Your entire body is about to light up with energy,
Gratitude and something you can't even name.
So close your eyes,
Inhale deeply and exhale completely,
Softening your jaw,
Shoulders and whole body relaxes.
Now allow your attention to rest on the beat of your heart,
If it helps you can place your hands on your heart,
Feel its gentle rhythm and for a moment just be with it.
Your heartbeat is steady,
Constant,
A quiet force that was beating for you even before you were born,
It has asked for nothing,
It simply beats for you.
So in this moment offer it deep gratitude,
Gratitude for the thousands of silent beats that have carried you through your days,
For the quiet work it always does even when you forget it's there.
Now go deeper,
Beyond the muscle,
To your heart space,
The home of your emotions.
Tune into this heart that has held every love,
Every loss,
Every longing.
Your heart that has burst with joy so pure it made your chest ache.
Your heart that has clenched in fear,
Raced with excitement and softened in surrender.
It has broken,
It has mended and yet it still loves.
Say to it now in your mind,
Thank you for every beat.
Thank you for feeling so deeply.
Thank you for this life.
Now every time your heart beats,
Imagine it sending out a gentle pulse of gratitude like ripples in water.
Feel the gratitude flowing through your body from the tips of your toes to the crown of your head.
Feel it forming a bubble around you,
Flowing out into the space you are in,
Wrapping everything in warmth,
Kindness and love.
And now inhale deeply to gather all that gratitude,
Pause at the top,
And on your exhale send it forward,
Send it to the days ahead,
To all the people you will meet,
To all the moments not yet lived.
Feel the future receiving it.
Feel life responding to your gratitude,
Like an echo returning from the future.
Breathe it all in so deeply.
Your heart is open,
Your energy is flowing and you are part of something so vast,
Beautiful and ever expanding.
Keep this feeling close.
Have the most beautiful day.
