSE… My mind wants to scream,  That no one really gets,  The mountains I carry around.  My heart wants to cry, And give it all up, Walk away without a sound.  PAUSE… But instead, here I am, Trying to find peace, Believing the chaos will fade. I have to be willing, To sit in the fire, Without feeling dismayed.  PAUSE… So breathe with me now,  Slower and slower,  Let your breath calm you down.  Feel your mind ease,  From all of that stress, Feel yourself melt in the ground.  LONG PAUSE… Layer after layer, Slowly peels away, Releasing the mountains of pain.  Layer after layer, Slowly reveals,  The vulnerable me that remains.  PAUSE… Right here in this space, Naked and raw, I see what I need the most. And just then I feel, The arms of the Divine, Hug me like a beautiful ghost.  LONG PAUSE… She whispers her words, So I can feel loved, There’s comfort that she’s here to bring.  When you’re falling apart,  I’m right here with you, I’ll gather up everything.  PAUSE… I let myself cry,  I let myself go, I release it all out with each tear. The more that I free, Everything inside,  The more I feel light and clear.  LONG PAUSE… So breathe with me now,  Slower and slower,  Let healing cover you whole.  Feel your mind clear,  And dissolve what is left, The Universe is protecting your soul.  Namaste, Beautiful 💗💗💗 Check out all the deals from our incredible sponsors here! --> https://womensmeditationnetwork.com/sponsors 💗💗💗 Check out all of our other podcasts at https://womensmeditationnetwork.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

PAUSE… All the motivation, Can’t help you right now. All the inspirations, Are useless little vows.  PAUSE… So slow down now, And honor this season of pain. There’s something to learn, Deep wisdom to gain.  You’re burnt out because, You ran way too fast.  You tried to hold it all, You did everything that was asked.  PAUSE… You’re fried because you let, Others’ goals become yours.  You listened to the voice, That said you’d endure.  PAUSE… Breathe in forgiveness, Breathe in waves of peace. You thought that your worth, Accomplishments would increase.  PAUSE… Slow down and come in, To the voice that is true, The one who knows, That it’s time to renew.  PAUSE… Breathe and relax,  Let the air fill you now.

Our fingers squeeze around them, And our hold locks into place.  PAUSE… Our vision hones in on what’s within our grip, And suddenly everything else is invisible. PAUSE… We wait and we watch, Counting the moments as we stare, Completely oblivious to anything else around us. PAUSE… What we don’t realize, Is that we’re suffocating our desires,  The tighter we hold. And we become blind to the manifestations of our dreams, That aren’t born inside of our fists. PAUSE… So dream, sweet one, Visualize and hope, And take action every single day. But peel back those fingers,  And loosen that grip. Widen your gaze, And detach from the outcome. So creativity can flow, And you can breathe. Breathe now, Pulling the air in deep into you, As it fills you up. And then release, As you exhale all that air out.  PAUSE… One more deep breath in, Expanding your belly and chest to their max, Gathering up those details, Thoughts, And worries, And then releasing them all, As you breathe out. PAUSE… Now, bring your breathing to a soft, easy rhythm, And be here for a bit. One with the movement of your body, One with the openness of your mind. LONG PAUSE… Holding on tightly to the outcome we want, Will not ensure we get it.  But it will steal our attention, Intensify our emotions, And cause our minds to obsess. PAUSE… So imagine your hand opening gently, On the outcomes it desperately holds. Imagine your fingers slowly peeling back. PAUSE… Watch those petals of desires,  Unfurl and expand, Free from the pressure, Free to breathe. PAUSE… Breathe here with them, And find a gentle rhythm that nourishes. PAUSE… Feel the soft breeze kiss your face, And dance with the colorful petals in your open hand. PAUSE… Slowly and beautifully, The petals ride the waves of the breeze, As they float away in all directions,  Free to land where they’re meant to be.  LONG PAUSE… And here you are, Light and peaceful, Relaxed and calm. Surrendered to the magic of the petals, That will dance and spin, Until they’re ready to land.

