Gratitude Meditation

​"Wear gratitude like a cloak and it will feed every corner of your life." -Rumi

When we focus on what is working in our life, and we are grateful for it -- we gain the energy to do more of that...and less of what isn't...think self-care 101 :)

Here’s a simple 2 step gratitude meditation:

1. Invest 5–10 minutes at the start or end of your day writing what you’re grateful for.

For example:
What great things happened today?
What are you thankful for in your life right NOW?
Who are you thankful for?

Maybe you are grateful for your morning cup of coffee, a hug from a loved one or furry friend, even hitting only green lights on the way to work.
​
It doesn’t matter how big or small; find as many things as you can to be grateful for and write them down.

2. Next, feel in your body NOW the experience of gratitude. Maybe it feels open, expansive, joyful. Set a timer for 2 minutes. Continue focusing on these feelings during your 2 minute meditation.

Practicing gratitude will make you healthier and happier, and it will be easier to focus on what’s good rather than what’s not working in your life.

listening to our body

3/5/2023

"Transformation is through the body, not away from it. This is why no true master has ever advocating fighting or leaving the body, although their mind-based followers often have." -Eckhart Tolle

Are we listening to our body? If not, why not?

Our physical body is a portal to what is really happening deep within.
By deep within I mean beyond the mind and it's thoughts/story/narrative.

For example, ever notice how physical pain causes us to "do" something when it no longer becomes tolerable?

The moment we feel "we have had enough of feeling sick/tired/achy/lonely" (i.e.: suffering) we can decide it's time to make a change.

Time for transformation!!!

Perhaps we decide to become conscious of our food habits and choose to eat better.

Or, maybe it's time to lace up those sneakers and exercise.

For some it's time to ease up on the physical body and get a massage or finally try yoga, etc.

And still for others there's a sense of the inner body that feels "off". Anxious, afraid, alone...endless cycle of emotional up and down.

Why does connecting with the physical body matter?

From a practical sense, we need it in order to live so why not take care of it the best we can?

On a deeper level, the physical body is a powerful doorway to access wisdom and therefore transformation. Can't change what you don't know/want to know :)

While some wisdom traditions may teach denying the body and/or ignoring the body, in my experience, it is the exact opposite.

​We must pay attention, listen, and learn. Then we apply those lessons in the form of action.

How do we access the physical body, in a deeper sense?

It varies.

One thread runs through all of it and that is the practice of presence...awareness. 

Some of us pay attention quite naturally and either choose to take action or not. Doing nothing is also a choice :)

Others of us engage in movement practices - yoga/running/walking outside/dance... to help us get in touch/feel the inner body.

And still others rely on meditation, massage or other forms of energy healing to assist in bring us into deeper awareness.

There's no right or wrong way.
And the "way" may change over time as you change. Nothing is permanent in this world of form. Ha!

As I say-- the only "wrong" way to meditate is simply to not do it all.

And so it is with life and dealing with change. 

We will either consciously choose to listen to our body or not. 

Regardless, life / transformation happens anyway. We can embrace it (peaceful path) or fight it (suffering path).

I don't know about you. I rather the peaceful path.

Namaste,
Stephanie

meditation magic

When meditation is mastered, the mind is unwavering like the flame of a lamp in a windless place. In the still mind, in the depths of meditation, the Self reveals itself." -Bhagavad Gita


Know thyself, it will set you free.

Meditation, practiced consistently is a wonderful mirror.

Why? Mainly when we sit with ourselves without distraction, the truth of what is bubbles up. 

Pleasant? Not necessarily, and that's okay, We can do hard things.

Freeing? Most definitely, when approached with compassion, curiosity, and commitment.

Meditation is a powerful tool to connect with all parts  of our self - body, mind, and spirit.
