Gratitude: A Poem by Jill Death

A Prayer of Thanks

Giving thanks to all the things we are grateful for 

The more we appreciate, the more we will uncover and explore 

The air that we breathe that keeps us alive 

Food and water, shelter, walking in the countryside 

A joy will overcome us and fill our bodies with love 

Feeling humbled, flooded with light from the universe above 

You begin to see the beauty in yourself and the world becomes a magical place 

Attracting this abundance of energy is a blessing we can start to embrace 

Having faith God will show us everything we need 

Every day heartfelt gratitude resonates in our lives that proceed.

Beautiful and insightful, thank you so much! Thank you for “walking in the forest” for me. I do have a comment about “care homes” and the like. They’re not just places for people to dump off ailing/elderly family members. I live in independent housing for the disabled and hope I can stay living here! For six years, I lived with my family. Not all is idyllic, not all can be idyllic where the elders help with the children, etc. They have as many health and emotional issues as I do! Also, I know that nursing care would be a great burden to my family. I will gladly move when and if the time comes. And be grateful for what is, and for the care I receive, until I am no longer aware of what is! Then it will be time to leave, that’s my personal plan. Blessed be*

Curiosity

Curiosity is our natural ability to look at things with fresh eyes. As we put aside opinions, concepts, projections, and expectations: we become available to experience this moment with the wonder and innocence of a child. 

Being curious brings us into a natural, open, and vast space to explore: “What is this?” “What am I experiencing?” “What am I feeling?”

4. Bring more awareness to what you are feeling. Focus on your felt experience and the qualities of the Inner Resource as you embody it. Resist the habit to analyze. Simply feel your body and emotions. 

5. Be open to your current experience, whatever it is, without judgment. Just ride the wave of the experience.

6. Remember that the quality of your attention and what you are feeling are more important than the content. Notice how your attention changes, waxing and waning, growing stronger, and sometimes getting distracted. No worries, simply bring your awareness back to the moment, take a deep breath, and focus on the Inner Resource.

7. Become familiar with the feelings and sensations of the Inner Resource you have chosen. Feel what is showing up in your physical body and your emotional body. Be curious to discover how this Inner Resource will support you in your life, to be who you really want to be, and feel how you really want to feel. It is through feeling the Inner Resource that you activate the frequency of it. 

Take 5 Deep Breaths

1. Feel your body.

2. Relax your shoulders.

3. Choose a word that makes you feel peaceful, such as om, peace, or love.

4. Inhale slowly while mentally saying the word you chose. Pause before starting the exhalation.

5. Exhale slowly while mentally saying 1 with the first breath. Exhale saying 2 with the second breath, up to 5 or more.

Feel Your Body

Relax your body, and just be aware of how your body feels. Be curious about what is happening in your body. Without changing anything, just notice what you are feeling. Notice where you are feeling things in your body. Make yourself more comfortable if you’d like. Take a deep breath, and feel the sensation of aliveness and the energy of your body.
