Welcome to this Beautiful Heart Gratitude Meditation.
I invite you to lift your spirits with me today by focusing on the good in your life.
Imagine yourself seated in a beautiful temple.
It is quiet and you are surrounded by nature.
The temple windows look out into a pond covered in pink water lilies and fireflies.
The fading light is soft,
Filtered by the intricate mosaics carved into the temple's walls.
You feel as though you have the entire world to yourself.
You breathe deeply in and out.
You experience golden light flowing in and out of your heart as you breathe.
Your shoulders relax.
All stress and tension fade away.
Each breath brings more and more peace into your soul.
You begin your prayer of gratitude.
Beautiful heart,
I thank you for my breath.
I thank you for the clean air that sustains me.
I thank you for my ability to breathe and speak and sing and whisper.
Beautiful heart,
I thank you for my ability to love and be loved.
I thank you for the wonderful people in my life that love me.
I bring their smiling faces into my mind's eye now.
Beautiful eyes,
I thank you.
I thank you for the beautiful things I've experienced and seen.
The sun rises and the sun sets.
The moonlit nights and the starry skies.
I bring the beautiful places that I love into my mind's eye now.
Beautiful hands,
I thank you.
For the hands you've held.
For the work you've done.
For the things you create.
For the words you have written.
To touch the cool water.
To feel the soft fur of a beloved pet.
To feel the petals of a flower in my garden.
Beautiful hands,
I thank you.
Beautiful spirit,
I thank you for being with me always.
For reminding me of who I am when life is hard.
For shining a light within me and guiding me on my way.
For every flower,
For every tree,
For every drop of rain,
I am thankful.
For every friend,
For every laugh,
For every cry,
I am thankful.
For each new day,
For each beautiful night.
For every opportunity to be myself,
To love myself,
And to share love with others,
I am thankful.
As our time in meditation begins to come to a close,
Breathe deeply in and out.
Feel the golden light of gratitude that flows in and out of your heart as you breathe.
Draw your energy within now.
Give yourself a deep cleansing breath.
Softly blink open your eyes and prepare yourself to return to the waking world.
