Gratitude is more than a fleeting feeling—it’s a vibration, a way of moving through the world that unlocks abundance, joy, and connection. In this episode, we explore gratitude from both yoga philosophy and modern spiritual wisdom, weaving together insights from Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, Bhakti Yoga, and teachers like Deepak Chopra.

You’ll discover:

  • How gratitude shifts us from scarcity to abundance and opens the flow of life.
  • The two arms of gratitude—giving and receiving—and why both are essential for balance.
  • Why receiving gratitude can feel uncomfortable, and how to explore beliefs around worthiness.
  • Yogic perspectives on gratitude as santosha (contentment) and bhakti (devotion).
  • A journal prompt to help you reflect on your relationship with receiving gratitude.

Gratitude isn’t just about saying “thank you”—it’s about embodying contentment, devotion, and trust in life’s unfolding. By embracing gratitude, we align with the universal flow, soften resistance, and open ourselves to more peace, love, creativity, and prosperity.

Journal Prompt:

What comes up for me when I receive gratitude, compliments, or help from others? Do I feel comfortable, or do I resist? What beliefs might make it hard for me to receive fully, and how might gratitude help soften that?

Tune in and learn how gratitude can transform the way you see your past, live in the present, and envision your future.
