Meditation for Women

The intention of today’s meditation is to give you a quick break from the chaos of life around you.   Sometimes that chaos looks like fast movement that is heavy and stressful.   And sometimes that chaos looks like lots of noise and laughter and music and conversations.  No matter what your chaos looks like today, this meditation will give you a chance to tune it all out, relax and come home to yo...

The intention of today’s meditation is to help you connect with and heal your inner child.   The little girl who might still be holding onto pain and hurt.   The little girl who will help you remember what love and joy truly feel like.  The little girl who wants nothing more than to be loved unconditionally.   Honoring her, connecting with her and healing her will invite more peace into your life....

The intention of today’s meditation is to give you relief from your chronic pain.  The pain you know so well.

What isn’t serving you right now? Where in your life are you feeling a sense of overwhelm? Stress? Discontent? These can be indicators that something isn’t working.  That you are out of flow. What’s there?  What’s no longer serving you and your highest good? Perhaps it’s a responsibility or job you’re committed to. Or a habit deeply ingrained in your routine. Or a relationship that is no longer fu...

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. *** If you enjoy the meditations here, I invite you to b...

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 s...

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 mad...

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 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. Who have supported you. Guided you. Mentored you. Inspired you. Challenged you. Changed you. So the intention of today’...

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. *** If you enjoy the meditations here, I invite you to become a par...

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. Or ma...

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...

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. *** If you enjoy the meditations here, I invite you t...

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. *** If you enjoy the me...

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...

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. *** If you enjoy...

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...

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. *** If you enjoy the...

You deserve to be here. You deserve to be exactly who you are. Doing what you’re doing. Teach what you’re teaching. Share what you’re sharing.  Say what you’re saying. You deserve to have what you have.  You deserve to be on this journey and living vibrantly… As the perfectly imperfect you that you are.  You are not an imposter. You are simply a gorgeous woman on her path...trying to figure it out...

The intention of today’s meditation is to remind you that nothing can destroy your true spirit.  That you are more powerful than even the harshest of circumstances that might burn you into ashes.  That there is beauty in your vulnerable fall...because it enables you to be reborn even stronger, wiser and even more luminous than ever before. *** If you enjoy the meditations here, I invite you to bec...

Your mind is spinning with possible solutions Your heart is heavy as you think about the work, the time and possibly the sacrifices you foresee making in order to even everything out. All those thoughts compete with the voices in...

While practicing meditation gives you the space to be with yourself, to get to know yourself better, to be quiet and still and to listen to what your inner wisdom is saying to you… It is also okay to come to your practice with an agenda sometimes...with things you want to receive, feelings you want to express or attitudes you want to embrace. Over the years, I’ve developed a practice of writing mo...
