Daily Spiritual Practice: Five-Fingered Gratitude

Guide yourself to a centred, focused state of gratitude by following the steps below:

• With your eyes closed, practice opening the fist of your heart by actually making a fist while inhaling, and then opening it as you exhale.
• Breathe deeply as you allow the energy of gratitude to flow around you and within you.
• Touching your thumb to your index finger, think of something that you're deeply thankful for in the present moment. Visualize it clearly and give thanks for it.
• Touching your thumb to your middle finger, travel back in time and think of something you feel deeply grateful for that happened in the past. Visualize it clearly and give thanks for it.
• Touching your thumb to your ring finger, project yourself into the future and think of something that you're deeply thankful for that is waiting for you in the future. Visualize it clearly and give thanks for it.
• Touching your thumb to your little finger, think of something that transcends all time that you're profoundly grateful for. It could be Source, or universal love, or life itself. Give thanks for it.

This simple five-finger gratitude helps you to enter into a beautiful state of grace. Carry it with you into your day.
