Gratitude is remembering all you have been given including those who gave to you.  Instead of looking at what you missed in your childhood, add-up in your mind all your diaper changes, all the meals prepared for you, all the hugs you’ve received, and “I Love you’s,” and myriad loving actions offered to you to make your life work.  Now ask yourself this question: 

Why did the universe give me so much just so I could exist?
How did I deserve so much support? 

We all deserve this infinite loving that makes the world go around. 

Practicing gratitude is the highest spiritual practice because gratitude is what your soul is made of.

It is receiving the gift of every experience. 

The word soul means sun. You are a kinda living star, traveling from body to body, planet to planet. Like how debris in space is pulled by gravity to fuel a star’s growth, your soul’s gravity is love attracting all kinds of experiences to grow your loving even brighter. Your Soul is eternal, a radiant sun that is always receiving and giving. What makes you able to give so much is your ability to receive. 

Gratitude is your ability to receive, it’s what feeds your brilliance. It is your ability to say, “Thank you” for whatever is handed to you by the universe in each moment. The more you practice your soul’s inherent ability to be grateful for everything, the more ablaze with joy you naturally become. Gratitude is your ability to let love in.  It’s what feeds your soul and expands your life. 

Ask yourself, how well do I let life in?  How well do I allow my heart to be touched by the gift of each experience? Fully receiving what you have been given is what gratitude really is.  Feel your life as the profound gift that it is! Only when you fully receive, can you fully give. 

To fully receive is to open our senses to multidimensional reality.  There is so much more happening on the soul level than we have been conditioned to perceive. To move into multidimensional consciousness is to feel more whole and increase whole-brain functioning. We feel more empowered, expanded, and free, instead of bound by time and space.  

Remember, you are an eternal Soul, visiting this earth experience. When you know you are of the Great Loving Spirit of all things, you no longer need to take anything personally. You are a channel for God’s love that makes a difference on earth. When you remember to source your love from above, from your loving core, you are no longer caught in the illusion of dependence. You are sovereign. You have taken full dominion of your connection to universal energy. You feel a divine fullness of loving that automatically fills all your human needs to overflowing. 

And during those moments when you feel unloved, you take full responsibility for your happiness by learning to love all the emotions of your inner child unconditionally. Your inner child needs to feel your strength in the world. For many lives, your existence has been supported by thousands of Family members, friends, and spirit guides, because they all believed in you. Now it’s time for you to believe in yourself, and your cause to help others believe in themselves. 

Deep gratitude is looking deeply into all that you have, both externally and internally. This re-membering of your gifts restores your wholeness. Your wholeness is your strength to be able to take on the world. You are no longer playing the weak game of trying to get something from the world.  You are remembering you are so full of millions of your loved one’s gifts, and you are a great gift.  And your gifting desires to be seen, felt, heard, and experienced to make our world a better place.
