A Christmas Meditation

This holy season can provide us with a powerful impetus to expand our capacity to experience and express the universal love of Christ. In a Christmas talk given in 1932, Yogananda said:

Meditate upon the following . . .

My Christ-Peace is descending upon every living thing, upon every living star, upon every speck of matter and space. Celebrate Christmas upon the altar of the vast inner silence, and upon the sanctuary of every desire, every living thing in the world, and the Cosmos. Then will you know Christ as the Divine King ruling in your own heart and in the heart of all finite creation.

If you go deeper, you will meet Christ coming to you in His burning robes of bliss, like the rising aurora, and your joy will dance in every atom of space. Then open your eyes, behold your little body and say, “The Christ-Bliss is descending on the altar of my thought, feeling, and devotion.” Meditate upon the statement: “Christ-Peace is descending into every tissue and cell of my body as health.

Place Christ on the altar of your business and possessions. Say, “I possess these things in Christ.”

Then meditate on the statement, “My Christ-Peace has descended upon every member of my family, upon my country, and upon my world.” Behold Christ-Peace descending upon your body, upon your possessions, and extending to your neighbors, to all countries, and onto the united altar of all hearts and all creatures. Let Christ-Bliss extend from your body to all lands—to America, Asia, South America, Europe, Australia, to the solar system, to the island universes, and to all beings."

~Paramhansa Yogananda

The Christmas season is now in full swing with parties, concerts, plays, shopping, cooking, and decorating. The holidays are celebrated in multiple ways by many cultures. Having what I call a "touchstone" or, as Paramhansa Yogananda puts it, a "portable paradise" of meditation in your tool kit to help you return to your center, is the greatest gift you can give to yourself and to those dear to you.
