In this standalone guided meditation, Kamela Celeste invites you into a gentle practice of holding space for the “and.” This meditation is for moments when you find yourself carrying more than one truth at the same time, joy and grief, hope and fear, excitement and heaviness.

Rather than asking you to choose one emotion or push anything away, this practice offers a grounded space to slow down, reconnect with your breath, and allow complexity to exist without needing to be fixed. Through body awareness, breath, and reflective guidance, you are supported in releasing pressure, softening self judgment, and meeting yourself exactly where you are.

This meditation is designed to be returned to anytime you are navigating transition, uncertainty, or emotional overwhelm, whether you are opening a new chapter or simply needing space to breathe.

Who This Meditation Is For

This meditation is for you if:

• You are feeling hopeful and exhausted at the same time
• You are holding excitement alongside grief, fear, or uncertainty
• You want relief without spiritual bypassing
• You are craving a practice that honors emotional honesty and self compassion
• You want to feel more grounded, present, and connected to your body

No prior meditation experience is needed.

What You May Feel After This Practice

After completing this meditation, you may notice:

• A greater sense of emotional spaciousness
• Reduced stress and nervous system settling
• A deeper connection to your breath and body
• More compassion for yourself and your inner experience
• Relief from the pressure to figure everything out

You do not leave this practice with answers. You leave with permission.

In this full ritual episode of The Holistic Ritual, host Kamela Celeste returns after a quiet holiday pause to ease into the beginning of 2026 with intention, reflection, and spiritual grounding.

The episode gently touches on themes of grief and transition, exploring how periods of loss and change can naturally reshape our relationship with time, ambition, and forward movement. Rather than rushing into goals, listeners are invited to consider what it looks like to move at a pace that honors the nervous system and supports long-term alignment.

Kamela guides listeners through vision boards as a ritual practice, not as a surface level tool, but as a way of attuning to the future self through imagery, embodiment, and daily lived action. An ADHD-friendly framework is shared, emphasizing outcomes, everyday practices, and evidence as anchors for sustainable manifestation.

The episode also introduces the concept of an action board as a gentle companion to visioning - a way to orient, check in, and course-correct without pressure or rigidity. The ritual closes with a grounding meditation designed to support clarity, connection, and spiritual guidance as the year unfolds.

This episode offers a calm, intentional beginning — one rooted in presence rather than urgency.

In this standalone meditation of The Holistic Ritual, we’re softening into a gentle practice designed to help you reconnect with the quiet, subtle sparks of joy that already exist around you.

This season can feel magical, but also tender.

Loneliness, nostalgia, seasonal depression, and emotional heaviness are common companions as the days grow colder and darker. This meditation helps you drop into warmth, stillness, and the tiny moments that bring your nervous system back into ease.

Together, we’ll settle under a blanket, rest into the body, and practice noticing joy in its simplest, softest forms… the joy that whispers instead of shouts.

This is a cozy, winter-friendly practice you can return to anytime you need grounding, comfort, or emotional nourishment.

Props needed for the meditation:

• Thick or weighted blanket (but also anything cozy will do, a big jacket, a stuffed animal, or a big pillow also work too)

Who this episode is for:

✨ Anyone feeling lonely, tender, or emotionally overwhelmed

✨ Those navigating holiday heaviness or winter blues

✨ Anyone seeking joy in small moments

✨ Highly sensitive hearts

✨ Listeners wanting a warm, grounding, nervous-system-soothing practice

✨ Anyone craving calm, comfort, and a moment to breathe

This meditation includes:

🌙 Gentle breathwork

🌙 Full-body grounding

🌙 Cozy somatic cues

🌙 “I like this” joy-recognition technique

🌙 A nourishing closing stretch

🌙 Warm emotional support for seasonal shifts

Weekly Ritual:

Notice one thing that brings you joy every day this week, something small, simple, and honest. Record it in your Notes app or journal to deepen your awareness of the good that’s already in your life.

Thank you for practicing with me today.

This week’s ritual is a soft landing pad for the start of holiday season. We explore gratitude not as a cliché, but as a nervous system practice: through food, touch, community, and the small moments that make life feel a little more bearable (and beautiful).

In this episode, you’ll experience:

• An oracle pull to anchor the week’s energy
• A simple energy snapshot of current astrology
• Holistic care for Thanksgiving week: relationships, social dynamics, home cooking, food/body thoughts, rest, home environment, and joy
• A gentle reframe of food as love and connection, not calories or “earning” your plate
• Reflections on physical touch, co-regulation, and touch starvation (with a Substack piece to go deeper)
• A guided gratitude meditation to ground your body, soften your system, and reconnect with what’s here now

This episode is for you if:

• Holidays feel… complicated (grief, stress, joy, all of it at once)
• You’re navigating food anxiety, people-pleasing, or family dynamics this week
• You’ve been craving more touch, more warmth, more genuine connection
• You want a ritual that blends spiritual insight, holistic health, and real-life tenderness

Perfect to listen to while you’re traveling, prepping food, or winding down after a long holiday day.
