In this week’s episode, I invite you into a guided meditation centered on gratitude as a living practice.
Gratitude often feels like something we should jot down in a journal at the end of the day—but in this practice, we explore gratitude as something alive in the body, the breath, and the present moment.
I share how my own gratitude practice began while driving—speaking out loud the things I was grateful for—and how it helped me stay balanced, even in challenging times. From there, I guide you through a meditation sequence: breath awareness, body scan, reflection on thoughts, and open awareness, each one anchored in gratitude.
Whether you’re new to meditation or deep in your journey, this practice is a reminder that gratitude is always available, right where you are.
