Hi,
My name is Kelly and I'm going to guide you on a meditation that's all about gratitude.
You can do this meditation first thing in the morning,
In the middle of the day,
In the evening,
It doesn't matter.
Any time that you would like to call in some gratitude.
So before we get started,
Get yourself into a comfortable position.
That could be lying down,
It could be sitting down,
Whatever makes you most comfortable.
And once you're in your comfortable position,
Move around,
Do anything you need to do,
Roll your shoulders,
Wiggle,
Whatever you need to do just to kind of get really comfy.
Now that you're settled in,
I invite you to close your eyes.
And let's start together with a nice,
Deep inhale.
And a lot nice,
Long,
Slow exhale.
Do that one more time.
Nice long inhale.
And nice long exhale.
And now I invite you to think just about the word gratitude.
What does just the word feel like to you?
Do you feel it anywhere in your body,
Maybe in your chest,
Maybe in your mind?
Where does gratitude hit you?
And just feel it.
Feel gratitude in your body.
And just be aware,
Just notice what that feels like.
And just breathe into it.
And now I invite you to call to mind something that you are grateful for.
Now this can be something as simple as the fact that you woke up this morning feeling rested after a good night's sleep or something as big as a new job,
A new relationship.
It doesn't matter.
Just anything that makes you feel grateful right now in this moment,
Just call that to mind.
Honestly,
Gratitude could just be as simple as your morning cup of coffee.
It really can be that simple.
But just call your gratitude to mind and feel it.
Feel your gratitude.
The amazing thing about the emotion of gratitude is when you feel it,
It's pretty hard to feel anger,
Sadness,
Stress.
Gratitude is kind of one of those overriding emotions.
And so if you have the ability to call it in,
You can override a lot of emotions.
So let's really just seal that feeling in.
Feel that gratitude and let it soak into your whole body.
We'll be here for a couple more moments.
And if you notice at any time that your mind starts to wander,
Just come back to your gratitude.
Breathe in your gratitude.
Let's take one more inhale together.
And slowly exhale and say to yourself,
I am grateful.
When you're ready,
You can start to bring some subtle movements back into your body.
Maybe move your fingers,
Toes.
And when you're ready,
You can let your eyes open.
Thank you for meditating with me.
I am so grateful for you.
