This is a guided meditation for finding inner peace with family and friends during the holiday season.
As we begin this meditation,
We set the intention of discovering and nurturing inner peace,
Especially during the holiday season.
Begin by finding a comfortable space that feels right for you in this moment,
Where you can relax fully.
Now gently close your eyes and turn your attention inward,
Focusing on your breath and the sensations in your body.
Just feel what it feels like right now to be in your body.
Invite yourself to relax even more right now,
To release,
To let go of tension,
And to surrender to this present moment.
Find your unique way to unwind,
To create an environment of peace,
Comfort,
And ease just for you.
And as you do this,
Acknowledge your breath and your body as cherished companions,
As dear friends on your journey.
With love and gratitude,
Express appreciation for all they provide you with,
For their unwavering support.
Thank you,
Dear breath and body.
Thank you for being here for me.
Allow yourself to bask in the warmth of this gratitude enveloping you now.
Allow it to deepen your relaxation.
Relax into your own gratitude for yourself.
Let your breath and body rest,
Knowing that as you listen to the following messages,
You will hold the power to remain a magnet for love,
Joy,
And boundless bliss.
You carry a sense of remembrance of your true self,
The awakened self within you.
And as you settle into this meditation even more deeply,
Allow this memory to come forth to you now,
Effortlessly.
No matter what has transpired in the past when it comes to relating to friends or family during the holiday season or any other potentially demanding times,
Know that the past does not have to dictate the future.
What if you are able now to let go of any attachments of the past?
And what if you are able to let go of any desires for new outcomes?
And what if you are just able to be the peace,
The joy,
And the love you wish to see in your life?
Envision yourself releasing attachments to past experiences and relinquishing desires for specific outcomes.
Instead,
Envision yourself now embodying the energy of peace,
Becoming the calm amidst any storm.
How do you wish to feel now when you are in the presence of friends and family during the holidays or other potentially stressful moments?
Realize now that whatever has occurred before need not define what will occur next.
You hold the key to inner peace,
To serenity,
And to being a beacon of calmness.
Imagine that your choice now to radiate peace extends beyond yourself,
Becoming a gift to all those around you.
See that as your reality now.
Express gratitude to yourself for making this choice,
For entering any situation with a heart brimming with peace.
By choosing to transcend past experiences,
You open a doorway to a new reality where peace is your constant companion.
Observe the miracle of peace unfolding,
Even in the smallest ways.
Feel a profound commitment in your heart to seek,
Find,
Notice,
And cherish all moments of peace during the holidays.
Thank yourself for this commitment.
Now invite your body to relax even more in this moment.
What if you could lock in this state of peace right now?
What if it became second nature for you to be at ease this way,
In any circumstances,
Effortlessly?
Tune into this commitment now,
Within your heart.
A heart that tells you,
Yes,
I came here for this.
I can choose love now.
I can choose to see peace,
Regardless of the circumstances.
I choose it,
And it is so.
Allow yourself to sink deeper into this knowing.
You are deserving of feeling wonderfully at peace during this time,
Irrespective of how others respond or react to you.
You bring joy and light to the world,
Dear one,
Radiating love and embracing boundless bliss.
Go now into the holiday season,
Embracing the endless possibilities that will serve to reinforce this truth,
For you are entitled to carry peace with you wherever you go,
Readily accessible at all times.
Express gratitude to the mirrors around you during this holiday season,
And even to loved ones who may not reflect peace back to you.
Remember that peace resides within you,
And you can choose that peace.
You always possess the power to choose it.
Now gradually return your awareness to your body,
And the space that surrounds you now.
When you are ready,
Slowly open your eyes.
Amazing.
You are.
Thank you for sharing this moment of inner harmony with yourself.
I wish you a time filled with love and ease in your life,
Both during this holiday season and beyond.
