Powerful Gratitude Meditation

I have experienced that a profound shift in your day can happen by taking one minute or less to focus on something you are grateful for. It works best when you pause immediately upon realizing you can do this. Your gratitude can be anything, for example, maybe you pause and feel gratitude for a light breeze of wind, a recent accomplishment, or a deep inhale and exhale.

This practice resets your mindset AND each time you pause for a moment of gratitude, you reinforce positive thinking. It becomes more automatic each time. Gratitude helps us see the reality of all the good things in our life, and it is said that when we are grateful, we are in our highest vibrational state - ease, peace, happiness.

To kickstart this practice, set an alarm to remind you to practice gratitude daily or associate it with a daily routine (e.g., making lunch, brushing your teeth).

Ground to Grow

We are moving with nature into a quiet and reflective season, a time to connect with spirit. Spirit can have any meaning that resonates with you, and your connection will also shift over time. As we venture into a season that promotes reflection, soul growth, and spirit connection we reach to the sky, like a tall tree. For the tree to grow so high, it must have the strong roots, deep into the earth. We have opportunities every day to connect with earth energy and groundedness -- it can come from being aware when you are doing everyday tasks like eating a meal, putting away dishes, housecleaning, or doing the laundry. These ordinary moments are the perfect time to practice awareness in your body, your movements, and thoughts.

Tools like meditation and yoga are versatile in that they can be applied in both the ordinary and extraordinary moments. Happy Thanksgiving, keep on practicing, and be well!

Ground to Grow Bedtime Meditation

Tools like meditation and yoga are versatile in that they can be applied in both the ordinary and extraordinary moments. A meditation while settling into bed:

• Reflect on your gratitudes for the day. These can be big or small gratitudes. If you journal, then write them down, otherwise, let your mind list them and spend some time soaking them in.

• Imagine the earth energy rising up your spine, to the crown of your head and then connecting with the energy of the universe.

• Ask for spirit or your dreams to bring guidance to your attention on a specific question you have, on the path to your highest good.
