MIDL 23/36: Insight Meditation: Gratitude

Stephen Procter guides you in the insight meditation skill of cultivating gratitude to help your mind put down preoccupation with the future and abide in the present. When gratitude is not present, we lose sight of what is important within our life and start focusing on how we feel things should be. This creates a divide between reality and our desires causing suffering to arise within our life. Support articles and instructions for this guided meditation can be found in the Free Online MIDL Insight Meditation Course by checking Stephens Procter's teacher profile.

I am so glad I found this meditation. I am facing a medical procedure today that has brought about much fear. I am entering my day instead feeling grateful for my doctors, for the care and support I am receiving, and even for the health condition that is leading me to this moment. I find myself feeling softer, no longer averse, and truly wonder-filled and grateful for this new day of my life.

Beautiful meditation. Feel so much peace now. Much love and gratitude❤️🙏

So kind. I'm grateful for you, Stephen, thank you!

Thank you so much, Stephen! I’ve been doing MIDL 36 and enjoying it a lot! I had never done 45+ mins long sessions and it’s been quite a journey so far!

One question that came to mind recently is “ Any particular body movement you’d recommend after long sessions where my body might be a bit sore after sitting for so long?”

Thanks!!

This is an excellent meditation. I was not feeling too grateful. I did a search and Stephen's gratitude meditation came up. It was like putting on a different pair of glasses. Everything has a bit more color? I have followed Stephen's MIDL meditations over some years. They have been instrumental to developing my practice. Thank You Stephen 😊
