COURSE

Awakening To A Life Of Gratitude

With Tony Brady

In this course, we will give thanks for the wonder of existence and of our existence. We will give thanks for the amazing gift of each new day, the workings of our bodies. We will look with gratitude at planet Earth, the home of each of us. We will be reminded to be grateful for the people who love us unconditionally and the many people who support us. We will express appreciation for the gifts of communications and learning and be reminded of some of the wonders of the modern world. Finally, we will discover the benefit of keeping a gratitude journal to make us more appreciative of all the many benefits we receive in our lives.

Lesson 1

The Wonder Of Existence

We look with wonder and appreciation at this amazing existence into which we have been born. How is it that we see something instead of nothing? Existence is a phenomenon that leaves us lost in wonder.

Lesson 3

The Wonder Of Each New Day

At night we surrender ourselves to a period of rest. How grateful we must be to awake to the light of a new day.

Lesson 4

The Wonder Of The Human Body

Day after day our body works as an integrated unit. Its processes for the most part operate without our intervention. What a gift!

Lesson 5

The Wonder of Planet Earth

We live out our lives on a rock circling a fiery star. We are all astronauts on planet Earth. Can you believe our good fortune?

Lesson 6

The Wonderful Fact That We Are Loved

How amazing it is that people know us and love us unconditionally. With this love never in doubt, how we can take it for granted?

Lesson 7

The Wonderful Support We Receive

We are each part of an interdependent and interconnected web of life. In this session, we give thanks for those people who support our well-being.

Lesson 8

The Wonder Of Communication & Learning

Thanks to language, the experiences and lessons of human life can be passed from one generation to the next. Without this, each of us would have to reinvent the wheel.

Lesson 9

The Wonders Of The Modern World

Even our most recent ancestors would marvel at all the things we take for granted in this wonderful world. Let’s be grateful for these everyday miracles.

Lesson 10

The Gratitude Journal

How can we remind ourselves to be grateful? In this final session, we look at practices such as the keeping of a gratitude journal.

Thank you for this wonderful course. I appreciate the very accessible short classes. Suggesting actionable steps in the last session to keep me engaged in a gratitude practice is very helpful. I will begin today. I am also consciously practicing Meister Eckhart’s prayer throughout the day as much as my memory reminds me to do so.

This is a beautiful daily reminder of the benefits of living from a space of gratitude. Since beginning and reflecting on each day in gratitude, I have noticed subtle and significant changes in how I perceive my world. Thoughts are the process by which we create our lives. If I want my creations to be beneficial, then I must choose thoughts that will create the effects I desire to see. Thank you for shining your light Tony. Nameste and so it is.

I could listen to this all day. I am so thankful for this course and the way he presents it. Thank you, often I’m off put by certain voices or music/loud annoying dongs , thankfully no dongs and soothing voice/music. I will be bookmarking this for additional listening.
