Fluffing the Gratitude Nest.
A poetic guided meditation of loving gratitude.
Good morning birds.
Welcome,
Dear heart.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for showing up right in this moment,
Just as you are.
Let us create together now a gentle glowing nest of gratitude,
Woven from the threads of love,
Kindness and quiet joy.
Settle into your body.
Let your breath become the breeze that carries you inward and homeward.
Dear body,
Thank you.
Thank you for holding me.
For breathing even when I forget to notice.
For beating this sacred heart of mine a thousand times each hour without complaint.
Hands for holding and creating.
Thank you,
Feet,
For each step upon this earth.
Eyes for witnessing beauty.
Ears for catching the whisper of the wind.
Thank you,
Nervous system,
For carrying all that I feel and all that I heal.
To every unseen hand that serves.
To the ones who care for others.
Who bring water,
Food,
Light and healing.
Who answer calls,
Clean spaces,
Teach,
Protect and comfort.
Thank you.
To my loved ones,
Known and unknown.
To those who have walked beside me,
In joy or in challenge.
Thank you.
Thank you,
Great earth.
Your soil that holds me.
Your roots that steady me.
Thank you,
Sky,
Vast,
Watching,
Open.
Thank you,
Sun,
For your faithful rising.
Thank you,
Moon,
For your quiet wisdom.
Thank you,
Rivers,
Trees,
Mountains,
Flowers.
Each a prayer in form.
I bow to the bees,
The birds,
The unseen mycelium,
The ancient stones,
The ocean's tides.
Every piece of nature,
A sacred whisper of life's love letter.
To the universe,
Infinite,
Mysterious,
Weaving every thread.
Thank you for both the ease and the edge.
The sweetness and the sorrow.
Thank you for all that has arrived and all that has left.
For what I understand and what I do not.
Thank you for this path,
Even when I stumble.
Thank you for the growth that follows the ache.
Thank you for holding me when I cannot hold myself.
Dear one listening now,
Thank you for your gentle heart,
For your healing presence in the world.
You are a part of this loving circle,
A thread in this nest of light.
May you feel held.
May you feel nourished.
May this gratitude flow through every cell of your being.
Reminding you,
You belong,
You matter and you are deeply loved.
In the space of thankfulness,
May peace settle softly around you,
Like a blanket of stars,
Like a breath that knows only love.
Thank you.
