Welcome to today's guided autumn gratitude meditation.
Today, we are going to be appreciating the small things in life.
Find a comfortable position and close your eyes.
Breathe deeply, noticing the air entering your lungs, refreshing you.
And breathe out, noticing the heat of the air as it exits your body.
Breathing in...
And as your breathe out, let go of any stress from the day.
Breathe in...
And out, releasing any worries.
Let's practice gratitude.
Turn your attention now to a person in your life that you are grateful for.
This could be a child, a friend, a co-worker...
Think of this person, their face, their voice, their mannerisms...
Send them love and gratitude for being in your life.
Think now of a place that you are grateful for.
Imagine this place, what it feels like to be there...
Give it thanks for being part of your life.
Think now about something that you have accomplished recently.
What are you proud of yourself for?
Focus on this accomplishment...
How you got here and what it took to do so...
Send yourself love and gratitude for this accomplishment.
Breathe deeply, connecting again with your breath...
Feeling the gentle rise and fall of your chest...
The air entering and exiting your lungs...
Move about in any way that feels good...
Slowly coming back to your body in this time and space...
And whenever you are ready, slowly open your eyes.
