As Christmas arrives, Paula creates a soothing space for reflection, encouraging us to honour the loved ones and pets we miss during this tender season. Through guided breathing and visualisation, she helps us connect with our eternal nature and the profound love that transcends physical separation. The meditation leads us to a luminous garden where we can reunite with those who have passed, fostering a sense of oneness and cosmic love. KEY TAKEAWAYS The holiday season often brings a mix of joy and sadness as we remember loved ones who are no longer with us. It's natural to hold both emotions simultaneously, and this tenderness can open our hearts to deeper connections. Love transcends physical separation. Signs from loved ones, such as familiar symbols or feelings, serve as reminders that love continues in different forms, reinforcing the idea that we are never truly alone. Each individual possesses an eternal aspect that exists beyond this lifetime. This eternal nature is likened to a radiant light within, which can be accessed and expanded upon during moments of reflection and meditation. The meditation invites participants to envision a journey to a luminous garden where they can reconnect with loved ones in their light bodies. This space symbolises a timeless meeting place where recognition and love flourish. After the meditation, individuals are encouraged to integrate the light and love experienced into their everyday lives. Affirmations about connecting to inner love can help ease life's challenges and foster a compassionate heart. BEST MOMENTS "This is a gentle space to slow down at Christmas time, to honour the people and pets we love, and to feel that deeper sense of connection and reunion that still lives within us." "It's completely natural to hold joy and sadness together. Why wouldn't we, when we've cared so deeply?" "In love, there can never be separation. At Christmas time, these signs often come more clearly." "You are watched over, guided, and deeply loved." "You return carrying light. This is your soul living, bringing the infinite into everyday life."
