Gratitude for 4 Senses

What we usually overlook

Senses are always used but it is when it is frequently use it that we have the tendency to overlook them. They bring happiness and sadness and of various opposing qualities, but it is always important to be thankful that we experience life with them.

Gratitude for the under appreciated

Today's meditation was a great reminder to show gratitude for things that are so crucial to living a fully present life, but yet I am guilty of taking them for granted. Today I will look with new eyes, listen with intent, talk with sincerity and hopefully not smell anything bad😝 I've got an attitude of gratitude today!

Gratitude

Give thanks for the amazing bodies we have been given, and appreciation for being given a perfectly healthy body that can see, hear, smell and taste.

Gratitude

I learned that gratitude for our family and friends that helps me relax and keep my calm taking deep breaths and listening to music helps me relax.

Everyday things

I love that this starts your day with gratitude for things that most of us take for granted everyday.

Gratitude

I’m am grateful and thankful for the ability of being able to use these senses some take it for granted and others are born or lost there sense of ability... there is nothing more perfect than loving who you are the way you are that’s what this lesson taught me 💛🙏🏻.... we are never alone live in the moment and make it breathtaking to live in peace✌🏽Love Destiny’s Journey 💛❤️💚

'my sense happen always to me and I experience them with love .

Senses

I learned that my. senses are always available to enhance and ground my experiences.

Sense

I am grateful and have not paused to think about these senses for a long tim

Gratitude for the senses

I'm learning to be thankful for the senses of my body. While being aware and thankful of my senses, I realize that my senses create this experience I call life. I need to show my appreciation by embracing, applying and using them more. My senses combined with the vehicle of my body enables me to become the explorer, in every breath I take. I am thankful and blessed.

Focus on Gratitude

It is enjoyable to spend time focusing on gratitude for sensory intake, sensory perception, sensory reception.

5th Session

I learned to be grateful for all my senses. As I was starting to be grateful for my ears and sense of sound I heard some birds sing a beautiful song this morning. It was beautiful.

All Praise is to Allah

Alhmdolle’Allah for blessing me with my senses and blessing me with good health. It’s great to be mindful of our bodies and specially for our senses.

First session

We take for granted the senses we are given. It is important to be thankful for these gifts we have

Sense less

I see no scents, I hear no pain. I smell no doubt, hence I refrain To taste fear Since time is valuable I will adhere I'll see the beauty I'll hear the songs I'll smell the roses I'll savor them my life long (Don't ask why)

Gratitude

It is such an awesome feeling to be Thankful. It enhances a positive element which contribute to a life of meaningfulness and abundance. Life is Good!!!

Gratitude for senses

We take our 4 senses for granted and don’t even think about how much we rely on them in so many ways. Thank you for directing our attention and gratitude to them today.

Grateful

I️ learned that I️ have my senses about me and that’s something to show gratitude for even when I️ don’t feel great.

Gratitude

Lovely to hear and meditate upon the great work of my 4 senses! I am going to take this feeling with me into my day.

Gratitude Grows Every Day!!!

Taking time to express gratitude for all the beautiful things we see, hear, taste and feel in this world is an excellent way to remind yourself the possibilities are truly endless!!!

Gratitude

What a wonderful way to start your day, awakening the senses and appreciating them!

Appreciation for the Interface

The eyes, nose, ears, and mouth are ways we let the physical world enter our body and touch our inner self. I appreciate that.

Grateful for my Senses

This allowed me to take a moment to appreciate how well all of my senses work and the experiences that they make even more wonderful.

Appreciation of sensing the world

Sometimes we forget to appreciate how we can interact with the world through so many senses, even beyond the 4 focused in this meditation. I’m so grateful that I can see, hear, smell, and taste/speak, allowing me to experience the world in so many ways.

Sensory focus

By moving my awareness to my physical eyes and ears, then my whole head one part at a time, I gain better focus and total awareness. (My senses are the window between my self and the world and this feels like cleaning the window)

Five senses

Elementary, I was hoping that there would be gratitude for the proprioceptive sense as it is critical for meditation. Perhaps at a later session.

