Mindfulness Exercises, with Sean Fargo
Experience of Gratitude
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We guide a gentle gratitude meditation that moves from body awareness to health, relationships, money, and a sense of safety. We close by normalising mixed feelings and inviting nonjudgmental noticing that helps gratitude grow where it was missed.
• settling the body with breath and softening
• noticing health through simple, reliable functions
• recognising care and effort in relationships
• opening to appreciation around finances without shame
• naming where safety and protection are present
• integrating insights without self‑criticism

SPEAKER_01Your experience with gratitude.
SPEAKER_00Let's begin today's meditation on gratitude by finding a posture that feels relaxed and alert.
SPEAKER_01Feeling your body touch the ground or the chair or the bed.
SPEAKER_00Sensing the points of contact with what's underneath you.
SPEAKER_01Feeling the weight of your body. Noticing the rise and fall of your belly as you breathe. Dropping your shoulders. Softening your hands. Loosening your jaw. And relaxing the muscles of your face. And around your eyes.
SPEAKER_00And you can look downward or close your eyes just to limit visual distractions.
SPEAKER_01Sensing into the body.
Gratitude For Health
SPEAKER_00Softening any tension or tightness? And now consider your experience with gratitude in terms of your health.
SPEAKER_01Have you been grateful for the health of your body?
SPEAKER_00Remembering that as long as we're breathing, there is more right with our health than what is wrong.
Gratitude In Relationships
SPEAKER_01What is our experience with gratitude in terms of our physical health? Our ability to move around, to digest food and water. Where has gratitude been present with relationships? Where has gratitude been unrecognized or forgotten with relationships? How would you express this gratitude?
SPEAKER_00Now consider your experience with gratitude in terms of finance and money.
SPEAKER_01Simply noticing without judgment and seeing if you can open to more gratitude around finance and money.
SPEAKER_00Or connection that you value in terms of protection?
SPEAKER_01Where has gratitude been present in terms of protection? How might you feel more gratitude for a sense of protection.
SPEAKER_00Noting your experience with gratitude can help us recognize where gratitude has been present, and where gratitude has been unrecognized or forgotten. It's important to notice our experience with gratitude without self-judgment or self-criticism. Simply noticing our experience, and seeing how we can open to more feelings of gratitude around our health, our relationships, our finances, and feelings of protection.
