166. Breathe 

Words & Music by Batya Levine

 

Breathe, breathe, breathe in

Breathe, breathe out

 

Let it go, let it go, let it go

Let it go, let it go

 

Trust in what's coming

Trust in your knowing

It's deeper and wider and holy

 

180. Pearl in the Dark

Words & Music by Sarina Partridge

 

Part 1:

I'm gonna dive deep, a little deeper

Into the grit and the mud and the muck

that I don't wanna see

'Cause I think there's a seed,

there's a teacher

There's a pearl in the dark shining!

 

Part 2:

I will lean into this darkness, this darkness

A seed is shining,

there's a pearl in the dark shining!

 

Part 3:

Ooooh, shining like a pearl

Ooooh, new leaves unfurl

Ooooh, a new way is possible -

there's a pearl in the dark shining!

 

52. Ocean Wide

Words & Music by Eli Marienthal

 

Open the ocean wide in us, 

open the ocean wide.

Take all the pain inside of us, 

take all the pain inside.

 

Open the ocean wide in us, oh, 

open the ocean wide.

​Take all the pain inside of us, 

take all the pain inside.

 

126. Meditation

Words & Music by Neal Jolly

 

The beat of the heart in the chest,

The pulsing of blood in the hands,

The in and the out of the breath,

The here, the now, the you.

 

21. Song Deep in Your Bones

Words & Music by Elise Witt

 

When you're feeling dry, there's water in the well. (4x)

​

No rain from the sky, just a tear in your eye,

all alone, far from home, you roam.

Feeling tired, uninspired, like you're drifting away

from your heart and the part you play.

 

136. Breathe Deep

Words & Music by Sara Stutz

 

All you need is a quiet moment.

All you need is a quiet moment.

All you need is a quiet moment,

go inside. Go inside.

 

Breathe deep, breathe deep.

Breathe deep, everything's alright.
