Transcript

Find yourself in a comfortable seated position as you take a big inhale through the nose and exhale.

Let's do that one more time.

As you inhale,

Filling up your belly and exhale as you let it all go.

Close your eyes if they aren't already as we set an intention together.

Today's meditation is all about gratitude.

We are going to recognize what really feeling in gratitude feels like for you.

Being grateful doesn't mean that something huge or major has happened in your life.

In fact,

One could argue that small moments of gratitude are much more significant because they happen more often.

A cup of coffee in the morning.

A casual chat with a friend that leaves you with a smile on your face.

That feeling you get when you allow yourself to be completely present.

Moments of joy as they are happening.

Freshly washed sheets.

Take a few quiet moments to think about something that you are grateful for.

Something that you are grateful for having experienced today.

Gratitude is one of the most powerful human emotions.

It changes your entire outlook on life.

When you are filled with gratitude,

It exudes out of you.

It flows into the world and it changes the way you approach things.

It brings you more peace.

It changes the way you see simple moments that are easy to overlook.

Some days it feels hard to find gratitude.

And I want you to know that's true for me too.

It's true for all of us.

But I invite you to consider.

What if there are no bad days?

Only bad moments in a day?

If you can find one thing to be grateful for every day in your life,

That single piece of gratitude will take you through to the other side.

Gratitude is simplicity.

And there is good in every single day.

All you have to do is look for it.

Take a deep breath in.

As you fill your body with gratitude you have created for yourself.

For the undetectable,

But ever-present air that keeps you alive.

Sometimes all it takes is a single moment.

A quick pause to shift your entire day.

When you are ready,

Take a final deep breath in.

And as you exhale,

Open your eyes and return to the room around you.

A wonderfully quick thoughtful meditation on gratitude. It’s a simple practice that can change your life. Thank you.

Thabk you for the reminder that there are no bad days, just bad moments.

So grounding and peaceful, a lovely way to start the early morning.

This was the best short meditation on gratitude I’ve ever heard.
I felt like it opened my eyes and now I will remember to be grateful for more than my usual checklist of health, family, friends…
My day is made up of so many moments and opportunities to be grateful for.
Thank you for opening my eyes. 🙏🏻

Very thoughtful calming meditation, great to start the day

I love how you speak to me.. I’m in a state of complete calm and gratitude.🙏 Thank you

I love what you said about just finding one thing to be grateful for. While I focus on gratitude, and it is usually in the evening, and why am grateful for things… During the busyness of the day, I often forget to go back to those things in moments where life gets heavy . Today I will do my best to take a pause to remember that one thing that I said I was grateful for during this meditation. I believe it will bring me back to center. Thank you for this beautiful reminder and this beautiful meditation. Amazing how one sentence can change your whole day. You did that!
