A contemplation and meditation our gratitude, love, and connectedness.
So beginning by taking a moment to
get really comfortable and settled
in here for this meditation.
Allowing your eyes to close.
And taking a long, slow breath in.
And a steady breath out.
And allowing the body to relax
and settle in here a little more.
In today's practice, I'm going to
invite you to take some time here to
contemplate all the things that you
are really grateful for in your life.
So just seeing what
initially comes to mind.
It might be the comforts in your life.
Cupboards full of food.
Enough money to pay the rent.
Hot water for showers.
Maybe your favorite tea or coffee.
The way the morning light comes
into your bedroom in the morning.
And maybe what's coming to mind is
gratitude for your health or a pain
free body, or to have this moment right
now to relax and take care of yourself.
And perhaps what's coming to mind as the
primary thing is the people in your life.
Your loved ones.
And the way they've cared for you.
Been patient with you.
The way they've forgiven you.
Loved you.
Showed up for you.
Supported you.
So just taking a moment to bring
to mind the people who have
been kind and supportive and
encouraging of you in your life.
And I'm going to now introduce some
phrases of loving kindness as a way to
really connect with a feeling of gratitude
for all of the support and kindness
that you've received in your life.
Maybe even from strangers, people at work.
As well as your loved ones,
your family and your friends.
We're going to do this as a way to
kind of send out a thank you and a
blessing to all the people who've
loved you into being, supported
you along the journey of your life.
So bringing those people to
mind, having just a sense of them
in whatever way works for you.
Holding those people in mind,
if you care to now, repeating
mentally these phrases after me.
Thank you for all that you've given me.
Thank you for your love and kindness.
May you have peace in your heart.
May you be free from suffering.
May your life flow with ease.
May you be happy.
And now just bathing here for
a few moments in feelings of
gratitude and loving kindness.
And then taking a deep breath in.
And a steady breath out as you begin
to wriggle the fingers and toes.
And when you're ready, opening your eyes.
Wishing you a great day ahead and thank you for your practice.

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.

I love how the app gives me pointers to new things to explore.

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.
- Gina, Plus+ Member
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.

You get a lot of useful tips for handling stress and anxiety in 'real life'.

Kelly Boys is hands down the best. Everytime I click on one of her guided meditations I get excited for the calmness that lies ahead.
