Speaker 1: Hello everybody, welcome back to the podcast. Today, we're going
Speaker 1: to do a beautiful gratitude meditation and this has been
Speaker 1: requested by quite a few women and we just think
Speaker 1: it's something that everyone can incorporate more into that day
Speaker 1: to day life. More gratitude, more calm, more nervous system relaxation.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna get straight into it, all right, if
Speaker 1: you're driving, maybe wait to your home or pull over arts.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go for six minutes. So getting in
Speaker 1: a really comfortable position, taking some big breaths wherever you are,
Speaker 1: were you to take a moment to arrive. This is
Speaker 1: your time, just for you, This is your space.
Speaker 3: Together, we are going to breathe to ground and to
Speaker 3: really center ourselves in the powerful energy of gratitude.
Speaker 1: Now, gently close your eyes if that feels safe, and
Speaker 1: allow your body to settle in how deeply through your
Speaker 1: nose and exhil slowly through your mouth.
Speaker 3: Feel your shoulders softened and inhale again. Feel your lungs,
Speaker 3: your heart, your belly, and exhale, letting go of any tension,
Speaker 3: any worry, or anything that is not serving you right now.
Speaker 1: Let's do one more big breath together. Inhale, you pause
Speaker 1: and exhale.
Speaker 3: Beautiful, Now bring your awareness to your body. Feel the
Speaker 3: ground beneath you, strong, steady and supportive. You are held,
Speaker 3: You are safe, You are here.
Speaker 1: Let gratitude begin in your body. I want you to
Speaker 1: thank your feet for every single step they've taken you
Speaker 1: to get you to where you are right now.
Speaker 3: Keep breathing and start to thank your legs and your
Speaker 3: hips and your strong foundation for holding you upright in
Speaker 3: this world. Can start to thank your hands, your arms
Speaker 3: for all they've created, held and healed.
Speaker 1: Ready to thank your heart for beating, for loving, for
Speaker 1: being so resilient through all that you've been through. You
Speaker 1: are a living, breathing miracle.
Speaker 3: Now begin to call into your mind the things that
Speaker 3: you are grateful for. Big or small picture the one
Speaker 3: thing that brings you the most joy. Maybe it's the
Speaker 3: sound of laughter, the warmth of sun on your skin,
Speaker 3: or the embrace of someone who truly, truly sees you.
Speaker 3: Really want you to hold that image in your heart.
Speaker 1: As you're holding it, feel it expands. Now bring to
Speaker 1: mind a woman in your life, could be a sister,
Speaker 1: a friend, a mentor someone who's really lifted you up,
Speaker 1: and feel the gratitude rise in your chest for her
Speaker 1: presence in your life.
Speaker 3: I want you to whisper the words thank you in
Speaker 3: your heart so the gratitude that you have for this person,
Speaker 3: allow it to feel that love expanding from your heart.
Speaker 3: And now turn that love inward. Think of one thing
Speaker 3: about yourself that you were grateful for.
Speaker 1: Is it your strength? Is it your intuition, your kindness,
Speaker 1: maybe your fire? Say it in your mind, I am
Speaker 1: grateful for who I am, and let that truth echo
Speaker 1: through you.
Speaker 3: As you feel that gratitude for who you are today.
Speaker 3: Let's speak some affirmations together. You can repeat them in
Speaker 3: your mind or out loud if you feel called to.
Speaker 1: I am enough exactly as I am. I honor the
Speaker 1: woman I've been and the woman I'm becoming.
Speaker 3: I radiate gratitude, power, and love. I trust the path
Speaker 3: that I am on.
Speaker 1: I am grounded in grace and rising in strength. Every
Speaker 1: single day I grow more aligned with my truth.
Speaker 3: I am grateful for this life and for the woman living.
Speaker 1: In Begin to bring your awareness back to this moment,
Speaker 1: right here, right now, I want you to slowly such
Speaker 1: a weird your fingers and your toes.
Speaker 3: And just take one more deep, nourishing breath in and
Speaker 3: exhale gently, really let your shoulders sink all the way down,
Speaker 3: and when you're ready, you can open your eyes.
Speaker 1: That was so beautiful and know that this calm, beautiful, grateful,
Speaker 1: inspired energy is always there to access. Sometimes we just
Speaker 1: need to fully slow down, take some breaths in, and
Speaker 1: connect back with our heart and our body and just
