Thanksgiving Evening Gratitude

 

Greetings,

On this Thanksgiving evening, let us pause together... Feel your breath. Feel your body.  Reflect for a moment...

Let's give Gratitude for the body — which carries your heart, your mind, your spirit.  Repeat this quietly to yourself and notice what you experience: "Without this body, I do not exist as a human. Without this body, I can not experience life as a human. Without this body, my soul can not evolve in this life time."

Please join me in giving... Gratitude for Mother Earth — which gives us life... water, fire, ground, tree, wind. The elements that breathe us into being.Gratitude for family — made of love, woven through time.Gratitude for this community — which connects us across distance, holds us in practice, reminds us we are not alone on this path home.Gratitude for all existence in the vastness of the cosmos — stars, galaxies, mystery itself.And Gratitude for what wants to emerge when we say yes to the call of embodied awakening.

May the grace of this day continue moving through your body, your practice, and your becoming.       Sending you and yours many blessings from me and the entire team at The Chi Center.

In love and wisdom, Master Mingtong Gu (The Chi Center).

To Love!

              In giving to others, I give to myself.

In the spiritual universe, we only get to keep what we give away. Many thoughts that masquerade as self interest are actually thoughts of self sabotage. For when we seek to win at the expense of others, we subconsciously seek to deny ourselves.

Surrendering to the ways of God is not an act of self sacrifice, but rather the opposite. For in withholding My love, I am sacrificing a life of spiritual abundance and emotional freedom. Today, I give my love to others that I might feel more loved.

Dear God,

May I not be tempted

To withhold my love

In surrendering to love

I surrender to that which wishes for me my greatest good

The ego speaks, but the ego lies.

May love drown out its voice today.

Amen.
