Gratitude Meditation

from The Rainbo Podcast · host Tonya Papanikolov

A 20-minute Gratitude Meditation to help you access this powerful, healing state. Studies into the science of gratitude show that reliving stories and memories of when gratitude was genuinely given to you or someone else is the most potent way to shift your neural circuitry into gratitude and a pro-social mindset. Repeated gratitude practice changes how one's brain circuits work and how the brain and heart interact.Most potent form of gratitude practice is not a form where you give it but where you receive it.Gratitude, as illuminated by the intricate relationship between our brain and body, is a profound force that can revolutionize our lives. Studies underscore the remarkable power of narratives in fostering gratitude, with the benefits spanning a broad spectrum of well-being, from joy to cardiovascular health, mental resilience, and pro-social behavior. Gratitude's neural pro-social circuits offer a pathway to connect with others and dismantle defensive behaviors, countering Freud's notion that happiness is elusive. However, not all gratitude practices are equally effective; the most potent form lies in receiving thanks rather than giving it, as it activates empathy and Theory of Mind. Crafting an optimal gratitude practice involves immersing oneself in meaningful stories of gratitude, grounding the experience in genuine intentions, and repeating it to rewire the brain-heart connection. Ultimately, gratitude serves as a transformative force that, when harnessed effectively, can shift our neural circuitry, shaping a happier and more fulfilling life. Aqua Euphoria (with Lucentia) (432 Hz) by Spheriá | https://soundcloud.com/spheriamusicMusic promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Creative Commons CC BY-SA 3.0https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/Instructions to Win a Bundle of Rainbo Products - Leave us Ratings and Reviews:(Or watch the video instructions here)Go to Spotify and search “The Rainbo Podcast”Follow the Show and Rate the Show on Spotify, and take a screenshotGo to Apple PodcastsSearch “The Rainbo Podcast”Scroll down past a few episodes until you get to the “Write a Review” sectionWrite your review and screenshot before you hit Submit, as Apple’s system can take a while to publishSend the Spotify screenshot and Apple review screenshot to [email protected] sure to go back to Apple Podcasts and hit submit on your reviewWe’ll pull a winner at the end of the month once we verify that your ratings/review went through to win a bundle of tinctures!We’ll contact you if you win so you can select your bundle of choiceCheck out all our bundles at https://rainbo.com/pages/bundles.
