This meditation is an adaptation of Dr. Kathi Kemper’s Gratitude Meditation from the Ohio State University’s Center for Integrative Health and Wellness. By using the imagery of heart-centered gratitude, we can achieve a positive mood, hope, and resilience. As we experience positive emotions such as gratitude, loving-kindness, and compassion, our awareness broadens and our creativity and problem-solving capacities grow and expand. As a result we become more effective in whatever we choose to do.
