PRECIOUSNESS - INNER

GRATITUDE MEDITATION

by Cara Rossi

Insight Timer

At the end, take some extra time to connect with all beings who have reasons to be grateful.

Also, consider those who may not feel grateful, for whatever the cause, and include them by extending and wishing they may feel gratitude as you do.

Then allow all images, words and thoughts to dissolve and simply rest in the essence of appreciation.

INFORMAL PRACTICE

Remember to pause throughout the day to reflect on and appreciate any or all elements of the "Inner Preciousness" practice.

See what it is like to feel gratitude for the body while you are actually engaging in activities.

INFORMAL PRACTICE

Remember to pause throughout the day to reflect on and appreciate elements of the "Innermost Preciousness" practice: pre-thought, pre-concept, pre-language. We are energy and openness inseparable. We are that which receives and perceives the changing, unfolding of experience.

Rest in the "background" of experience instead of the usual tendency to be involved in the "foreground" or content of experience.

Practice being completely present and aware without focusing.

Grateful for Being itself, the Source of all Capacities...

INFORMAL PRACTICE

Generosity Challenge!

Each day this week consciously give something away or make an offering.

What is it like to give something away that is still meaningful to you?

Offerings can be traditional like a gift or donation. It could be an offering to your altar or offering time to another person, animal, group, organization or the planet.

Notice and allow feelings of genuineness as well as obligation.

Also notice the small and not so small acts of generosity taking place all around you.
