Being Grateful Helps to Worry Less

"Witness the stillness that exists - in the brief moments between each expanded 'in-breath' and each glorious letting go of 'out-breath'.  Be the stillness that exists after each exhalation and before you take a new 'in-breath'.  Let the motion of breath flow as you are present to it."

Gratitude for the Senses

(Guided by WITHIN Cofounder Hannah Knapp)

Practicing being grateful for the little things is one of the most powerful ways to shift your mindset about your life. There are many ways to practice gratitude; here's one that's particularly useful when you're winding down from the day. I'll guide you through bringing awareness to your body, and appreciating all that it does for you. In the longer version of this meditation, I'll move more slowly through your body, giving you more time and guidance to appreciate different parts of yourself.


Practice Gratitude

Join me in this meditation for witnessing present moment awareness - mindfulness.  Breathe in the light of a new day on its way to you.  Breathe this into your heart.  Hold gratitude of this day; for your life to be what you feel in your heart.  Let this gratitude and love inspire all of your choices as you begin this day; as you live each day.

Learn from this moment...and heal.

We find an easy, natural breathing pattern and attach an affirmation of gratitude, "Thank You". It's a general thank you, and a full on inquiry into what it is you can be thankful for.
