  4. 10 Min Gratitude Meditation: Open your Mind and Heart

    10 Min Gratitude Meditation: Open your Mind and Heart

    In this 10 minute gratitude meditation, you will experience feeling grateful. Practicing this is one way how to improve mindfulness. We focus on feelings of gratitude and appreciation as the object of our attention. We 'mindfully' notice what thoughts, feelings and sensations come up when we focus on gratitude and appreciation. This meditation is informed by principles of neuroscience to increase positivity. Gratitude practice is valuable because it helps you with a growth mindset. You see what is positive and working in your life. You open your mind and heart to an awareness of possibilities. You realize the wealth of good things that surround you daily. You can transform your attitude with gratitude practice; it's proven in studies to increase happiness, well being and health. Meditation is a skill. The more that you practice, the more that you improve. This is a great skill if you have never meditated before. Listening to this is a great way to start the day with positivity. If you say, "I've never meditated before, but I want to start. Where do I begin?" If you're wondering, "Why can't I meditate?" Or, if you simply want to know how to get better at meditation, this video will help you. I have years of experience teaching people how to start a meditation practice. In this video, I provide you with a simple practice that you can do anywhere; it will help to focus attention, increase calm and help you clear your mind of stressful thoughts.

  5. 15 min Gratitude Meditation Guided: Finding Joy Amid Difficult Times

    15 min Gratitude Meditation Guided: Finding Joy Amid Difficult Times

    This is a 15 minute meditation that focuses on connecting with gratitude in my series of meditations to avoid emotional overwhelm and anxiety. When current events are upsetting, meditating can calm your mind, quiet racing thoughts, settle anxiety and help you to feel more grounded and centered. Emotions can start to overwhelm. It's important to find calm in the storm. A guided meditation that focuses on gratitude and all the good things in your life can help to shift what you see, especially during difficult times and much news is bad. This 15-minute guided meditation focuses on connecting with positive feelings of gratitude and appreciation for those who have supported you specifically and then generally to all the things that we can be grateful for -- all the various elements that make our lives possible. This helps lift your mood and give you energy. I chose the outer space background because sometimes it helps to take a really big picture view to step back and realize how much we're blessed to be supported by friends, family, community, networks of workers, our ancestors, nature—all the elements that make our very life possible—are things that we can pause to appreciate. Sometimes, when we face so much negative news, it's hard to find reasons to feel positive and to make time for appreciation of all that is good. But, it's precisely at those times when life is so challenging that it's more important than ever to acknowledge all the good in your life and extend appreciation for all that makes your life possible. Gratitude can be very empowering, particularly when things are difficult. Meditation practice can also boost happiness and boost immunity. Studies show that people who practice meditation are less likely to get sick and if they become sick, tend to be sicker for shorter times.
