Relationships require a good amount of generosity and acceptance as we learn to practice it in ordinary ways, from moment to moment. To me that means coming from honesty and being connect to the heart. This helps us to focus on what’s working, what’s wonderful, and what’s being given so that we can let in the gift that is being offered and be grateful. After all, graciousness comes from being grateful— they are woven together like a beautiful braid. This meditation brings this graciousness and kindness practice to ourselves first—because as we instill in ourselves this deep practice, we can share it with those we love. I invite you to relax, pause and surrender to graciousness with me. *Gratitude to Marina Raye for sharing her music track “Awakening Dream” from the album Liquid Silk.
