The perfect birthday gift! In this guided meditation I say all the things you are thinking about a person you care about or has helped you. A simple three-minute thank you that reminds both the giver and the receiver why life is important.

Today is the day that we honor your birth.

Happy birthday.

Today is the day that we acknowledge the very first time your presence was felt in this body here on earth.

Today is the day that we are so happy and are able to celebrate you.

Because you are the culmination of all of your ancestors' dreams,

Work,

And desires,

Starting with your parents.

And I want you to remember back when you were just a little baby,

Little hands and little fingers and little feet and little toes.

When you first came upon the earth and you were just checking things out and from that time until today you have been probing and seeing and feeling and making and doing and making a difference.

Making a difference.

And I want you to remember back to a time when you were just a small child and you were running and giggling and laughing and it just felt like everything in the universe was there just for you.

And I want you to think of a time when you helped someone.

When you gave of yourself for someone else and sacrificed for them.

And what you did for them may not have been what you wanted or expected to do for them.

And the outcome of what happened may not have been what you wanted it to be.

But still,

You made a difference in someone's life.

You showed up.

You were the reason why.

You made things happen.

And on behalf of all of those people you have helped.

I just want to say to you.

Happy birthday.
