Hi guys, welcome to today's guided meditation where we're going to focus on

gratitude. It is single-handedly one of the most powerful practices in my life.

It is how I am able to reach for joy even in the hard seasons. It is why I am so

positive. It is why I feel so blessed and so grateful all of the time and so I

want to be able to take you through this practice. This is something that you can

come back to again and again if you're having a hard day or if you need to go back to that place

of abundance and blessing, come back to this. Now if you've never done meditation before,

no worries. This is guided meditation so I get to be your teacher and what I want you to do

is to focus on two things throughout this exercise. The first is your breath. Let's practice.

I want you to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Do that with me a couple

times. In through your nose, out through your mouth. So if you find your mind start to wander,

just come back to that breath in through your nose, out through your mouth, and come back to the

sound of my voice. So before we begin, I want you to get yourself into a comfortable position.

I usually like to sit with my feet, planted firmly on the floor, and my hands resting comfortably

in my lap. You don't want to be too relaxed because it's actually easy to fall asleep if you are.

So I want you to stay present in this moment and let's begin. Start by closing your eyes.

No, for real, close your eyes. And we're just going to begin to breathe in through your nose

and out through your mouth. Again, in through your nose, and as you blow that breath out through your

mouth, I want you to feel the tension start to leave parts of your body, in through your nose,

and out through your mouth, in through your nose, and out through your mouth. And as you continue to

breathe with a cadence that feels comfortable for you, I want you to imagine that there is a light

shining down on the top of your head. Continue to breathe and imagine a bright white light
