Sanaya Roman said something in her book yesterday that called my soul to attention. She said that whenever we practice gratitude, it cleanses our aura and raises our vibration. How cool is that?
And of course... the clearer our aura becomes and the higher our vibration is, the more joy we can let in and experience. So simple, yet so profound, right?
I have been cultivating a daily practice of gratitude and I do believe it is having an affect on my joy quotient. Time will tell! My gratitude practice is based on Melody Beattie's teaching in her book, Make Miracles in Forty Days. The primary focus is offering gratitude for EVERYTHING in our lives, not just the "good stuff." I highly recommend her book and this practice.
My gratitude blog is here.
I like her practice because it involves saying "I am grateful for..." or "Thank you for..." instead of saying "I feel grateful for..." There is a huge difference. Try it and see. If your car has broken down by the side of the road and you're late for an appointment, you don't have to FEEL grateful in order to say "Thank you for this breakdown."
Of course, there are some things that we are not expected to say "thank you" for. The death of a loved one, for instance. Cruel behavior on the part of another. When my beloved cat Sasha died this past July, I couldn't bring myself to say "I am grateful that Sasha is gone." But I COULD say "I am grateful for the 18 years of love that Sasha gave me" and "I am grateful that the vet was so kind to all of us when he put her to sleep." Etc. Do you see the difference?
Gratitude definitely infuses my life with more joy, sometimes right away, and sometimes it's more of a cumulative thing. Either way, it's always good to allow gratitude to weave its shimmering threads into the fabric of your own life.
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I’m looking forward to your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
