What does Thanksgiving look like for you? Amidst the pumpkin pie and potatoes, do you remember to give thanks?
Let this seasonal celebration be an opportunity to bring more gratitude into your life. Try this-
With your palms pressed together at your heart center, complete the following sentences for yourself after taking a few deep breaths.
I am grateful for myself because......
I am grateful for my life because.....
I am grateful for my partner/friend/family member because....(and tell them!)
I am grateful for my local community because...
I am grateful for my global community because....
Add any more categories that feel right. Write down some of your gratitudes if you like, or share them with a friend.
I notice that I can get caught up in what's not working. Practicing gratitude regularly helps me to see the bigger picture more and inspires more love for the life I'm living.
One of my favorite mantras is one to give thanks to the Source for ALL that we experience (even that which we don't understand....)
"Wahe Guru is an expression of complete ecstatic awe of the Divine" -http://www.spiritvoyage.com/
To express your awe, or to cultivate more appreciation of the Divine in all things, chant this mantra aloud or silently.

Namaste