Ready for the day

Before I go sing and have to think and focus on muscle movement and technique and physiology, it’s lovely to take a moment and think about how my senses contribute to my being and my day when they are not “working” on my profession.

Awarem

Gratitude is a huge determining factor in how you live your life and being grateful for the fundamental things you have to make you who you makes you realize that without these things life would not be the same you wouldn’t have all the joy you have and for that reason you should take times to really appreciate what you have....eyes,ears,nose,mouth,

Grattitude

We have a lot to be grateful for each and everyday. Seeing, listening, smelling and tasting...makes LIfe good

Gratitude

I really liked going over the senses and thinking of all the ways I’m grateful for them. I would love to extend this into a longer meditation for the entire body. A practice of self love.

Gratitude for 4 Senses

I learned that it is important to take time out to think about simple things I am blessed to have such as my senses. I also learned that it is important to be grateful for my senses because they contribute to healthy living.

Grateful

this mediation helped me see the 4 senses clearly, and it helped me see the meanings of the 4 senses. I felt relaxed after this.

3rd Session

I learned that I need to appreciate all of my senses and be aware of them all to take in and appreciate the entire world.

Gratitude

Great way to start the day. Gratitude almost always puts a smile on my face. Somehow, it becomes easier to breath deeply when I’m in gratitude. Thank you.

12/27/17 Gratitude

Good morning! This meditation is a great way to start the day. Being thankful to our 4 senses and starting the day with a positive vibe 😘

GRATITUDE

I learned that we need to be grateful for everything we have. Even the simplest things like our eyes, ears, nose, and mouth are a huge blessing. life is beautiful and easy and good. I am happy and at peace. gratitude is what allows for us to live our most abundant lives!

Gratitude

Gratitude brings joy and can even bring laughter. With gratitude comes peace from knowing that what we already have brings us happiness.

Gratitude

The simplistic sensations of our eyes, nose, ears, and mouth are sometimes significantly neglected

It’s hard to be grateful sometimes

There are times when even though I feel grateful for the things I have, my anxiety will not allow me to be grateful. And that is why anxiety is hard to deal with, Because it is mean. It is mean to take away my ability to be grateful for all the things in my life, when I know I am grateful. It’s hard to know you are something and not be that thing at the same time. Anxiety is cruel.

Gratitude for You and I

I learned to be positive and grateful for my body. I want to be healthy, but I also want to love my body just the way it is.

Gratitude

It’s hard to remember how magnificent everyday actions like hearing and seeing are.

Senses

🌻✨🌞 Somestimes we take things for granted, things that are right on our faces, use everyday and help us live the life we created. This meditation helped me realize that all things beside, I’m still very lucky and should be more thankful everyday 🌞✨🌻

Day 1

It is important to thank and appreciate our healthy bodies that allow us to experience the journey of life

4 senses

Using the 4 senses to feel gratitude - eyes, ears, nose, mouth; something I have not truly experience before this meditation 😇

Faith and Patience

No matter how much you meditate, there will always be someone to test your faith and patience, which are both virtuous.

Gratitude

I should recognize that I am very lucky to have all of my senses, and feel gratitude towards them.

Check-Ins Are Good

I like the fact that this body check-in was a little different. I also like the fact that it was coupled with gratitude. We don’t usually do a check in for the senses. We also don’t usually think senses either. My father recently had radiation and chemo therapy for head and neck cancer; I believe it’s called CSS. His body does not make the saliva that used to. Taste is also been affected. Eating is not the joy that it once was. So I understand that it’s very easy to take for granted things so simple as eating, taste, saliva. We don’t realize the job they did until they no longer can do it.

Appreciation

Feeling so much appreciation for my body and senses. I aim to be aware and to cherish them for the rest of the day.

