Welcome,
Soul friend,
To meditation on gratefulness with Sufi poet and mystic,
Molana Rumi.
Find a comfortable and quiet place to sit.
Light up some candles.
Burn incense or sage or anything to purify your sacred space for meditation.
Maybe take a paper and a pen first and start writing about anything you feel grateful about in your life.
Go to every little detail and remember any little things that you have been gifted with in your life.
Once done,
Then slowly get ready for your meditation and close your eyes.
Open your chest and bring your spine upward.
Take a few deep breaths.
Inhale deeply through your nose and exhale with a sound.
Repeat a few times.
Then take deep gentle breaths through your nose and gently also breathe out through your nose again or your mouth if you feel more comfortable.
Relax all your body parts.
Now observe your breathing as it is.
Observe your touts as clouds passing the sky without any resentment,
Attachment and analyzing.
Just let them go and go back again and again to your breath.
And become more and more relaxed.
Just be here and now.
Be with your breath.
Relax all your muscles and just stay alert with your breath present.
Today we are going to meditate on gratefulness.
To be grateful in life is a gift you are giving to your own heart.
By feeling grateful,
You inhale love from the air and exhale your gratitude for each and every exhale.
Each time you breathe out is a reminder that you are alive.
And no matter in what situation you are in,
You have the gift of life.
You have everything in you to live a life of your full potential.
Open your heart to greatness.
See the beauties in the world and be grateful for everything you see.
Yes,
There are things you are not happy about or there are things happening in the world which might hurt or disturb you.
But remember,
You always have the choice to choose to act upon your awareness and compassion rather than reacting to things and matters in the world.
Feel grateful for all as all are part of life.
Now take a deep breath in and inhale love into your lungs.
Then exhale by sending your gratitude into the world.
Love.
I'm grateful.
Take a deep inhale in love and exhale in gratitude.
Keep on going and each time inhale in love and exhale by sending your gratitude into the world.
I'm grateful.
I'm grateful.
I'm grateful.
I'm grateful.
Now let's listen with our hearts to the sweet words of beloved Sufi master,
Molana Rumi.
In this poem,
He recalls every atom who is dancing in the ecstasy of divine's love.
He calls upon the day and reminds us to be grateful for each moment of this dance of life as all are part of divine's plan.
This secret only a grateful heart knows.
Arise all day.
The atoms are dancing.
For her the spheres and wind are dancing.
Souls ecstatic with joy are dancing.
I'll whisper in your ear where they are dancing.
Every atom hovering in the air.
Look at it with the eyes of mercy.
As it is insane for the sun as we are for the beloved.
Every atom happy or sad is dazzled in the unquestionable shining sun.
The stars are shining in the sky.
The stars are shining in the sky.
The stars are shining in the sky.
The stars are shining in the sky.
The stars are shining in the sky.
The stars are shining in the sky.
I am so grateful for your beautiful heart,
Your presence,
And showing up here for yourself and trusting me to be your guide in your journey back to the joy within your soul with a grateful heart.
Namaste.
Have a beautiful day and feel grateful for each and every breath you take.
Let each breath be a reminder of the gift of life.
Cherish each moment and feel grateful.
I am so grateful to you my friend.
I love you.
You are precious.
Namaste.
