Has gratitude been unrecognized or forgotten? This guided meditation, with a printable script below, invites you to notice your own experience of gratitude around health, relationships, money and protection, and where it has been present but unrecognized.
A note from Sean
For me, gratitude often comes naturally when I am truly present and have softened my sense of control. I didn’t ask to be born. Here I am, breathing, relatively cared for, relatively safe. That brings some humility, and a deeper feeling of interconnectedness.
Try this today. Pick one area from this page: health, relationships, money, or protection. Find one thing in it that is working right now. A knee that bends, a text from a friend, a roof overhead. Pause for three breaths and let your body register it, maybe as warmth in the chest.

This suits anyone, including when life feels thin. If health, money, or a relationship is a sore spot right now, go gently. Start with the area that feels easiest, and stop when you need to.