The answers. The peace. The why. PAUSE… But the mind is loud, And fills your head with noise. Fills your body with stress. None of it is needed.   Everything you need is inside of you. PAUSE… So find the quiet, And touch the pools of calm water inside. Breathe… And come inside.  Riding the waves of your breath, In… And out. PAUSE… Let it pull you away from the thoughts, As the emotions dissolve into the background.  As you come here, And just breathe. LONG PAUSE… Listen for it, The soothing songs of the quiet, That open up space, Release the pressure, And let you float. LONG PAUSE… Listen for it, The voice that is heard by your heart, Not your ears. The sounds of love, That saturate your soul. It’s all here, Waiting for you. PAUSE… So find the quiet inside, And touch the stardust. PAUSE… The water is still here. And all is made clear.  Namaste, Beautiful 💗💗💗 Check out all the deals from our incredible sponsors here! --> https://womensmeditationnetwork.com/sponsors 💗💗💗 Check out all of our other podcasts at https://womensmeditationnetwork.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Just a few clicks makes it easy for you to listen on your favorite podcast player.  Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium As the days pass by, As life goes up and down. The emotions build up, And all the thoughts abound. PAUSE… Sometimes we forget, To express what’s swirling inside, And soon we can find ourselves, Needing a cathartic cry. LONG PAUSE… We don’t always know why, We don’t always know when, It feels like out of the blue, Tears release from their pen.  PAUSE… Let them fall, Let them flow, Open your heart, And let them go.  LONG PAUSE… Maybe you’ve been holding, So much on your shoulders. The millions of responsibilities, Can feel like giant boulders.  PAUSE… Maybe you’ve been moving, And running through the day. You haven’t made time to be still, With everything that’s come your way. PAUSE… Perhaps a moment triggers, A memory from your past. Pain comes rushing through, The emotions come real fast.  PAUSE… Let them fall, Let them flow, Open your heart, And let them go.  LONG PAUSE… A cathartic cry will feel, Like you’ve released so much weight. It cleanses and refreshes, And always feels so great.  PAUSE… There’s no shame in the tears, There’s nothing you need to explain. There may not be any meaning, It’s simply a release for your brain. PAUSE… So take a big, deep breath, And examine what’s inside. Perhaps there’s some tension, Some feelings you’ve tried to hide.  PAUSE… Allow yourself to gather, All that’s heavy and gray. And when you exhale, let go, Let it all float away. PAUSE… Let them fall, Let them flow, Open your heart, And let them go.  LONG PAUSE… Sweet Dreams, Beautiful. 💗💗💗 Check out all the deals from our incredible sponsors here! --> https://womensmeditationnetwork.com/sponsors 💗💗💗 Check out all of our other podcasts at https://womensmeditationnetwork.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

For awhile it’s been hunting,  Preying on your fright.  PAUSE… Perhaps you haven’t known, The meaning of these clouds. Perhaps they’ve just left you, Feeling heavy, sad, and down.  PAUSE… But if you breath deep, And take some time to see, With loving eyes you may just, See what’s here clearly.  PAUSE… The magic of this vision, Of seeing what is here, The clouds of darkness lift, And release all the fear.  LONG PAUSE… So come into your body,  Feeling every move. Gently slow it down, And find a tender groove. PAUSE… See if you can find, Gratitude for the way, Your breath gives you life, And awakened you today. PAUSE… Breathe slowly, And relax. Breathe fully, And release.  Breathe calmly, And lay back, The darkness will cease. LONG PAUSE… Open up your heart, And open up your mind. Give yourself the chance, To unpack what’s behind.  PAUSE… These clouds of darkness play, And fog your inner light. But they’re just here to nudge you, To look at what’s not right.  PAUSE… So search yourself for moments, That might have triggered fear, To come inside your head, And spread its darkness here. PAUSE… And as you find these things, That caused this cloud to build. Imagine so much love, Expanding till you’re filled.  LONG PAUSE… As you feel the darkened clouds, Dissolve and thin and lift. Notice that your spirit, Can feel a major shift.  PAUSE… More air, more light, More openness and love. Let all that darkness go, And know you are beloved. LONG PAUSE… Sweet Dreams, Beautiful. 💗💗💗 Check out all the deals from our incredible sponsors here! --> https://womensmeditationnetwork.com/sponsors 💗💗💗 Check out all of our other podcasts at https://womensmeditationnetwork.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
