Welcome to this relaxing session focused on gratitude.
Get yourself into a nice comfortable position.
You can be seated on a chair,
On the floor,
Lying down.
Whatever feels best for you.
Allow yourself to be at ease and pain-free for the duration of your meditation.
Take your time getting comfortable.
Move and shift and settle into a peaceful space.
Support yourself with props or blankets if you need.
When you're ready and settled,
Elongate your spine.
Lengthen your neck.
Open your chest.
Feel space across your collarbones.
Allow your shoulders to relax.
And if it feels okay,
Gently close your eyes and observe your breath.
Allow your arms to lay peacefully by your sides.
Maybe the hands are on the belly.
Again,
Wherever it just feels right.
The arms heavy and relaxed.
The head heavy and relaxed.
Once you find your moment,
Take some deep breath in through your nose.
And exhale from your mouth.
In through the nose.
And exhale from the mouth.
Allow yourself to begin to feel a deep sense of gratitude about things in your life.
Breathing in and out.
Check in and reflect on the things that you have that you are grateful for.
Something you have that maybe you use regularly or something that you just know that you couldn't live without.
Bring into your mind those things you're grateful for.
It could be anything at all.
Breathe deeply into your thoughts and as you imagine these things,
Exhale and whisper to yourself,
Thank you.
Breathe in and out.
Thank you.
Express gratitude for those people you know.
Allow this person or these people and even animals to rise into your mind.
See them clearly.
Breathe deeply into your imagination.
Maybe you can even hear how they sound.
Picture what they look like.
What they're wearing.
The expression on their face.
As you breathe out,
Whisper to yourself,
Thank you.
Breathe in.
And out.
Become grateful for yourself,
Your health,
Your wisdom,
Your kindness.
Be grateful for those times you stood up for yourself or for someone else.
Be grateful for your ability to love others.
Breathe in deeply.
Imagining that you can give yourself a big hug.
And whisper thank you.
Breathe in.
And out.
Thank you.
Breathe in and out.
Now express gratitude for the smallest things.
Whatever small things pop into your mind,
Be grateful for them.
Doesn't matter what it is.
Breathe in again,
Feeling the importance of even the little things.
And exhale,
Whispering to yourself,
Thank you.
Take a nice breath in and be grateful for your breath.
Bringing you life.
Letting your breath just fall away when you exhale.
Feel your body sinking deeper into relaxation as you breathe.
Breathing in.
And out.
Take some time to focus on the world around you and feel even more gratitude.
All you have to do is think about the things you're grateful for and then they expand and grow.
Live the present moments without obsession by being connected all the time to gratitude.
Really feel yourself as you are,
Naturally.
Not as you expect you should be just be.
Just be thankful for who you truly are.
Just be.
The fact is that when we can genuinely enjoy the things we have,
We don't need anything else.
We already have everything we need to make the most of our time here on Earth.
Be grateful for your existence,
Because you are here.
You are present and you are everything that the world needs right now.
Bring into your mind's eye all of that which swallows your heart with love.
When is the last time you felt goosebumps over a beautiful moment?
Bring it into the mind's eye.
Focus on the senses.
Sight,
Sound,
Taste,
Touch,
Smell.
Feel that tingle on your skin.
That's the uncontrollable response to being in the presence of beauty and all of the awareness of love and gratitude.
Be in that moment of love and gratitude.
Breathe in and out.
Just be.
Now breathing in and as you breathe,
Feel the beauty of all these things growing inside of you.
Breathe out and allow these things to grow so large that they force out anything that takes your energy and your peace.
And even those things that threaten the brilliance of your spirit.
Bring all of your awareness to your heart and the love that you carry with you for all of these things you sometimes might forget you have.
You carry them with you at all times within your heart.
And as you continue to breathe,
Recognize the strength that focusing on these things brings you.
And imagine your brightness intensifying to the maximum degree.
When you breathe out,
You recharge.
Relaxing and breathing.
In and out.
Allow the brightness to build with every breath in.
See the brightness within you.
Now hear yourself saying these words with conviction.
I am grateful for this moment.
I embrace each day with gratitude.
I am grateful for my dreams and desires because I know that they are manifesting right now.
Every day I am more mindful of the small blessings that I should be thankful for.
I am so grateful for discovering my ability to create the reality I love.
Each day I am grateful for the beauty of life.
I am grateful for the privileges that I have been blessed with.
I am thankful for each and every day.
I am thankful for my ability to achieve anything I put my mind to.
I am grateful for my friends and my family.
Things keep getting better and better.
I am so grateful for that.
Give thanks right now to anything and everything you can possibly think of that you are grateful for.
By doing so,
You are increasing prosperity not only for yourself,
But for the world too.
When you are ready,
Gently draw your awareness to the present moment.
Begin to slowly wiggle the fingers and the toes.
Softly open the eyes.
Go about your day with a deep sense of gratitude.
