I like this meditation because it hits the basics nicely. I like to go back and just be grateful for the food in my belly and the comfortable home I am so lucky to have! I’ll be saving this one as well.

Inviting in Goodness
One of the simplest, yet very profound ways to become happy is through the practice of gratitude. The practice of gratitude is all about shifting our perspective on what we already have rather than what we lack. In this short gratitude meditation, Brandon brings us back to the basics of life. In doing so, we become grateful for things in our life that are easily overlooked. Putting on my headphones, I brought my awareness to my breath. Slowly breathing in fresh air, pausing for a moment and then slowly releasing air on my exhale, tension began melting off my muscles. Listening to Brandon’s words, I began inviting in goodness. Sitting here in this moment, I am grateful for my breath. Sitting here in this moment, I am grateful for waking up to live another day. Sitting here in this moment, I am grateful for this body. Sitting here in this moment, I am grateful for the sleep I received last night. Sitting here in this moment, I am grateful for the clothes I have on to cover my body. Sitting here in this moment, I am grateful for the food in the refrigerator and pantry. Sitting here in this moment, I am grateful for my loved ones. Sitting here in this moment, I am grateful for the opportunities this day will bring to learn and grow. Sitting here in this moment, I am grateful for this amazing moment to pause, inviting in goodness. Inviting in goodness isn’t difficult, it’s just a matter of shifting our perspectives. In being appreciative for what we are given, we open the door for infinite possibilities to enter our life and thus, inviting in even more goodness into our lives. It’s that simple! Namaste 🙏🏻❤️☮️

Reading about the wars and sicknesses are detrimental to my well being and relaxing and emphasizing the positives in my life are wiser and better for my well being

So Much Abundance
This session was a magical start to the day. I found my list to be so much longer than I thought. This helped me focus on all the amazing people, places, connections, and things in my life that I cherish and am so lucky to have.
