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