Eyes

Eyes are the window to your soul They let you connect with people the moment you stare into each others eyes

In Touch

I found myself overjoyed after this session as I realized how lucky I am to have these senses. A few years ago I had began losing the sense of touch, taste, and the ability to think rationally. Without knowing, I was going about my life, for 8 to a year, with diabetes. By the time I was assessed by a doctor I was knocking on death’s doorstep. Neuropathy had began to set in. I could barely stand. My mouth was so dry, no food was tasteful. In fact, anything with a hint of acidity burned my mouth. I was disease ridden and had a potassium level of .4. That was dangerous to put it lightly. I remember at the time that I had taken so much for granted and vowed, if I survived, to cherish every moment moving forward. Today I am grateful for our senses that we often expect to be there when we wake up. Stay in touch with your bodies’ many miracles.

Full awareness

This is a gentle reminder to feel things and be aware how life is beautiful. It is always beautiful. This is a message that we should be grateful of the life. Feel it, embrace it, nourish it.

Grateful

Grateful for my nose I can smell I can taste . I smell love and birch wood at the tip of my nose. In that I can taste it. It tastes bitter but my imagination says sweet. I love this smell.

Thankful.

I learnt that unless I sit down and wonder about all the things I might be grateful about, I won’t be able catch the pure essence of life: to live in the moment! I am grateful for all the things and opportunities that have passed my way and those myriad little lessons which have moulded me to become who I am today! 🌻

Gratitude for my Senses

I admit I was somewhat distracted during this meditation practice but I think it is a really good exercise that I must try again!

Grateful

It's nice to be grateful for things we usually take for granted

Finalizing Friday 2-23-18

Gratitude and 4 Senses. I have 1 day left before I leave for my trip and I sit in deep trance with this meditation. I thank my Higher Power for all things and without a breath I wouldn’t be alive. Thank you, Aura for starting my morning! Have a great day, Everyone!😀

Gratitude

My eyes, ears, nose and mouth combined make me whole. Their combination is power.

Gratitude

I need to focus on being more aware of the things I’m grateful for. The things I take for granted which are miracles. All my senses so I can experience wonderful things around me that are happening everyday.

My surroundings

I am so very grateful for seeing and smelling and also speaking and hearing all the wonderful sounds around me I’m blessed and thankful for all of my senses.

Feeling Thankful

I’m thankful for everything in my life, big and small. It all serves a purpose.

This one brings back your full awareness

This one makes you fully experience the now and let you enjoy all your senses which leaves an enormous feeling of gratitude, joy and excitement

Grateful for My Senses

I learned that you can be grateful for your senses, something I'd never thought about before. This meditation has made me grateful for my senses as they help me explore the wonders of my day.

Love these simple ones

So nice to have reminders that we can spend a few minutes in meditations simply noticing or appreciation something that is always with us, like our senses.

Gratitude to our senses

Simple, short yet powerful meditation to pay gratitude to our senses where most of us ignore😊

Gratitude for my senses

Grateful for seeing, hearing, smelling, and talking to my new grandson. 💙👶🏻

Feeling thankful 🙏🏼🙌🏼

Thankful for everything in my life and everything in life in general. it all serves a purpose big or small it all matters and it’s all so incredible! ❤️

Awakening

I noticed , that i am more grateful for everything in my life . I understood , that i have to enjoy even the tinniest things in world around me .. life will bring me the best , and i know it . ❤️

Gratitude for 4 Senses

I realized during this meditation that I take my senses for granted. It never occurred to me until doing this meditation to be thankful for hearing sounds such as the sounds of nature or beautiful music. It also never occurred to me to be thankful for the ability to hear sounds that could alert me to danger. I have only touched on one sense. I definitely recommend this meditation of gratitude.

Perception

My open eyes bring in beauty. My nose breathes in rich, relaxing odors. My ears detect what is behind me when I ride my bike. My mouth speaks eloquent, kind words so my needs can be met. Today I am grateful for a realistic perception of the world, my relationships, and myself.

Second Session

I learned that I have these senses for a reason and I should be thankful for it.

Gratitude

We are often our hardest critics and talking down on ourselves. My nose is too big/too small etc. Practicing gratitude can help changing that inner dialog

Appreciating...

