The Gift of Gratitude, Day 4: "Unlocking...

Mary Meckley
About this episode

Today's meditation weaves together two powerful themes: gratitude and interconnectedness. You'll be using the Lotus Mudra, a symbol of the open heart, to cultivate a deeper appreciation for the blessings in your life and to recognize the threads of connection that bind us all together. This practice will help you experience the joy and peace that arise from living with gratitude and compassion.

"The world outside may be turbulent, but within each of us lies a wellspring of peace and resilience. "Unlocking Tomorrow" is a meditation series dedicated to helping you access those inner resources. These meditations are designed to help you cultivate calm amidst the storm, connect with your inner wisdom, and discover the purpose that will guide you through these changing times. Let's explore these inner landscapes together."
