#1 - The Power and Pitfalls of Gratitude

In today's podcast episode I am discussing gratitude. Gratitude is a truly powerful practice which can help us to bring awareness to all that we are receiving and have. I know that on the days when I connect with this perspective in my morning routine I am much more present for what is presenting itself for me, and appreciative of what I am bringing awareness to.However, gratitude can sweep people into the space of always having to be positive. I say this having been caught up in that a bit myself for a period of time. Either through a lens of comparison, guilt or just not acknowledging our own experiences. Going blindly into gratitude can lead to bypassing of our emotions.When we bring intention to this practice, I believe it can be an empowering way for us to really bring our attention and energy to what we are receiving and through that process we can start to see even more of what is available for us.
