Led by Dr. Sheila Patel

This meditation explores gratitude in the present moment. When you recognize that experiences, emotions, and situations are fleeting, you can find gratitude for what is. When you learn to be aware in each moment, rather than take it for granted, you can express appreciation for your experiences and cultivate a sense of wonder about the world around you. You’ll begin with gentle breath and body awareness, rest in appreciation for what is, and close with a grounding in the present moment to meet the day ahead.
