What do you value in your life? Sean Fargo leads a guided gratitude meditation, inviting us to note and give thanks for various things in our life that we value – from people to experiences to resources.

Find just a comfortable seated position, maybe taking a couple of deep breaths.

Closing the eyes gently or looking downward to limit visual distractions, just kind of softening into the body, feeling your feet on the ground, body on the seat and just kind of noticing what's present in the body for you, noticing any predominant sensations around the belly or the chest or the head and simply sensing into this experience and the body. 

Now shifting awareness to the things in our lives that we value, the people in our lives who we value, the pets or animals that we value, the experiences of our life that we value, the teachers and elders who we value, the resources and opportunities we have that we value, these breaths that we're breathing that we value.

So many things, so many people, so many experiences that we value. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much. Thank you. Taking a deep breath or two, slowly opening your eyes whenever you're ready.
