PAUSE On the other side, you notice  several young goats, prancing about and bleating like children on a playground. PAUSE As you walk, a red barn  and bright silver silo catch your eye. Not far from the barn is a white house with a long porch that wraps around the house. A rocking chair moves ever-so-slightly in the breeze. PAUSE A farmer in overalls pushes open the door from the house and emerges. She waves to you, and you return  the wave with a smile. PAUSE As you continue  on your walk, imagine coming to a point where the dirt road ends. A beautiful meadow teeming with colorful wildflowers unfolds before you. PAUSE You draw in another long, deep breath and gaze at  the beauty before you. A feeling of immense gratitude rises within you, and you realize how easy it is  to miss the simple beauty of life.

PAUSE The waves gently roll in, sounding a rhythm that matches the beat of your heart. The peace of nature surrounds you. The peace of nature is in you. PAUSE As you walk, you notice a little crab, scurrying from its hole to the tide  in search of food. Any little movement causes the jittery  crab to skirt back and forth. PAUSE As you watch the creature, you realize how often in life you bounce from thing-to-thing, losing sight of your purpose from distraction or fear. PAUSE Moments later, a pelican catches your eye. The bird glides just above the water, pausing occasionally to scoop up a fish, and then to glide away again. You marvel at the ease with which the pelican moves toward its purpose. PAUSE You take a deep breath, turn toward the sun, and lift your arms to the sky with purpose.

PAUSE And as the drum beats, you observe colors escaping and dancing before you and all around you, Altogether. PAUSE Your soul drum holds rainbows  that light up from within, and mountains that  keep you strong and steady. PAUSE Your soul drum holds the colors of the desert that swirl like sand  all around you, all in you.  PAUSE Your soul drum holds the colors of the ocean,  Blues and greens that  flow by you and in you in rhythmic waves. PAUSE And after a moment, the drumbeat quickens,  ever so slightly, with more colors playing before you,  and playing in you. PAUSE All the colors of life live and breathe in your soul drum…. In you. PAUSE Imagine now that the colors take shape, and that those shapes become people, people dancing to the drum. PAUSE And those people have colors, dancing to the beat, dancing to your soul drum. PAUSE And as the dance goes on, you notice more drums  join in, building energy within you. PAUSE Now imagine, the drums are accompanied by singing in all different languages and shouts of joy. PAUSE And as the drums play, and the people dance and shout for joy, you notice the energy  lifting and awakening you. PAUSE And again,  you draw in a deep breath, while the drums keep playing  and the people keep dancing and the joyful energy moves through you. PAUSE Now, imagine  that the dancers slowly dissolve And the extra drummers fade until you hear just your soul drum again. PAUSE Allow yourself to  draw in a deep breath, and notice that the drumbeat  slowly melts into a hum again. PAUSE And as you listen to the hum, it begins to soften to blur and to slowly evaporate within. PAUSE And as the noises dissolve in you you notice a gift they leave. You feel their energy and life flowing through you. PAUSE Now imagine all the energy  of your soul drum, including all of Mother Nature and all the world’s people, dancing with life within you. PAUSE And as you embrace this energy, see yourself gently opening your eyes and greeting the day  with joy and a smile.

PAUSE Breathe. Let each breath deepen your awareness. Let each breath awaken your consciousness. PAUSE Now, pause for a moment, and see if you can imagine sitting on a pier. The sun is shining. You can feel its warmth on your cheeks. A gentle breeze  tussles your hair. And little waves lap against the  pillars of the pier. PAUSE Now, draw in a deep breath, and imagine seeing a fisherman near you. You sit quietly and observe the fisherman. PAUSE As you watch him, the first thing you notice is his silence. He sits serenely, with an abundance of patience, just waiting for a tug on his line. There is peace  in and around him. PAUSE You draw in a breath, and let the peace you see in the fisherman settle in you. PAUSE Then, you notice his gaze. It’s far off and meditative. Like there’s something well beyond his fishing line. You look toward the horizon where the sun and water meet. A calm comes over you. PAUSE After a moment, the fisherman rises. He winds the reel smoothly. It clicks continuously– The only noise in the air– until the line is completely in. Then he hooks on the rod  and packs up. Then softly, gingerly, he leaves the dock. PAUSE Now, take a deep breath, and bring your consciousness back to the present, And, as you do,  bring the tranquility of the fisherman with you. PAUSE Hold onto the peace you feel. Keep it with you  throughout your day. And know that if it begins to slip, just breathe, and go back to the dock, next to the fisherman. And the beautiful peace will return to you.

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 Close your eyes, and breathe into yourself. Allow any tension to  just melt away. PAUSE And, as you breathe, see if you can visualize standing out in the rain– a summer rain shower. Let yourself feel the raindrops as they touch your skin. PAUSE And while standing in the rain,  you notice that it gets  harder and loud for a minute. Just let yourself feel it. PAUSE After a moment,  you notice that the rain softens. It barely makes a sound, and just tickles your skin. PAUSE Now, take a deep breath, and imagine  there’s a little wind with the rain, that tilts the rain sideways. You can feel it like tiny pinches to your face. PAUSE Now, take a breath, and as you do, notice the rain softens again. This time, it softens and the sun begins shining through the raindrops. Take a moment and feel the rain and the sun on your face. PAUSE And while feeling The rain and the sun, You notice in the distance A rainbow arching across the sky. Open your heart, and feel the beauty and joy of the rainbow in you. PAUSE Now, breathe again, and find yourself back inside, dry and comfortable and looking out at the rain. PAUSE As you gaze at the rain, allow yourself to ponder how the rain has many facets, just like you. And no matter what type of rain falls, or what facet you are showing the world, there is a purpose. A purpose that guides you like a compass. A purpose that gives you strength. A purpose that you hold near and dear… for always.
