Speaker:
Wherever you are,
2
:
in whatever moment you find yourself,
3
:
take a slow, deep exhale
4
:
And a gentle inhale
5
:
Let the busyness of the world fade around
you and take a moment to simply breathe
6
:
Now open to your senses.
7
:
What do you notice?
8
:
The temperature of the air on your skin?
9
:
The softness of a cushion beneath you?
10
:
A familiar scent in the room
11
:
Light falling across a table
12
:
Find one simple thing you find beautiful,
13
:
comforting,
14
:
inviting
15
:
It could be completely ordinary, yet
something that if it were gone, if
16
:
you were to never see, feel, smell,
or experience it again, you would miss
17
:
ghia: Recognize this with gratitude
18
:
Stay with it
19
:
Acknowledge it deeply
20
:
Let yourself notice that it's
here and that you've been given
21
:
the gift of experiencing it
22
:
Now perhaps with your eyes closed
or a hand pressed to your heart,
23
:
breathe in gratitude as
if in a prayer to God
24
:
You don't need words,
25
:
only your intention
26
:
Notice how the gratitude
feels in your body
27
:
Where do you feel your gratitude breath?
28
:
What qualities does your
gratitude breath have?
29
:
It's likely no one else
will notice this moment
30
:
But no one else needs to
31
:
Only you and God know the
gratitude you have experienced.
32
:
A gift,
33
:
a sacred moment,
34
:
ghia: A quiet prayer
