This is a guided meditation that takes the listener through a process that promotes gratitude for other people as well as oneself. Being grateful helps us to feel good. When we’re feeling grateful, our mind is clear, we have a deeper relationship with the universe and its Creator, and we become more aware of the big picture. With gratitude in the forefront of our awareness, it becomes harder to see the universe as being against us. Rather, it becomes our friend, our ally, and our supporter. We can see that the universe is working for us! According to the latest research, people who are grateful: • Have higher levels of positive emotions • Are more satisfied with life and have more vitality and optimism • Are more likely to share what they have with those who don’t have as much • Have lower levels of stress and depression • Have a greater capacity for empathy • Place less importance on material good • Are less likely to judge others based on materialistic standards
