Today will open up to a sense of gratitude for our own spiritual being,
The spiritual dimension of our humanity.
The way that we experience Spirit,
Grace,
A higher power.
Whatever word you use for that,
I use the word God.
And this is about developing a sense of gratitude for our capacity to open up to Grace.
So when you're ready,
Closing your eyes and finding a comfortable posture for your body.
Allowing your breath to deepen and just sensing into this inherent spiritual part of you.
The part of you that is made for Grace.
That is made to perceive Grace,
To connect to Grace,
To open to Grace.
To love Grace,
To be loved by Grace.
And it might be that the part of our body that is most connected to this is our heart.
There's something about our heart that is almost like a spiritual organ of perception.
That can perceive these,
One could say spiritual vibrations.
The heart can perceive it.
The radio waves of Spirit,
It can perceive it,
It can respond,
It resonates with that.
So just sensing into your heart and its deepest knowing.
The way that it knows to connect to love,
To beauty,
To truth.
And just sensing this sense of gratitude for this capacity to open to Grace.
In so many ways we can just simply open to Grace through our breath.
Through our physical senses.
Just the sense of holding that's right now underneath you.
The way that the earth is upholding you right now.
The way that you sense the ground underneath.
It can be an empty way into Grace,
Into that great holding.
The ground of all being.
The sense of gratitude itself is so closely connected to our spiritual dimension.
We can just use that as an entry way to open to Grace.
Just knowing yourself to be open,
Grateful,
Connected to your heart.
Letting everything be the way it is.
Maybe taking this little prayer into your meditation to help me to open to Grace.
And if you're using this as an entry way you can take this prayer with you into your silent meditation.
Pause me now.
Put me back on when you're ready to come.
Put me back.
And before we end this meditation,
Just ending it with a gratitude for the Grace that is sustaining everything.
And for our ability to connect with that Grace within and without.
Everywhere.
So before you get up,
Just taking that with you,
That sense of Grace and gratitude.
Have a beautiful day.
