Welcome to this meditation to accept total thankfulness.
Today we will explore gratitude in all areas of our life.
Get very comfortable in a position that feels good for you.
Let your hands rest on your thighs and become aware of your breathing.
Notice how your breath is keeping you alive.
Closing the eyes now.
Become grateful for your breath.
Fresh oxygen coming in.
Old carbon dioxide exiting.
Your breath comes and goes in an endless rhythm for your entire life.
And it is there for you to use whenever you need it.
Your breath has the ability to calm the nervous system,
To maintain balance,
And to help you become centered.
So breathe in for a count of five.
And exhale for a count of five.
And just let go of your breath now.
Be thankful for these breaths.
Good.
Now switch your attention and become grateful for everything that is around you right now.
Perhaps the chair you are sitting on,
The room around you,
Wherever you are.
Just be grateful that you are there.
If you are home,
This is the place that provides you safety and shelter.
Feel gratitude for your home.
And now become grateful for all the things that you have in life,
Such as your clothing,
Your vehicles,
Any material objects.
Think of them now and allow a sense of gratitude to come over you.
Think of anything and everything material-wise that you can be grateful for.
And now let's focus on relationships.
Think of some people that are very close to you that you are grateful to know and have in your life.
You can remember back on some fond memories that you shared together.
And now think of all your relationships that are business-related.
People you work with,
Clients,
Your boss,
Anybody related to business.
Be grateful that you know them.
Good.
Notice how all this gratitude is making you feel.
Now let's become grateful for people you don't know but play a role in your life.
People who run the power plants.
Truckers that deliver our food.
People that mean so much to us that we never will meet.
Become grateful for them right now.
Nice.
Return to the sense of gratitude in your body.
When you think of being grateful,
Where do you feel it most?
Focus on this area now.
Really paying attention to any sensations.
And now think about you.
What are you grateful for about yourself?
Think of your qualities first.
Are you kind to others?
Are you talented?
Perhaps you're good with numbers.
Think of anything that you are good at.
Be thankful that you have these gifts to share with others.
Become grateful now for your body,
Your good health.
Be thankful that you have legs that can take you anywhere.
Grateful for your arms and hands that do so much for you.
Grateful for your vision that allows you to see the world.
Grateful for your voice that lets you connect with others.
Grateful for your mouth that can taste all the flavors of the world.
Grateful for your ears that can hear beautiful music and laughter.
Grateful for your nose that can smell wonderful aromas.
And finally,
Grateful for your sense of touch so that you can feel the world.
Finish your meditation by saying out loud,
I am pure gratitude.
Open your eyes now and go about the rest of your week in a pure state of gratitude and be sure to tell others you know that you are grateful to have them in your life.
Namaste
