As Christmas draws very near, here is an invitation to reframe the importance of “presence” over presents.
Loneliness is quite prevalent during the holidays. Even with people around us there is that pang of unseen loneliness.
Gift time and full body listening and being.
The holidays for me is especially hard because of grief that is still being healed i lost my best friend, P and I wasn’t able to say goodbye. It’s also hard because I miss my dad so much. He was my person.
Even with family surrounding me, there is a longing I cannot shake.
An antidote I have found helpful is being present for my S E L F. I play music that reminds me of the many beautiful memories. I take a stroll around my neighborhood and in my minds eye I see P and my dad walking with me in silence. I close the evening off lighting a candle and a silent prayer for both of them ❤️. In many ways, it fills my heart with their love.
I then am able to be with others in my family and be fully present for them.
If this is a year where grief is so overwhelming and you have no one to turn to, please send me a direct message and will dedicate a meditation just for you. I will hold sacred space for Y O U ❤️
May your time be season be full of love and compassion.
❤️
