As you breathe in,feel your belly fill up with the breath, front and back ribs expand. Breathingout, draw the belly in, ribs draw back to center. Two more deep breaths, here.Allow yourself to fully feel your inhale, fully feel your exhale. Bring to mind an object in your life that you are thankful for. Note the size of thisobject. Can you hold the object in your hand or is it larger? If you can holdit, imagine the weight of the object in your hand. Whether you can hold theobject or not, imagine the textures. What material or materials is the objectmade of? Note the shape or shapes that make up the object. What color or colors?What is the function of this object? Is there any sentimental value attached tothis object? What memories arrive as you bring this thing to mind? If thisobject is a gift, extend your gratitude to the gift-giver. Perhaps this objectwas a gift to yourself. Extend gratitude to yourself. Find a deep breath in, deep breath out. Now, say to yourself, “I am thankful for [whateverthat object is].” Again, keeping this object in mind, say to yourself, “I amthankful for…” Once more, with a deep breath in, acknowledging gratitude for everything,everyone, every entity that allowed this object into your life. And a deepbreath out, releasing tension and inviting ease, say to yourself, “I amthankful for…”Letting go the image of this object, bring your attention to the support of the ground beneath you, the air you’re breathingin, the sounds around you, the here and now. Bring gentle movement to your body.Softly blink open your eyes. Move with gratitude for those things that bringjoy and ease to your life into your day. Thank you for meditating with me.Peace.
