Giving Thanks

11/21/2012

We are accustomed to giving thanks for specific things, events & people in our lives. But it is a bit different to simply feel a sense of gratitude run through us without attaching it to the things we like, as opposed to the things we don't like. As a human being it is so very easy to polarize between the "good" & the "bad" in our lives & the world. But for me some of the most profound experiences have come through loosening my attachment to this tendency to categorize everything. 

So during this time of Collective ThanksGiving I invite you to join me in simply observing this tendency to choose what to be thankful for & instead attend to the cultivation of Gratitude itself. In this process I realized that even the most distilled prayer of thanks - just being thankful for my life itself - seemed to oppose that which does not have material form. And in the wake of this realization I began to feel the energy of Life that permeates All That Is, & this energy filled & surrounded "me" & radiated thru this personal embodiment. 

I am fond of saying "Thanks Be" rather than "Thank You" for this very same reason. For it lessens the division between the thanker & the thanked. So Giving & Receiving Thanks begin to weave together & become indistinguishable in the flow of the energy of Life. In the end it's all just playing with words......what really matters most is simply inviting this feeling of Gratitude to permeate Life & all that manifests within it.

Thanks BE ♡ Jeanette

My own Journey to the Center of mySelf has been rich & diverse & has led me to create this Center for Transformation to offer information about Traumatic Awakening and Soul stories that help us rediscover the truth of who we really are.
