Gratitude is often described as a feeling that arises when life goes well. It can also be practiced, one phrase at a time.
Affirmations of Gratitude is a guided practice built on repetition. The recording opens with the idea, stated as coming from research, that something must be repeated seven times to be remembered. Most of the affirmations are then spoken seven times, and you are invited to repeat them along with the voice.
The affirmations cover gifts received from others, gratitude toward others, ourselves and the greater good, being open to receive and give love, releasing hurts through compassion, kindness and thankfulness, and gratitude for health. The practice closes with the line “I rejoice in the way things are.”
Each phrase is repeated slowly, which leaves time to notice how it lands before the next one begins.
