This is Jacqueline, and today is a day that's traditionally about giving thanks and gathering and reflecting on the blessings in our lives, but instead of doing the usual Thanksgiving Day talk, I really just wanted to, um, gift you something different. It really is just a moment just for you to ground, to reflect, to fully embody gratitude. So this episode is an Expanded Gratitude Meditation. It is a guided journey to really help you connect with the energy of gratitude in its purest, most expansive form. And whether today's full of celebration or you're just carving out some quiet time for yourself, this meditation really is here to help you soften into the present moment. Really reconnect with the abundance that is around you and carry deep gratitude forward in your life.
