Practice Gratitude
Written by Maureen Brennan Mercier
Practice gratitude daily as a discipline to honor your spirit by uplifting you on your spiritual path. Gratitude is appreciation, thankfulness, acknowledgement, recognition, rendering credit and praise.
Folded hands with palms facing each other or prayer pose is the body language we use when we practice gratitude. For some it is falling on one’s knees that is an expression of thanksgiving and praise.
Practice gratitude as a jewel for self discovery that enables us to transform our thinking and therefore our reality. We can go from the frustrations of delay to the opportunity to breathe, relax and be still, connecting to spirit within. Instead of seeing the glass as half empty, we see the glass as half full.
"Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving." Kahlil Gibran
Gratitude and Divine Creating
Gratitude and divine creating go hand in hand. The grateful heart sees the goodness in oneself, in people and in the world. When we see how blessed we are our heart expands.
Our beautiful expanded hearts are the fertile soil upon which gratitude and divine creating manifest in the material world. Love flows from our joyous hearts enveloping all of humanity, and Mother Earth on golden beams of Divine love and light.
What we focus on we create more of so that we are on a higher internal vibration. More ease and more of what we need and desire flows back to us from gratitude and divine creating. As we continue to consciously create we have more to give to our fellow brothers and sisters on the planet, our loved ones and ourselves.
Gratitude and Giving Thanks
Gratitude and giving thanks in advance for what we want is another important part of the process of divine creating. The praise given for what God is manifesting through us affirms our trust in God’s benevolence. The richness and abundance of the Universe is flowing in us and all around us. Then we organically magnetize more to ourselves with ease and flow.
When we focus our intention on gratitude and giving thanks for what has not arrived yet we are working with the Divine. We are truly trusting that what we are intending to create it is on it's way. All we need to do is to be ready to receive it with an open heart.
When we keep our hearts and minds open to what is so freely available to us through gratitude and giving thanks, we are in the flow. Receiving our birthright of love, peace, joy, abundance and creativity anchors us in the reality of our true nature as spirit beings.
We are love made manifest in flesh. We are at one with God, all creation and the universe. The doorway to this awareness opens when we practice gratitude daily. And so it is.
