YES, THANK YOU, MORE PLEASE

Whether we are experiencing the highest of all the highs during good times, or the lowest of the lows during difficult times, our ability to persistently focus our lens on all the things, big and small, that we have to be grateful for, can make all the difference.

As I grow through the different seasons of life’s initiations, I’ve come to a deeper understanding and experience of the value of this essential practice.

Though it is often dismissed as trite wisdom or cliché, the impact of the simple yet significant practice of finding causes for gratitude, appreciation and thanks in our daily lives is real.

It is said that gratitude takes the sting out of adversity.

I have found this to be true and have experienced firsthand the many ways in which a consistent ritual of giving thanks can be a lifeline. Saying “thank you”, even and especially in the most challenging times, can serve to keep us connected to Hope, and to a felt sense of the forces of Benevolence and Goodness directing the unfolding of our lives.

Similarly, when we are experiencing the richness of life’s joys, pleasures and gifts, taking time to appreciate these blessings and to actively acknowledge them can amplify our positive experiences and our savouring of the nectar they contain.

In keeping with this intention, we have a weekly Gratitude ritual at our Nourished music medicine journeys where we take time to share some of the things we are thankful for.

Doing this together, in community, while using our voices collectively and weaving it into song, takes the vibration of gratitude to a whole other level. Add in a little fun freestyle flow and it’s game over ;)

This is a clip of “Yes, Thank You, More Please” from a recent Nourished Livestream. If you feel called, you can join us in the practice by leaving a comment below the video and shari the one thing you are grateful for in this moment.

Much love,
Chris
