Path Home, Advent Meditation Series 2021

The Path Home Advent Meditation Series centers around how Hope, Love, Joy & Peace were always things we were meant to receive in Christ. And never anything we’d need to strive and strain for!  God has always been calling us home to connect and abide.

What is Advent Season?

Advent teaches us to identify our current status as one of waiting. Just as ancient people awaited the fulfillment of a Messiah who would save the people from oppression, we too await the second coming. This messy middle of waiting, as we faithfully acknowledge all of the prophesies met in Jesus while clinging to hope for all the promises yet to come, culminates perfectly in the tradition of Advent.

Watch the trailer for Path Home now to see where we’re focusing our eyes this season.

 

PATH HOME, ADVENT MEDITATION 2021

Though we were born in different times and come from different places, there is a path that is native within each and every heart.  After all, we share the same origin story and tend a collective wound. Before our birth, before the resurrection, the manger, and even the fall. In the beginning, God created us and called our collective origin story “very good”. The path home to this goodness is etched on our hearts with a wild and untamed voice calling out in love, ]

“Make way for the path of the Lord.” 

For us to return to what we instinctively crave.  And deep down We all know the holidays are more than the hustle and bustle, making lists and checking them at least twice. So this year, we’ll incorporate intention setting to set our eyes and hearts on higher, and yes, deeper things. And within the guided meditations we’ll lean into scripture to see how this path home was God’s plan all along! 

That hope, love, joy, and peace were never things we would need to strive to create on our own. But simply what we would inherit from our good and loving God, our Brother and our King. Come with me on this winding and hilly but altogether healing path. Let’s go home this Christmas and see how returning to Christ is our native path!

Why Do Advent Meditations?

This Advent Meditation series is designed to help you pad your time with safe boundaries, a sense of margin, and an attitude of Sabbath throughout a very hectic season.

It is very difficult to slide into the season after our mind, body, and spirit are stretched too thin and then call for a quick time out. We need to establish guardrails now!

Just ahead there is a warm and cozy refuge, full of tender memory-making, with you using all 5 senses to be present in the moment, looking for cheer in every smile, and sharing hope where joy seems lost.  It isn’t hard to find. We’ve already been given the map within the promise of Christmas!

By answering the call and returning to the Path Home within our own heart, we can thrive during the holidays and carry a centered focus with us into the new year!

Observing Advent encourages us to:

  • Check into the present
  • Remember the past
  • Look forward with hope

And if you’re familiar with meditation, you know it is a natural fit for supporting these intentions! Advent Meditation will not only protect your intention of staying grounded in the true meaning of Christmas, but it also builds in needed time for quiet reflection as you prepare for the new year.

GUIDED CHRISTIAN MEDITATION

Holistic Faith Lifestyle was created through my own desire to see God in every aspect of my life. I began inviting God to be revealed in my heart and in every aspect of my holistic wellbeing; mind, body, spirit, emotions, and relationships. God was generous to do so, just as it is for each one of us who seeks! The guided Christian meditations, flower essence blends, overcoming limiting beliefs, and scripture affirmations are the tools and resources birthed from this pursuit. I use them to add support to my own Holistic Faith Lifestyle and am honored to share them with you!

They’re all available within the Holistic Faith Lifestyle Monthly Membership. Check it out below!

GUIDED CHRISTIAN MEDITATION RESOURCES

We all look ahead to the Christmas season with hope for it to be the most special time of not just this year, but any holiday season of the past. We know it will be busy but promise ourselves we’ll make it perfectly different this Christmas. And then as the pace hits overdrive, we find ourselves spinning once again.

That often unfulfilled hope is why I created this Season of Rest bundle. It’s a great compliment to the 5 Free Sessions of the Path Home Advent Meditation Series beginning on November 28.

What’s Included?

All Path Home Advent Series Meditations

The holidays are busy. No question. Knowing you can pop in and access the next meditation in the series whenever you’re ready brings a sense of peace and security right away. Because as much as our spirits will be at rest, our bodies will seem to be in constant motion!

