Perfect Abundance Meditation

from January 6, Every Day Spirit by Mary Davis

Gratitude makes sweet miracles of small moments.

Slow down a little. Notice more. Breathe is all in. Give thanks. We are rich with gifts, right where we are, when we begin this day with a grateful heart.

Today, let's register the sight of natural beauty and linger over small moments of tea and friendship. Lets' pause to soak up the sounds of laughter or a lilting bird song. Let's be amazed that our spirits are embodied here in the world to feel a soft blanket, a soapy dish, a loving hand.

Let's breathe in the joy of the perfect abundance that surrounds us now.

Sunrise, sunset and the spin of the earth in between are nothing short of miracles. Lets' be stunned. Let's be awed. Let's be jaw-dropped by the amazingness of life and pierce the jaded boredom of automatic pilot with a sword of gratitude. Let's greet this day mindfully, noticing the small moments of which miracles are made.

Let's offer up our gratitude on the wings of the only prayer we ever need: Thank you.

In the World:

See the world today through sacred eyes. Notice the abundance of gifts.

Feel the world today with a loving heart. Allow a layer of defense to fall away and for your heart to open just a little bit more. Breath into it. Feel the gifts.

Be thankful today for a grateful spirit. Give thanks, aloud or in the silence of the heart, for the gifts.

In the Heart:

I am filled with joy and gratitude. I see the beauty in the small moments of today. I open my heart with words of thanksgiving. I am rich with gifts and miracles.
