Summary

"Despite spending Christmas alone for the first time in my life, I've found myself enjoying the holiday season more than I ever have in a way I didn't expect." ~ Fellow Meditator Zack in London There's a lot going on in the world today that is cause for stress. In fact, you may wonder if you'll ever feel at peace in the world again. In this week's series, you'll discover ways to feel at peace in the world regardless of what's going on around you. As the end of the year approaches and with Christmas celebrated this week, tensions can run high as we maneuver around cherished traditions that now require social distancing from loved ones. This week is also a week to discover how not to take things so personally and how to roll with the punches a little more. This is part 2 of a 7-part Peace On Earth meditation series, episodes 2187-2193. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: You're invited to take part in a Peace Quest. Every day this week, focus on not taking things so personally. To do this, try not to focus on "I" statements. If you are stressed about the insensitive way someone spoke to you, for example, instead of thinking, "I can't believe she said that!". Instead, try reframing your thoughts to a more objective stance such as, "She must be stressed. She probably didn't mean to say that to me." You'll be surprised by how much peace on earth de-personalizing things can bring! THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION TECHNIQUES: Day 1: Peace Visualization Day 2: Affirmation "Peace is all around me." Day 3: Inhale Visualizing Peace, Exhale Sending Out Peace Day 4: Dyan Mudra technique Day 5: Fourth Chakra Focus Day 6: Layer the week's techniques together Day 7: Weekly Reflection Meditation LET'S SUPPORT EACH OTHER - WANT TO SHARE YOUR MEDITATION RITUAL WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS?

0:00.0	This is episode 2,174 of the Daily Meditation Podcast.
0:06.6	I'm Mary Meckley, and I welcome you back to our series.
0:10.5	We are on day two of a theme we're exploring this week.
0:16.0	We are exploring peace on earth.
0:20.1	These times we're living don't seem so peaceful, but peace is
0:24.9	all around you. And that's exactly what your affirmation meditation will have you repeating.
0:34.6	Peace is all around me. You have a challenge this week goes right along with the theme
0:42.8	your challenge is to look for the peace around you and to keep peace within you by not taking things so personally, especially at the end of the year,
1:02.1	as you may go to lots of festivities, whether it's in person, social distancing, or on Zoom.
1:13.4	And emotions can run high this time of year.
1:18.2	There's so much pressure sometimes to create such a special moment every single year as you
1:26.1	end a year and as you celebrate your holidays.
1:29.3	And sometimes those special plans don't work out so well, especially this year.
1:36.3	I've received lots of messages from your fellow meditators who have told me that they are actually spending Christmas or New Year's and many
1:48.8	celebrated Hanukkah last week alone for the first time ever. Many people were not able to
1:56.9	travel to locations to meet up with loved ones like they normally do or they might live
2:04.7	in the same town but can't get together because they live in an area where there's a lockdown.
2:13.4	So this is going to be a different year for celebrating.
2:18.3	And we don't know how long this will last.
2:21.3	So that can be frustrating.
2:23.3	But know that it won't last forever.
2:26.3	And this is a time to do something unique for the holidays.
