Description: Coming back from vacation can feel like being thrown into cold water. In this gentle meditation, we’ll meet the discomfort of reentry with kindness. Instead of resenting the return to routine, we’ll soften into it — breath by breath — and find steadiness in the present moment, even if it doesn’t feel as magical as last week did.