While we use them all day, every day it is easy to over look our senses and how they help us to experience, connect to & interact with our world. It is easy to notice when one is not working right, but I intend to start appreciating all of them that are working at all in hopes of improving my overall awareness. ❤️👁👃👂🏻👅🍀

appreciation

i need to realize the gifts i’ve been blessed with and not take it for granted

Day 41

This one was harder to concentrate on. It’s a good practice to be grateful for the things God has given me, even when it’s as simple as my ears or mouth.

Senses

Realizing I am a fully functional human being and able to use all 5 senses reminds me to be grateful and considerate towards those who don't have that advantage.

Four ways to connect to peace via senses

When uncomfortable use the four senses and meditation to change of focus from anxiety/anger etc to shift to a mindset of gratitude and peace. Eyes (4 things I can see) Ears (4things I can hear) Nose (4 things I can smell) Mouth (4things I can taste) Be always grateful for these tools and use to my advantage

Sleepy

Feeling rather sleepy this morning so found it difficult to focus on my 4 senses without falling asleep 😅 I continued to come back to the breath to guide myself back to focussing on what I needed to focus on.

Sense of Gratitude

We often get so busy that we don’t even realize how much our senses enhance our overall experiences in life. Think for a moment...imagine how dull our experiences would be if we didn’t have our senses? In this wonderful meditation, we take some time to appreciate our four senses. These eyes enhance my experiences by allowing me to read, see colors and shapes. These ears enhance my experiences by allowing me to listen to music, both manufactured and natural. They allow me to sense danger. This nose enhances my experiences by allowing me to breathe and smell foods, such as fresh baked bread. This mouth enhances my experiences by allowing me to speak and taste foods. It also allows me to bring in fresh oxygen and release carbon dioxide out into the environment. Going through each of my four senses, I have a great appreciation and thus, a sense of gratitude for every one of them. Thank you, senses for giving me tools that enhance my awareness! Namaste 🙏🏻❤️☮️

Gratitude and Our Four Senses

To be able to use our four senses to be aware of everything around us is the best gift we have and we often take that for granted which we shouldn’t. We should be more grateful for our sense of sight, hearing, speaking , and touch

Gratitude

I felt able to focus and appreciate the simple gifts of my sense. I learned gratitude and love for my body.

how it made me feel

i liked how i was able to focus and center myself and be aware and appreciate the small things

Sences

I never thought to be grateful for something as simple as my sences. I’m learning already! Perhaps I need to be grateful for myself before I look outwards.

My First time in here

I have mutch lower Stress I am feling very good I like it very mutch

Grateful for my senses

I am grateful that my eyes allow me to see my loved ones and the beautiful colors the world has to offer. I am grateful for my hearing, because it helps me to engage in conversation. Additionally, reading is a difficult for me . Consequently, I take in a lot of information through hearing. I am grateful for My nose for allowing me to breathe in and out. I am also grateful for the ability to smell freshly baking desserts and to send the flowers. Finally, I am grateful that my mouth allows me to breathe ,taste, Express myself,, Laugh, scream , speak, and playfully tease those I love. This practice also reminded me how important the nose and mouth are in oxygenating the body. I am very grateful for that reinforcement. I noticed but touching the body parts associated with each sense helped increase my level of focus on the senses.

Gratitude for 4 senses

This made you think more about your eyes, ears, nose and mouth.

Relaxation

Just listening to the soft spoken words and background sounds is very relaxing

First time

I felt the calmness of the sounds. Thankful for my ability to hear.

Peace

I felt the peace and calm that all of the sounds bring through me being able to hear them. Thank you god for all my senses!

Calm

Focused on each sense I find there’s so many ways each impacts my being. Bringing more to mind I am grateful for

I felt calmer after and more grounded

I learned that paying attention to your senses calms you as you spend more time being in your body.

Nose

I learned that it is so important the sense of smell to me, and I was never grateful to my nose before. Nice and easy meditation.
