Hooray! We’re here for another glorious never-before-lived day!

Beginning each day with a guided meditation awakens not only me but also gratitude that I’m alive.

I discovered Vedic Master teacher and author DavidJi through my explorations for guided meditations. DavidJi hosts empowerment workshops worldwide and has three global best-selling books.

Though impressive, the reason I love meditating with him is his heartfelt belief that meditation heals and gratitude makes life worth living. These are ideas I value, as well.

Here is his advice about developing a gratitude practice.

Five steps for cultivating a gratitude practice

2. Practice acts of kindness.
3. Practice positivity in all of our thoughts, words, and actions.
4. Awaken forgiveness — allowing forgiveness to enfold us in every moment.
5. Celebrate the blessings, savor life’s joys.
