Namaste and a very warm welcome to this gratitude prayer.
My name is Saqib and I welcome you with a lot of love,
With a lot of blessings from my side.
We do this gratitude prayer with an intention to make it a habit,
To practice it daily,
So that we can embed gratitude into our subconscious.
This helps us in leading a life of abundance,
Positivity and happiness.
The idea is not only to be grateful for happy situations or good situations or beautiful situations in our life,
But also be grateful for challenging situations or difficult situations.
It is easy to be thankful for these happy happy situations,
But it's actually not that easy to be thankful for difficult situations because we cannot see that how these difficult situations are helping us.
But if we look deeper we will see that every challenging situation is a blessing in disguise.
It helps us learn,
Grow,
Become patient,
Become strong and it helps us in many other ways.
So the idea is to be thankful for everything in existence.
And before we begin with the prayer,
Let's do a very short exercise.
Let's check our own gratitude levels and maybe then after the prayer we will again check our gratitude levels.
So I would request you to close your eyes just for a minute and ask this question to yourself,
How much gratitude am I feeling for life and existence?
And give yourself a rating from 1 to 10.
If you are really feeling grateful then you can give yourself a score close to 10,
But if you believe that still you have to work on your gratitude then you can maybe give yourself a lower rating in that.
So just ask this question to yourself,
How much grateful I am feeling for my life and existence?
And now let's begin with the prayer.
Maybe you can continue to keep your eyes closed.
You can sit in a meditative posture or a regular prayer posture.
And my suggestion is if you can place your hand on your heart for this prayer.
Because I will also be giving you time to feel those words deeply.
So let's begin now.
Dear Universe,
Thank you for giving me this gift of existence for this precious life and this opportunity to experience this physical realm.
Thank you for the beautiful blue and green planet Mother Earth bustling with life,
With human beings,
Flora and fauna in their full zeal and vigor,
And the wondrous insects that are keeping the ecosystem in balance.
I am grateful for the various landscapes,
The mountains,
The forests,
The rivers and the vast oceans.
The gift of fruits and vegetables to feed us and the fresh air to breathe.
I thank you,
Universe,
For providing me this space suit,
My body,
To experience life on this planet.
This body is my temple and I will respect it.
This body is my tool to express my divinity and love to other sentient beings on this planet so that I will be able to serve them.
I am also grateful for this gift of the amazing mind that I have.
With my mind,
I can do so many things that I could never even imagine.
I can literally create my own reality with my consciousness.
My goal is now to understand my conscious mind and my unconscious mind that is responsible for the majority of my manifestations.
I thank you for making me experience blissful moments of love with other sentient beings on this planet.
Since my childhood,
I have experienced this energy and I realized that the very fabric of existence is love itself.
And I share this feeling with another sentient being,
It's as if I am in heaven.
I am also grateful for the difficult situations in my life because I understand that this three-dimensional realm is a world of duality.
Happiness and pain go hand in hand.
I won't be able to experience the value of joy unless I experience sadness.
In fact,
Such challenging situations are opportunities for me to learn,
Grow,
Become patient,
Increase my strength,
Raise my consciousness and evolve my soul.
And therefore,
My dear universe,
My love,
I thank you for this pandemic because I know that this is a blessing in disguise.
Because I couldn't go out,
It has made me turn inward.
I thank you for this opportunity due to which I am getting to know myself.
There are many aspects of myself that I am unlocking.
I will make full use of this opportunity and by the end of this pandemic,
I will emerge as a superhuman.
I thank you for this marvelous gift of meditation that has helped me calm down,
Relax,
Delve into my self-inquiry and connect to my true essence,
My soul.
And finally,
I thank you,
Dear universe,
For making me realize that I have your infinite potential within me,
That I am your own reflection in this three-dimensional existence,
That I am not only a drop in the ocean but the entire ocean in a single drop,
That I am love itself and that I have the ability to create a beautiful,
United and loving world in this realm.
And now you can gradually open your eyes and come out of the prayer in your own time.
Thank you for joining me in this prayer and being my gratitude partner.
After this prayer ends,
Maybe you can close your eyes just for a minute again and check your gratitude levels.
And practice gratitude every day and check your gratitude levels every day.
We definitely want to reach a 10 in gratitude.
I hope you found some value in this gratitude prayer.
Have a wonderful day.
Take care.
Namaste.
And just know that I love you.
