Vedic Worldview

Dealing With Family Gatherings


Listen Later

It’s that time of the year where families come together to experience the joys of the family bond. Greetings are given, embraces exchanged, laughter is shared, tears of joy are shed, and the love is felt. 

And then it starts…

The euphoria wears off and the tension kicks in.

It might just be some low level tension that doesn’t really amount to much. Or it could be a full-on dispute that escalates to a large-scale crisis. Or it might be something in between.

Not in every home of course but, for many families, this is the standard operating procedure.

For Vedic meditators this is perfect. It gives us the opportunity to test how ‘colorfast’ our practice has made us. We get to test which of our buttons can no longer be pushed. We get to exercise the cosmic responsibilities that come with being a Vedic meditator.

Sit back, listen in, and let Thom help you prepare for what could be one of your most peaceful festive seasons yet.
