Welcome to Awaken to Joy, a bonus celebration series created as a gift to you—especially for seasons of reflection, renewal, and fresh beginnings. These longer guided meditations invite you to slow down, soften your shoulders, and return to what's steady and bright within. Each episode weaves gentle breath, soothing guidance, and a simple affirmation you can carry into your day: "I awaken to my inner joy." Whether you're celebrating, healing, or simply craving a moment of peace, these meditations are here to help you reconnect with calm, gratitude, and the quiet happiness that lives beneath the noise. Press play, get comfortable, and let this bonus series support you—one longer, nourishing practice at a time. This is day 2 of a 7-day meditation series, "Awaken to Joy Celebration Meditations," episodes 1297-1303. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY: As the year gently comes to a close, this special episode of Awaken to Joy Celebration Meditations invites you into a sacred pause. Between this week's celebrations of Christmas and Hanukkah, and any other spiritual celebrations, light and love are celebrated in different ways—but the invitation is the same: to slow down, reflect, and soften into gratitude. This special bonus episode of Awaken to Joy is part of a meditation series I recorded a few years ago—created not for a moment in time, but for moments like this. As the year draws to a close and the light of celebration fills the season, I wanted to offer this meditation as a gift of gratitude to you, my listeners. These reflections are timeless by design—an invitation to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with peace, gratitude, and inner light. Whether you're celebrating, resting, or simply needing a pause, this meditation is my way of saying thank you for being here. May it bring you calm, comfort, and gentle joy as one year ends and another begins. ✨ With deep gratitude, ✨ A moment of stillness, just for you ✨ A new beginning softly forming.
