Why is the warm comforting feeling of gratitude fleeting, but stress, sadness, and fear are not? Instead, they tend to linger and grow. In this talk and meditation we discuss why that is, why it's important, and what can we can do about it. Research suggests that practicing gratitude helps improve physical and psychological health, increase happiness and life satisfaction, and even decrease our desire or craving for materialism. More recently, a gratitude practice has been recommended as a non-medical “intervention” to improve sleep, decrease depression, and help people be more resilient following traumatic events. It's important to note however, that it's not simply cognativly thinking about how grateful we are... it's an experiential PRACTICE. Learn how here.
