This is Day 12 of 12 Days of Coming Home - a gift of guided meditations to help you find calm and centre during the holiday season. New meditation arrives daily through December 24th.
If these practices are supporting you, please share with someone who might need them. We could all use a little more presence right now.
We’ve come to our final day together. Over these twelve days, we’ve sat with breath, body, emotions, thoughts, beliefs. We’ve explored joy and self-compassion, extended care to others, held grief, felt gratitude. Today we come home to what underlies it all: it’s love, of course.
Not the greeting card version or the Hollywood ending, but love as the fundamental nature of awareness itself. Love as the capacity to meet life with an open heart, even when it's difficult. Especially then. Letting our heart break and mend and break again. That's love. Not the idea of it, but the lived experience.
Today, we explore something deeper: the loving awareness that is our essence. We’re not trying to manufacture or achieve anything, to reach a specific “state”. We’re simply remembering what we already are beneath all the conditioning, all the stories, all the struggle. This is a practice of recognition and rest.
