"All Living Beings Are Part of My Family"

As we enter into the holiday season, here are some soothing words you may want to meditate upon surrounding your feelings about family:

I envelop my entire family in a circle of love - those who are living, and those who are dead. I affirm wonderful, harmonious experiences that are meaningful for all of us. I feel so blessed to be part of the timeless web of unconditional love that brings us all together.

Ancestors who lived before me did the best they could with the knowledge and understanding they had, and children not yet born will face new challenges and will do the best they can with the knowledge and understanding they will have.
Each day I see my task more clearly, which is to simply let go of old family limitations and awaken to Divine Harmony. For me, family get-togethers are opportunites to practice tolerance and compassion.
