Join me on a relaxing journey into gratitude inspired by Thanksgiving. Light the fire of gratitude in your heart and spread it all around. Read aloud, but not recorded was a shortened version of the Thanksgiving Address, written by Colleen Benelli of Reiki Lifestyle, in her Gratitude Ceremony:

Today we have gathered and we see that the cycles of life continue. We have been given the duty to live in balance and harmony with each other and all living things. So now, we bring our minds together as one as we give greetings and thanks to each other as people. Now our minds are one. We give great thanksgiving to the Earth Mother, the Waters, the Fish and the Plants. We are grateful for the Food Plants, the Medicine Herbs, the Animals, and the Trees. We give great thanks for the Birds, the Four Winds, the Thunderers, The Sun and Grandmother Moon. We send Blessings to the Stars, and the Enlightened Teachers. And we send our deepest gratitude to the Creator.

THE IROQUOIS THANKSGIVING ADDRESS "Ohenton Kariwahtekwen" Colleen sites: “I found this version of the Thanksgiving Address at www.deerdance.org. Terry Kem, founder of Deerdance, was first introduced to the Thanksgiving address through Wilderness Awareness School and later from an Elder of the Iroquois Nations, Jake Swamp.”

I am grateful for you, thank you. 💖

May all beings benefit! In Gasshō
