| 0:47.9 | And in today's meditation, you're going to be guided in the peace and stillness of Christmas Eve. Now, if you don't celebrate Christmas Eve, this meditation is going to help you feel very calm and peaceful. So as you get ready to meditate, |
| 1:02.1 | keep in mind this beautiful Christmas Eve, whether you're listening to this during the day or in the evening, I hope that you will give yourself a chance to really sit down and connect with the beautiful meaning of love and forgiveness of the season. |
| 1:24.6 | And this is part of a love meditation series where every single day this week |
| 1:31.7 | we've been exploring meditation techniques all based around loving yourself as well as loving |
