Now is the time for radical gratitude, explosive declarations of appreciations for the good and bad, the cheerful and sad situations, circumstances and relationships in my life! I am proposing more powerful projections of gratefulness for all that is my life presently. Further, I realise that these new heightened expressions of gratitude only have their real & truest effect when given in the now, presently, this moment. So firstly, let me thank Mr. Thomas Cho of alkalife Natural Alkaline Water for giving me the opportunity to write ‘The Enlightened Life’ post for his website. I love writing and I also cherish the chance to write about Mind/Body and healthy lifestyle topics. It’s one thing to be grateful for times gone by, but the most powerful expressions of thankfulness are those served up in the present. For example, I can recall my car accident some 10 years ago, and think back at how lucky I am to be alive and also the lessons Ive learned from that fateful night. But it’s only when I declare my gratitude, speak my appreciation or even sing my joy of having gone through such an ordeal, in the present moment, that the freeing, empowered force of gratitude is released and can then lift my spirits, or raise my vibration or consciousness. For me, gratitude has become my own personal internal warrior. Always waiting, watching, without judgement or want. This warrior is ever ready to be released into any situation or circumstance at any time, armed with love and forgiveness to uplift & bring a great light of transformation to any experience. As Cicero the great Roman Politician said,” Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.” In fact for me its the pre requisite for love, forgiveness and freedom. It’s been said time and again that the universe loves gratitude, and that’s because in expressing gratitude in our most powerful, heartfelt and authentic way we are reaffirming our oneness with god, source or infinite mind if you will. In expressing our deepest appreciation we re-declare that everything, everyone is ultimately one. We are then conscious that the Hermetic principle of The Law of Attraction is ALWAYS working for us whether we realise it or not. The more I express my gratitude the greater gifts I get to express my gratefulness. But here’s where the real power is, the ultimate power is in expressing gratitude for whatever is happening in life currently, without any judgement of whether it was good or bad, pleasurable or painful. To know that beautiful lessons exist in all experiences, and to know that how I’m rewarded for my gratitude has nothing to do with me. I couldn’t care when it comes or how the blessing will look. I’m simple aligning with my most authentic or higher self. Sound, the spoken word for me seems to have to most direct and responsive effect in co creating with source. So as much as I can I want to speak, pronounce and even sing my gratitude daily. So I’m setting up a 7 day Gratitude Challenge. Each day for a week I will speak either silently to myself or speak it out loud or sing it, all of the things I am grateful for no matter what they look like or how they make me feel, as much as possible throughout the day. On paper this looks simple enough, but in the midst of the hustle and grind of daily life our minds twist and turn endlessly back and forth between past problems and future concerns, so this will take discipline on my part. However, the idea is to start and build a current of gratitudinal momentum so that after 7 days I can sense a change in how I see situations that were once familiar and how I’m noticing new situations and circumstances to be grateful for.
