Summary
Meditation on Gratitude. We continue our meditation series on cultivating gratitude. Today's meditation technique includes focusing on your fourth chakra at your heart center to send love and gratitude for the people in your life. As always, you don't have to do the meditation technique -- they are simply there to help you transition from your busy day to a state of stillness. The techniques also help to calm "monkey mind," when your thoughts continuously interrupt your meditation. This is Part 5 of a 7-Part Meditation Series on Gratitude, Episodes 428-434. I created this week's meditation series while in Arizona where I'm right around the corner from the Grand Canyon. It's pretty hard to look at the Grand Canyon and not feel expansive. Six million years of the earth's evolution are exposed in layers of rock right before your eyes. When you contrast the expansiveness of the Grand Canyon with the moment in time you are living right now, it helps put the worries and cares of today into perspective. I'm pretty sure that's why people from all over the world crowd along the rim of the Grand Canyon peering down into the exposed history of the earth. For many of those people the Grand Canyon reminds them that the big issues they face today aren't so daunting when they consider the challenges they've managed throughout the whole of their life. But you don't have to travel to the Grand Canyon to gain perspective on your life. Cultivating gratitude can give you ongoing perspective on the value of your life. Gratitude has been know to improve health, heal relationships, increase wealth, cure depression and lay addictions to rest. Enjoy this meditation series on gratitude. In Sunday's meditation, Episode #428, I share Jack Kornfield's beautiful meditation on gratitude from his book, "The Art of Forgiveness, Loving Kindness and Peace."

| 0:35.2 | up for yourself to connect to the best part of who you are. I know that |
| 0:41.8 | it's not always easy to find the time to meditate, but here you are doing this for yourself. |

| 1:05.9 | Thursday I share a chakra meditation technique. Now, as always, you don't have to do the meditation techniques, |
| 1:13.9 | but I like to share a different meditation technique every day because I find that the techniques |

| 1:41.6 | You'll focus or visualize a chakra. |
| 1:45.5 | Chakras are simply energy centers throughout your body |
| 1:50.1 | where your emotions are harbored and your memories. |
| 1:55.5 | And so this is a unique way to tap into |
| 2:00.2 | helping you manage overwhelm, stress, anxiety, grief, |
| 2:06.1 | all those big emotions that may hold you back as you go throughout your day. |
| 2:14.7 | So let's get you seated and nicely meditating. Make sure your body is comfortable |
| 2:23.3 | and that you're somewhere where you're not likely to be interrupted. And start to relax the |
