It's #gratefulfriday

The thing about gratitude is that you can access it at time, in any moment no matter how chaotic the world outside you is. It helps you remember who you are at your very core and to live from this place.

No matter what is going on around you, you can move into gratitude in any moment. It will help you find your strength, wisdom, and courage, When you have thankfulness for life; it links you to your deeper powers and lets you rest in them. You may find yourself bracing yourself against the constant barrage of worries and stress coming at you every day. To protect yourself you close your heart off to the magic of the day. But you can choose to turn inward and connect to your breath, body, senses. They will guide you into a place of of knowing and feeling and help they help you to relax and center.

The great secret of gratitude is that it is not dependent on external circumstance. It’s always within you and you can turn to it in any moment, no matter what’s going on around you. It helps you connect to your basic right to live. Just like the breath does. It is part of who you are. Gratitude is the seed that can flower into everything you need to know.

Let's try this meditation to help us connect ot our hearts and the strength within. As you begin to follow your breath in and out, notice your body settling in and your mind gently calming. And now being to repeat the Sanskrit mantra "Om Shanti Shanti Shanti," which means means Om Peace Peace Peace. Om is the universal vibration. You can repeat this silently or repeat it 3 times out loud, then whisper it 3 times, and then repeat it silently. Allow the vibration to blend with your breath.

Much Love,
