This daily contemplative guide supports the spiritual journey of Advent for pilgrims from all traditions. To traverse a path in the dark night, we walk carefully, carry a lamp, or orient our way by the moon or starlight. When there is no such light to guide us, we grow quiet and profoundly aware. We listen deeply and find our way with the inner light of mindful awareness, deeply attuned to the now moment. One step at a time, the way forward is revealed. Spiritual practices from the Christian tradition of Advent are luminous tools to guide us through the dark days and nights of Winter. Through contemplation and meditation, we can prepare our hearts and minds to reach what yogis call Kutastha Chaitanya —the universal Christ or Krishna Consciousness, which is the unchanging inner divine Self of all. Intentional, spiritual contemplation during Advent offers a remedy for the holidays' overly materialistic focus that can leave us feeling empty in more ways than one. Instead, it gives us a soul-nourishing way to open our hearts and minds to the healing light within.
