In this final episode of the Peace Series, you'll be guided through a reflective and nurturing weekly review—an opportunity to look back on your journey and notice what has shifted, softened, or awakened within you.

You'll revisit the practices from each day—breathing techniques, mudras, affirmations, and chakra awareness—and observe which ones resonated most deeply. This gentle reflection strengthens your mindfulness, deepens your self-understanding, and helps your nervous system commit these peaceful states to memory.

Today is about anchoring your progress, celebrating your consistency, and acknowledging the peace you've created from the inside out. As you prepare for a new year, this guided awareness offers clarity and gratitude, helping you carry the calm you've cultivated into the days and weeks ahead.

A beautiful close to a powerful week. Let's reflect, integrate, and begin again—steady, open, and peaceful.

This is a replay of a series I recorded a few years ago!

ALL ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES

As the year winds down and the world grows louder with commitments, celebrations, and expectations, this series invites you to do something rare and powerful: slow down. The Peace Meditation Series is your gentle companion through the end-of-year rush and into the quiet promise of a brand new beginning.

Each episode is designed to help you release what no longer serves you, soften the nervous system, and return to a deep sense of calm—no matter what the season brings. Whether you are reflecting on the year behind you or setting intentions for the year ahead, these moments of stillness are here to steady your breath, clear your mind, and reconnect you with your inner peace.

This is not about striving or fixing. It is about remembering the calm that already lives within you. Welcome to your season of peace.

Welcome to "A Gentle Path to Peace."

This is day 7 of a 7-day meditation series, "A Gentle Path to Peace," episodes 1648-1654.
