Gratitude is so critical in the Celestial picture that it is addressed once here, as an ongoing element of the 13 Expansion Activity techniques, and as an actual session focus in Block 3 session 6 Becoming Gratitude and Grace. With that in mind I will not be sharing a lot here and what I do will be in relationship to simply developing the skill, which means, doing it.

Gratitude is conscious appreciation. In the fear based, lower frequency world of the last several thousand years we have been programmed to pay more attention to the negative frequencies. Doing so keeps us caged in the personal fears we set in motion at often under the influence of the family and cultural wounds and subsequent low vibration beliefs. We have not been taught to see beauty, look for the bigger picture gifts in the form of the moment, or to affirm the loving basis of life. Being grateful was pretty much a matter of saying thank you. Likely the other person would defer the appreciation and say it right back to us or say that they do not deserve the appreciation.

This action only serves to perpetuate the limited thinking that sees flaws and problems and engages worry, what if scenarios, and feeling like a victim of life, hopeless and damaged and tragic. So, as you can see, we have to break the momentum of that form and re-establish a new movement toward claiming the magnificence of life and self and others. In so doing, we likely must move through the phase of feeling like our excessive gratitude is made up, false, undeserved, weak, silly, embarrassing…you name it. We have to move through this low frequency syrup in order to shake ourselves free energetically, in memory, and in pattern.

Additionally, training ourselves to adjust our focus to see the beauty is the beginning of calling Universal Law into action. For gratitude is the lubricant for abundance and prosperity and flow. Living in gratitude calls things to be grateful for into our awareness and experience. The more you are grateful, then the more there is to be grateful for. The reciprocity is consistent and delivers no matter what your focus. Why not start to pay attention to the idea and see how the higher frequency thought/word/action begets the same. While the lower frequency choice does the same, bring low frequency experiences into our lives.

Overcoming the diversity of previous programming can also be served by applying gratitude. The more I expand my awareness through clearing away energetic debris and toxic unexpressed emotional energy the less impacted by “bad things” in life. This kind of waking up allows me to see differently the past and its influence upon me. A natural response to higher frequency work is that the heart opens. When this occurs the veil begins to fade away and we are able to see and experience people and life more lovingly. The open heart will initiate a growing capacity for being grateful for life and all of its forms. Gratitude in practice allows wisdom to take seed as we see the greater perspective and the power of Love that lives in us all. As we receive this new understanding we then give more of the high frequency energy to life. We soon ask for different things: like opportunities to serve, greater understanding, support in loving more clearly, assistance in letting go of misinformation and beliefs that do not serve…

Start being grateful and create a new frequency of you and the life that shows up for you. We shall look more expansively at gratitude and Grace in a later session. In the meantime pay attention to the Expansion Activity 12 and build muscles of lovingly witnessing life through the eyes and the heart of gratitude. There is so very much to be grateful for, inside and out. Spare no thing the loving wash of witnessing the beauty.
