Day 6 – Gratitude Is in the Present
In today’s meditation, we discover how gratitude makes the present moment fully alive, awake, and enriched. We will learn how every instant of our life is a unique gift and that when we are awake to this special value of the Now, we step into a state of grace.
So much of our cultural conditioning pulls us out of the present moment, striving for an impossible ideal in the future. Somewhere outside this present time, we hope to have what we currently lack, or look like what we think we should look like, and feel the happiness we don’t feel now. But this assumes that the present is inherently lacking, and the present is all we ever know. Practicing gratitude turns this around so that we find our completeness in the present moment.
Our centering thought for today is:
Every moment is filled with grace.
"Just be, right now, here; and breathe. Begin to trust the magic of yourself." — Nikki Rowe
