Thank you for meditating with me today!

Meditation Script:

Today, I invite you to keep a pen and notebook close by for the journaling portion of

our gratitude meditation. When you’re ready, settle into a comfortable place in

your body. Feel supported and relaxed. Enjoy a few deep breaths in and out

through your nose as you settle in, surrendering to the support beneath you. Feel

your belly balloon and that expanse through front and back ribs as you breathe

in. Feel your belly pull softly in, your ribs returning to center as you fully

breathe out. Deep breath in. Deep breath out.

Closing your eyes, bring to mind a person you are thankful for, living or passed. Bring to

mind this person’s face, perhaps imagining the way they speak, their body

language and unique mannerisms. Consider what it is about this person that you

are thankful for. Perhaps remember the support, love, kind words, encouragement.

Here, say to yourself, “I am thankful for [name that person]. I am thankful for. I am

thankful for.”

Now, gently blink open your eyes, and take a moment to journal about this person you

are thankful for. You might use this time to write a gratitude note to deliver to

them later. Perhaps you list the attributes of this person, or recall a memory

and describe a moment where you felt or even expressed gratitude to them. Write

down the sensations in your body, emotions, thoughts that arrive as you consider

your gratitude for them. Whatever you choose to write about, position your body

in a comfortable way for writing. Breathe.

Feel free to pause here to continue writing. As you set aside your paper and pen, return

to however you would like to position your body. Deep breath in. Deep breath out. Move

through your day or into rest thankful for the people in your life. Thank you

for meditating with me. Peace.
