Hi and welcome.
My name is Saqib and I am your guide for this gratitude prayer.
We often get so caught up in the daily dramas of our life that we tend to ignore the beautiful aspects of it and then we also forget to thank nature,
Existence,
Universe or God,
Whatever we believe in,
For supporting us all the time and protecting us at each and every step.
Just imagine,
In today's time,
How easy it is for the world to fall apart.
But yet,
Here we are,
Alive and present,
Even after going through so many difficulties and challenges in life.
So now let's find time to be thankful.
Take your time to adjust your posture.
You can sit in your regular prayer posture or just sit or lie down comfortably.
Just make sure that your back is straight but not too stiff.
It's up to you if you want to close your eyes or keep them open.
You can either repeat after me or can just silently listen to the prayer.
I thank you universe for giving me the opportunity to be born in this life,
In this incarnation,
In this realm and to express my divinity,
Express the love that I am and to create a beautiful universe in this physical realm.
I thank you universe for giving me a beautiful and habitable planet,
Beaming with life,
With immense flora and fauna,
The lush green plants,
Trees,
Grass and vegetation,
Millions of wonderful species of animals and insects and their vibrant colours which are keeping the ecosystem in balance.
I thank you for the various landscapes,
The mountains,
The plains,
The rivers and the vast oceans,
For the fresh air to breathe and to rejuvenate ourselves for providing us with food and water,
The wide variety of fruits,
Vegetables and minerals.
I thank you universe for providing me with this amazing body which will help me express my divinity and love.
Thank you for providing me with this brain to think,
Understand and plan my life so that I will be able to work towards serving others and myself and creating a life that I want to create.
Thank you for the eyes to see the beauty in this world and to listen to the delightful music of the world,
For my mouth to speak the words of love and to taste the delicious delicacies of the world.
Thank you for the nose to smell the fragrances and arms and legs to make movements which will change the world for better.
I thank you universe for taking care of me since my birth,
For providing me with people who took care of me,
Nourished me and made me grow into a healthy human being.
Thank you for the people who have provided me with love that I needed and for the people who have been critical of me which has made me understand myself,
Learn from my mistakes and grow my consciousness.
I thank you for surrounding me with so many people which gives me the opportunity to express my divinity and the love within me and to fill the lives of these people with love,
To make their lives better and to help them raise their consciousness.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to transform the lives of others for better.
I thank you universe for various beautiful moments in my life which have filled me with happiness and elation and also for the challenging situations in my life which have made me learn and grow and raise my consciousness,
Change my unhealthy patterns which has helped me in becoming a better human being and fully expressing my divinity in this physical realm.
I thank you for giving me this beautiful gift of meditation which has helped me calm down,
Be present in the moment,
To understand my own strengths and weaknesses and to remember my own true nature,
My true self and the divine within me.
And finally I thank you universe for giving me the power to create anything I want,
To manifest the life I desire,
To make me understand that I myself am the creator and that I have the power to create a beautiful,
Connected and loving universe in this physical realm.
You may now gradually open your eyes.
A regular gratitude practice rewires our brain to always stay positive and happy and to manifest a healthy body,
Healthy relationships and an amazing life for ourselves.
So if you like this prayer I would request you to make it a regular practice.
You may bookmark this audio to return to it regularly.
The best time to do this practice is just after waking up and just before going to sleep.
So I wish you a wonderful life,
Lots of love and blessings to you.
Take care and have a great day.
