16 Minute Meditation for Gratitude

Gratitude is a powerful emotion that can have a profound effect on our lives. When we feel grateful, we are acknowledging the good things in our lives and recognizing that we are fortunate. This attitude of gratitude can lead to increased happiness, improved health, and greater success.

In this meditation, we're going to focus on cultivating gratitude and creating a healthier attitude.

06:09: Today's Meditation
---
About 18 years ago I was walking through Borders downtown in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and I saw Stephen King’s book “On Writing” staring back at me from an end cap facing the door. It had a beautiful dust jacket with a picture of a light yellow house with a storm door.
I wasn’t into Stephen King’s work — and in fact, I’m still not — but I was drawn in.
Stephen King’s work may not be to everyone’s taste, it’s certainly not to mine, but I think we can all agree he is a prolific writer who can craft a story and weave a narrative like no other.
I picked up the book and devoured it in the Border’s cafe. I took it home with me — after paying for it, of course — and I devoured it again.
And again.
And again.
Over the course of a summer I must have read that book five times. Partly a narrative about his career, and partly a how to manual for writers, I was captivated.
One part, in particular, stood out, and I have come to that teaching time and time again over the last 2 decades.
Today's episode is about that teaching.

Time Exists Within You

It's hard to look at the world around us and not conclude that time is an external force that's ruling our lives. Yet, we are capable of finding as much time as we need when we quiet our mind and go within.
