So take your posture,
Close your eyes gently and take five slow,
Full conscious breaths,
Mindful breaths.
And then allow the breaths to flow naturally and mindfully.
The breath brings life and movement into your feeling centre,
The feeling centre of your body,
Your throat,
Your heart,
Your solar plex and your tummy.
And connect now with the sensation in the feet,
Grounding themselves and in your hands.
Connect with the feeling line,
The throat,
The chest,
The solar plexus and the stomach.
Connect with a gentle care like,
Like an inner embrace,
Just noticing.
Noticing any tension,
Any tightness,
Just noticing as you're breathing.
Sitting with that open awareness of the feeling line in your body and the stillness of the awareness that surrounds and embraces it.
Just noticing.
Now bring to your mind all the material things in your life that sustain and comfort you.
The food you eat,
The clothes you wear,
Your home.
Bring to mind the material things that entertain you and inspire you.
Your books,
Garden,
Television,
Furnishings,
Artwork,
Photography,
Music.
In your mind,
Begin to recall and name all those things.
Name all those material things.
As you dwell on these things,
Say to yourself,
Thank you.
Thank you for all these things that support and comfort me.
These things that amuse and inspire me.
Thank you very much.
Take a good breath consciously and direct your breath towards your heart.
And as you breathe out,
Let your heart be touched with the feeling of gratitude.
Even gently tapping your heart right now.
Beautiful feeling of gratitude.
Now allow to come to mind all your teachers,
All those who have encouraged,
Inspired or otherwise helped you to grow.
Some of your teachers may have been kind,
Some more ruthless.
In your mind,
Begin to recall,
Picture and name all of your teachers.
Then say to yourself,
Thank you.
Thank you to all my teachers.
Thank you for all the lessons you have given me.
Thank you very much.
Take a beautiful deep breath consciously and direct the breath towards your heart,
Tapping it a little.
And as you breathe out,
Let your heart be touched with the feeling of gratitude.
Now allow to come to mind all of your friends,
All of those people who have shared fun,
Challenges and love with you.
All of the people who have supported you.
It may be a small select group or a large group.
In your mind,
Begin to recall,
Picture and name all of your friends.
And say to yourself,
Thank you.
Thank you to all my friends.
Thank you for your love and support.
Thank you very much.
Breathe consciously and direct your breath towards your heart,
Just tapping it a little,
Awakening your heart.
As you breathe out,
Let your heart be touched with the feeling of gratitude.
Now allow to come to mind all of your family members,
Your parents,
Grandparents and ancestors who stand behind you,
Your brothers and sisters who stand beside you,
Perhaps your children who stand in front of you,
All of your family members.
In your mind,
Begin to recall,
Picture and bring to mind all of your family members.
Then say to yourself,
Thank you.
Thank you to all my family members.
Thank you for all the fun,
Challenges and love that we have shared.
Thank you for your love and support.
Thank you very much.
Breathe consciously and direct your breath towards your heart,
Tapping your heart,
Feeling it as you breathe out.
Let your heart be touched with the feeling of gratitude.
Now allow to come to mind the people with whom you have shared intimate love,
Your lovers,
Partners,
Spouse,
All of the people who have touched your heart as you have touched theirs.
It may be a small select group or just one person.
In your mind,
Begin to recall pictures and name your beloved ones.
Then say to yourself,
Thank you.
Thank you to my loved ones.
Thank you for the love we have shared.
Thank you very much.
Breathe consciously and direct your breath towards your heart.
As you breathe out,
Let your heart be touched with the feeling of gratitude.
Now bring to mind your own unique and precious self.
In your mind,
Begin to recall times in your life.
See your face at various ages and say your name.
Then say thank you to yourself.
Thank you to my own true self.
Thank you for this precious life.
Thank you very much.
Breathe consciously and direct the breath towards your heart,
Tapping it,
Rubbing it.
As you breathe out,
Let your heart be touched with the feeling of gratitude.
Let the feeling of gratitude spread to every part of your body.
Let every cell of your body say thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for this unique precious life.
And if it feels appropriate,
Place your palms together in front of your chest in a prayer position.
You may even like to bow your head a little as you continue to say to yourself and to all of life,
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
And when you're ready,
You can open your eyes.
Hallelujah!
You
