The Key is Presence

For November, I wanted to write about the power of gratitude. But that seemed a little cliche... by now, I can only hope people are aware of the powerful potential of this emotion.

To truly be grateful, to feel gratitude, requires a certain degree of presence. An awareness surrounding our circumstance(s) in life. A clarity that allows one to see the reality of their own situation - individually or relative to the world around us. To the point where we can't help but come back to this very moment - in awe and appreciation for the gifts of life. For the gift of life itself.

The key here is presence. To exist in awareness of this very moment.

In gratitude, you'll find presence.

In presence, you'll find gratitude.

The two are inextricably connected.

So, if ever you find yourself unable to connect with the things which you (or others tell you to) feel grateful for, simply be present. With the breath, with the moment, with the Self. And watch as gratitude creates its home in your heart.

Live your Truth

& Love to All,

Emily
