Guided Meditation for Finding Peace During the Holiday Season No matter what is going on with you and your life during this holiday season or any other time when life feels a bit more stressful or demanding than usual,
I invite you to this meditation with the intention of finding inner peace.
It is my hope that this meditation helps you to find and settle into the peace within you.
Please make yourself comfortable in your own way and gently close your eyes.
Start by taking a deep,
Nourishing breath in,
Moving at your own pace and exhaling as slowly as you can.
This breath serves as your anchor,
Grounding you in this present moment,
Allowing you to return to your natural pace.
Breathe slowly and mindfully,
Savoring each inhalation as you release and relax your entire body.
With each breath,
You relax your muscles and tendons,
And with each breath,
You move ever more deeply into the cells,
The organs,
And the systems of your body.
Completely relaxed.
Now turn your awareness to the energy center residing in your heart,
Nestled in the center of your chest.
Imagine the radiant light of the sun shining brightly within this space.
You may even sense its warmth.
Visualize this light as a brilliant,
Pristine white light,
As powerful and warm as the sun itself.
Sense the strength emanating from this heart space,
A gentle yet unwavering power.
Within this heart space,
Feel a deep longing and resolve to embrace love and peace,
Not only during the holidays,
But throughout every day at this time of your life.
Let there be a commitment within you to acknowledge that inner peace is always possible,
Always within reach,
Regardless of what is happening around you.
Now imagine that you are writing in your own handwriting the words,
I am peace,
Within your heart at this very moment.
I am peace.
See these words etched into your heart,
And allow your entire being to resonate with this phrase.
I am peace.
I am peace.
It's as if the identity you once thought to find you has completely dissolved,
Vanished,
Leaving behind nothing but peace,
A simple and pure state of being,
Just for now.
Nothing.
Now notice that this aspect of yourself,
This embodiment of peace,
Holds nothing but positivity toward everything and everyone in your life.
It calmly and gently accepts whatever unfolds,
Showing no concern for outcomes,
But instead knowing,
Trusting,
That it can remain in the present moment with peace,
Regardless of the external circumstances.
It can remain present and at peace in this moment.
Now within your heart affirm,
I choose peace today.
I choose peace today.
I choose peace today.
If it resonates with you,
Gently place one or both hands on your heart,
And express gratitude to yourself.
Feel thankful for your presence,
For your willingness to shift your perspective,
And for your conscious decision to embrace peace.
Just sit in this peace now,
Holding love and peace in your heart and in your awareness,
For just a few moments of silence.
I am peace.
When you are ready,
Carrying these feelings of tranquility with you,
Slowly allow your wonderful eyes to open.
Thank you for sharing this moment of inner harmony with yourself,
Dear one.
I wish you a time filled with love and ease in your life,
Both during this holiday season and beyond.
