​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.