Meditation Playlist for the Month of December

The Season of Rest Bundle will include the only Meditation Playlist for the entire month of December! A meditation practice scheduled for Sunday – Friday for all of December, with a catch-up day on Saturday is available now in the Membership. No repeats!

The Path Home Christmas Intention Setting Guide

Be reminded of the difference in goals and intentions, then put yours to practice with my easy, answer on the fly prompts. Putting your intention to work all month long doesn’t mean creating it has to take that long!

Printable Wall Art + Postcards

Enjoy a printable, frameable piece for your mantle, plus postcards that you can mail or attach to gifts or use as post-holiday thank you’s. Seeing a holy reminder of what you’ve inherited in Christ makes showing gratitude easy. And having something beautiful to send makes it fun!

15% OFF the Season of Rest Flower Essence Blend

Flower essences are the vibrational imprint of flowers captured in spring water and preserved in brandy. Each flower ministers to a specific emotion and helps us process and expend trapped energy. Don’t worry if you don’t know what these are yet. I have a whole FAQ on it (including what about allergies, alcohol sensitivity, use with kids and pets, and if energetic medicine is spiritually safe for Jesus followers) and am available for Q&A anytime! For now, just know it’s some of the best self-care you can provide for yourself.

After Advent, monthly content will include:

  • Ongoing Monthly Membership for just $12/mo. (a 55% discount!)
  • Exclusive NEW meditation practices for each Monday of the month
  • Weekly meditation playlists released at the beginning of the month
  • Printable affirmation cards
  • Limiting belief release statements that match the month’s centering focus
  • 15% OFF the targeted Flower Essence Remedy of the month
  • $5 OFF future ticketed meditation series

PS – Subscribe to the Path Home Advent Series here and get your Monthly Membership discount!

No fluff. No list of specific reasons or identifie No fluff. No list of specific reasons or identifiers or labels as to why this day can be hard. Or easy. Or full of sunshine. 

“Just” the soul edifying stuff of looking toward God’s promises to provide love, faithfulness, grace, and mercy from generation to generation. Trusting it just in this moment. 
And praying that it take root and build as you walk in faith. 

And somehow, it molds itself to fit every heart shape. Because they’re God’s words, not mine. And that’s what the words of our good and gentle God do. 

Be blessed. 😌

A Sabbath prayer that just so happens to be perfec A Sabbath prayer that just so happens to be perfect for the halfway point of Lent. 

Especially if Lent feels like an extended version of hot potato. You put it down. Picked it up. Dropped it quick before anyone noticed. Repeatedly. For 19 days…and counting.

“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness’.”
2 Cor. 12:9

I’m still learning to Sabbath. And this month’s series on Redeeming the Time has helped me see that rest is far more than pausing work. 

So whatever the “thing” is for you invite God right into the middle of it. Ask for instruction on how to create Sabbath margin and find breathing room. 

And be blessed!

Do you know this one? While I know these words are Do you know this one? While I know these words are true & good in all seasons, they’re resonating deep & fresh & new on this first day of spring. 🌿

“Why did I waste so much time worrying
You've had a plan all along, I'm listening
You made a way out of deserts & rivers just yesterday, so today

If I hear You speak, I don't need an explanation
If You tell me move, I don't need the destination
If what's promised, I never see, I'm still walking with You, You're still walking with me

You will redeem all the time I spent wandering
You've been the fire & the cloud, 
I'm following
You made a way out of bondage & darkness just yesterday

And if I know one thing
Our God is a deliverer
If I know one thing
Our God is gonna see us through

Never alone in the battle (He'll see us through)
Never alone in the desert,(He'll see us through)
Never alone in the fire (He'll see us through)
Never alone in the water (He'll see us through)
Never alone in the depression (He'll see us through)
Never alone in the addiction (He'll see us through)
In all our anxiety, He'll see us through
In our darkest thoughts, I know Jesus, He'll see us through
In every circumstance, I know, He'll see us through
If I know one thing
Our God is a deliverer
If I know one thing
Our God is gonna see us through

That is what He does, it's in His name.
