The Gratefulness Breath

So you just got a little bit of good news. Or you saw the sun break through the rain clouds for a moment of bright light.  Or you saw someone who made you laugh.  

Take a deep breath to really feel that moment of happiness.  Start at the belly, exapand the ribs and fill your lungs all the way to the top of your chest - where your collarbone meets the arm.  Fill up with oxygen, fill up with thankfulness, and then exhale, let yourself relax into that feeling.  

Keep breathing it in, deeply and fully, until you're totally filled with this good thing.  

So some things are falling down, some things are really changing all around us, and new seeds are being planted for better ways.  And the same wonderful things that made us happy before are still there, abundantly.  Breathing them in will help us notice them more, appreciate them, till we see how full our lives are, how much we have.

Happy breathing!
