This is a meditation to invoke gratitude and connection. This is more than simply thinking of things we are grateful for in our mind but moving into the felt sense of experiencing gratitude within. The visceral experience of gratitude in our body. We have probably heard or seen the research on how gratitude changes our brains. In this meditation, we will also use the experience or feeling of gratitude to reduce stress, increase vitality, and overall balance to our nervous system so that we feel more connected to ourselves and those around us. 

While we can practice this meditation at any time. This may be a lovely way to start our day by setting our intentions on the positive and of course by practicing self-care through our meditation practice. 

Feel free to practice this meditation either lying down or seated.
