Welcome,
Dear soul,
To this shamanic gratitude practice.
Close your eyes and take a deep,
Steady breath in.
Feel the air as a sacred gift from Great Spirit.
Breathe in the energy of Great Spirit,
Exhaling,
Releasing all that clouds your heart.
Calling upon the four directions,
To the east,
Gratitude for new beginnings.
To the south,
Gratitude for passion and growth.
To the west,
Gratitude for release and renewal.
To the north,
Gratitude for wisdom and guidance.
Feel the earth beneath you,
Steady and alive.
Whisper thank you to the soil for holding you.
Gratitude to the water that quenches your thirst.
Gratitude to the fire that brings warmth and light.
Gratitude to the wind for carrying your prayers.
Let your prayers rise now,
Like stars in the night sky.
Bring in gratitude for life on Mother Earth.
See the stars shining brightly,
Each one a reminder that you are deeply supported.
Quietly affirm,
I walk in gratitude.
I honor the beauty of this life.
I welcome the blessings yet to come.
Breathe deeply now,
Letting gratitude fill every cell in your being.
Feel your spirit expand.
Let light open and deeply connect into all that is.
When you are ready,
Gently return,
Carrying this gratitude with you into your day.
Blessings to you as you walk in gratitude in the beauty of this life.
Namaste
