Sunday Morning Meditation November 22 2020

This is the beginning of the last full week in November, as well as Thanksgiving in the US.

As you may have noticed, we are still up to our eyebrows in polarizing politics in America.  One newscaster said, "the US is behaving like a 3rd world country."  I think many people will be relieved and sleep much better when everyone manages to calm down!

Last week in meditation class we focused on Forgiveness and Compassion.  During Thanksgiving Week, we are focusing on Gratitude.  One benefit of having a Gratitude Practice is that it increases our capacity for being happy.  Another benefit is that we are more satisfied or at peace with our lives.  Being Happier and more at Peace with ourselves sets us up for having clarity and being more grounded every day.  If we are more content with ourselves, we may not spend as much money or buy stuff we don't need this time of year.

During this week, take a few minutes at the end of your day to write down about 4 or 5 things you are grateful for.  This can be someone or an experience or something that you use or appreciate.  See how well this gratitude practice works for you.  And, let me know in the comments.

Have a Wonderful Week.  And, Remember to Breathe ~ Mary Christopher
