Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Let yourself get into whatever position makes you feel best
- 0:05Speaker 1: right now, really listening to that miraculous body of yours,
- 0:16Speaker 1: letting the eyelids softly close when you're ready, and inviting
- 0:23Speaker 1: awareness to gather in as you begin to observe your
- 0:30Speaker 1: breath and the sensations it makes as it flows in
- 0:40Speaker 1: and out of your body. In fact, if you feel
- 0:58Speaker 1: cold as you observe the breath, you can say hello
- 1:02Speaker 1: to it. How often do you greet that which is
- 1:11Speaker 1: always there for you, giving you your life for sustenance.
- 1:27Speaker 1: You feel a sense of appreciation for the air and
- 1:32Speaker 1: your body and how they work together, and you simply
- 1:48Speaker 1: observe how this sense of appreciation feels within you, and
- 2:06Speaker 1: you begin to appreciate that feeling of appreciation. How beautiful
- 2:12Speaker 1: and wonderful it is that you get to access and
- 2:17Speaker 1: experience the feeling of appreciation. It's a beautiful feeling. How
- 2:28Speaker 1: lucky are you that you get to feel it? Say
- 2:33Speaker 1: thank you to feelings of thankfulness, and let your body
- 2:43Speaker 1: relax more deeply into these feelings. As you bring to
- 2:52Speaker 1: mind something from your life, anything that gives you even
- 2:56Speaker 1: stronger feelings of appreciation right now, It doesn't matter how
- 3:02Speaker 1: great or small it may seem. Whatever comes to your
- 3:07Speaker 1: mind and heart right now, receive it with a generous
- 3:14Speaker 1: level of gratitude. Imagine whatever this is becoming just the
- 3:27Speaker 1: right size and shape to live gently in your heart.
- 3:34Speaker 1: As you feel your heart expanding with greater levels of appreciation,
- 3:55Speaker 1: invite your body to let it be as natural as
- 3:58Speaker 1: your breathing. Of course, there is always going to be
- 4:12Speaker 1: more to appreciate. Of course, you are worthy of greater
- 4:20Speaker 1: levels of appreciation, just like you are worthy of your
- 4:25Speaker 1: next in breath. What if today it's possible for you
- 4:34Speaker 1: to experience an expansion in gratitude. What if today it's
- 4:44Speaker 1: possible that you are able to find gratitude in tiny
- 4:49Speaker 1: little things. What if something has guided you here to
- 4:56Speaker 1: this moment to help align you with greater levels of
- 5:02Speaker 1: appreciation in your heart and in your body in such
- 5:09Speaker 1: a way that permanently opens you up to a greater
- 5:13Speaker 1: ability to see, sense, perceive, and align with deeper feelings
- 5:21Speaker 1: of gratitude, ease, and appreciation from here on out. Let
- 5:35Speaker 1: your body relax into this possibility, welcoming it in as
- 5:42Speaker 1: something that is natural for you, just like the air
- 5:47Speaker 1: your breathing, Inviting muscles and face and forehead to be
- 6:04Speaker 1: slack and heavy, letting shoulders be relaxed and at ease,
- 6:21Speaker 1: inviting any other muscles that wish to relax right now
- 6:26Speaker 1: to do so, feeling both ease and appreciation, letting both
- 6:39Speaker 1: feelings live effortlessly within you. I am worthy of feeling
- 7:15Speaker 1: deep feelings of appreciation and total ease. I let these
- 7:29Speaker 1: feelings be comforting as I rest in them. All is well.
- 7:51Speaker 1: Let your next in breath and outbreath be extra long
- 7:54Speaker 1: and deep, moving at your own pace. And whenever it
- 8:00Speaker 1: is that you reach the end of that long exhalation,
- 8:05Speaker 1: just let the breath return to whatever pace feels best
- 8:10Speaker 1: as you simply allow yourself to observe your breath and body,
- 8:17Speaker 1: being present with both, letting whatever you notice just be
- 8:27Speaker 1: Relaxing into this feeling of ease and total gratitude, begin
- 9:30Speaker 1: to express thankfulness to yourself, thanking yourself for being here,
- 9:43Speaker 1: thanking the feelings of gratitude within you for being here,
- 9:53Speaker 1: Thanking your body for any ease and relaxation. It was
- 9:59Speaker 1: a to give you an experience during this practice, and
