When something in life ends, it can be surprisingly hard to let go. In this guided meditation, we explore why endings affect us so deeply and how to meet them with awareness instead of resistance. Together, we gently notice where the body is holding on, allow the emotions to move, gain clarity, and begin to accept the reality of change. Endings don’t mean something went wrong. They’re part of being alive. This practice is an invitation to soften, breathe, and take the next step forward with a little more peace and presence.All the good stuff:Enroll for the 2026 Meditation Teacher Training Certification Program: ⁠https://bit.ly/49vIMCp⁠Meditation School: ⁠https://www.meditationschool.us⁠ The 7 Energies of the Soul Book: ⁠https://amzn.to/3mAByGN

In this episode, we explore the essence of mindfulness and the pitfalls of constantly striving for self-optimization. This meditation emphasizes the importance of being present and experiencing reality as it unfolds, rather than using meditation as a tool to achieve future goals or states of enlightenment. We discuss how living through anticipation or memory can detract from the richness of the present moment, which is the true portal to reality. Let go of the continuous drive to improve and instead embrace the quiet, unassuming beauty of now, finding peace not in change but in acceptance of the current moment.
