The Spiritual Art Of Thanksgiving

THE SPIRITUAL ART OF THANKSGIVING

Beneath the November traditions of family gatherings, bountiful meals and holiday preparations lies the potential for the emergence of a deep and life changing spiritual truth: The Law of Gratitude:n n Everything you are grateful for increases.
Everything you are thankful for will amplify.
All that you bless will bless you in return..n n Prepare your inner space now with the awareness and practice of your personal thanksgiving and your outer experience on Turkey Day and every day will be transformed.

In this present real time moment begin by simply looking around you. Bow symbolically and with reverence to the abundance in your home, family, work or play environment. Name and declare the small and large gifts that the Universe has bestowed upon you, from the ability to read this page to the deep connection you may share with another. Your higher consciousness will connect with your thoughts and words of gratitude for your loved ones, your possessions, your pets, your health, your work, your talents, your freedom. With each thought of thanksgiving allow your breath to flow gently and easily to your heart center where love resides and creates more gratitude. And with each intake of breath remember how beautiful and divine is the action of taking in the life force, the exhilaration of being alive, the opportunity to be aware.

For it is through awareness, through consciousness, that true thanksgiving is realized and the law of gratitude is manifest.

As you come to recognize and acknowledge all that you have to be thankful for every moment of every day..from the involuntary life supporting actions of your body to the glory of a sunset on a crisp fall day, your awareness of your abundance increases and multiplies. The vibration of your joy accelerates. And in the process you become a magnet for greater gifts bestowed upon you by the Universe.n n Others who vibrate at your frequency of gratitude will now be drawn to you. Like attracts like. You will be surrounded by more and more loving, open and grateful individuals and more and more satisfying experiences. There is no limit to this law for as you feel and connect with your gratitude you are the center of a gravitational pull that continually expands.

As the consciousness of how this law operates continues to grow, so does the possibility of a deeper soul level gratitude for all that you have found difficult to love and embrace in your life. Consider all those situations and people who have challenged you with a fresh perspective of gratitude and you enter the path of the spiritual warrior. When you open to blessing whatever and whoever pains you for giving you the opportunity to grow, learn and transform, you open to the highest truth consciousness...the Unity of all One.

In realizing that thanksgiving, the feast of Thanksgiving day becomes a true celebration.
