Gratitude involves a wholehearted embrace of the present moment. In this practice we embrace what’s already here and now, instead of looking for more.
So now settling into your meditation
posture for today's practice.
And allowing the eyes to close.
And as a support to arriving
here a little more fully, now
taking three deep, slow breaths.
So breathing in.
And breathing out.
And two more like that in your own time.
And then relaxing any
control of the breath.
Just let the body breathe in
its own natural rhythm and pace.
But staying in touch now with the
feeling of the breath moving in you body.
Finding a place to rest your
attention on the breath.
And as you find this resting place for
your attention in the movement and flow of
the breath, just beginning to become more
and more intimate with those sensations.
And moving awareness right up close.
And feeling the flow of each
breath and also noticing the little
spaces in between the breaths.
The breath is something that we
can so easily take for granted.
But isn't it a miracle right now
that the body is breathing and that
you have this time out to simply be.
And can you bring yourself wholeheartedly
here, to this moment, to this time,
this place, to feel what's here
to be felt and to be fully alive
to this moment and to this breath.
And in this moment, knowing that
your heart is also beating for you.
The body is digesting food.
Your ears are hearing these words.
And all the while the planets are
spinning, the food is growing, sun is
shining, and the planet is maintaining
its axis and over a million other
conditions are supporting you in living
this fresh, new day, which will, of
course, only be lived once and is
precious, fleeting and truly a miracle.
And if the mind wanders off, just dropping
your awareness back to the breath.
And each moment of our lives, just like
the breath, is unique, unrepeatable,
precious, and will only be lived once.
And gratitude is the practice of
living our precious moments fully.
And as this practice now draws to
a close, take, a deep breath in.
And as you breathe out, just beginning
to wriggle the fingers and toes.
Now open the eyes.
And notice how your body and mind
are feeling after the meditation.
And perhaps just making an
intention now to take this sense
of appreciation and gratitude with
you into the rest of your day.
And wishing you a wonderful day.

Vidyamala’s tips on catching anger as it’s happening or about to happen are great - clear, practical, and doable.

The little talks before the meditations are priceless. It's like I've found my peeps. The topics, the quotes, the goals—it all makes so much sense to me, things I want to be thinking and learning about. Most importantly, the meditations are kindness-centered, which I love. It feels like a new way to approach meditation.

Incredible, easy to navigate app. I would highly recommend this app to anyone who wishes to reduce stress and anxiety or simply as an aid to improve overall mental health.

So calm and soothing. I love the new bundle with Kelly Boys, she’s brilliant!

Better than Headspace. I've had the paid version of both apps, and I must say I enjoy this one better.

I am very new to meditation, and am so happy that my first introduction to it has been through this app
The first session was fantastic. I feel safe. And supported. Almost like having someone helping me through my difficult time. I’m very grateful for this app.
