The Peaceful Place with Melissa Field

As we approach the Winter Solstice — the longest night of the year — we’re offered a quiet pause before the light begins to return.

In this gentle intention-setting practice, you’re invited to reflect, release, and consciously choose what you’d like to grow as the coming light unfolds. This is a calm, grounded space to consider what you’re ready to leave behind, and what you want to nourish in the months ahead.

Winter has a way of inviting us to slow down, turn inward, and reconnect with ourselves.

In this gentle winter meditation, you’re invited to settle into a sense of calm and presence — whether you’re sitting quietly or listening while you walk. Inspired by the quiet stillness of winter days, this practice helps you return to yourself through breath, softness, and awareness.

You’ll be guided into a peaceful inner space, like snowfall b...

Peace isn’t passive; it’s a powerful creative state. It is the first step to aligning with what you want and allowing it to take form.

This episode features Day 1 from my 7-module...
