This is episode 1,627. Welcome to your daily guided meditation. I'm Mary Meckley and you are in the right place.

If you would like to include a little more peace, energy, and clarity into your life today. And I hope you give yourself a lot of credit

for all you're doing for yourself as you get ready to meditate. In today's episode, I want to

welcome you to our brand new series we're launching into this week. This has been an entire

month of gratitude meditations. Each week this month, together we have explored different aspects of gratitude.

You may have been with us this entire month. If you're new, no worries at all. You can go

back and listen to the previous episodes, but you don't need to do that because each episode

is unique in its own way. We simply follow a theme

each week and explore it in depth. We began with gratitude for others, feeling grateful for when

others experience joy and love.

And then we explored gratitude for yourself, for who you are and all you're doing for yourself.

In last week's series, you explored gratitude for the world around you, feeling connected

and grateful for all you have in your life.

In this week's series, you will be guided using meditation techniques to help you create your own personal recipe for gratitude.

When you consider all the emotions you could create recipes for,itude is one of the most powerful emotions. So as you create

step by step ways to feel grateful, it is one of the most powerful rituals you could do for yourself.

And you can do this as you meditate.

So in today's episode, you will begin with the very first step in a recipe for gratitude

in your life.

And that is with you letting go of regrets.

When you have remorse and regret, it's very heavy and that makes it difficult to experience a

more upward, uplifting, emotions such as gratitude.
