Allow yourself to have what you WANT, by wanting what you have.

1. In this moment, where is the first place that I find gratitude? 2. What in my past am I grateful for that brought me to the gratitude that is present now? Gratitude is not something that can be forced or manufactured. We put ourselves in position to receive it by cultivating present moment awareness, and attitudes of compassion, kindness, and humility. This practice asks you to choose any moment (perhaps right now) to seek gratitude. When it arrives and you feel the expansion in your body (maybe in your heart space or your whole torso), or the warmth in your limbs, trace the moment backwards to find gratitude for choices or happenstances that led to the current moment of gratitude.

Embodiment is attuning to our own aliveness, and to the Rhythms of life around us. This meditation invites you to lean into the space after completion and before creation.

Embodiment returns us to our natural state. When we engage in communion with the organic life around us, we remember who and what we are. Below is a short video of me and dahlia. I'd love to see and hear how you are communing with our natural world.

Our breath is the way in, the way back to our humanity. Try this meditation and practice until it feels natural and organic.
