Soften into the beauty that surrounds you, with the one minute gratitude practice, to appreciate the beauty of being alive. The simplicity of the breath bringing life into the body, the song of a bird, all of these things are with us but we miss the opportunity to let them heal us. Take that opportunity now.

Breathe in,

Let your heart soften,

Your body settle,

Exhale,

Releasing anything that keeps you from this moment Right now there is something good,

Something simple and true,

Maybe the warmth of sunlight,

The steady rhythm of your breath,

The song of a bird,

What is telling you that you are here alive?

Breathe in again,

Letting gratitude rise like a tide,

Filling you,

Holding you,

And carry that feeling out into your world.
