LONG PAUSE Let your neck muscles melt into your pillow, While the rest of you Sinks deeply and comfortably into the folds of your bed LONG PAUSE As you melt into your bed, feel yourself become one with the bed, completely relaxed. LONG PAUSE Now, see if you can imagine a solo raindrop, iridescent in the sunlight, descending to the ground. PAUSE The raindrop pauses briefly, bubbling up like a crystal dome, before magically moving– rolling through the grass. PAUSE And as the raindrop rolls, It seems to be looking for something, something that is missing. PAUSE Now see if you can imagine connecting with the raindrop  as it stops at a golf course and asks the short, stiff grass, “Are you my tribe?” PAUSE The bright green blades of grass, stand firm in the soil and prepare to whisper their truth. You and the raindrop listen. PAUSE “No, we are not your tribe, but early in the morning, we wake and find you  nourishing us, and shining with us in the light of the sun. PAUSE Now, picture if you can,  the little raindrop smiling and thanking the golf grass for sharing, and the golf grass  wishing the raindrop  luck on its journey. PAUSE Now, take a minute and breathe in, and see if you can imagine the little raindrop and you rolling before a giant redwood tree. PAUSE As the raindrop approaches the majestic redwood, tall and powerful, it calls out, “Are you my tribe?” PAUSE And the redwood bends, ever so slightly  to see you and the tiny raindrop and shakes its leaves “no.” PAUSE Then the redwood speaks in a voice that  rumbles through the air. “From time-to-time, though, you come to me with many friends and bathe my roots and leaves, so, thank you.” PAUSE You and the little raindrop smile  and thank the redwood for sharing. And the redwood wishes you both  luck on your journey. PAUSE So, imagine if you can, that you and the little raindrop keep rolling until you come across a turtle. PAUSE You both approach  the turtle, with its greenish-brown shell and bits of algae on barnacles  sticking on the back. PAUSE You and the raindrop wait until the turtle slooowly turns and faces you and then you and the raindrop ask, “Are you my tribe? PAUSE The turtle pulls its head back in the shell and pauses for  many minutes before shaking its head “no”. PAUSE You and the raindrop are about to leave when the turtle calls out. “You are my life force and allow me to eat and travel the world. I will take you to your tribe.” PAUSE Joy fills you and the little raindrop and you shimmy back and forth  with excitement, before jumping on the turtle’s back. PAUSE On the turtle’s back,  you and the little raindrop lumber through the grass, passing mushrooms and ants and flowers until you came to the ocean. PAUSE “Are we here?” asks the little raindrop. The turtle bobs his head “yes” and lets you and the little raindrop  slide off his back  before he walks into the ocean. PAUSE You and the little raindrop stand together watching as the waves splash onto the sand and then roll back into the ocean. PAUSE “Are you my tribe?” asks the raindrop. Then, a single wave  rises above you both, magically pausing in the air. “Yes, sisters, we are.” PAUSE You and the little raindrop  study the wave and began to roll closer to her. PAUSE The wave appears again, and you and the little raindrop thank her. “We’ve traveled a long time  to find our tribe.” PAUSE  💗💗💗 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 Learn more about your ad choices.
