21- Day Meditation Experience: Day 5

Day 5 - Gratitude Awakens the True Self

“The road to happiness starts with a deep breath and an awareness of the many blessings tied to that single breath.” ― Richelle E. Goodrich

We might think that to live in grace requires us to pursue a devout lifestyle and retreat from the world. However, we have learned that grace abides in all things, all places, and all times. If we go beyond our changing personalities to connect with our essential self, we contact this ever-present grace and can live this state of grace even in the everyday world.

Our true self is peaceful, but not inert. It is intelligent, powerful, and intimately involved in our every wish and dream. The true self has the creative power and intelligence to direct and manifest your life's journey. When you step into and participate with life from this level, you are always grateful and find grace everywhere.

CENTERING THOUGHT:

My true self is always grateful.

SANSKRIT MANTRA:

Kritajna Hum

I am gratitude.

JOURNAL:

1. Write down ways you can live and speak your truth more often.

Staying true to who I am. Surround myself with positivity. Be aware of who I let in my inner circle.

2. Of your many selves – work self, family self, public self, intimate self – which one needs to come forward more often?

Intimate self

3. Once you know which self needs to come forward more, note some ways to make this happen.

Simple. EXPRESS it. And do not conform. :)
