Day 16: The Hidden Secret of Being
In today's meditation, we explore how the practice of gratitude reveals the hidden qualities of our awareness: wonder, joy and beauty. As grace connects us to the hidden truths of nature, we are really discovering the essence of our expansive liberated self.
Gratitude awakens these dormant gifts of our unlimited self and makes them powerful forces of positive change in our lives. As our self expands through gratitude, our concerns, anxieties and insecurities become small and insignificant, while our experience of joy, freedom, beauty and compassion continues to grow.
Our centering thought for today is:
Everyday, my being seeks new ways to expand.
"Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet"
~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Sanskrit Mantra
Ananta Swa Bhava - "My true self has no limits or boundaries"

Journal Questions
Write the something in your environment right now that you are grateful for, but have never fully recognised before. It could be something as simple as the satisfying click of the keys on your keyboard or the effortless way your chair swivels.
Remember a time when you were alone in nature, in which you felt unbounded and free. Elaborate on what that experience felt like.
Set aside two minutes right now to simply be - no words, no interactions, no activity. Feel your inner self expand and afterward write about what this experience felt like.
Namaste
