Welcome to this gratitude meditation practice.

Whether you're new or experienced,

This session is designed to help you shift your focus from daily stress to the beauty of life's small,

Often unnoticed moments.

By taking a few moments to reflect,

You'll cultivate appreciation and bring more positivity into your day.

Find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed.

Sit down or lie down comfortably.

Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths,

Allowing your body to relax.

Bring your attention to your heartbeat.

You may place a hand over your chest if it helps.

Feel the steady rhythm and appreciate your heart for all the work it does,

Without you even thinking about it.

With each breath,

Think of something small that you're grateful for.

Perhaps the warmth of the sun,

The comfort of your clothing,

Or the support of a loved one.

Let each thought bring a gentle smile to your face.

On each inhale,

Silently say,

Thank you.

On each exhale,

Release any stress or tension.

Allow gratitude to flow through your body with every breath.

For the final few moments,

Sit in silence,

Feeling the warmth of gratitude fill your body.

No need to focus on any specific thought,

Just be with the feeling of appreciation.

When you're ready,

Take a deep breath and slowly open your eyes.

As you move forward,

Carry this sense of gratitude into your daily life.
