Inside this practice
- A comfortable position and a deep breath in, then a full exhale.
- One thing you are grateful for on each exhale.
- A stretch of silence to continue the practice on your own.
- A closing breath expressing your deepest gratitude, ending in "Namaste."
Getting the most from it
- Do it before you look at your phone.
- Name something specific, such as a person, a meal or a quiet moment. Specific lands better than general.
- Pair it with the same spot or cup of tea each morning so it becomes a ritual.
Gratitude is one of the most beautiful energies. It helps us deepen into what we already love in our life.
Frequently asked questions
How long is this meditation?
2 minutes 52 seconds, so it fits under three minutes.
Is it only for mornings?
It is made for the start of the day, but it works any time you want a quick reset toward appreciation.
What if I cannot think of anything to be grateful for?
Start small: warm water, a working lamp, a breath. The practice is the noticing, not the size of the thing.
Do I need to close my eyes?
Only if it feels comfortable. A soft gaze toward the floor works as well.
Practice a little each day.
